Latest revision as of 03:06, 26 June 2021

This page lists all changes in the beta build 6.0.5 that have occurred since the previous beta build 6.0.4.

Expression Assist

Fixed a bug where the Expression_Assist was not recognizing a previously typed local as a possible completion
Added functionality to the Expression assist. When a local variable has been declared with explicit indexes, then the Expression Assist will display these indexes when the local variable identifier is followed by a dot or an open subscript bracket.

Installer and Licensing

Fixed a problem where some free101 users were not receiving a welcome email.

Graphing

Fixed a bug with OnGraphDraw, GraphTitleExpr and OnGraphClick attributes in Pdf, Cdf and Exceedance graphs. The GraphingRole index was not recognizing the .Step index.
Added GraphFillerInfo='Title' to allow dynamic calculation of axis titles. See this page Using_a_computed_axis_title_in_a_graph for an example.

Tables

Fixed a problem with setting number formats for the .Probability index (in probability band result tables).

Object Window

Added a right click menu (to the left 1" of the object window) with a click list to show/hide attributes in the object window (for that object only). Separate from the attribute settings in the Object_menu.

Libraries

Added a new distribution Normal_p1_p2 to the Distribution Variations library that returns a Normal distribution given any two percentiles. For example,

-==Maintenance recovery==
-*When using a RAM drive or network drive, changed the Analytica crash recovery file to be saved in a local temp folder.
-==File Saving and Loading==
+==Installer and Licensing==
-*Speed up the process of saving a model to a VPN drive. Previously it was very slow.
+* Fixed a problem where some free101 users were not receiving a welcome email.
-==Engine==
-Set [[Attributes|Att_Templateinput and Att_TemplateOutput]] to always return a handle.
-==Diagram - Controls==
-*Added a boolean option (i.e., with checkbox to indicate the current state) to the right-mouse context menu for a button (and its alias), named: "Run at load time". This sets the [[Proactive_Evaluation|ProactivelyEvaluate]] attribute's bit field to 32 for the button.
-*Added "make alias" to the right mouse click menu for buttons.
-*Removed "Make user input" and Make user output" from the right click menu of a button alias. (They are not likely to be of any use. They were already not present for the original button node's right click menu).
-*Fixed a bug where undrawing an arrow was not removed properly from Min([X])
-==Functions (Built-in)==
-*Some sysfunctions were still using the deprecated Var..Do syntax in the description. Replaced this with Local..Do
-*Added functionality to test for local indexes with [[HasIndex|HasIndex()]]
 ==Graphing==
-*Fixed a bug where [[OnGraphClick]] wasnot identifying a click inside a filled polygon.
+* Fixed a bug with [[OnGraphDraw]], [[GraphTitleExpr]] and [[OnGraphClick]] attributes in [[Cdf_and_Pdf_Functions|Pdf]], [[Cdf_and_Pdf_Functions|Cdf]] and [[Cdf_and_Pdf_Functions#Exceedance|Exceedance]] graphs. The [[GraphingRole]] index was not recognizing the .Step index.
-*Fixed a problem with Autoscale (zoom out) hover icons sometimes being off of the left edge, unreachable.
+* Added GraphFillerInfo='Title' to allow dynamic calculation of axis titles. See this page [[Using_a_computed_axis_title_in_a_graph]] for an example.
-== Clipboard ==
-* Fixed a bug where a Module could not be [[Create_and_edit_nodes|duplicated]].
-==Object window or attribute pane==
-*Added the ability to allow hyperlinks (in descriptions, for example) to have an option that runs an expression (similar to an OnClick expression) when the hyperlink is clicked. With this you can hyperlink within the model, such as by opening result windows, diagrams, etc.
-*Fixed a minor bug where the wrong font showed in a definition when adding text to the beginning
-==Example models==
-*Added a new supply chain example model to the Business examples
-==Optimizer==
-*Refreshed Lumina's Frontline Optimizer license.
-==Installer ==
-* Added several new industry types, and an organization entry to the user pane on the installer for Free101 users.
-== ADE ==
-* First 5.4 beta release to include ADE. Fixed remaining issues with the ADE installer that was preventing release of ADE.
-== Diagrams ==
-* There is now a NodeBorderColor attribute, making it possible to alter the border color of nodes. You can set this on class objects to change the default border color for all nodes of that class.  There is not GUI for setting this attribute at this time -- you can only change it via the [[Typescript window]]. As an example, this typescript command changes module nodes to use a blue border:
-*::<code>NodeBorderColor Module: 0x0000FF</code>
-*:We foresee this may be incorporated into some new <code>*.anaStyle</code> node style templates.
-== File Saving and Loading ==
-* When you use <b>Add Module...</b> to add a Model to your model, it asks whether you want to import the system settings from the incoming model, or just keep your current settings. Previously this did not apply to custom node styles, which were always imported, but now are imported only when you choose to import the system settings from the incoming file.
-* Moving a linked module or linked library to a different module shouldn't dirty the linked module or linked library (the only changes are to the parent), so if that is all you did, it shouldn't try to save the linked library when you save your model. Moving the linked module/library no longer dirties the linked module/library.
-* A serious (but rare) situation occurred in which it became impossible to save changes. A index evaluation was necessary, but had an error, which caused the save to abort. The fix now successfully saves.
-* A change to (only) the button style (in <b>Diagram Style...</b>) previously did not dirty the model (so the Save option didn't enable).
-== Syntax Underlining ==
+==Tables==
-The new feature that underlines syntax errors in a definition occasionally gets it wrong, and underlines some less common but valid expressions. This continues to be worked on. In this build:
+* Fixed a problem with setting number formats for the .Probability index (in probability band result tables).
-* <code>Self[Time-1]</code> in a Dynamic was getting underlined.
-* Subscript syntax with a «defVal» was being underlined  (e.g., <code>x[i=2,defVal:z]</code>).
-== Syntax coloration ==
+==Object Window==
-* Sped up the between-keystrokes coloration processing.
+* Added a right click menu (to the left 1" of the [[Object_Window&anarelease=6.0|object window]]) with a click list to show/hide attributes in the object window (for that object only). Separate from the attribute settings in the [[Object_menu]].
-* Handles to class objects (e.g., <code>Handle(Module)</code>) previously used the syntax color for a user-defined object. Should have been system object color.
-* A local index identifier was given "undefined" syntax coloring.
-* The property or method name that comes after the arrow in <code>comObj->method(...)</code> had been colored as undefined, is now black.

+==Libraries==
+* Added a new distribution [[Normal_p1_p2]] to the [[Standard_libraries#Distribution_Variations|Distribution Variations]] library that returns a Normal distribution given any two percentiles. For example,
