----------------------------------------------------------------------------

E.g.: \Program Files (x86)\nUtech\
NEW : Add "Open Project Folder" right-click menu option to the
Project List.
NEW : Add new "required" and "hidden" feature states to the "Set
Feature State..." script function to programmatically make a
Feature required or hidden.
NEW : [SB#8-10231] Add $SB_SILENTMODEFLAG$ flag to the "Set Installer
Flag..." script function to let the installer programmatically
set the silent mode state at script level.
NEW : IDE: Improved compiler command line processing. The /CVL
command
line compiler switch lets you pass a list of compiler variable
values to the setup compiler.
SB10.EXE /C "C:\test\sample.sbp" /CVL "c:\test\Variables.txt"
Multiple compiler variable list files are allowed.
NEW : Add "Use SSL" option to the "Check HTTP Connection..." script
function.
NEW : Add "Use SSL" option to the "Post to HTTP Server..." script
function.
NEW : Add "Use SSL" option to the "Download File..." script function.
FIX : The "Create Text File..." script function always pointed to the
%_SB_INSTALLDIR% Target Folder.
FIX : [SB#8-01151] Installer: Under certain circumstances, a possible
silent buffer overrun caused in an incorrect output if the
compressed data size was between 65533 and 65535 bytes.
FIX : IDE: The "Select All" right-click popup menu item in the lower
right Target Files window of the "Files and Folders" Visualizer
was enabled even if no files where available in a specific
folder.
FIX : [SB#8-01171] Installer: Possible silent or non-silent buffer
overrun after processing the "Setup Type" dialog (if the Setup
Type ID is > 20 characters).
FIX : IDE: SHA-1 timestamp was required even for SHA-2 signing only.
If no SHA-1 timestamp was defined then the resulting file was
missing the timestamp.
FIX : [SB#8-04251] Installer: A "Cycle Loop" Statement within the
Loop (X Times) Statement caused an infitite loop.
FIX : [SB#8-06281] IDE: Possible Release Properties compiler variable
highlighting bug in the Releases Visualizer.
FIX : [SB#8-08291] Installer: Possible layout problems with the
"Clarion Environment Detection" wizard and the "Installation
Progress" dialog when the Windows custom scaling option was
enabled to increase the size of fonts and icons on
high-resolution displays (DS_FIXEDSYS issue).
FIX : Possible compiler variable resolving issue (dead-lock problem).
FIX : IDE: compiler accepted invalid compiler variable names (not all
uppercase).
FIX : IDE: Incorrect value assigned to the [SB_PROJECT_WEB] compiler
variable.
FIX : IDE: Selecting a new web update client in the "Install Web
Update Client..." function and canceling the "Choose File"
action cleared the entry field.
FIX : [SB#8-06251] Installer: FinishDialog.Hyperlink scaling issue.
CHANGE : [SB#8-07271] Installer: The Firewall Exceptions function does
not try to add the exception when one already exists with the
same name to prevent multiple entries on Windows 7 and later.
CHANGE : IDE: Add "Hide" option to the "#run..." directive.
CHANGE : IDE: The "#run..." directive displays the return value in the
compiler window.
CHANGE : Installer: When SetupBuilder failed to extract its temporary
system files to the temp directory (either because of an
anti-virus or permissions issues), it reported the error with a
popup, but did not have a return code of non-zero to indicate
an error. For automated installations there were no way to know
that it encountered an error. It returns a non-zero exit code
in this case now.
CHANGE : IDE: Add additional experimental code to try to work around the
Toolbar redrawing issues (caused by a bug in the development
system runtime).
CHANGE : IDE: When creating a new "Unzip File(s)..." script function,
the "Wildcard" and "Target Folder" entry fields are set to a
default value.
CHANGE : [SB#8-10061] IDE: Increased the width of the script comment
window.
CHANGE : IDE: Re-added the [SB5_*] system compiler variables (a leftover
from SetupBuilder 5). Removing the outdated compiler variables
caused more problems than it cured.
CHANGE : Remove "Global Reset" option from the "Set Feature State..."
script function.
CHANGE : Recompiled wupdate.exe Web Update client.
CHANGE : Recompiled wucheck.exe Web Update Check client.
CHANGE : Updated online help (CHM and PDF).
