concept 16 version 5.8.07

Version 5.8.07 is now available for download.
This version includes the following enhancements:

All components

• Windows 2000
  Starting with this release, the Windows 2000 operating system is no longer supported.

conzept 16-Server

• Logging users out of a database using the script utility
  The new command down of the script utility logs out all users. This function is equivalent to “Log out all users” in the web administration. The server must have a password for this, which must also be specified when executing the command.

conzept 16-Designer

• Display of the database alias in the title bar
  The database alias can optionally be displayed in the title bar of open frame and print objects. This is helpful if more than one Designer instance is running and integrated mode is not enabled. This makes it easier to assign the design frames to the database. The option is activated via the Display database alias in window title checkbox in the settings. The option is not taken into account in integrated mode.
• Extensions in data record management
  The import of data records has been expanded so that you can now specify how imported data records should be handled. During export, the currently set filter is now taken into account so that only the displayed data records are exported. Furthermore, data record management has been adapted for the use of tables with 64-bit data record IDs.

Processing

Commands for external file operations

• Extension of the functions FsiFileInfo() and FsiFileProcess()
  The new constants _FsiFileSHA1, _FsiFileSHA256, _FsiFileSHA384 and _FsiFileSHA512 can now be specified for the above functions to calculate the SHA hash of the specified file.
• FsiFileCompress() und FsiFileUncompress()
  Compressing and decompressing files.

Command for controlling the debugger

• Extension of the function DbgControl()
  The _DbgFrameOpenOn option can be used to log calls to dialog commands in the debugger. By activating this function, you can quickly see which dialogs are opened procedurally and where the calls are located in the source code. Logging can be turned off again with _DbgFrameOpenOff.

Commands for processing PDF documents

• New features PdfAttachInfoGet(), PdfAttachExportFile() and PdfAttachExportMem()
  The new commands allow information from attachments in a PDF document to be determined and exported.

Commands for processing jobs

• Extension of the JobControl() function
  The new option _JobEventReceiver can be used to specify a frame descriptor that is used to process the EvtJob event.

WebNavigator object

• Prevent drag & drop of files
  By default, files can be dragged and dropped into the WebNavigator object and their contents displayed. This can be prevented using the wpDropFiles property.

PrintDevice object

• The ppOrientation property can now also be set for the PrintDevice object (PrtDeviceOpen()). This is taken into account when printing the contents of a CtxDocEdit object using the WinDocPrint() function. When printing using the PrtJobClose() function, the page orientation is still taken from the PrintDoc object.

HTTP object

• Extension Proxy Authentication
  In addition to basic authentication, this version also supports the NTLM (NT LAN Manager) method. The new property spProxyAuthType is used to specify the authentication method (_HttpProxyAuthTypeBasic / _HttpProxyAuthTypeNTLM) to be used.

Theme object

• Starting with this version, the most frequently used interface objects support the modern theme style. In addition, the ToolbarButton, Group, GroupTile, and NotebookPage objects can be displayed with a color gradient.

In addition to these enhancements, bug fixes have also been implemented. An overview of the corrections can be found in the error document.
