This document contains the latest information about Dyalog APL Version 14.1.
This file is dyalog_readme.htm and is included in the help directory in the Dyalog installation.
This second issue of Version 14.1 includes all fixes that have been applied to 14.1 since it was released, and thus includes the latest .NET support files. There is no need to apply any patch with a date earlier than 2015-07-24 or revision number of 14.1.25328.
We will be issuing a third set of 14.1 installation images once the final testing of the non-Administrative install is complete.
Mac OS X version 10.11 ("El Capitan") includes a new security enhancement which means that certain directories, including /usr, are no longer writeable by any user, including root. From experience, it would also appear that any non-operating system files in these directories are removed as part of the upgrade.
This has no impact on Dyalog APL itself, but it has impacted R; the file /usr/bin/R no longer exists. As a consequence a new version of the rconnect workspace is included which checks for the R script in multiple locations.
Dyalog has also found that the operating system upgrade caused a problem between R and rscproxy; we strongly recommend ensuring that R is correctly configured to support rscproxy before attempting to use the rconnect workspace (a simple reinstall of rscproxy should suffice).
The Version 14.1 Release Notes should be read in conjunction with this file.
The latest documentation for 14.1 can be found at docs.dyalog.com/14.1 and the latest version of the online
help at help.dyalog.com/14.1.
Conga version 2.6 is included with Dyalog version 14.1. We have reorganised the location of the source of Conga within our code repository, and as a result the SVN revision number (the third part of the version number) has been reset. The code itself has not been changed; it is merely an administrative change.
SQAPL on Linux (excluding Dyalog for Raspberry Pi) requires unixODBC version 2.3.1. The necessary shared library files are included in the installation image and reside in $DYALOG/lib. These libraries are subject to the LGPL version 3, details of which appear in $DYALOG/Licences for third-party components.docx
Non-Windows version of Dyalog now open the trace windows on error, similar to the default behaviour on Windows. This is controlled by the TRACE_ON_ERROR environment variable in the mapl/dyalog scripts.
