HN v4.3 Release Notes
« on: August 09, 2024, 08:45:47 AM »
HyperNext Studio v4.3 for Windows - Release Notes

This is a major release in preparation for developing HN for the Apple macOS and OS X.
Both these have major file system differences compared to the Microsoft Windows platform.

This release uses a new save/load system that can  still load files from pre HN v4.3 versions.
However, it only saves in the new format but unfortunately previous verson cannot read this format.
Therefore please ensure your projects are backed up before working on them with HN v4.3

Note,
Future versions will only be able to read projects from v4.3 and later.
This also applies to any HN Developer built plugins that will need to be recompiled.


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

1. Added a new cross platform Save/Load function.
   In preparation for future MacOS & OS X, Windows, Linux HN versions.

2. Added 6 array functions
   These greatly improve the speed and flexibility of array searches,
   including exact matches, sub matches, cases, ascending/descending:

   ArrayColumnFindOneFN, ArrayColumnFindAllFN
   ArrayRowFindOneFN, ArrayRowFindAllFN
   ArrayFindUniqueFN
   ArrayFindAllFN

   See the built-in Help for more details.
   There is also an Array project in the Creator Projects folder.

3. Resource libraries are much easier to use and their windows are larger:
   Images, Movie, Sound, Text
 
4. Editor colors can now change LHS panels.

5. Help colors can now change LHS panels.
 

====================================
BUG Fixes

1. Preferences: editor paper and text colors now show up and window improved.

2. Now when loading a project the card background color is fully respected.

3. Removed the buggy Menu Close Project option.

4. Compiling using Ctrl+K now correctly shows card controls.

5. Resource libraries fixed some bugs with duplicate and missing resources.

6. Creator Mode Switcher: removed the annoying click sound.
