Summary
This section lists various changes and fixes which may affect your application. They have been made in 17.0 rather than in
DSS updates since they involve a change in behaviour.
-
Sharpplot has been updated on all platforms; it is now version 3.61.
-
On non-Windows platforms the samples directory has been renamed to Samples to make consistent with Windows installations.
-
The Syncfusion libraries have been updated to 16.1.0.37. These have also been updated on my.dyalog.com, along with the samples binaries.
-
A number of the (fixed-size) bitmaps which appear in dyalog.exe have now been removed; in their place imagelists of bitmaps of varying
sizes have been added. This may mean that your code which refers to bitmaps held within the interpreter executable will need to be changed.
-
The position of the error-caret has been altered so as to more accurately highlight the error. Additionally, 8092: ⎕DMX now includes the
name of the missing value for VALUE ERRORs.
-
It is now not possible to set VSCROLL and HSCROLL to values other than ¯3, ¯2, ¯1 or 0. Attempting to use other values results in a DOMAIN ERROR.
-
⎕FIX errors in status window have changed number (not text) to fit in better with ⎕DMX messages.
