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.
