conzept 16-Version 5.8.09

Version 5.8.09 is available for download as of today.
The version includes the following extensions:

All components

• New version of the PDF library
  The PDF library has been updated to version 4.0.13.35.
• Updating the OpenSSL library
  The OpenSSL library used has been updated to version 1.0.2n (December 7, 2017). This version contains error and security corrections.
• Collection of root certificates updated
  The collection of root certificates has been updated to the current version of Mozilla Firefox. However, this file will only be replaced if it has not been extended with your own root certificates since installation.

conzept 16-Installation routine

• The supplied runtime components can be extracted via the command line using the new switch /cpn_red=1 in action /cpn_action=extract. This means that the required runtime components can also be installed on other computers if the client is provided via a network drive.

conzept 16-Client

• The runtime component for Visual C++ 2015 is required to operate the client.
• Import update despite different data structure
  The OEM kit now also allows fields to be imported despite a different data structure. If a field with the field name already exists in the target database, the new field is inserted in the partial data record without a name.
• Creating minidump files
  The Standard and Advanced clients have been extended to include the option of logging exceptions in the application log (similar to the existing functionality in the Designer). In addition, minidump files are now also generated when an exception occurs. To activate the application log for execution in the client, the option “AppLogOptions” must be specified in the configuration file or as a command line argument with the value 4.

conzept 16-Designer

• New editor for procedures and texts
  The existing editor has been replaced by a new object. This supports the following functions, among others:Code folding
  zooming
  Marking of text occurrences
  Autocomplete list with type images
  Highlighting for XML and JSON documents

• Non-modal designer tools
  Open Designer tools (user, BLOb, data set and resource management) no longer lock the Designer. These tools can also be called up when starting the Advanced Client with the command line argument /C16DesignTool=<Tool>.
• Modern Theme Style
  The Designer (and Debugger) are displayed in the Modern Theme Style. In the settings, you can choose between the standard themes “OfficeBlue” and “OfficeDark”. New icons are also used. These are drawn in color by default. In the settings, the option “Color icons to match theme” can be used to define that all icons are displayed in a single color in the font color of the respective object.
