Update History NG 5.x
Release Changes |5.30 | -> 5.40

This list contains the bug fixes and extentions made from version to version.

Version 5.40 Release Date 12/27/2004

Added

• Window titles: If subwindows are opened, a additional number is shown in the title line, to ease the recognition of the subwindow state.
• After an "organized" failure (i.e. if Tempus-Word NG announces an error an wants you to restart), temporary files are no more deleted. Now it is simple to recover documents, you worked on, if you activated auto saving in the system parameters.
• "Save work" saves the pathes now relative. If you make sure, that the all path are beyond the Tempus-Word NG main directory, it is now always very easy, to copy the whole installation i.e. on an USB stick and use it wherever you want without installation.
• Tempus-Word NG now supports several JPEG formats (yes, there are truly several different ones). We used modified sources of the "Independent JPEG Group", to add this feature to Tempus-Word NG.
  One wish: If you have images you would like to load into Tempus-Word NG but it refuses to, please, send (if possible) these images for testing. We are willing to implement quite more formats our users like to insert.
• Open template (TWS files): There is a new folder "design", where templates basically are opened from. The last selected template will be the preselection if you open the template folder again. "Save as" will be offered as default, the standard name for saving is "template name.TWD".
• Quit: Accidentally appearing warnings belonging to changed files (i.e. Keyboard layout, dictionaries, a.s.o.) may be canceled. This stops closing Tempus-Word NG.
• Correction: Opening the correction dialog while the cursor is placed on a word, this word will be automatically selected.

Changes (Described errors are fixed in this version)

• RTF import: If negative unicode symbols appeared, Tempus-Word NG quitted.
• Copy block: If a text block was moved/copied in a text and if this block contained index entries that still existed with their internal id that where referenced in subtexts (footer, header), an internal error occured but was not recognized. Adding new index entries caused a system fault.
• Deleting paragraph format: Deleting a format, it could happen, that used formats in subtexts (i.e. footer) where not modified as expected. This could cause an "Error #8" in worst case.
• Text modules: Manually triggering of module search (shift space). Behaviour depends now on the settings in system parameters - misc. settings - text module automation. If selected, shift space will insert simply a space without expanding the module shortcut. If not selected, a text module shortcut will be interpreted anyway.
• Text modules popup: This function - showing all text modules containing the preceeding word in its shortcut are displayed in a popup - was deactivated because of compatibility reasons of STE-Runtime. To show this popup you can now choose "shift control space". The explicit space (that i.e. prevents word break) is now placed on "control space". Inserting microspaces left/right moved to "alternate space" respectively "shift alternate space".
• Database: Umlauts (German special characters) could not be searched.
• Database: Fields where limited to 79 letters. Extending the dialog allowed defining larger fields, followed by a system fault. Fields currently are restricted to 80 letters (will be part of change in the future) to prevent this error situation.
• Database: Main dialog button "cancel" is renamed to "close" because canceling as it it usually defined is not possible there.
• Database: Offered comparison strings where not compatible to the internally used (equal to vs. Equal, smaller than vs. Smaller, larger than vs. Larger). Using the popup entries did not work.
• Database: Choosing search operators from the popup adds shortcuts now.
• Database: Comparing and sorting of float fields ends in system fault.
• Tables: It was impossible to extend tables to full page height, because limits where given from page width.
• Templates (TWS): Templates containing fields that had to be calculated on load, usually ends in a system fault.
• Templates (TWS): After filling the info dialog the template was visually added to an existing document, before a redraw cleared this.
• Load text: I some circumstances it could happen that word wrapping on a initially loaded text could end in a system fault because of some not initialized variables.
• Save as: It could happen, that text fields where not updated.
• Exception handling altered: Follow up errors (block or heap errors) are suppressed now. This preserves the basic error message, that could be overwritten in the past.
• Define extender: Defined extender were not saved/loaded in the work environment.
• GDOS printing: The preset paper size and the margins of printer where not correctly set. Especially successful landscape printing required some experience. Now settings are used correctly and printing always measures from center of page. This preserves perfect placement of double sided print-outs.
• SysDivers: From now on there is no window limit any more.
• SysFens/SysArbeit: Positioning is now solution independent saved in the sys file.
• Placing index entries: Fixed spaces in marked blocks are modified to standard spaces to preserve a expected formating.
• Deleting of temp files altered to achieve the desired operation on MacOS X as well.
• Delete text: An additional "Cancel"-Button allows breaking.
