Analytica 5.0 beta Release Notes/Changes in 5.0.13
This page lists changes in beta build 5.0.13 since build 5.0.12.
Copy/Paste
- Added ability to copy/paste an image from a result table cell to a diagram or to an external application.
- A copied alias node now appears near the location of the original alias node, rather than near the location of the alias's original node.
Evaluation
- The error "operator + used for text concatenation" should be a hard error, and not a warning, when multithreaded evaluation is on. In one case it displayed as a warning.
- A method for temporarily turning off incremental change logging for maintenance recovery during an evaluation, namely:
WhatIf( «something», AutoSaveMode, 0). Don't try this in earlier builds, it'll discard all previously logged changes! This is a highly esoteric thing to do, and can be a bit dangerous. A situation where it was found to be useful was where images on a diagram were being interactively drawn to display information, causing large image dumps to be logged to the change log every time, whereas there was no reason you'd ever need to recover those images. Performance was improved by suppressing the change logging before swapping the image.
Functions
- Added
'EEE'as at option for DatePart. - Added option to MultiChoice to return a non-list when only one item is selected.
- Optional parameter added to ChangeNodeVisibility to specify that the change applies to the user inputs or outputs of the indicated object.
- ArcCosH, ArcSinH and ArcTanH were missing from the Definition menu.
- CloneObjects was listed in EA popup when editing a Definition. If should not have been.
- Added a syslib
Distribution / Special probabilistic functionsto hold functions like Random, Shuffle, SobolSequence, SipEncode and SipDecode. These were too prominent previously. - Function finder for Choice now opens to the syslib
User interface functions, which also includes MultiChoice. It had been opening to a different syslib, where it is also listed. - Made a broad terminology change from "linked modules" to "filed modules". It is a textual change seen on some UI elements, dialogs and error messages. The two terms appeared previously in different places, so we've tried to remove the inconsistency and standardize on "filed modules" and "filed libraries".
- The Find option (for Find objects) is now enabled while a result window graph is in focus. (Previously it had been disabled while viewing a graph).
- The expr menu now shows Choice as being selected (instead of Other...) for a MultiChoice definition.
Icons
- New icon for open/close attribute pane.
- New icons for Graph/Table view in result window.
- Add Module... message box now has an icon on its title bar.
- New Checkbox icon on the expr menu.
