HN v4.22 Release Notes

This is mainly a maintenance release that fixes some urgent bugs

This version is only for Microsoft Windows and is a 32 bit build.
It is has been tested on Windows 10, 7 and XP, and should run on both x32 & x64 versions.

 
======================================================
Bug Fixes

1. PropWindow:
     Controls refresh bug when changing card size using Toolbar Properties
      - the objects/controls on the card could vanish

2. HyperNext hard error did not exit gracefully:
     If a hard error (exception) occured then the message dialog box was repeatedly called
     and the only solution was to use Windows Task Manager to kill it.

3. ToolBar Properties:
    card listbox - disabled sorting
     for all 3 columns as it became jumbled

4. Image Library better error trapping:
     - drop .png internal error: now fixed
     - if copied the exact same file then actually deleted it: now fixed

5. Sound Library better error trapping:
     - if copied the exact same file then actually deleted it: now fixed



======================================================
Improvements

1. Tidied up Creator keyboard shortcuts:
     so less need to use the Mode Switcher buttons
    - Ctrl D for Mode Design
    - Ctrl T for Mode Preview

2. Sound Library now accepts .wav sounds

3. Guide Help improved

Hello all,

I've recently made a playlist on YouTube for a series of HyperNext tutorial videos.

They can be found here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs5BEulBg8XrI_x4lyOQyDnqOTGjdk65Y

Please not that the first video didn't show well on mobile phones so the screen size was reduced for all later ones.

If you have any suggestions for future content please leave a message below.

Its Xmas now so the playlist won't fill out for a few weeks.

All the best,
Malcolm

HN v4.2 Release Notes

This version is only for Microsoft Windows and is a 32 bit build.
It is has been tested on Windows 10, 7 and XP, and should run on both x32 & x64 versions.

 
 ======================================================
Improvements and Bug Fixes

This has been built with a more modern compiler so runs much better on Windows 10 and 7.

All the included example projects have been checked and most are working well
 - see Release Notes.

The documentation in the inbuilt help guide has some improvements.


(1) Improvements

* Portable as now no installer
   - simply unzip to your desktop or wherever.
   - now makes no changes to Windows Registry.

* Developed and built with a newer compiler
   - please note, this required 100s of changes and their testing
     so there are likely to be some bugs remaining!

* All install folders now stored in the unzipped HyperNext Studio folder
   - help PDFs, example projects, resources, templates etc.

* Preferences are stored in the Apps / Roaming folder
   for future compatibility.

* You can still create and save your project anywhere.

*  Creator GUI toolbar height increased for easier viewing.

* Creator built-in help updated.

* all example projects no longer use PICT images, now use png, jpg etc
    using PICTs meant Apple Quicktime had to be installed in Windows platform.


(2) Bug Fixes

* No 30+ second startup delay on Creator etc or User's app.

* Single field borders now work fully on separate cards.

* Field attributes now independent on separate cards.

* Creator Help Window now in front of Designer Window.

* Control objects in Designer earlier could randomly go to invisible.
