CHANGES FOR VERSION 5.29.6 (as compared to 5.29.2)

1. [update 5.29.6] Fixed race condition between UI threads sometimes causing “wait for plugin” window to stay
2. Sometimes when copying AA list to clipboard three dot (…) sequence appeared every 2048 characters of copied text and some characters could be missing. Fixed.
3. GUI: chart context window items re-arranged – ‘Close’ menu item moved to the bottom and ‘Properties’ menu item moved to top (after Parameters)
4. styleClipMinMax constant is now highlighted in AFL editor
5. When different symbol were selected in active chart and in the Symbols pane (because of filtering) operations like adding/removing from watchlist got confused. Now AmiBroker asks the user what to do.
6. NumToStr/WriteVal are polymorphic now (means better performance for scalar input arguments)
7. Aux1/Aux2 reserved variables are highligted now in AFL editor
8. PREV/NEXT sibling keyboard shortcut functionality restored
9. Added “wait for plugin” window when switching external plugin-driven databases because sometimes plugin may take long time to shutdown/initialize
10. New symbol bar: inability to select first symbol after new search when previously displayed was one symbol, current symbol is re-selected automatically when search string changes. In-place symbol editing disabled.
11. Under some circumstances when broker.master was deleted/corrupted/inaccessible AmiBroker could hang loading database. Fixed.
12. Cum() function does NOT use all bars any more by default.
13. BarIndex() now returns values always starting from zero (even if QuickAFL is turned on).
14. Due to operating system changes in Vista and Windows 7, structured exceptions like address violations were not handled properly by exception handler and caused immediate program exit. Fixed.
15. Status() function new fields
16. Crash report now properly lists Windows Vista (OS 6.0) and Windows 7 (OS 6.1)
17. Crash recovery window now sends bug reports directly over http (WWW) protocol instead of relying on clients’ MAPI email program as on Windows 7 e-mail program is no longer installed by default.
