• Revision 15541 (Modified on 2024-04-03): Problem when executing ViewModelAction connected to Button: The turnkey client sends the ViewModelClassName where the Button is placed - but there is no limitation to not place the viewmodel action on any level, and the button on any other level The server first looks in the send ViewModelClass, but now looks in other ViewModelClasses if not found before giving up

March 2024

• Revision 15530 (Modified on 2024-03-28): null checks
• 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 15520 (Modified on 2024-03-26): Changing "Excel clip to M1" to "Text clip to M1"
• Revision 15519 (Modified on 2024-03-26): Now CreateTuple allows for values of parts to be given in array Updates to Debugger "Excel clip to M1" now can take multiple columns and will create tuple, also allows copy from from SQLServer-manager or any text source
• Revision 15518 (Modified on 2024-03-25): in angular binding you cannot have stringformat - and we applied it and thus broke the binding
• Revision 15514 (Modified on 2024-03-24): Fix of previous check-in: Changed new feature of min-height/width so that setting the ViewModel's column width or row height of <= 1 signals that no min-height/width style tag should be generated.
• Revision 15513 (Modified on 2024-03-24): Changed new feature of min-height/width so that col or row -width of 0 signals that no min-height/width should be set.
• Revision 15511 (Modified on 2024-03-22): Fixed bug that suppressing incorrect unzipping CRC errors left unzipped files open. Prevented local core servers from running.
• Revision 15504 (Modified on 2024-03-22): Work in progress AutoBlazor
• 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 15499 (Modified on 2024-03-20): _Label subcolumn was not implemented for buttons in grids - fixed
• Revision 15492 (Modified on 2024-03-17): Webassembly work in progress
• Revision 15490 (Modified on 2024-03-14): Issue with ReadOnlyMode - ReverseDerived where reported as non persistent and thus made writable - this is now fixed and also the TV WillEffectPersistedDataOverrideValue is checked for Reversederived
• Revision 15489 (Modified on 2024-03-13): New settings in MDrivenServerOverride ExternalAssetsTK helps with EXT_component dev Check that we dont init ReadOnlyMode while in sync
• Revision 15486 (Modified on 2024-03-11): Adding IProperty TryGetName(string name) to IPropertyCollection to make checking if property exists easier. Extending turnkey SysOpenAI support : adding Temperature so that it can be controlled via model
• 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 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 15479 (Modified on 2024-03-08): Improved error message if there is an exception in class method
• Revision 15478 (Modified on 2024-03-07): Changed so that virtual path in .net core return empty string, making URLs relative and using basepath in web page
• Revision 15475 (Modified on 2024-03-06): Improving table rows selection.
• Revision 15472 (Modified on 2024-03-05): REVERTED non-working feature: Complex issue with vSelected in Turnkey - when you have not checked the SelectedBox - you still want the vCurrent to be part of the vSelected - but then you want it removed from vSelected if the only reason for being in vSelected was that it was vCurrent
• Revision 15471 (Modified on 2024-03-05): Model upload rewritten to become async to avoid UI lock for large models
• Revision 15467 (Modified on 2024-03-04): null check, adding Nesting.RendersAsList:bool method
• Revision 15464 (Modified on 2024-03-03): Fixed bug: External login provider name change caused user creation failure. Two different ways to look up external login records in database, made login middleware fail.
• Revision 15463 (Modified on 2024-03-01): Complex issue with vSelected in Turnkey - when you have not checked the SelectedBox - you still want the vCurrent to be part of the vSelected - but then you want it removed from vSelected if the only reason for being in vSelected was that it was vCurrent
• 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

February 2024

• Revision 15456 (Modified on 2024-02-29): Better error message on failed report
• Revision 15448 (Modified on 2024-02-27): OclEditor did not correctly provide help on selfVM members due to confusion with ordinary simple types
• Revision 15446 (Modified on 2024-02-27): Inconsistency in linkobjects: when one inner link was null we used to throw and fail on assert - but we should treat it as any normal inconsistency that can be discovered and cleaned by MDrivenServer
• Revision 15444 (Modified on 2024-02-26): Fixed problem with deep direct links lacking full redirection URL. Added URL encoding to redirect URL.
• Revision 15442 (Modified on 2024-02-26): selfVM variable lost in debugger after reload model; Fixed issue MDrivenServer/Admin/Data validation now creates correct EAL scripts for fixing key issues with ocl debugger - so that history db integrity is maintained
• Revision 15441 (Modified on 2024-02-26): Auto-Inconsistency-Cleaning, Extending Cache mechanism: Dealing with data inconsistencies that arise when 2 systems act simultaneously - one system linking A-B together (embedded link in B) and other system not yet knowing of B deletes A, first system saves without knowing about deletion of A 1. This is discovered when third system reads the B that now links to an nu-existing A, we ghost create an empty A but add it to the Ghost-list. 2. When this third system does a db-update for any reason we also check the Ghostlist and if it holds Ghost objects these are unlinked 3. The effect is that inconsistencies found are auto cleaned when other save operations occur - This strategy is not perfect (since inconsistencies may happen) but good since inconsistencies will eventually get cleaned. There is no active cleaning - but an active cleaning service will be added to MDrivenServer. - The alternative ; to trust referential integrity abilities of DB-brand is complex due to issues with ordering of updates and differences between brands, and will make evolve scripts more complex When load discovered foreign keys that does not have an object it is marked as ExistenceState Deleted, and added to this list On next save (if it happens) we can unlink this from everywhere void RememberGhostFKCreatedUntilNextSave(Locator locator); Used internally in Update - to unlink ghosts so that we get self cleaning of ghost keys List<Locator> GetAllGhostFKCreatedAndClearList();

• Revision 15437 (Modified on 2024-02-21): LeftMenuActions , for Grids in Web , only show if there is a selected object in the grid
• Revision 15436 (Modified on 2024-02-21): In WPF when a Popup is shown , and that popup executes an AreYouSure question prior to action - the click in the areyousure could initiate popupclose so that vCurrent vars where destroyed prior to action execution - fixed

We are now changing to give decimal.MaxValue (very big number) on division by zero
• Revision 15424 (Modified on 2024-02-15): More matching types when reversing postgresql Better matching of SQLServerTypes
• 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
