What's new in QDrop 1.1.8
- A change in 4D's behavior in version 2003 introduced a re-entrancy
problem where if the drop files callback method opened a 4D
dialog, for example by calling the ALERT command, the callback method would be
called twice for each drop. QDrop 1.1.8 implements a workaround to prevent
this from happening.
- Restored compatibility with Windows NT4.
- Identified and corrected a potential issue where the developer license would
not be copied to the compiled structure when building
compiled or standalone applications with 4D 2003.x.
- It was possible to crash on 4D Server when a client was logging out
if at that time the licenses dialog was open. Fixed.
- Long path names are now supported on Win NT.
- Fixed QD_GetDroppedFile crash on Win NT.
What's new in QDrop 1.1.7
- Fixed a bug where the plug-in could crash after switching to another data
file with OPEN DATAFILE or CREATE DATAFILE. MacOS X only.
- Under rare circumstances the plug-in could fail to load expansion
licenses on Windows. Fixed.
What's new in QDrop 1.1.6
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug where the plug-in could crash after switching to another data
file with OPEN DATAFILE or CREATE DATAFILE. MacOS X only.
- Under rare circumstances the plug-in could fail to load expansion
licenses on Windows. Fixed.
Bug fixes:
- In a rare case licenses installed when running under 4D Server
would not be saved. Fixed.
- Under certain circumstances QDrop could cause long delays during
application startup. Fixed.
What's new in QDrop 1.1.5
Bug fixes:
- When running under 4D Server on MacOS X an error dialog reporting
"no stack memory" would pop up continuously. Fixed.
- Under certain circumstances it was possible to loose installed licenses
when running under 4D Server on Windows. Fixed.
What's new in QDrop 1.1.4
Bug fixes:
- Worked around a conflict with AreaList Pro's drag and drop mechanism. Win only.
- The product name returned by the QD_GetVersion command now shows
whether the plugin is Carbon-based or not. For example, the Carbon
version of the plug-in will return "[plug-in name] [version] Carbon",
and the corresponding PPC version will return "[plug-in name] [version]
PPC". Mac only.
- On some localized systems (Russian, Japanese) 4D would present a
syntax error dialog during plug-in initialization and the plug-in would
fail to display the license registration dialogs. Fixed. Mac/Win.
- If 4D Client attempted to call a plug-in command when no license
seats were available on the server, the plug-in would block program
execution instead of faling back into demo mode. This is now fixed; the
plug-in will run in demo mode as expected. Mac/Win.
What's new in QDrop 1.1.3
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a potential crash during startup when running with 4D 6.7.x.
