September 2024

Revision 15969 (Modified on 2024-09-25): The FrameworkAction-option BackwardsNav has been added. In MVC, AngularJS and Blazor it nows asks the browser to go back in history 1 step. The primary use-case for this was the ability to put a "Resume" button on the Timedout page,

August 2024

Revision 15891 (Modified on 2024-08-28): Checksum change - when we read model from code we did not account for constructors, since they were not included in the introspection call - this would give a constant diff between code with model introduced constructors and the model read from ModelLayer. The 2 are now synced to ignore constructors for checksum.
Revision 15881 (Modified on 2024-08-23): fix
Revision 15877 (Modified on 2024-08-22): WPF issue that showed as some DataGrids did not show more than 2 rows - scrolling in a visible area much smaller that the grid itself. This is connected somehow to RowVirtualization - and was fixed by stting the internal ScrollViewer to CanContentScroll=false , its all a mystery...
Revision 15872 (Modified on 2024-08-20): Codegen could freeze - added extra await Dispatcher.Yield(); seems to have helped
Revision 15852 (Modified on 2024-08-14): Blazor fixes

Revision 15652 (Modified on 2024-05-13): ViewModels and Diagrams thumbnails were before rendered as VisualBrushes - this costs both time and memory. To help with large models we now save png files in sub dir _CachedImages (no need to checkin), these are then used as ImageBrushes to show thumbnails in diagrams and overview Location of models / _CachedImages
Revision 15647 (Modified on 2024-05-09): When a ViewModel is mounted in other viewModels it cannot use self in ReadOnly and Visible expression since the risk is that top level self will differ between mounter and mounted - we now detect this error

Revision 15595 (Modified on 2024-04-22):

Revision 15547 (Modified on 2024-04-04): The CloudForm "Changes" button has been improved. It starts with a quick Checksum check, then an optional view of the checksum diff, and thirdly the optional view of what changes that will be performed on DB

March 2024

Revision 15525 (Modified on 2024-03-27): ReadOnlyMode advanced: when an action that brings up a modal in itself does not change persistent data it would be enabled during ReadOnlyMode - but if the ExpressionAfterModelOK will change persistent data one could argue that the bringing-up of the modal is in vain - since the user will not be able to say ok. ReadOnlyMode now tries to deduce if ExpressionAfterModelOK effects persistent data and if so the bringing up action will also be disabled during readonlymode
Revision 15521 (Modified on 2024-03-26): Debugger seekers used sqllike instead of sqllikecaseinsensitive - fixed
Revision 15516 (Modified on 2024-03-25): Error on periodic - avoid if connected to abstractaction that DOES have enable expr
Revision 15515 (Modified on 2024-03-25): Null checks
Revision 15512 (Modified on 2024-03-23): Improved message for new warning about periodic actions.
Revision 15510 (Modified on 2024-03-22): Added Pair to the description so that it's less prone to misunderstanding
Revision 15509 (Modified on 2024-03-22): Problem with locked files after unzipping. Added exception handing to dispose zip files.
Revision 15502 (Modified on 2024-03-21): Better marking of PeriodicAction - also warning if PeriodicAction is left with blank Enable expression as this is considered an error
Revision 15501 (Modified on 2024-03-21): The ViewModelEditor now clearly shows any tagged values that are set on ViewModel,Nesting,ViewModelColumn or PLacingContainer - double-click leads to TaggedValue-editor Whenever you use a periodicAction we report an error if you have left the Enable expression empty
Revision 15500 (Modified on 2024-03-21): Important Placingcontainer min-height/min-width change: ViewModelColumn column Span and Row span now is shown even when column is in Placingcontainer If the PC Min-size is NOT set we will use the corresponding column/row-span * viewmodel.ColumWidth/RowHeight and use this as the min-size in the direction (width when PC is row, height when PC is column) Reasons: #1 column span did have effect in Turnkey already (grids max height was controlled by this), #2 span > 1 on textfields also turned textfields into multiline - it was hard to control this AFTER you turned the View to PC #3 The min-size is very pixel focused and using the column/row-span * viewmodel.ColumWidth/RowHeight will quantify the used min-size values in a better way Remaining issues: In WPF even textfields, combos, datepickers etc adhere to min-size, but in web the min-size is controlling the controls outer div - but css does not resize the native control the way one would expect
Revision 15485 (Modified on 2024-03-08): Better focusing of correct thing when clicking error in Model-errors, specially when you have conversion errors that makes further eval impossible
Revision 15484 (Modified on 2024-03-08): Slow destruction of modlr tree , improved I think
Revision 15483 (Modified on 2024-03-08): recent changes to EnsureCurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve broke CodeGen - fixed
Revision 15481 (Modified on 2024-03-08): HideOnDisable introduced on AbstractAction - this will be set automatically on trigger actions when added from statediagram - but is now also available on all actions When abstract action has error and shows in ViewModel error list - it now opens action editor when double clicked When error check has an error on a State it now opens the correct state diagram on click
Revision 15480 (Modified on 2024-03-08): Added the WPFViewModelExternalControls to Gaffr
Revision 15477 (Modified on 2024-03-07): Added loading of dependant assemblies from ModelCodeAssemblies
Revision 15471 (Modified on 2024-03-05): Model upload rewritten to become async to avoid UI lock for large models
