August 4th, 2011· The following bugs have been specifically addressed. Remember: Bugs that have an “R-number” are written in the ‘negative’ form, as though the bug still exists. All of these bugs have been fixed.
· R7186: The Trim command now leaves a reasonable margin when trimming page rectangle
· All of the Helix programs are now delivered in simple disk image (.dmg) format. Just open (or ‘mount’) the disk image, agree to the licensing terms, and then drag the Helix application (and utilities) to your Applications folder.
This change addresses these three reports:
· R6958: Enablement Key not Retained
· R6962: Installer messes up Application folder permissions
· R6966: Incorrect permissions on “Helix” folder installed into “Applications”
· Note that this new installer does not remove older versions of Helix in the “Helix” folder within your “Applications” folder. You can delete that folder if you do not need the older versions anymore.
July 28th, 2010· Entering a single word (with no word separators) longer than 255 characters would cause Helix to crash. This has been fixed.
· Deleting a record containing an index entry longer than 255 characters could cause Helix to crash. This has been fixed.
· After selecting some records on a selectable list and opening the attached entry view, deleting a record should result in the next record (in the selection order) being shown. Instead the view was skipping over one and showing the next one beyond that. Continuing to delete repeats the pattern, deleting every other record. Eventually the entry view shows a clear form, but only every other record has been deleted.
· This is a very old Helix bug, which is finally fixed. Helix now correctly shows the next record after one has been deleted.
September 16th, 2009· Functionally equivalent to Helix RADE 6.1.3. It is provided to avoid confusion regarding which version is the current one. It is still a Classic application, but the bug fixes make working on collections (whether for use with the Mac OS X native Helix products or not) a more productive experience.
May 6th, 2009· Helix RADE Classic 6.1.3 is a bug fix release. Helix RADE 6.1.3 is still a Classic application, but the bug fixes make working on collections (whether for use with the Mac OS X native Helix products or not) a more productive experience.
· Helix RADE Classic 6.1.3 is a free update for owners of Helix RADE 6.1.x. Helix RADE 6.1.x serial number/enablement key combinations can be used with this release; Older enablement keys can not. Visit our web store or contact QSA ToolWorks for information on purchasing this upgrade.
· If you already own Helix RADE 6.1.x, upgrading is simple: just download Helix RADE 6.1.3 and install it using your Helix RADE 6.1.x serial number/enablement key. Then delete your older copy of Helix RADE 6.1.x.
Feature Enhancements:
· Clean Up command enhanced - A new option has been added to the Clean Up command, enabling it to gather all icons together in the visible part of the workspace. See the release notes for details.
· Static Enter available in User Editor - The Static Enter command can now be placed on User Mode menus.
User Editor enhancements - Two changes have been made to the User Editor:
· A 'lost feature' in the User menu editor was found and revived: Helix has always supported pressing Command-Tab to create a new empty menu bar item. But since the Command-Tab key command is used to switch applications in OS 9 and later, that key command is not passed through to Helix. The key command is now Command-Enter or Command-Return.
· The starter slot that is shown when creating a new menu in the User menu editor has been enlarged.
· User Mode bypass - When opening a collection, you can now go directly to Design Mode (bypassing User Mode) by holding down the Option key.
· Show Clipboard command key equivalent - The Show Clipboard command now has a Design Mode command key equivalent: CMD-K.
Bug Fixes:
· Editing label rectangle containing a picture could corrupt database
· A longstanding bug was discovered in Helix that could result in database corruption when editing a label rectangle containing a picture over 32K by double clicking the rectangle to access the settings dialog.
· Fixing the actual bug would take more time than we want to devote to Classic Helix now, so to avoid the bug, Helix now displays a dialog intructing you to use menu items to make the desired attribute changes. (You can also cut the picture from the rectangle, open the dialog, make the desired changed, close the dialog, and repaste the picture, if preferred.)
· Reports with over 32,766 records failed to display all records (BZ976)
· A bug that caused Helix RADE to fail to show all of the records in a report (list) when there were more than 32,766 records in the report is fixed.
· Option 1 post to cold form with defaulted field corrupts index (BZ900)
· A rare combination of circumstances, an indexed field with a default value on a cold form using Option 1 posting to change the field value from undefined to the default value, resulted in corruption to the index built on that field. This bug is fixed.
· Fixed Point posting trigger multiplied by 100 (BZ1034)
· A bug that caused conditional sequences to run 100 times the expected value when a fixed point value is used as the trigger count and that same value is posted to another relation and that same value is displayed on the view has been fixed.
· Eszett (ß) character (0xA7) is a word character in German
· When the keyword separator table was updated, the German eszett character was inadvertently left out of the word character list.
· Helix customers who use the eszett character in text stored in keyword fields need to rebuild all keyword indexes or keyword search results will be inaccurate.
· More information on keywords, along with a utility for managing HKWT resources, is found in this technote.
· Keyword Index progress dialog
· The Keyword Index progress dialog would sometimes fail to show the name of the keyword field for which the index was being built. This was fixed in Helix Server OS X 6.0, but the fix had never been applied to Helix RADE until now.
· Command key for Shade Defaults changed
· The Design Mode command key equivalent for Shade Defaults is changed to CMD-D to avoid the conflict with OS X’s use of CMD-OPT-D for Show/Hide Dock.
· Crash when Pressing Arrow Keys
· Opening a collection or relation window in View by Icon mode, clicking in the gray area of the icon well, and pressing an arrow key would cause a crash. This has been fixed.
· Likewise, pressing an arrow key in a window in View by Name or View by Kind mode in a window had no icons would cause a crash. This has also been fixed.
· Registration dialog issues (BZ904)
· The registration dialog would not allow the user to switch to another program, copy data, switch back and paste that new data into a field. This is fixed.
July 2nd, 2008· Helix RADE Classic 6.1.2 is a bug fix release.
· Helix RADE 6.1.2 is still a Classic application, but the bug fixes make working on collections (whether for use with the Mac OS X native Helix products or not) a more productive experience.
