Difference between revisions of "Analytica 6.0 beta Release notes/Changes in 6.0.4"

Revision as of 14:06, 3 June 2021

This page lists all changes in the beta build 6.0.4 that have occurred since the previous beta build 6.0.3.

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

Speed up the process of saving a model to a VPN drive. Previously it was very slow.

Engine

Set 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 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()

Graphing

Fixed a bug where OnGraphClick wasnot identifying a click inside a filled polygon.
Fixed a problem with Autoscale (zoom out) hover icons sometimes being off of the left edge, unreachable.

Clipboard

Fixed a bug where a Module could not be 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.

 *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()]]
-*Extended the [[Using_References|reference operator]] to allow for an unbound local index. The syntax is: \[.J]expr, where the local index might be created from within expr. This is similar to \[x.J]expr, except that you have no x to refer to when the local index is created from inside expr.
+==Graphing==
-*f-strings - change so that they use the default number format.
+*Fixed a bug where [[OnGraphClick]] wasnot identifying a click inside a filled polygon.
-*Fixed a bug with the [[FileSystemListing|FileSystemListing()]] function

 ==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.
-==Object window or atribute pan==
-*Added some code to allow nested curly braces for comments in some instances.

-== Clipboard ==
-* When copying table cells from a result table in one Analytica instance to an edit table in a different Analytica process, it now copies the actual image (and not just the text «Picture(PNG)»).
-* In some cases, when a [[ProbTable]] node was copied, the domain index was not also duplicated, causing the new node to use the previous node's index domain.

 *:We foresee this may be incorporated into some new <code>*.anaStyle</code> node style templates.
-== Object Window or Attribute Panel ==
-* When you select a node and view its Definition, it has historically selected the entire Definition initially (i.e., causing the entire Definition to start in reverse video). We changed this since we've observed it is rare that you want to replace the entire Definition, so instead it now just puts the caret within the definition.
-* Fixed a bug where, when entering a multi-line value into a list cell, the end of the list became invisible (clipped).

 * The property or method name that comes after the arrow in <code>comObj->method(...)</code> had been colored as undefined, is now black.
-== Built-in Functions ==
-* The [[Keelin]] distribution function wasn't working in the previous beta build.
-== Graphing ==
-* When the [[Att_ResultSliceState]] attribute has an error, the graph accessed via ADE didn't display correctly -- it ignored the graph setup.
-* Fixed a situation in which a change to the Common Index role didn't stick. The case occurred when the X-axis variable does not vary with the newly selected Common Index. The "smart pivot" heuristics excluded this as non-sensible and reset the common index.
