Pierre, hope you are feeling better & hard at work on the next release. Do you have an approximate release date so  I can stop bothering you about it? I could create a reminder in IQ calendar.:-)

Truly sorry to hear you are still under the weather. Still do you have an approx ETA for pre-release 8?

 Jan,
Perhaps Pierre could recover faster (which we all hope for) if you didn't keep bugging him about the next release, especially given your declaration of putting InfoQube on the "back brurner".

John, I hardly think that's the case since -- throughout his sickness -- Pierre has been on line daily here & other forums but I take your point & your hint so I'll bow out;.

Truth be told, this week, all I had the energy to do was answer a few questions here and there. No concentration whatsoever. I'd read a dozen pages of Millenium and fall asleep.
 
I'm feeling better today, but must catch up on many personal tasks. Real back-to-work will be on monday.

In the event that the saying misery loves company is true - I too have been fighting a virus the last couple of days.  Sucks the energy right out of you.  Hope we all shake this off soon!

Version 0.9.24 prerelease 8 is now available (finally!) Sorry for the delay.
 
Some code refactoring was made so new bugs may have been introduced
 
Hopefully, I'll be able to resume with more frequent updates, as I have in the past!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......    Thanks, Pierre.
 
What's the functionality of the calendar now?  Didn't see much of a note on that  in release notes.

Lots of small issues, but no big new features. And unfortunately, I did not track all changes done (mostly what users have reported in the last 2 months)
 
Off the top of my head:
  • Use default browser when clicking hyperlinks in the HTML pane (in browse mode)
  • Status bar displays Hyperlink  when hovering over a grid hyperlink
  • DateFilter toolbar: Add AND logical operator: Now support Field1 AND Field2
  • File > New message: incorrect message that file already exists
  • Grid font size increase/decrease button problem
  • EmailDate field was incorrectly created as type Text
  • Field properties Options box was not wordwrap
  • Ctrl-C in the properties pane did not copy the field value to the clipboard
  • Parent hierarchy level display (1,2,3, etc) in the properties pane is now saved

So, to be clear, I will now have FF (default) in browser when / if I click link in HTML window? [quote]
  • Hyperlink display on mouse move[/quote]
Is this down in the status bar? Otherwise I don't see it. :-([quote]
  • DateFilter toolbar: Add AND logical operator[/quote]
I don't see this either. Must be looking in wrong place because I know we discussed this.[quote]
  • File > New message[/quote]
Don't understand this one.... what is it?[quote]
  • Grid font size increase/decrease button problem
  • EmailDate field was incorrectly created as type Text
  • Field properties Options box was not wordwrap
  • Ctrl-C in the properties pane did not copy the field value to the clipboard[/quote]
This  works here

>Use default browser when clicking links in the HTML pane
 
Right click on HTML pane link, click "open in new window", should open in external browser (default one... Works here...) 
 
 
 
>Hyperlink display on mouse move
 
Not the html pane hyperlinks but the grid ones.
 
 
> DateFilter toolbar: Add AND logical operator
 
that means that you can add AND + another field name in the text entry box where fields can be selected.
 
 
>File > New message
 
There was a problem with the message displayed in a pop-up window when creating a new database. That's fixed.

Don't think it's working here...tried it on field link not external file

If I hover the mouse on top of a grid hyperlink, link appears at the bottom (status bar) of IQ.

Text is truncated (text entry box is small), but what I wrote there is : ItemCreated AND itemModified. Don't know if that's what Pierre is referring to, but it seems like it.

Pierre, Thanks for addressing my question w new functionality but you'll have to forgive me.  Is the improvement as Armando displayed it? If so, how is this different than DateCreated, DateModified? And finally, how does this  address > ?  Sorry if I'm being really thick here.

I've now read the article but I think before you go to any more trouble, I need to play around with the Date Filter menu, etc. Hopefully I'll get a better grasp of how it works exactly. Right now I think I sort of get it but it's trial & error for me. I'll get back to you on your offer after that.  :-)

It's great to have a new version to play with.  Thanks for mentioning "code refactoring".  I didn't know what it meant, but after reading the wikipedia article on it, it sounds like a daunting task!
Can cleaner code help performance?  (Not that I have any major performance issues, but just curious).

Yes, performance (both real and subjective) is definitely one aspect of it. Robustness and better error management is another

Hi Pierre, great to see another pre release. I check back periodically and was hoping InfoQube hadn't ended up in development hell! :)
