OWLNext Changelog

What's new in OWLNext 6.32.2

Dec 23, 2011
  • CHG: Improved fix for issue #3461912 (CDN_SHAREVIOLATION not handled correctly)
  • BUG: TDialog::DialogFunction has non-compliant return type
  • Resolution: Changed the return type of TDialog::StdDlgProc and TDialog::DialogFunction from bool and int,
  • respectively, to TDialogProcReturnType, a new typedef
  • BUG: TOpenSaveDialog::GetShareViMsgId returns 0
  • Resolution: Declared the logically constant static member variable ShareViMsgId as const, and initialized it at file scope.
  • BUG: The thunk diagnostics state (count) gets out of synch if tracing is temporarily disabled during program execution.
  • Resolution: The count is now updated irrespective of the actual reporting. Also disabled the OwlThunk diagnostics group by default,
  • and put the "new thunk count record" warning at level 2.
  • BUG: Buffer overrun in TXRegistry::Check (issue #3457935).
  • Resolution: Implemented the function using string streams (instead of wsprintf in the old implementation).
  • CHG: Removed deactivated and obsolete code in TRegKey (old static keys).
  • CHG: TPointer/TAPointer constructor is explicit when not in OWL5_COMPAT mode.
  • CHG: Changed all usages of TPointer/TAPointer copy initialization to constructor initialization.
  • CHG: Corrected TChooseColorDialog::EvSetRGBColor return type.
  • BUG: std::auto_ptr is used to manage arrays (regression in revision 1162 and 1166)
  • BUG: TResId ipstream op returns local memory and leaks
  • Resolution: Memory is now always heap allocated for the returned string. Note that the caller is responsible for deallocating the string.
  • BUG: TChooseColorDialog::TData copy crash.
  • Resolution: Added proper copy semantics.
  • CHG: The release number is now always included in the library file naming convention, even for stable releases (non-prerelease),
  • to allow binary incompatible updates without bumping the minor version number.
  • BUG: TMessageBar::SetHintText crashes
  • Resolution: Restored the SetHintText(LPCTSTR) overload with the old behavior, and removed the dummy SetHintText(int).
  • BUG: TRichEditView Paragraph Left/Right/Center commands were not functioning with RichEdit 4.1.
  • CHG: Restored legacy BWCC/CTL3D support. Controlled by the defines OWL_SUPPORT_BWCC and OWL_SUPPORT_CTL3D, which are on
  • only when building non-Unicode version with Borland C++/C++ Builder in OWL5 compatibility mode
  • CHG: Put back the implementations if TRegExp methods
  • CHG: utchar should be defined as wchar_t under Unicode
  • BUG: Fixed a regression bug in revision 886. - Incorrect code in TFilterValidator::IsValidInput
  • CHG: Dragging in TScroller works only with 16-bit positions
  • BUG: Restored code that was wrongly removed in Rev. 1077
  • CHG: Added preliminary support for Visual C++ 2011
  • BUG: Fixed an issue where the additional libraries did not link with the correct OWLNext core library when build with VCL enabled
  • BUG: Corrected the definition of BI_NO_STD_OVERLOAD_RESOLUTION to work correctly for C++ Builder 2006
