Preview" and Windows Server 10 "Technical Preview" (the next

10-aware applications.

NEW : IDE: Add Windows 10 and Server 10 target operation system
Conditions to:

- Setup Requirements (OS Version Checking)
- Files and Folders
- Shortcuts
- INI Files
- Services
- File Extensions
- ODBC Drivers
- Run Programs

NEW : Add $WIN_10$ and $WIN_SERVER10$ to the "Common Definitions.sbi"

compiler directive.

option to the "Set App Compatibility Mode..." script function.

to enable SHA-2 type code-signing capability.

SHA-2, and dual SHA-1/SHA-2 code-signing.

NEW : Recompiled wucheck.exe web update check client to provide
Windows 10 "Technical Preview" compatibility.

NEW : IDE: Add "Do not highlight as a newly-installed program" option
to the Shortcut properties (Windows 7 and later). This lets you

Operation..." script function. The function takes two
parameters (Source String, X) and can return a specific

Source String. X specifies the index of the argument to
retrieve. If X is set to 0, it returns the number of arguments.

location of the configuration directory for Clarion 10, Clarion
9.1 and Clarion 9.0.

entry
in the SKU Management Configuration from 1,024 bytes (1KB) to

Visualizer.

FIX : [SB#5-03021] IDE: When you edited a .sbi script and went to do
a "Save As" into a new name, the default extension was not
