SetupBuilder 7.2 Build 3015 (July 11, 2010)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: The "Static Text" control dialog property in the Visual
Dialog Editor (VDE) supports multiple-lines.

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: The "Static Text" control dialog property in the VDE
supports up to 2,048 bytes (increased from 260 bytes).

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: Add the following Conditions to the "If..." and
"ElseIf..." Statements:
- Matches RegExp
- Does Not Match RegExp

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: The "#ifcompvar..." compiler directive supports the
"Matches RegExp" and "Does Not Match RegExp" If Conditions.

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: The "#ifconst..." compiler directive supports the
"Matches RegExp" and "Does Not Match RegExp" If Conditions.

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: The "#code-sign application..." compiler directive
supports a wildcard in the "File Name" field.

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: Add "Finish Dialog" option to the "Custom Wizard Dialog".

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: Add "Hidden" option to the "Custom Wizard Dialog".

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: Increase the dialogs "Sub-Heading" field from 100 bytes
to 260 bytes and the "Instructions" field from 100 bytes to
512 bytes.

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: Add "Increment" and "Decrement" Value Options to the "#set
compiler variable..." directive.

IMPROVEMENT: IDE: Add "File | Save Compiler Output to File...".

FIX : [SB#006071] IDE: The "Remove" button on the "Pick" dialog was
disabled if the project file did not exist.

FIX : [SB#006081] Installer: Possible buffer-overrun issue when
running the installer with event logging mode (/E) enabled and
a runtime variable value was >1,024 bytes.

FIX : Installer: Possible issue when using the "Wizard: Set Control
Properties" script function in a Custom Wizard Dialog.

FIX : Installer: The "Progress Dialog" did not minimize correctly
(using the minimize button) if the installer did not display
a "Wizard Dialog" before the "Progress Dialog".

FIX : IDE: If a "Process after script compilation" task failed, the
compiler reported an incorrect script name (under certain
circumstances) and a wrong script line number.

FIX : Installer: Variables in the wizard dialog window title were
not resolved.

FIX : [SB#007071] IDE: It was not possible to enter variable names
in the "Free DLL..." script function.

FIX : [SB#007081] IDE: The "Handle File Listing (Free File List)"
asked for a variable name specification.

FIX : [SB#007082] Installer: (Clarion 3rd-party developers only).
If the C71/C72 Product GUID existed and the major Clarion
IDE file version was not 7 -or- if the registered Clarion
\Bin folder did not exist then the Clarion detection reported
that Clarion 7.x was installed.

CHANGE : Installer: The "Event Logging" feature displays the current
local date and time instead of the current system date and
time.

CHANGE : Installer: If the "Get System Info(UNC From Network Drive
Letter)" function fails, the return value is the value defined
in "Drive Letter" (and not "0").

CHANGE : Add 'Mutex (SYNCHRONIZE)' option to the "Detect Active
Application" script function. This option sets the right to
use the object for synchronization.

CHANGE : Installer: Minor "event logging mode" enhancements.

CHANGE : IDE: The Ctrl+K shortcut in the Script Editor toggles the
comment like "Comment Out/In" instead of just "Comment Out".

CHANGE : IDE: Add Ctrl+Minus key shortcut in the Script Editor to
"Comment Out".

CHANGE : IDE: The "Context Menu Key" is supported in the Script Editor.

CHANGE : IDE: Minor compiler modifications to detect a reserved code
delimiter.

CHANGE : IDE: Update LSZip compression library add-on to v2.9.9.5. to
work around a bug in the Windows Explorer built-in UNZIP
feature (if the .zip file stores path names). This applies to
the "#zip file(s)..." compiler directive and to the "Zip
File(s)..." script function.

CHANGE : Installer: The runtime always loads the MoveFileEx Windows API
dynamically now.

CHANGE : IDE: The VDE displays the Dialog Label (if defined) in the VDE
title.

CHANGE : Installer: Decrease the width of the displayed Sub-Heading in
wizard dialogs from 275 to 267 (cosmetic correction).

CHANGE : Installer: The "If Clarion..." Statement clears the %_SB_TMP%
variable automatically.

CHANGE : [SB#007083] Installer: The "Handle File Listing..." script
function can process the root of a drive.

CHANGE : Installer: (Clarion 3rd-party developers only).
SoftVelocity released a Clarion 7.2 Professional Edition (PE)
version stamped as 7.3.0.7280. So version-wise, this is Clarion
7.3 and not Clarion 7.2 and SetupBuilder (correctly) did not
detect it as Clarion 7.2. We have added a workaround ("7.3
version fix") to correct this issue.

CHANGE : Recompiled wupdate.exe web update client.

CHANGE : Recompiled wucheck.exe web update check client.

CHANGE : Updated online help.

Do I need to turn anything on for this to work, or is it automatic
with a rebuild of the install?

The compiler will do the dirty work for you :) Just recompile and I hope
this works around the issue. We do not have such a PE version available and
so we had to develop code on a theoretical basis.

Ok, now that that's out of the way... just one small nit to pick!<g>

When 'Mutex (SYNCHRONIZE)' is selected the bottom entry prompt is
incorrect. It's a very small nit, along the lines of microscopic!<g>

Hopefully SV will fix their install also!

Could you add this link to the emails that you send out or a link to just
the build being released? I don't read the newsgroups very much so I would
have missed this tidbit about SV messing up their versions if I hadn't been
snooping around this morning;)

Unfortunately, this is not possible. We had the link in previous
notifications, but about 80% of all subscription notifications sent to Gmail
accounts went directly into the Spam folder (a support nightmare). Removing
the links fixed this.

Understood! In my experience the gmail spam filter works the wrong way most
of the time.<bg>

So it's just the link to the txt that triggers it? You do have links to
other pages but they are all .htm pages. Maybe that is the trick...

We tried different combinations, but additional links always triggered it.
In February, we found a subscription notification format that worked (and
still works!) for all Gmail customers. Never change a working system <g>

Absolutely! I send all my emails to a gmail account also and on more than
one occasion I have had what could be considered spam end up going through
while much more technical emails with no links etc. went straight to the
spam folder. We have spamassassin on the server and it is just about as
useless.

Arnor, et al,

I found Mailwasher ideal for this purpose. I see what is on my mail server and
can delete what I don't like remotely. I only download what I want. Also, it
learns as you go, so it gets better every day.

And since you handle emails on your post office server and not your local machine,
you have made the chance of downloading viral payloads almost zero. I'm very good
at spotting those too.

Also MW handles as many email accounts as you wish. Been using it for over 10
years and won't part with it.

Russ,

They are all talking of gmail blocking the emails _they_ send to
_their_ users for updates etc.... and not their own personal email
client app.

Stop smoking the carpet , man! lol

No, it was the anti-spam features of certain providers. I merely offered my

Yes. And we even had to remove two instruction sentences (nothing special
in the text). It took two days (trial and error) to find the perfect
subscription notification format :-(
