PTSS 42218: DFD does not work with SQLite
PTSS 42220: ODBC File driver bug causes crash
REGRESSION from build 11900: The ODBC driver would corrupt memory if you used the TURBOSQL switch, had a DECIMAL field in the file structure and the first SELECT statement issued against this field returned a DECIMAL with higher precision than defined in the Clarion field definition

Warning: This release has serious issues with ODBC access to databases. You probably want to skip it and wait for next build.

Thanks, I have updated the title. Great idea to add comments here. Perhaps we can include a poll on significant releases sometimes to see how it is working for others.

Hi Brahn, I’m new to Clarion please excuse. Regarding:
FEATURE: H5: Global Prompt to override the Message procedure used to create the WEB Messages. Global Web Extension - Advance - Web Message Procedure NOTE: The procedure must comply with the needed prototype.
What is the needed prototype and where would I find documentation on this feature?

Hi @Nicolaas
I don’t really know anything about H5. It is only in the Enterprise Edition of Clarion and I have the Professional Edition. Sorry!
Maybe someone else here know and can help out though.
