Change Notes for the JDLG 1.3.1.0 070621 1607 development snapshot
------------------------------------------------------------------

Enhancement:

- In addition to $login, $host and $port, a session's "parameter"
  and "environment" values in the session configuration file may
  now be used to resolve a property or environment variable.

  The $(name) token expands to the value of the specified
  property or environment variable "name". Please note that
  depending on the underlying operating system platform the
  variable name may be case sensitive.


  For example:

  SESSIONNAME.environment.0 = HOME=$(USERPROFILE)
  
  This passes the HOME variable to the program. The passed value
  is taken from the USERPROFILE environment variable. On Windows
  this is kind of the user's home directory.

  SESSIONNAME.environment.0 = USERNAME=$(USERNAME)

  This passes the USERNAME environment variable to the program.


  A property is kind of a variable that is passed to the Java
  virtual machine through the -D command line option.

  For example:

  java -DTEST=1 -jar jdlgS.jar

  This passes the property TEST with a value of "1" to Java.
  This could then be passed to a program with:

  SESSIONNAME.environment.0 = TEST=$(TEST)


  Please note that Java versions below 1.5 do not recognize
  environment variables. This means that Java 1.4 requires
  that a property is set to use an environment variable.

  Windows example:
  java -DUSERPROFILE=%USERPROFILE% -jar jdlgS.jar

  Linux example:
  java -DHOME=$HOME -jar jdlgS.jar

  This passes the USERPROFILE (Windows) or HOME (Linux)
  environment variable to Java so that it can be used
  in Java 1.4 to be passed to the program, as shown in
  the examples above.


Known problems:

- On Windows, EditText objects that are set .sensitive = 0 may not
  correctly indicate its disabled state (i.e., not being greyed out).
  This happens due to a bug in Java Swing that unfortunately has not
  been solved until today (as of Java 1.6). Unfortunately, there is
  no workaround available in JDLG. For details, please refer to the
  following Sun Java bug database entries:
  http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5042122
  http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4883120
  http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4853457

- If the Window menu has multiple identical entries they are not
  distinguished. The first entry is always activated regardless which
  entry is clicked. This has always been a bug in JDLG and will be
  solved in a future release.


Please note:

- JDLG 1.3.1 implements a new focus/rule manager. If you encounter any
  problems with this release we would appreciate if you could send us a
  problem report to the jdlg@marxmeier.com mail address.
  Thank you very much.
