I'm pleased to announce the first beta for XWorkplace v1.0.12.  

 

Beta 1 is available in five languages and two versions:  

- "Full", the standard full-featured build  

- "Lite", similar to eWorkplace and ArcaOS Desktop

Updates and Fixes  

_______________________________________________________________________  

 

XCenter AutoOpen:  

- XCenter will now open automatically at startup and after a Desktop  

 restart - an icon in the Startup folder is no longer needed. This  

 feature can be disabled in the XCenter's properties.  

 

Details view:  

- third-party WPS dlls built using the Open Watcom compiler could cause  

 the Size field in Details view to be misformatted. XWP now checks for  

 the error condition they cause and corrects it.  

 

Class List:  

- added descriptive entries for previously undocumented classes and  

 updated existing descriptions. [from Lewis Rosenthal]  

 

Trap log:  

- added a new section to identify which exception handler caught the  

 trap; updated other sections  

 

XStartup:  

- fixed trap at startup if XWP's list of Startup folders included  

 invalid objects  

 

XFolder:  

- simplified the "Worker" thread code; removed obsolete thread priority  

 setting from the XWP Setup notebook  

 

Xview:  

- revised the Options menu; added a "Compact" option for Details view  

- fixed an exception when files were rendered after a drop operation  

- improved error-checking and exception handling.  

 

Build system:  

- made several changes to reduce the shared-memory usage of XWP's dlls;  

 one of these also eliminated the need for translators to use a C  

 compiler to build NLS dlls  

- removed a misguided optimization which could cause third-party  

 XCenter widget dlls to be 8-10 times larger than needed  

- for XWP-Lite builds, suppressed Help file references to features  

 that are not included.
