- Remove the NATIVE_URI "destinationType" for the Cordova Camera plugin, since it's no more supported. Add also the "app.cordova.file.wkWebViewConvertFilePath" method to the Cordova File plugin, in order to convert file URLs (only in iOS) to URLs ready to be used in Image, Audio player, Video player controls, etc. The method as been also included in the Cordova Camera plugin as "app.cordova.camera.wkWebViewConvertFilePath", for the case that we need only one of these plugins.

In the same way that AB generates several splash screens for the Apache Cordova platforms, now we can choose (optionally) a splash image to be used for the dark modes of the Android and the iOS platforms: then AB generates several splash screens to be used in that dark modes in the referred platforms.


App Builder 2021.39

App Builder 2021.38
- Add a new "Use the modern WKWebView" checkbox in the app's options, under the Apache Cordova -> iOS options, which is checked by default. With this option checked (remember, it's checked by default for all the apps) we place in the Apache Cordova configuration file the right stuff in order to use the modern WKWebView for our iOS apps, instead the old WebView, which is no more accepted by the Apple Store. In some cases you may want to use the old WebView, then just uncheck this option.


App Builder 2021.37
- Place a small text hint when entering an empty (not yet used) event of the app, app views, app dialogs, native visual and non visual controls and app plugins visual and non visual controls. The text hints inform us about the specific event that we are seeing and also give us information about possible keys to be used.
- Remove an annoying flicker in the main toolbar Save All and Save buttons (basically the buttons alternates between the enabled / disabled states without apparently any reason). These buttons work as expected without any problem, however, the flicker referred to can certainly be a bit annoying distracting us about what we are doing.
- Assign the proper images (we lost this in a previous release) for the popup / contextual menus of the app views list, the app dialogs list and app frames list

The menu and toolbars icons, the dialogs and all the GUI forms and controls have been reviewed and tested to achieve this objective. We are particularly proud of this product release, because the work we expend on it and because the results that we finally can obtain
- In a previous release of the product we lost the ability to list in the integrated contextual help the available app plugins, as well their help.

App Builder 2021.33
- Fix a wrong behaviour which occur when we launch the app using one of the possible available external browsers buttons in the program's main toolbar: the expected behaviour is that the app become launched in the external browser, but, also in the internal debugger browser.

This can be useful, for example, in order to use scripts and style files placed inside certain folder which is also added by the plugin. This help a lot in order to use thirdparty libraries from app's plugins, since the library's files can remain in the expected position in the file system. This is something that we already can do it from our apps, that is, link to app's relative paths, and, exactly for the same purpose.

- Update the CEF4Delphi component of the product's debugger program, which is our bridge for the Chromium browser binaries, which has been also updated.
- Update the product's installer program (Inno Setup) to the latest stable version. This version fix some bugs and made some changes and enhancements.


App Builder 2020.77
- Update the Bootstrap CSS framework to the latest version (4.5.0). This release remove some Bootstrap themes provided by a thirdparty provider who do not update it to the latest version of Boostrap CSS. This release, on the other hand, updates the provided Boostrap CSS themes by Bootwatch. (Remember that it's possible to add your own Bootstrap CSS themes or modification in DecSoft App Builder, as easy as add the CSS file in your Documents / DecSoft / AppBuilder / Themes, so they become available for your apps.


App Builder 2020.76
- The dialogs Show event are fired now in the "show" modal event instead of the "shown" one: this allows to made some possible changes in some dialog's controls in order to be ready to appear (changed) when the dialog is shown to the user. Before this change we can see a small glitch until the controls' changes are effectively made.
- Made some minor modifications and enhancements in the recently added app.showAlert() app method. Now the alerts with the optional header kind different than "none", "link" and "light", shown the header text in white color, instead of dark color (for "none", "link" and "light" kinds). The optional alert's header text font size has been decreasing a bit too.


App Builder 2020.75
- Change log not available for this version


App Builder 2020.74
- The app's Files Manager picker JavaScript files dialog allows now to include and check JavaScript files in order to be included and used as "content" and "background" JavaScript files, to be available for the app when it's compiled as a Web Extension. This new feature is only for Web Extension apps.

App Builder 2020.71
- This product release incorporates some other internal changes, fixes and enhancements
- Introduce the App Search dock panel, which allows to search in the app, views, dialogs, frames, native controls and plugins controls events, and modify the code directly in the search results editor.
- Avoid to add new app user functions with a name of an already existing app user function
- Add the new WebExtension3 sample app (number 63), with an interesting sample of Web Extension app developed with DecSoft App Builder. Thanks to John Clarke for provide this sample app to be included in the product installation!


App Builder 2020.70
- Add the new VideoPlayer2 sample app, which shown the usage of the hls.js JavaScript library in order to reproduce a video using the HTTP Live Streaming protocol


App Builder 2020.69
- The "Input" property of the Label controls doesn't works as expected when we want to associate it with an "File input" control. As you can see now in the Label control's help, the "Input" property of the Label control, in order to be associated with a "file1" File input control, must be suffixed by "-input", for example, must be "file1-input".


App Builder 2020.68
- Fix a bug which causes that the TAB key don't work as expected in the code editor. Thanks Michael for your report
- Add the new Open Chars background and foreground options in the program options -> Editor -> General. Now the code editor of DecSoft App Builder highlight the open and close chars (parentheses, brackets, etc.) for our convenience.


App Builder 2020.67
- Fix a bug which causes that the Placeholder property of the FIle control are not loaded properly and therefore become to the default value every time


App Builder 2020.66
- By a mistake the previous release of DecSoft App Builder add the jQuery library and other stuff in the WebExtensions manifest. We can't do that, since the content script of the WebExtensions are loaded in every browser's page, and, that page can already contain the jQuery library, which can cause undesired and unexpected results. We fix such manifest mistake and also rewrite the WebExtension and WebExtension2 sample apps, in order to avoid the usage of the jQuery library, in this case.


App Builder 2020.65
- Add the new WebExtension2 sample app. This is a bit more complex than the WebExtension sample app, and, demonstrates how we can catch the submitted forms in all the browsers' tabs, so we can upload that information to our WebExtension server, for example. Please, note that this is sample app is just for learning purposes: you must carefully inform to your users if you wanted to recollect any kind of data from him.
- Change the WebExtension sample app in order to be ready with the latest changes related with the apps deployed as WebExtensions for the modern browsers
- Add a new WebExtBackground app event, which allows to place JavaScript code to be executed in the background, until our WebExtension app is loaded and enabled in the user browser. Please, take a look at this new app event at the product's documentation.
- The app WebExtContent event is no more "fired", but, allows to write code for the WebExtension's browser's tab Content script. It's quite easy to continue to receiving messages in the WebExtContent event just by attaching the right event handler (see the WebExtension and WebExtension2 samples apps for more details, as well the documentation of this app event), and, in addition, we can know more things (in addition to just receive messages) in the browser's tab content script.
- app.webExtensionSendMessage() is now app.webExtensionSendMessageToActiveTab(). A new app.webExtensionSendMessageToAllTabs() method has been added too. See the documentation for more information and details.


App Builder 2020.64
- Remove the scrollboxes used in the app options dock form and try to made it (all the options tabs) in order to be ready for use in some specific screen resolutions. Some customers report that he can reach some parts of the app options dialog: this release try to solve this. The same changes has been made in the program options dock form.


App Builder 2020.63
- Fix a bug in the app Files Manager when we move up or down the position of an script or style sheet previously added: due to this bug we get the styles are filled with the scripts, which is wrong, and, of course, causes problems when the app run. This release fix the bug and therefore we can now move up or down as expected both scripts and styles.


App Builder 2020.62
- Made some additions in the documentation around the "app.setVar()" method. Basically we clearly establish that this method is used to set global reactive variables to be used in all app views, app dialogs and app frames. We extend the method documentation to add information about the global reactive variables, and, clearly establish that may such global reactive variables are not needed, and we can use just global variables instead, avoiding the cost in resources to maintain the referred global reactive variables.
- Fix a bug in the app.js template which causes that the app KeyUp event are not properly fired. It's a typo in the event handler name which has been fixed
- Fix a bug which causes that the filter editbox of the app resources listbox become unuseful, since once we write any filter, the resource's editor take the focus, and therefore we can't continue writting in the filter editbox. This release fix that problem.


App Builder 2020.61
- Added the Hide event for the app views and app dialogs. This event is fired when some app view is hidden in order to show another app view, or when an app dialog is closed / hidden to the user. This can be a good event to stop some possible running Timer control in both app views and app dialogs
- Despiste the documentation, the "self" variable is not available in the app dialogs dblclickHandler, mouseupHandler, mousedownHandler, mousemoveHandler, mouseenterHandler, mouseleaveHandler and contextmenuHandler event handlers. This release fix this bug and set the "self" variable in such event handlers


App Builder 2020.60
- Set the appropriate (and expected) TAB order for the app user functions new argument dialog, which helps to add and edit the app user functions arguments
- The items of the app resources listbox and also the items of the app user functions listbox appear now alphabetically sorted, probably better than just the creation order
- Fix a bug wihch causes that the hints of the app user functions (based in the functions arguments) appear wrong (always appear all of them!) and therefore become unuseful


App Builder 2020.59
- Fix an error wihch causes that the the code in the app's ContextMenu event and the device's battery related events are not properly saved and therefore loaded nor fired as expected. This release contains also other minor fixes, changes and enhancements.


App Builder 2020.58
- Now, when the internal debugger browser window is resized, what the app panel changes his dimensions, and not the developer console panel. This described behaviour is what we can expected, and not the contrary.
- Avoid the usage of the cache in the internal debugger browser. The cache can cause unexpected results, since if we change certain used image, we want to show it, and not a possible previous one cached by the browser.


App Builder 2020.57
- Fix a bug related with the app functions cache which can cause some unexpected results: you can experience one of them when modify an app function but can't see that latest changes working when run the app. This release fix this cache related bug.
- If we don't place any code in the app VueJS Error or the app JavaScript error events, DecSoft App Builder places an "alert" which show the possible errors. Now that "alert" has been replaced with a "window.console.error", useful but not annoying.


App Builder 2020.55
- Avoid to open the internal debugger browser window if we launch the app from one of the external browsers toolbar icons. Before the previous release the internal debugger browser was placed docked or inside the IDE, but now the internal debugger browser window is an external program (for very good reasons) and we can and even must avoid to open it if what we wanted is to launch the app in an external browser


App Builder 2020.54
- The internal debugger browser has been enhanced and it's now based in Chromium (derived from Google Chrome) instead of Microsoft Internet Explorer 11. This allows to use ECMAScript 6 and even ECMAScript 7 JavaScript code in our apps without "syntax errors". Additionally, the internal debugger browser shows now a developer console, similar than in Google Chrome and others browsers.


App Builder 2020.53
- Change log not availabble for this version


App Builder 2020.51
- Add the window.setTimeout(), window.setInterval() and window.clearInterval() methods into the Quick Code list as well in the help documentation. This methods are useful to prepare some code to be executed after certain amount of time, or in certain interval of time. We add also into the documentation the reference for the window.alert(), window.console.info(), window.console.debug() and window.console.error() methods.
- Add the new ImageFit property to the Video Player control. This property act exactly in the same way than the ImageFit of the Image control, for example, and, allow to control the video apparence, no matter the level of app scale.


App Builder 2020.50
- Add the new AppQuery sample app (number 59), which show how to use the recently added "app.query" property, in order to pass variables to the app views
- Add the new "app.query" property, which stores the possible URL arguments passed to the app views or just a "false" value if no URL has been passed
- Enhance the Table sample app with a designer comment wich describes a bit for what the Table control is intended to use, and what to look in the Table sample app


App Builder 2020.49
- Change log not available for this version


App Builder 2020.48
- Update the VueJS, VueJS Ex, VueJS Router and the jQuery JavaScript libraries to their latest stable releases. Made other minor changes, fixes and enhancements
- Due to a bug the debug certificate password for the Electron platform are not properly load and saved, and, therefore, not well writen in the build.json file for that platform. This release fix that bug and now the referred JSON file is prepared as expected
- The app.resource() method don't fail now if the specified app language do not exists. Instead of fail with a JavaScript error, the method returns the specified app resource in the default app language.
- Fix a bug in the NavBar control which causes that we can't set the "background" property to "dark" at designtime. The "background" can be perfectly changed at runtime, but not at designtime. This fix solve the bug.


App Builder 2020.47
- Add the Inputs sample app (number 57) which show how we can place controls beyond the app view height, which can be useful, for example, to place lot of inputs controls in a sole app view, and not divided in various of them. Additionally, this sample app also show the usage of the "app.setViewReadyForDeviceKeyboard()" and the recently added "app.setDialogReadyForDeviceKeyboard()", to be ready with the devices' keyboards in platforms like Android and iOS
- Add the new "app.setDialogReadyForDeviceKeyboard()" method, which can be used for the same thing than the "app.setViewReadyForDeviceKeyboard()" , but specifically designed to be used with app dialogs, instead of app views
- Change the internal implementation of the "app.setViewReadyForDeviceKeyboard()" method, in order to run properly from even when the first app view (before the app DeviceReady event). Now the method attach a "deviceready" event so works as expected even if we place it in the first app view
- We find a unaceptable behaviour in the Android (and probably the iOS platform, even when we don't test it) when we place controls beyond the app view height, due to the attachment of the app SwipeUp and app SwipeDown events, as well the app view SwipeUp and SwipeDown events. For the moment, we remove these events from the app, so the behaviour in the Android platform become as expected. Since the Hummer JavaScript library (used by these events) are available in AB "out of the box", you can continue use the referred events if you wanted, by attaching yourself to the view or the app window


App Builder 2020.45

- The app Resize event are not properly set due to a bug, which is fixed in this release (the mistake is that we are assigning the Online event code to the Resize event)
- Place the missing "defaultText" argument of the method "prompt" of the Cordova Dialogs plugin, in order to be available into the Quick Code List and method's help "hints"


App Builder 2020.42
- Add the new GetJson sample app (number 52). This sample app shown how easy is to get a JSON response from a server's script and then just access the JSON object properties like any other JavaScript variable, just by using the HTTP control's "response" property


App Builder 2020.41
- The icons and the splash screens images which DecSoft App Builder prepares for the different Apache Cordova platforms, are not taking in consideration the program's behaviour configuration that determines these images compression level. This causes that sometimes we can get an Apache Cordova error while get a release APK for Android of our apps. Now this problem is fixed, by applying a default compression level for the referred images, and, respecting the configuration values for such compression level


App Builder 2020.40
- Add the new Clipboard sample app (number 51), in order to show how to use the recently added DecSoft Clipboard app plugin

App Builder 2020.29
- Fix a mistake in the Label control, which causes that the Classes cannot be properly set, since AB try to set a "classes" argument for the HTML element, but the right name is "class", not "classes"


App Builder 2020.28
- We are very proud to introduce the first DecSoft App Builder release which has support for thirdparty app plugins. In this new generation of DecSoft App Builder, we want to go ahead, and, the app plugins can be perfectly integrated in the IDE, can offer global stuff (useful methods for the app, for example), and also components / controls, which play in the same league than the "out of the box" controls: can be edited using the controls properties and style inspector, and, of course can have events, ready to be edited in the IDE Javascript code editor, just like any other "out of the box" controls. Support thirdparty plugins become a hard work, but, we are happy with the final result, and, in fact DecSoft App Builder already incorporates the first plugin, provided by DecSoft, a "SelectEx" control, similar to the "Select" control which is already available, but, including certain useful feature, as you can see in the app plugin's help, which is also integrated in the IDE, as you can see in the new sections of the help Index of contents.

App Builder 2020.21

App Builder 2020.19
