Release Notes

Following the release of the OpenEdge 11.7 Release we have completed our testing of the SmartComponent Library on this release of Progress and are proud to announce formal support for the SmartComponent Library on OpenEdge 11.7 with the 2017-04-24 release of the SmartComponent Library. Generally we recommend customers on OpenEdge 11 to upgrade to OpenEdge 11.7 quickly. Starting the 2017-07-14 release we are supporting OpenEdge 11.7 Service Pack 1 (11.7.1).

Starting the 2015-10-09 release the Business Entity Designer will feature a start page with links to most recent release note articles on this site.

With SCL-751 we have adopted native Enums for OpenEdge 11.6. To activate this feature customers must add a definition to products.i. SCL-751 provides details for this.

With SCL-1113 we have modified the templates for SmartWindowForms and SmartTabFolderPages generated from the Business Entity Designer. We have removed the initialization of the viewer controls SmartTableIOState property (value was set to "NoDataSource" within the InitializeComponent method). Customers using their own set of templates should adopt the same fix to their templates.

New Versions of Proparse .NET Assemblies (30 December 2018)

We have updated proparse with further enhancements in this release (see https://github.com/consultingwerk/proparse/releases/tag/4.0.1.1177). Please download the .NET Assemblies ZIP file from our ESD and replace the proparse.net.dll in your environment with the latest one. The new assembly reference is:

As proparse is used by our Business Entity Generator, this new version of the proparse.net Assembly is also relevant for customers not doing GUI for .NET development and require support for parsing new ABL language constructs.

This version of proparse provides additional debug information when errors are thrown from proparse.net.dll.

New Version of the Consultingwerk.SmartComponents Assemly (09 January 2019)

To support the new SmartFilterControl and the "Filter" link between the SmartFilterControl/SmartDynamciFilterControl and a SmartBusinessEntityAdapter or SmartDatasetChildAdapter we have updated the Consultingwerk.SmartComponents.dll. The new Assembly reference is:

<assembly name="Consultingwerk.SmartComponents, Version=2.2.0.49856, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=10603cb31df311b3"/>

Customers need to update this Assembly in order to compile the latest releases of the SmartComponent Library.

Hybrid Realm now using IAuthenticationService

We've updated the SmartHybridRealm class used for http authentication to leverage the IAuthenticationService. It is therefor required that for AppServers requiring http Authentication (e.g. REST or Web) the correct IAuthenticationService implementation is registered (using service.xml files).

Customers relying on the previous behavior should ensure that the Consultingwerk.SmartFramework.Authentication.AuthenticationService is regsitered as the IAuthenticationService. This implementation will auhtenticate users against the password stored in the SmartUser database table. 

When users with no Login Company set should be able to login using the SmartHybridRealm, it's required to set the Login Company Tennant Domain (similar to the field in the Login Company Maintenance) in the .restapplicationsettings / .applicationsettings, e.g.:

 "DefaultAuthenticationDomain": "consultingwerk" 

This is required as the Hydrid Realm Interface from Progress does not provide the domain name to the authentication method.

UTF-8 based deployments available

Starting August 14th 2016 we ship our source code also as UTF-8 encoded. The ZIP files ending with _utf8.zip contain the source code encoded with that code page. The source code in the remaining archives is still encoded in ISO8859-1. Also on Github there is a new branch containing the OpenEdge 11 based source code in UTF-8.

Overview of included tickets

Bug

SCL-4342 Resolved exception in SetSize method of ComplexInput...ToFromControls

Description:

We have fixed an issue which might resolved in an Exception being thrown during the initialization of a complex input prompt with one of the ComplexInput...ToFromControl controls.

Improvement

SCL-4281 Implemented support for enum values in generated TableQuery classes

Description:

Temp-table fields that have a datatype of CHARACTER, INTEGER or INT64 and that have a custom field type (a field property named ModelClassGenerator.CustomPropertyType) will have query predicate classes generated by the Business Entity Designer’s TableQueryBuilderGeneratorPlugin plugin that allow the use of enumerations as values in table queries. A predicate class is generated per field.

These query predicates allow table queries to be constructed using enum values. These values can be specified as object references, CHARACTER values (ie labels), or INTEGER or INT64 values (enumeration value). These values are validated as being members of the enumeration type specified in the field property value. The OOABL types that are supported are either native ABL enums or classes that inherit Consultingwerk.Enum .

If CHARACTER, INTEGER or INT64 values are specified in the query predicate, the input values are validated against the actual enum members. Mapped character values (see https://consultingwerk.atlassian.net/browse/SCL-4287 ) may be used.

For example,

/* The OrderStatus field is a CHARACTER field, that has a custom field type of OrderStatusEnum */

define variable oQuery as OrderQuery no-undo.

oQuery = new OrderQuery().
oQuery:OrderStatus:Ne(OrderStatusEnum:Shipped).

/* The Partially Shipped value maps to the PartiallyShipped enum member*/
oQuery:OrderStatus:Ne("Partially Shipped").

message oQuery:ToQueryString(true).  // for each eOrder where eOrder.OrderStatus NE "Shipped" and eOrder.OrderStatus NE "PartiallyShipped"

/* 'Blue' is not a member of the order status, and will cause an exception to be thrown. */
oQuery:OrderStatus:Gt("Blue").

SCL-4299 Implemented support for QueryExpressionsWithSort for Business Entity count operations

Description:

When any QueryExpressionsWithSort values are provided to the CountResultRecords method as part of the Consultingwerk.OERA.ICountRecordsRequest parameter, the first item in the array is used to build the query for the count operation. Only the filter (“where”) expression is used to construct the query; any sort expressions are ignored.

SCL-4337 ValueListHelper:From... methods now support optional parameter to TRIM the values that are used for SUBSTITUTE

Description:

The ValueListHelper:From… methods now support an optional parameter that allows to specify if the values passed to the SUBSTITUTE function should be TRIMmed before.

The SmartComboEditor and the MetaComboBox provide a new property TrimValues that controls this behavior.

SCL-4340 Added search by Context using drop down of existing context's (started in SmartTagFormLogic) - to SmartTag maintenance form

Description:

We’ve added a filter based on existing tags to the SmartTag maintenance form.

SCL-4341 Added filter by SmartObject tags to Open Object Master Form

Description:

We’ve added a filter based on the SmartObject Master Tags to the Open Object Master Form.

SCL-4343 Moved admnhlp.i include to src/prodict

Description:

We have moved the admnhlp.i Include file of the Progress ADE source code to the src/prodict folder. Recently we had moved the include file ot the Consultingwerk\Studio\ProdictDumpHack folder - which was causing build issues when compiling other ADE launchers in environment with the modified version of the data dictionary dump routines have not been available in the PROPATH.

SCL-4344 ComplexInputDateToFromControl:AssignPropertyValue now uses the Value property instead of the Text property

Description:

To avoid issues caused by differencing data formats between the AVM and the .NEW runtime, the ComplexInputDateToFromControl:AssignPropertyValue method now sets the Value and no longer the Text property of the UltraDateTimeEditor.

SCL-4345 When replacing an instance in the object master designer, developer now has the option to modify the instance name as well

Description:

When an instance is replaced with an instance of another object master and the original instance had the same name of the original object master, the object master designer now prompts the developer if he wants to rename the instance to match the new object master name.

SCL-4346 Added more details to the Annotation builder status window

Description:

We have added more details or respectively increased the update frequency of the screen update for the annotation builder status window.

SCL-4348 Resolves Swagger issue caused by Dynamic Business Entity

Description:

We have resolved an issue when generating the Swagger documentation for a dynamic business entity with a Character field:
