Release Notes

Release: 3.50.00

Release Notes and Shareware Notice

This file contains release notes for the software product identified above (SOFTWARE) and other useful information not included in other files.

There are two versions of the SOFTWARE: evaluation (UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE) and registered (REGISTERED SOFTWARE).

ATTENTION! THIS IS IMPORTANT!

The SOFTWARE is SHAREWARE, NOT FREE. You need to REGISTER your copy of the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE in order to be able to continue using it legally after the EVALUATION period.

REMEMBER! By registering SHAREWARE applications, you encourage their authors to continue to develop and enhance them and provide technical support.

For more information, refer to license.htm.

Why to Register

Final applications made with the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE display an advertisement window. When you play or publish with the REGISTERED SOFTWARE, you get rid of this window.

Also, the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE does not provide some features, which are present in the REGISTERED SOFTWARE.

When you register the SOFTWARE you will get:

No advertisement windows displayed by final applications.
Unlimited-time license to use the REGISTERED SOFTWARE.
Royalty-free license to distribute your applications created with the SOFTWARE. This includes applications created with the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE as well.
Ability to merge two or more application projects, which enables some kind of your visual code reuse.

The users of the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE have the rights to access technical support and other electronic services related to the SOFTWARE, but REGISTERED users are attended first (prior to UNREGISTERED users). Although these services are provided without warranties of any kind, we will be trying to keep them as much useful as possible to all of our customers.

What's New (in Comparison to Release 3.15.4)

Finally - main menu bar and popup menu support!
Finally - explicit Open Database Connectivity support!
Printing support in user applications.
Improved debug support.
Tab keys navigation support for controls in user applications.
Improved on-line reference and user guide (help).
To further improve our internal development processes, we now make use of the modern HTML Help instead of Windows Help help system.
New sample applications.
Redesigned from the ground up the flowchart drawing algorithm. This makes it slightly more consistent at our opinion and fixes all these long living nasty bugs in this module.
Some element types considered deprecated or obsolete have been replaced by newer versions and/or moved away from their original libraries to a special library: Deprecated Types.
Added some new element types, slightly changed the behavior of and fixed subtle problems with some other element types to make it easy implementing Windows user interface standards and guidelines.
To further take advantage of componentization support, some most specialized element types and object classes have been separated from the standard component and now constitute a number of add-on components.
New approach to UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE restrictions.
We now offer two separate licenses: the core license, which covers development environment along with standard components, menu support and deprecated element types, and the extensions license, which covers by now all other components. With each license there comes an individual Personal Activation Code.
New A-Flow startup/about screen.
New setup program based on Inno Setup.
Free and original graphics clipart.
