PTSS 40081: SystemStringClass bug
PTSS 40034: global and local data alpha sorted Here are the changes from build 10241 (public beta 1):
FIX: #Suspend error when making a .DLL
The initial beta release could create an invalid setting in the ClarionProperties.xml file that would cause a #Suspend error and prevent making of .DLLs, due to a missing properties section of ClarionProperties.xml
The problem is fixed now in this release and that the section will get created properly, but to fix the _existing ClarionProperties.xml file you either have to:
Run ResetIDE.exe and choose option (4) - does not require re-entering your serial number, but clears IDE settings
- OR -
Open ClarionProperties.xml and manually edit/delete the section " <Type32 /> " (** if it doesn't exist then no action is needed)
- OR -
Manually delete the ClarionProperties.xml - - requires re-entering your serial number
in the "invalid" section within ClarionProperties.xml file this section gets created as:
<Type32 />
in a correct/valid ClarionProperties.xml file its created as:
<Properties name="Type32">
<signed value="long" />
<unsigned value="long" />
<handle value="long" />
<bool value="long" />
</Properties>

FIX: Too early call to thread's destructor could cause retrieving of incorrect thread structure
FEATURE: New REMOVE functionality; REMOVE(<filename>,<options>) statement with additional parameters to control removing of directories, processing of directories recursively, and showing progress and confirmation dialogs
CHANGE: Add EQUATE for the Vietnamese charset
CHANGE: If the compiler returns an exception, show the address of the compiler's entry point to better locate the GPF point
