What's new in this version:

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
- Change log not available for this version


App Builder 2020.44
- Change log not available for this version


App Builder 2020.43
- Add the new IFrame2 sample app (number 53) which show how we can send messages from the app to some used IFrame and also how to receive messages in the app sent by the used IFrame
- Add the new app event Message, which is useful to receives messages from a call to window.postMessage() in another browsing context, like an IFrame, that we can use in our app. So we can establish a communication with the IFrame and viceversa
- 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
- Add the new BlockUI sample app (number 50), in order to show how to use the new DecSoft BlockUI app plugin
- Add the new DecSoft BlockUI app plugin, which allows to block the user interface until some background task are made, for example. The app plugin's documentation is available, like other app plugins, in the program's help index of contents


App Builder 2020.39
- Change log not available for this version


App Builder 2020.38
- The Cordova Dialogs plugin, included "out of the box" in DecSoft App Builder, has now the proper fallback for all their methods ("alert", "confirm", "prompt" and "beep"), so the plugin fallback properly when the app run in non Apache Cordova platforms
- Fix the CordovaDialogs sample app, which are not propertly follow the Cordova Dialogs methods arguments order, and therefore don't work as expected


App Builder 2020.37
- Made some minor bug fixes in a couple of samples apps
- Add the new CordovaBarcode sample app, wich show how to use the phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner plugin for Apache Cordova to read barcodes (various formats are supported) from our apps, using the device cameras


App Builder 2020.36
- Update the Boostrap CSS framework to the latest version. Also update the themes from Bootswatch and the themes from Theme Machine


App Builder 2020.35
- Change log not available for this version


App Builder 2020.33
- Add the new Typeahead and SelectEx sample apps, which show how to use the Typeahead and SelectEx controls, added by the DecSoft Controls app plugin
- Add the new Typeahead control. This new control is added by the DecSoft Controls app plugin, which is also included in the installation of the product
- Add the TabIndex property to the SelectEx control. This control is included in the DecSoft Controls app plugin, which is also included in the installation of the product


App Builder 2020.32
- Change log not available for this version


App Builder 2020.31
- Add the new DecSoft Clipboard app plugin, which provide us a way to check if the clipboard is ready to use in the current browser / platform, and, also a method to copy certain specified text into the clipboard
- Made some changes around the recent files and favorite files. Now, when open a recent file, that file become the first in the recent list, which is probably what we expected. Before this change the recent file don't move the position in the recent list


App Builder 2020.30
- Add the new "CordovaPushNotifications" sample app, which show how we can use the phonegap-plugin-push Apache Cordova plugin, in order to receive push notifications in our apps, which are deployed in platforms like Android and iOS
- Add the new DecSoft Analytics app plugin, which can integrate Google Analytics into your app. This plugin, as Google Analytics, works in all platforms and can give us a very good idea about how our app is used by the users
- Add a button in the app options / app plugins tab, which allows to open the app plugins help directly from that place. The IDE already link to the available plugins help in the index of contents of the product help, however, the referred button can be also a good thing


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.
- Other minor changes, fixes and enhancements has been made also in this release, while we work in the app plugins integration


App Builder 2020.27
- Fix a bug in the assigment of the app views events: by a mistake not all the app views events works as expected and this release fix this issue
- Prepare the currently available Apache Cordova plugins stuff (basically the information that the plugins add into the code editor Quick list) to be translated in the future into another languages


App Builder 2020.26
- Some minor changes, fixes and enhancements. Perform the default fade / slide animation for the apps dialogs, which appear too much better than leave it without these feature. Allow to edit the app languages from the App languages manager. We can now change both language codes and names. Also in the App languages manager, indicates the language of the original piece of code to be translated, and, the language that is expected in the translation, according to the currently editing app language


App Builder 2020.25
- Add the App resources into the editor Quick list, which means that we can now easily see the available App resources and also insert the right "app.resource()" method in the code editor in order to get the desired App resource value
- Fix various bug and mistakes in the App files manager, which get confused when deal with Javascript and stylesheet files, causing a malfunction of the App files manager in various aspects. Now the App files manager works as expected now
- Add the new sample app "Pannellum", which show how to use the Pannellum library (the tour mode, in particular) in our apps. Pannellum is a lightweight, free, and open source panorama viewer for the web. Built using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and WebGL, it is plug-in free


App Builder 2020.24
- Introducing the Key Store files tool (IDE Main Menu -> Tools -> New Key Store file), which allows to create the Key Store files to be used to sign and additionally publish our Android apps in stores like Google Play. Document the tool in the program help file too


App Builder 2020.23
- Add into the editor Quick list the information of the recently added app languages related methods. We forget to do this in the previous release. Made some minor changes in the app help also, to get a more usable list of the available app methods


App Builder 2020.22
- Change log not available for this version


App Builder 2020.21
- Fix an error that occur if we check one or more Apache Cordova plugin in the app options, and, after that, try to use the code editor. The problem occur because some expected files cannot be found, since the installation assistant are not including it. This problem has been solved in this release and the appropriate files are shipped


App Builder 2020.19
- Add the new App options (local storage) app methods category, which include the new app.setOption(), app.getOption(), app.removeOption() and app.clearOptions() methods to deal with the app local storage: save, read, remove and clear, respectively.


App Builder 2020.17
- Change log not available for this version


App Builder 2019.48
- Made certain change in the configuration file for Apache Cordova in order to allow us to use the "edit-config" configuration tag inside the app Cordova -> Extra XML option. It's possible to use the "edit-config" before, but, not specifically to made changes in the AndroidManifest.xml file, or, at least some changes, like adding attributes to the "application" tag. Now it's completely possible to perform this kind of changes.


App Builder 2019.47
- Fix an introduced error in the previous release that can cause problems if your app use the jQuery library. We encourage you to upgrade to this new release to fix this possible error


App Builder 2019.46
- Made certain changes in order to allow the app to continue working as a Web Extension in browsers different than Google Chrome. Look at the WebExtension app sample, which has been updated in order to properly work, including the usage of the jQuery library inside the Web Extension content.js script
- Avoid to create the android_sign.json if no signed information has been provided in the app options. There is no problem with that file at all, except for some notice than appear when compile the app with Apache Cordova. That notice can be completely ignored, but, can result a bit annoying to someone who already knows that the signed information has not been provided, maybe because we are only testing some app


App Builder 2019.45
- Avoid to update the debugger inspector if the IDE is not in the foreground. This is a try to avoid certain ugly access violation (difficult to catch) that sometimes occur when debug the app in external browsers


App Builder 2019.44
- Fix an introduced bug in the previous release which can cause that the normal CSS style of a control become missing if we use the Hover and the Focus CSS style at the same time


App Builder 2019.43
- Fix a bug in the DecSoft App Builder's compiler which cause that the controls' CSS appear duplicates in the final app's scaled and fixed CSS stylesheets. In fact we can't appreciate the problem... since the controls' CSS are extrictly duplicated, so we can't see anything rare in the app, however, certainly the duplicate CSS code is no needed and waste space and maybe can cause some possbile issue in some specific scenarios


App Builder 2019.42
- Add the new "MinLength" variable to the TypeAhead control. This variable determine the minimum characters length which the user must type in the TypeAhead control, before the TypeAhead shown the possible matches list
- Remove the duplicate of the "Designtime" category of variables / properties in the Container control. In other words, before this fix the Container control shown a couple of "Designtime" categories in the object inspector. Some other fixes has been made around the Container control too


App Builder 2019.41
- Fix a memory leak in the DecSoft App Builder's CLI compiler. Also in this CLI compiler, a possible error has fixed, which only occur if we try to use the CLI compiler and the program's requisites are not the expected ones: the expected behaviour is to receive the right error message, but, before this change the console window is just closed without further notice


App Builder 2019.40
- Add the new TodoApp app sample (number 191 of App Builder). This application is just one of the possible approaches to get a TODO list implemented in an App Builder's app. In this particular case we use pure Javascript code, as you can see in this app's view Show event
- Additionally, we use an HTML control to shown to the user everything: the input box and button to add new TODO items, as well the TODO list properly said, with the right switches controls to "complete" an item, and a delete button to delete it
- Additionally the app saves the TODO list into the local storage, so you can close and open again the app in order to see that the items that you previosly added to the list still there at your disposition
- What this sample wanted is to shown one of the possbile approaches to be taken in order to prepare some kind of "live" TODO list: this app sample don't pretend to be a complete TODO list app


App Builder 2019.39

- Allow to specify app relative paths into the app's file manager for scripts and styles. The file manager allows this now and the compiler recognize it and properly link the specified scripts and styles. Sometimes (like in the recently added WYSIWYG app sample) a thirdparty library requires some stuff like font files relative from their scripts and/or styles
- Using the already existing "add directory", we can add an specific directory (the "summercode" in the referred sample) to be included in our apps. And, additionally, now we can link scripts and styles from that directory, so, these scripts and styles are now properly included in our app, and, the scripts and styles can use stuff relative to itself, just like expected or just in the way that the used thirdparty library do it
- Add the new WYSYWYG app sample (number 190 in App Builder). This app sample shown how we can use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor in our apps, in order to allow user's input maybe a pretty formatted by the usage of HTML. Take care when you deal with this kind of input from the user: the input HTML can break your own app's HTML... so maybe it's a good idea to only allow some formatting tags like strong, em, etc. Anyway, you must validate the user's input in all cases: and if that input can contain HTML, double validate it
- Add the new AfterEffectsJSON app sample (number 189 in App Builder). This app sample shown how we can reproduce Adobe After Effects animations in our apps. BodyMovin is a program which allows to export animations created with Adobe After Effects into JSON. Including the BodyMovin Javascript library and provide to it the referred JSON, it's possible to reproduce the created animation in our apps
- Add the new Report20 app sample (number 188 in App Builder). This app sample shown how we can save the Report's scroll top position when change to another view, and then, when back to this view, set the Report's scroll top position, if needed. We can view also in this sample how we can show another view with the selected Report's record information (even more than what we can show in the report itself, if we wanted)


App Builder 2019.37
- Some internal changes and enhancements in order to get a default app's project XML file a bit smaller, removing some default information in case that that default value has been not changed during the app's development


App Builder 2019.36
- Change log not available for this version


App Builder 2019.35
- Made some changes and enhancements when generate the build and settings JSON files for Cordova's Electron for Windows and Mac OS. The created files names are more descriptive, and, instead of rename the Windows or Mac OS build JSON, we copy the file, so keep the original one


App Builder 2019.34
- Move the App options -> Cordova -> Shell -> Use new line / Use carriage return options to App options -> Cordova -> General
- Upgrade the Phonegap CLI default version to the latest Apache Cordova version: 9.0.0


App Builder 2019.33
- Add the new App options -> Cordova -> Electron -> Signing -> Mac OS options, in order to provide the appropriate debug, relase and store stuff to sign Mac OS applications compiled by the Cordova's Electron platform
- Made more changes, fixes and enhancements around the Cordova's Electron platform, for example, by creating specific win_build.json and mac_build.json files for Windows and Mac OS, and, renaming it to build.json from the BATH and SHELL files for Electron
- This is because we can't include the right Mac OS stuff in the same build.json used for Windows, since Electron complains with the error "You cannot compile Mac OS apps from Windows". So we prepare different build files and then rename it to the expected name (build.json) to be used by Electron


App Builder 2019.32
- Generate SHELL files for the Cordova's Electron platform. This has not been tested yet, but App Builder generate SHELL files for the Electron platform, in the same way that generates it for the iOS platform, in order to be used in a Mac OS computer
- New Windows sign options for the Cordova's Electron platform. We can now specify a certificate file and th eir right password in order to sign our debug and release app and app's installer executable files
- Prepare specific icons for the Cordova's Electron platform, and include that icons reference in the Cordova's configuration file
- Fix a bug with the sign JSON file for the Cordova's Android platform. The bug only appear if we use differents key store files for debug and release: now the specified debug and release key store files are used
- Remove the cordova-plugin-whitelist for all the Cordova's platforms except Android and Amazon FireOS. In fact this plugin is only required for the referred platforms, but, until now, we are including it (this do not cause any problem) in other platforms too


App Builder 2019.31
- Introduce the support for the Cordova's Electron platform. This platform made very easy to create executables and installers in order to deploy our apps in Microsoft Windows, for example. For now DecSoft App Builder generates BATCH files for the Cordova's Electron platform, and, also allows to specify the BrowserWindow JSON configuration for Electron


App Builder 2019.30
- Add the link meta tag "apple-touch-icon" into the app's index.html. This solve certain issue with the app's icon (they are not properly set) when deploy our apps as PWA (Progressive Web Apps) in iOS devices


App Builder 2019.29
- Allows to establish a background and foreground icons for the Android platform. App Builder resize these iccons in the proper way and link it into the Cordova's config.xml file, in order to get an adaptative icon for the supported Android versions. The already existing app's icon is used as fallback for Android platforms that don't support adaptative icons
- Fix an introduced bug in some previous release in order to properly change the app's icon image when the used editbox changes (we select a new icon)
- Establish the min SDK option for Android to 19 and the target platform to 28. This is required due to some changes in the recent versions of Apache Cordova
- Update the AngularJS Javascript library core and the used Aria, Route, Touch and Sanitize modules to the latest stable version from 1.7.7 to 1.7.8


App Builder 2019.28
- Add the Context Menu event for the Html Content, Report, Container, Input Text, Input Number, Input Password, Input Email, Input Phone, Input Date, Input Search, Input Color, Textarea and Image controls


App Builder 2019.27
- The DecSoft App Builder compiler has been enhanced when check for possible modifications in app's files like splashs, icons, javascript, styles, images and other files. To decide if the files has been changed or not (and therefore if need to be copied / refreshed in the app compiled directory) the compiler use now the file write date time, in addition to just the file sizes, which sometimes cause some "false negatives"


App Builder 2019.26
- Enhance the AdMob Javascript plugin and the AdMob app sample in order to implement various actions missing in the first version of the AdMob Javascript plugin of App Builder. Now it's possible to create banners before show it, prepare interstitials to be show later, and, also prepare and show reward videos


App Builder 2019.25
- Fix a bug when copy a Container control from one app's view to another app's view: before this fix the pasted control do not respect the name of the original one


App Builder 2019.24
- Change log not available for this version


App Builder 2019.23
- Change log not available for this version


App Builder 2019.21
- Added the Signature2 app sample (number 181 in App Builder). This app sample is simlar to the Signature one, except that we use the Cordova's Files plugin in order to save the user's signature in a JPG image, inside an Android device, for example, and, without using any server side
- Added the new Signature app sample (number 180 in App Builder). This app sample show how we can use the Signature PAD Javascript library in order to get a signature from the app's user, and, finally download the signature (only in browsers) or get their Base64


App Builder 2019.20
- The type of the [App.Online] variable is not string, not boolean. Even when we can deal with this variable using actions like "VarIsTrue", certainly, follow the convention the referred variable is not of the string type, which can be useful, for example, for the "If" action (condition), that we can use without the usage of "VarIsTrue" nor other action


App Builder 2019.19
- Fix an introduced error in the previous release in the MediaSetVolume action. The error occur only if we use a MediaPlayer control in their Audio flavour and with their AutoPlay variable set to false (which is the default value)


App Builder 2019.17
- aImprove the App Builder compiler cache trying to be more accurate when we need to remove some piece of code from the cache, in other words, try to remove the compiled cache when we modify any app or view or control property, etc.


App Builder 2019.16
- Add the new Dropdown3 sample (number 179 of App Builder). This sample shown how we can use the new Direction variable / option added to the Dropdown control, and also how we can combine it with the already existing Alignment variable / option of the control
- Remove the "Caret" variable from the Dropdown control. This variable has been removed due to the new variable added to this control: Direction, which allows to indicate the direction of the dropdown menu from these possible values: dropdown (by default), dropup, dropleft and dropright


App Builder 2019.15
- Change the Apache Cordova plugin used by the SendSMS Javascript plugin of DecSoft App Builder. The old used plugin don't work anymore as expected. This new one not only works well, but also ask for the appropriate permissions to the user in order to properly work
- Minor internal changes in the Report control, only in their "table" mode. Now the container of the Report's table has the appropriate Boostrap CSS class to made the Report's table responsive


App Builder 2019.14
- Update Font Awesome to the latest version. This release of App Builder also update the Icon Picker dialog, which now include up to 1500 icons ready to use
- Update the CSS and Javascript of the Boostrap framework to the latest stable version. Update also the app's themes provided by bootswatch.com
- Update the AngularJS Javascript library core and the used Aria, Route, Touch and Sanitize modules to the latest stable version from 1.7.6 to 1.7.7
- The App Builder installer uses now the latest version of Inno Setup. Among other changes, this present now a much modern install assistant pages


App Builder 2019.13
- Add the new StartEvent app sample (number 178 in App Builder). This app sample shown how to use the recently added app's Start event, and, specifically, how to use it to change the recently added app's configuration variable "window.App.Config.DefaultView"
- Added the new "window.App.Config.DefaultView" variable. This is a new kind of variables internally used by App Builder, and that can be set from the recently added apps' Start event. This specific configuration variable determine the app's default view, in other words, what view of the app is shown to the user when the app is loaded, and also the view that is shown to the user if the app's URL specify a non existing view
- Add the new app's Start event to our apps. This event is the very first fired in our apps and can be used to perform some actions before any of the app's stuff has been initialized. This event only allows pure Javascript code, not App Builder's actions, and, can't access to stuff like app's views, controls, global variables, etc. However, the app's Start event can do useful things, for example, change some App Builder's configuration variables


App Builder 2019.12
- Change log not available for this version


App Builder 2019.11

- We are very, very proud with this particular App Builder release. This release has an enhanced compiler, which can compile our apps up to 85% faster than before! This is especially useful when work in apps with a large number of views, that is, apps with 150 views or more, which is not very common, but perfectly possible
- The referred enhancement in the App Builder compiler not only allows to compile our apps up to 85% faster, but the compilation time scale now in a better way too, in other words, no matter if our apps have 10, 100 or 200 views : the compilation time become the same, since App Builder compile now only the modified views
- The above enhancements in the App Builder compiler provide a better work flow now. In a real app that we are developing, with 162 views (and growing), before this release they take 19 seconds in order to compile. This may appear not too many time, however, is it, when we need to compile and run the app over and over again, in order to test the changes, etc. This release of App Builder compile the same app (162 views) in less than 4 seconds
- Add a new checkbox into the program's options dialog / compiler, in order to allows to choose to hide the new app's compiler cache directory or not. By default the compiler cache directory appear hidden, in the same folder than the app's compiled directory and the app's backup directory.
Smaller apps has been also affected with the referred compiler enhancement, that is, more or less commo apps, with 10, 20 app views, also compile up to 85% faster than never, however, since these apps take before around 3 seconds to compile... now we can see this apps compiling in 1 seconds or less
- Prevent an "Access violation" error which can be appear (multiple times) in certain circumstances when some specific messages has been added into the Debugger console
