A new Clarion.NET build

Published 2008-02-18    Printer-friendly version

Build 2957 has gone out to beta participants. This is a pretty big release, since it contains some significant language changes as well as the first fully functional dictionary editor. Specific features include:

• Fully enabled dictionary editor - insert, delete, change, update all items
• No more auto-instantiation, and for the most part no more need to use & in declarations
• Zero based indexes
• := operator no longer used; instead, use the = operator
• Deep assignment operator added
• Optional parenthesis for NAMESPACE and USING
• USING alias support
• Generic classes can be used (but not yet declared)
• NEW can be used as a modifier to hide an inherited member

There are a ton of bug fixes and other changes. I'll have a closer look at some of the new stuff in an upcoming article.
