A-Shell Development History

1511.3.2

Bug fix, XTREE/ATE: the answer array wasn't getting reprocessed in XTROP_REPLACE mode when the data array was updated and row optimization was resulting in only the updated rows being transmitted to the client.

1511.3.1

Bug fix, parameter passing: a passed floating point variable was failing to be converted properly to a received string variable if the receiving string variable length matched the past floating point variable length. For example, passing an F6 to an S6 or an F8 to an S8 was not giving the expected result.

1511.1.2

APEX change/refinement: when previewing images (i.e. //IMAGE GDI directives), APEX now uses the same rendering logic as it does when printing to a real printer or when displaying to the screen using AUI_IMAGE. This seems to result in somewhat improved viewing aesthetics, particularly for PNG images containing fine lines (such as building plans), which previously may have appeared excessively faint when scaled down.

1511.2

Bug fix, ATE: AutoMouse option wasn't getting initialized on connection to match the state in the previously saved settings file.

1511.1.1

APEX refinement: clicking on the preview page in single page view to zoom and/or click-dragging to pan now works somewhat more intuitively than before. Initially it starts in auto-scroll mode, whereby the image is automatically positioned to be maximally in view. After the first single-click zoom operation, it switches to click-drag mode, which allows you to click and drag the image in any direction. If, by some combination of zooming and dragging you manage to position the image almost or entirely out of the viewing pane, just click any of the toolbar zoom or view options to reset it. Previously, the viewer used some inscrutable heuristics to decide when to switch between the click-drag mode and the auto-scroll mode, which was frustrating when working with large images highly magnified.

1511.0.1

Enhancement to AG_MOUSE restores previous settings.

1511.0.1

VUE 3.2(370) now uses the above technique to disable AutoMouse on the ATE client during the VUE session, then restores the prior settings on exit. Previously, this only occurred for A-Shell/Windows local mode. Note that if the ATE version is prior to 6.3.1511.0, AutoMouse will get disabled on entry into VUE, but not restored on exit.
