---------------------------------------------------------------------- ELOQUENCE B.08.30 - patch PE83-1911270 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This patch adds enhancements or fixes defects of the eloqcore language runtime as released with Eloquence B.08.30-1810. This patch will be integrated in the Eloquence B.08.30 release. Eloquence B.08.30-1810 must be installed before applying this patch. Severity: PE83-1911270: BUG FIX Superseded patches: PE83-1910010: BUG FIX PE83-1909100: BUG FIX, ENHANCEMENT PE83-1906060: BUG FIX PE83-1905030: BUG FIX PE83-1904160: BUG FIX Patch PE83-1911270 ------------------ Platforms: Windows * Fixed various problems affecting eloqcore text mode on Windows. Certain actions could cause inconsistencies in the eloqcore screen buffer on Windows, leading to unexpected output. * If present, a user-specific eloq.rc configuration file is now read from the user's "home directory" on Windows. The Windows USERPROFILE environment variable is used to locate the user's home directory, typically C:\Users\USERNAME. Patch PE83-1910010 ------------------ Platforms: All * Fixed missing timestamp prefix for log messages written to a log file created with the -log command line option. * The Eloquence IDE debugger no longer truncates string variable values to 256 characters in the variables window. Patch PE83-1909100 ------------------ Platforms: All * Fixed unexpected abort when accessing a TYPE variable after STOP (#4294). A message like below was issued: Internal error processing line 0 Assertion failed: (cls->magic == 0x434c5344) file class.c, line 534 in function get_class_ptr * Specifying a return variable for a DLG LOAD statement could have no effect (for example: DLG LOAD Filename$;Status). On DLG LOAD failure, a runtime error could be issued unexpectedly instead of assigning the error code to the return variable. * Fixed wrong character conversion when using an Unicode \u escape sequence in a DLG file (#4299). * Improved DLG v2 enhanced diagnostics and error handling (#4298). DLG GET ".status",Stat DLG GET ".status_msg",Msg$ DLG GET ".status_seg",Seg$ DLG GET ".status_file",File$ DLG GET ".status_line",Line These statements now synchronize any DLG calls still pending in DLG v2 bulk mode. Previously, they could be invoked only after a DLG status had been issued (for example in an ON ERROR handler). Now they can be used anytime to make sure any pending DLG calls have been processed. Patch PE83-1906060 ------------------ Platforms: All * Fixed DLG GET ComboBox.line[] unexpectedly resulting in ERROR 660, caused by incomplete attribute cache implementation (#4290). Please note that this fix requires JDLG version 2.0.3 or newer, available for download at: https://eloquence.marxmeier.com/download/jdlg/2.0/ * Fixed IPv6 addresses not recognized in -dlg command line option and DLG SET ".driver" statement. IPv6 addresses are now recognized in square brackets, for example: eloqcore -dlg [fe80::4261:86ff:feee:9437] DLG SET ".driver","[fe80::4261:86ff:feee:9427]:12345" Patch PE83-1905030 ------------------ Platforms: All * Fixed a problem where POPUP BOX could unexpectedly return error 870 (Improper POPUP BOX format) if the definition is passed in a string variable, caused by an incorrect string length calculation. * Fixed incomplete DLG GET "Tree.udata[I]" result, caused by incorrect string length calculation if cached attribute values are returned. * Fixed possible crash when obtaining enhanced DLG v2 diagnostics, for example DLG GET ".status_msg". A message like below was output: Assertion failed: (seg->magic == 0x5345474d) * Fixed unexpected asynchronous execution of certain DLG SET statements. The statements below are now synchonously executed: DLG SET "Application.browser" DLG SET "Application.closeprinter" DLG SET "Application.openprinter" DLG SET "Application.print" DLG SET "Dialog.do" DLG SET "System.activate" DLG SET "System.sound" DLG SET "System.start" Patch PE83-1904160 ------------------ Platforms: All * Fixed error 653 on DLG SET when using utf-8 encoding. The DLG functionality may internally use the multi-byte utf-8 encoding where the number of bytes and characters may differ. The max. length of a text field (.maxchars attribute) was compared against the number of bytes instead the number of characters.
