- This file contains information regarding changes and
- additions that have been made since the last release
- of HTBasic.
-
-
- Enhancements:
-
-
- The WIN-PRINT driver now allows color printing. This may
- be turned on/off by checking/Unchecking the "Color Printing
- using WIN-PRINT Driver" box under the Options|Run Environment
- menu, or by using the CONFIGURE SYSTEM("WINPRINT COLOR ON")
- or CONFIGURE SYSTEM("WINPRINT COLOR OFF") statements. By
- default, when doing color printing using the WIN-PRINT
- driver, all white text will be inverted to black. If this
- is not desired, the add the INVERT option to the above
- statement. CONFIGURE SYSTEM("WINPRINT COLOR ON;INVERT")
-
- Comment and UnComment are now available from the right
- click context menu in the HTBasic for Windows Editor.
-
- Basic Plus Widgets may now be dumped to a GIF file using
- the GIF driver, after having enabled Basic Plus dumping by
- using either the CONFIGURE SYSTEM("DUMP;PLUS") statement, or
- by checking the Dump Plus checkbox under the Options|Run
- Environment menu.
-
- Custom baud rates for the serial driver may now be entered
- using the "CONTROL 9,13;baudrate" statement.
-
- Specifying array elements is now allowed in the Debug Watch
- Window. The array elements should be specified the same as
- they would be in a program. e.g. Intarray(3,2) Note: All
- declared elements of the array must be specified.
-
- Array elements may now be specified in the Conditional
- Breakpoints and Global Breakpoints dialogs. After selecting
- the appropriate variable from the dropdown list, specify
- the correct element using the following syntax: (2,3)
-
- The Numeric Compiler now allows file paths to be longer
- than 80 characters.
-
- Clicking on Ascii files with the .BAS extension will now
- launch HTBasic, and GET the program. Previously only HTBasic
- Prog files had this feature.
-
- Long Hex constants are now supported.
-
-
-
- Fixes:
-
-
- Deleting lines that contain breakpoints will now correctly
- remove the breakpoints and the lines. Previously this would
- sometimes cause HTBasic to close.
-
- Event Handlers are no longer disabled when using the Autosave
- feature.
-
- Dumping to a GIF file will now allow the BW and EXPANDED
- options to be used together, producing correct results.
-
- Combining Dump Graphics and Printing using PPA printers will
- now correctly print each page. Previously, after printing and
- doing a dump graphics using PPA printers, no more Printing or
- Dumping would correctly spool to the printer.
-
- A Pause character followed by a Step character using
- CHR$(255)&"P"&CHR$(255)&"S" will now correctly execute the
- pause followed by the step. Previously, this caused an error.
-
- The Numeric Compiler now supports the combination of LONGs
- and INTEGERs in numeric expressions.
-
- Doing a STORE AS or SAVE AS from the File menu now consistently
- checks for duplicate file names before performing the Store or
- Save Operation.
-
- Printing a program larger than 2 pages using File|Print
- Program now correctly prints the entire program. Previously
- it would print a couple of pages and then close.
-
- The GPIO600 and GPIO650 Drivers now correctly support the ON
- TIMEOUT statement.
-
- Print program now correctly calculates the number of lines
- being printed on each page, given a page size. Previously
- when selecting A4, or any other non-default page size,
- lines would not be correctly calculated, and sometimes
- printed off the page.
-
- Debugging through code that uses Loadsubs and Delsubs is
- now supported. Previously after debugging through the first
- Loadsub and Delsub, all subsequent Loadsubs would cause HTBasic
- to freeze.
-
- The Debugger code window's current line indicator now correctly
- updates after a Loadsub statement. Previously the current line
- indicator would remain on the loadsub statement, and a new
- current line indicator would be created.
-
- Continuous Signal Events from a DLL will no longer cause stack
- corruption.
-
- Japanese Kanji characters are now correctly supported when using
- the Label statement.
