Revision 15622 (Modified on 2024-05-02): Action opt out has been clarified in UI - and opt-out button is removed from viewmodelactions since it does not make sense there

April 2024

Revision 15620 (Modified on 2024-04-30): Issue with comparison between numbers and string , this is generally allowed in sql and so it was allowed in OCL-PS, and so we made it allowed in OCL - but it turned out that it was not accepted for > and < in runtime -> Fixed We now remove context menu on Comboboxes in WPF in order to stay consistent with Turnkey - a function that was not maintained and not used CrossRef has ref to self for admin reasons - this is now removed from UsedBy menu to avoid confusion If a DisplayLoop issue occurs - stemming from OCL issue - we now show the Ocl/OclSymbolImplementations.cs

Revision 15602 (Modified on 2024-04-24): In the ViewModelEditor as it grows Nesting lines are hard to follow - now a button will appear if the endpoint is out of screen - and the button will scroll you to the nesting - or back

Revision 15600 (Modified on 2024-04-23): SortOrder in combos for crosslinks
Revision 15599 (Modified on 2024-04-23): The CrossRefLinks in the AutoClass-Diagram was in a long list increasingly hard to read on growing models -> redesign to comboboxes
Revision 15597 (Modified on 2024-04-23): ViewModelEditor combo did not correctly adjust its name when switching to No-Category. Fixed.
Revision 15595 (Modified on 2024-04-22):
Revision 15594 (Modified on 2024-04-22): AutoDiagram Filter associations changed to Filter members, now filters all things on screen. AutoDiagram rendering had performance issues due to drawing during measuring - changed for the better

Revision 15574 (Modified on 2024-04-17): Changes to reduce time on of second and following error checks in modlr (track locally changed things, what they will effect, and only re-check effected ones)
Revision 15573 (Modified on 2024-04-17): Changes to reduce time on of second and following error checks in modlr (track locally changed things, what they will effect, and only re-check effected ones)
Revision 15572 (Modified on 2024-04-17): Changes to reduce time on of second and following error checks in modlr (track locally changed things, what they will effect, and only re-check effected ones)
Revision 15569 (Modified on 2024-04-16): DeadLock in Designer when errorcheck tried to look up ViewModelNames for Class.ViewModels variables

Revision 15564 (Modified on 2024-04-11): WPF issue of dragging from debugger to app had stopped working. Turned out to be a Yearlong issue that I now cleaned up by removing unnecessary parameters
Revision 15562 (Modified on 2024-04-10): ChecksumAttribute attribute added to eco.Interfaces - this is to speed up Codegen with checksum written to code checks Better CodeGenGoverningInfo that now can find codegen diffs regardless if you or someone else forgot to codgen
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
Revision 15468 (Modified on 2024-03-04): vCurrent_Root cannot be used on Mounted Viewmodels (since the type and object may differ) we now avoid to add it and warn if used on Mounted ViewModels
Revision 15467 (Modified on 2024-03-04): null check, adding Nesting.RendersAsList:bool method
Revision 15462 (Modified on 2024-03-01): Issue with Diagram AssociationEnd lables not following the setting of the diagram - showdefault,showdimmed etc - fixed
Revision 15461 (Modified on 2024-03-01): To increase the rename-ease and copy-easy of view models we now suggest you use the new vCurrent_Root variable instead of vCurrent_<ViewModelName> This will make a copied/renamed ViewModel stay correct without any changes
Revision 15460 (Modified on 2024-03-01): Seen occurencies when VS hangs on "file has changed" dialog box - rewriting and using other signaling instead of modal messagebox (yellow File has changed overlay in model and tree)

Revision 15423 (Modified on 2024-02-15): Before the evolve detected switch of attribute PMapper as reason for drop of column - I am now removing that - its common to change a pmapper on a attribute - specially in reversed scenarios StringAsChar and StringAsVarChar now converts non string types to strings to help with reversing of odd things in dbs Int32 and Int16 pmappers are extended to tolerate Int16 vs Int32 to help with crappy reversed databases

Revision 15382 (Modified on 2024-02-02): Before Copy of ModlrThings appended _Copy prior to putting in on the clipboard - that logic is now changed to LateUniqify, meaning that we decide any postfix after paste. This has several advantages and reduce the the labour involved in after-paste Copy-Paste will take the list of selected ViewModelVariables and not only the currrent
Revision 15381 (Modified on 2024-02-01): Bug in ViewModel subcolumns could cause modlr to hang due to never finished When checking Unused vars we cannot check the OnShowExpression from the calling ViewModel context since it depends on vars in the shown ViewModelContext
Revision 15380 (Modified on 2024-02-01): Build issues made me change to await ThreadHelper.JoinableTaskFactory.SwitchToMainThreadAsync(); for VS stuff
