NeoBook 5.5.2 Update Released!

Post by Neosoft Support »

NeoSoft Corp. has released NeoBook version 5.5.2. Registered users of previous versions of NeoBook 5 can download a free update patch for version 5.5.2 from the following web site:

www.neosoftware.com/patch.html

Follow the instructions to download and apply the update patch.

This update contains the following:

Enhancements

-Added a global variable called [DecimalSymbol] that can be used to change the character separating the integer part and the fractional part of a number. The default value is determined by the settings in the Windows Control Panel. Changing this variable only affects the current publication. It has no effect on Windows or other running applications. Plug-ins are also not affected unless they have been specifically designed to check for changes to this variable.

-Added two global variables called [PubLeft] and [PubTop] that contain the position of the upper left corner of the interior of the publication window (the client area) in screen coordinates. These values can be added to the coordinates of an object to determine its absolute position relative to the entire screen.

-Added an option to the debugger’s variable list that makes it easier to edit multi-line variables.

-Added options to the Plug-In SDK’s nbInterface function that allow developers to call NeoBook’s File Selector and Advanced File Options dialogs.

Fixes

-Corrected a problem that prevented compiled publications containing embedded fonts from loading correctly on multi-user PCs with limited access rights.

-Fixed a problem with the InternetPost action that caused the publication stop responding to input after receiving data from the server.

-Fixed a problem that could cause menu titles to be mysteriously moved in the Menu Designer (Book Properties) under certain conditions.

-Corrected an issue that prevented publications running in full screen mode from being closed by the CloseApp action.

-The Math action’s Trunc and other functions can now be used with extremely large numbers.

-The ImageWindow and TextWindow actions can now be used with file names containing the "[" and "]" characters. Although it is recommended that these characters not be used in file names if possible.

-The Auto-Size option now works correctly with Radio Buttons and Check Boxes with variables in their captions.

-Corrected a problem with the SetObjectFont action that prevented it from being used to modify Simple Text objects containing variables.

-Fixed a problem that prevented the ClearVariables action from deleting variables created with DefineVar under certain conditions.

-And several other minor fixes.

Great! Thanks for the update.
-Added options to the Plug-In SDK’s nbInterface function that allow developers to call NeoBook’s File Selector and Advanced File Options dialogs.
The download of the SDK still show version from 19.6.06
Will there be a update which contains the new options?
