Externally modified files can be reparsed to restore the annotations to the correct areas. Annotations that belong to lines after the last line in the file are moved to the last line of the file. Line annotations may be orphaned if the scope entity is removed, and are handled the same as other orphans.

  • COMMANDLINE
  • Und fix that allows the “-l somedir\somefile.dat” to be before the create command instead of always trailing/last.
  • EDITOR:
  • Added language specific editor styles to themes, and updated predefined themes to stylize function, class, and variable names. Added a classics theme for the original Understand theme.
  • Editor Styles, remove old .ini keys so that old values don’t override new ones. This makes Editor Styles not backwards compatible (if you open Understand 4.0 and then open an earlier version, the earlier version will not have the styles).
  • GENERAL:
  • Make the keyboard icons in tools->options consistent with the editor icons in the same view (one keyboard icon for the main page and no icons for sub pages).

Override edges are light blue by default, to change go to tools->options and enter a custom edge style for “overrides,overriddenby” and make sure that “Use Custom Styles on Cluster Call Graphs” is checked.
  • Cluster Call Graphs, Fix aggregate by architecture to work instead of vanishing nodes or doing nothing.

  • Cluster Call Graphs, Made available from api.
  • Allow c# properties to be clusters in cluster call graphs to improve get/set names.
  • Fix graph window reuse checkbox to work across all graph types. So, all graphs whether architecture, global, or entity will reuse the same window. This fixes errors where reuse checkbox being checked caused a graph of a different type to not be generated at all.
  • Cluster Call Graphs, Improve parent determination so that references don’t appear twice in the graph and known entities with unknown parents still appear.
  • LICENSING:
  • Added the ability for the c api to point to a specific build/installation for licensing purposes. This is accomplished by calling udbSetLicense(installedDir) before calling udbDbOpen(dbFilename). The installedDir needs to be the directory above the conf folder. For example: the prioritylicense.dat file that I want the c api to use is in “C:\sti\conf\license” so my installedDir would be “C:\\sti\\”.
  • Updated to check for maintenance expiration and license expiration.
  • PARSER
  • For web php, added support for using ‘list’ in foreach statements.
