LogicGem Release Notes

Version 3.0 Build 3000

  • General release of LogicGem. The final release includes all previous updates, revised online help and expanded the User's Guide and QuickStart Guide documentation.

Version 3.0 Build 1035 (RC1)

  • Corrected several additional minor display issues when running under Windows XP with themes enabled
  • Modified the File | Table Comments menu option to define a comment for the table.
  • Updated the table printing functions to eliminate the unused matrix ("M") column from the table output.
  • Updated the examples included with the product.
  • Updated the Quick Start guide included with the product.
  • Corrected a problem where the File | Print menu option would not work when the table compiler was open. This option will now print the compiled results.
  • Corrected a problem with the Help menu option where the table of contents for the LogicGem help file was not being displayed correctly. Options were also added to display the help index and search tabs.
  • Corrected a problem with some windows not being resized correctly under Windows XP if the user had themes enabled.
  • Added support for Windows XP common controls which will give LogicGem the appearance of a Windows XP application if themes are enabled.
  • Added a new Tip of the Day feature. When LogicGem is started, by default it will display a tip to the user. This can be disabled if the user prefers, and then re-enabled through the Help menu. Note that a tip will not be displayed if the user starts LogicGem by double-clicking on a LogicGem table file.
  • The file extension .LGT (LogicGem Table) will now be associated with LogicGem. The previous versions used a more generic .TAB extension which was typically associated with SQL table script files.
  • The number of languages supported by the compiler has been significantly increased. LogicGem can now generate output for English, French, German, and Spanish. Computer languages supported are BASIC, C, C++, Fortran, FoxPro, Java, Pascal, PowerBuilder, SAS, Visual Basic, Visual Basic.NET, Visual C#.NET, and XBase.
  • The default language used for compiler output is now English, instead of SAS.
  • The Preferences dialog (Edit | Preferences) has been changed to provide a drop-down list of supported languages, rather than using radio buttons. The same change was also made to the Compiler dialog (Compiler | Compile).
  • Registry settings for the current user have been modified and are now found in the standard location HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Catalyst\LogicGem. This will have the effect of clearing any preferences set by the user. To adjust your general and compiler preferences, select Edit | Preferences from the menu.
  • A problem where temporary files were not being created correctly has been fixed. This would affect tables that were created and compiled, but not yet explicitly saved by the user.
  • Minor cosmetic changes to the user interface has been made, such as aligning user interface objects and changes to how the worksheet and compiler MDI child windows are displayed.
