Obsydian 2.50 class library release notes

This document contains information that supplements the printed documentation and the online help.

Version 2.5   December 18, 1996

For more information, see What's new in Obsydian class libraries.

Important information

•	Class libraries utilize versions and levels for changes and additions where appropriate; by specifying which version and level you want to use, you can use previous versions of the class libraries or upgrade to the latest release.  Select version "Obsydian 2.5" and level "Obsydian 2.5 changes" in the Configuration dialog box from the File menu to use the 2.5 class libraries.

•	If you use the OBASE class library, you need to extract from both the OBAS400 class library and the OBWIN class library, regardless of which variant you use for your model. The Class Libraries Guide shows which libraries are needed for each class library.

Note: The first time you extract from OBAS400 after upgrading to the Obsydian 2.5 class libraries, you will see several warning messages. This is because some field names have been changed to avoid conflicts with OBASE fields. You can ignore these warning messages.

Significant changes

•	The OBASE/Code field has been changed to accept uppercase characters only. To reset a field so that it accepts mixed case characters, add a case Mixed triple to that field.

•	The obsolete function Entity With Tab Dialog.Old Tab Dialog Edit has been deleted. Any of your entities that inherited from Entity With Tab Dialog may still have versions of the deleted function. You can now delete the obsolete functions from those entities.

Known problems

•	In the class library online help, popup links from one help file to another do not always work correctly. For example, in the preceding section, "Significant changes," if you click on the link for OBASE/Code, and then click on the link for OBASE/Character in the popup, you get a message stating that the topic does not exist. This results from a problem with the Windows 95 help viewer.
