MUIbase v1.8 Released
MUIbase-Version 1.8 is available immediately from http://www.muibase.de and it will also be on Aminet shortly.
New features in MUIbase since version 1.7 are:
- A new option in the "New Field/Field Modify" window allows changes in the field to be ignored so they are no longer counted as a change in the project.
- New option to sort alphabetically by trigger functions.
- New option, to sort tables and fields according to the sequence in the display list.
- The numbering of the commands GETVIRTUALLISTACTIVE and
SETVIRTUALLISTACTIVE have been changed to begin with 1, as opposed to 0. This is more consistent with the numbering of data statements and display lists, in which index 0 relates at the top of the list. Attention: this change functions under circumstantial incompatibilities with existing projects.
- Correction of false index lists in the user handbook.
- A few bug fixes.
