What's new in REAL Studio 2011 R3?
From Xojo Documentation
Here's what's new:
- Better Localization Support - You can now retrieve at runtime the localized version of a string constant for any language.
- Better HTML5 GeoLocation Support - The WebDeviceLocation class now supports additional HTML5 geolocation features: Accuracy, Altitude, AltitudeAccuracy, Heading, Speed and TimeStamp.
- Easier CGI Deployment - When building a web app, the CGI has better file permissions to make it more likely they will be correct when the CGI is installed on the web server.
- Improved JSON Support - The JSON class has a new Lookup function similar to the one in the Dictionary class.
- OS X 10.7 Lion Support - Several improvements have been made for Lion including support for high-quality voices that are now used when using the Speak method.
- Faster, Better Web App Session Launching - Web apps have been optimized for faster session startup. Also App.LaunchMessageDelay has been added to allow the developer to determine when, if ever, the session launch page should be displayed.
We added 11 new features and fixed 73 bugs.
| Fixed |
| 7052 Some events in the Toolbar class that were not appropriate have been removed. |
| 12272 Linux IDE: the MenuBar editor no longer flickers visibly when hidden while the IDE is resized. |
| 13270 IDE: If a control has a width and height that makes it impossible to draw in the IDE, it will be replaced by a message that indicates this. However, the control will still work in the built application. |
| 14849 IDE: Breakpoint -> Clear All now works in web projects. |
| 15108 IDE: Button sizes in the Preferences window have been adjusted to accommodate longer strings. |
| 15131 IDE: Pressing Ctrl+P (or cmd+P on OS X) now only presents a print dialog for the frontmost project. |
| 15350 Linux: The GetTemporaryFolderItem function now creates a temporary file like it does on OS X and Windows. |
| 15585 Windows: FolderItem.URLPath now encodes non-ASCII characters properly. |

| 17595 Compiler: No longer asserts under a very specific set of circumstances when testing for ambiguous methods. |
| 17639 Web: Web toolbar items reload their captions properly (especially noticable when the caption contained non-ASCII characters). |

| 17286 IDE: Pressing Cancel when the IDE has found unsaved changes no longer quits the IDE. |

| 17718 JSONItem now has a Lookup function like the Dictionary class. |
