Release Notes

VP 0.2.3 Beta

New Features

F* Button

Works like the F (Fetch Layer) button except that it fetches all layers.

Additional Fault Tolerance

Although I try to be very careful and transmit commands to the Kurzweil only as fast as it can process them, occasionally the Kurzweil drops some of the commands. New code instruments a feature in which VP detects this situation and re-transmits the appropriate commands.

LOPTS Indication

LOPTS button flashes when right-clicking on a field when no LOPTS is available for that field. (That is, you might want to click it and generate the LOPTS for that field.)

Bug Fixes

BUG FIXED: Pan ctrl (Pan keyword) is misrecognized

OS:Win Kurz:K2600

The Pan keyword is misrecognized in some places and erroneously listed as the Pan ctrl.

Fixed in 0.2.3 Beta: "Pan" is no longer erroneously identified.

BUG FIXED: Page list selection does not honor Layer/Zone selection

OS:Win Kurz:K2600

Page list selection does not use the currently selected Layer/Zone (right side buttons) that is being viewed

Fixed in 0.2.3 Beta: Works now.

BUG FIXED: Object Rename should also update the name cached in VP during an edit

OS:Win Kurz:K2600

Object Rename should also update the Name cached in VP during an edit.

Fixed in 0.2.3 Beta: Name now updates properly.

CANNOT REPRODUCE: Last object name in ProgramMode (probably Setup mode also) does not update properly

OS:Win Kurz:K2600

Last object name in ProgramMode (probably Setup mode also) does not update properly. Don't know when this happens; possibly all of the time, possibly when a new object is created.

Cannot reproduce: This might be a version (or confused with) the BUG reported above.

BUG FIXED: Ctrl List did not clear between L/Z changes

OS:Win Kurz:K2600

Caused some ctrls to be erroneously reported.

Fixed in 0.2.3 Beta: Now clears properly.

BUG FIXED: Misc Ctrl list special cases

OS:Win Kurz:K2600

Caused some ctrls to be erroneously reported.

Fixed in 0.2.3 Beta: These cases have been corrected.
