CA-Visual Objects 2.5a-1 Patch Released

Posted by: dimma01 on 03/08/00at 11:16 AM

The CA-Visual Objects 2.5a-1 patch has been released. It can
be downloaded from our ftp site,
ftp://ftp.cai.com/pub/vo/vo25a1.zip. Be sure to read the
vo25a1.rtf file inside the zip, as it contains important
patching information.

The items addressed include:

* Problems with seeking on numerical indices using the
DBFCDX driver.

* Problems with version control, including problems with
multiple applications under source code control and problems
with repeated "Make local" and "Add to Source Control"
operations.

* Round() function not working properly when specifying a
negative second argument (for rounding to whole digits).

* FOpen() ignoring the FO_EXCLUSIVE flag.

* Issues with Automation Servers and empty return strings.

* Issues with ActiveX event handlers using NULL BSTR
parameters.

* Dynamic sizing of the project atom table.

* Problems with Jasmine classes if CAStore is not installed
(from the Jasmine installation).

* Exception errors when an invalid text color or background
color is specified in the Window Editor.

* With the OLE Servers, added support for Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA) and improved TypeLib consistency.

Problems with the patch should be posted here in the Open
Forums.

Am I correct in thinking that the file versioninfo has not
been changed? (making it slightly hard to auto detect
unpatched files)
