Registered users of purchased versions of Delphi 7 Architect can download Bold for Delphi Architect R4.0-D7 right now by going to http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_delphi.html and clicking on the "Updates" link in the Registered Users section.
Note! In the readme file below, I have modified the links for Quality Central reports to be indicated as (QC#<report number>). The original format was (Quality Central <report number>). Therefore, something that appeared as "(Quality Central 3396)" in the original readme now appears as (QC#3396) and has a clickable link to the browser interface to Quality Central, which is now in public beta testing.
Bold for Delphi Architect R4.0-D7
Release Notes
=======================================================
Installation Notes:
It is important to ensure that the Delphi IDE has been launched
at least once prior to installing Bold for Delphi. Failing to do
so will prevent Delphi from completing its installation correctly.
This update is a complete install of Bold for Delphi Architect R4.0-D7.
It is recommended that existing installations of Bold for
Delphi be uninstalled before installing this update. To run
this install the original CD must be available.
=======================================================
=======================================================
The following is a partial list of changes in this release:
Bugfixes:
* BoldPMappersDefault: Default BlobMapper now uses the
SQLDatabaseConfig.FieldTypeForBlob when creating parameters to
store a blob. This fixes a problem with the error
"Parameter object is improperly defined. Inconsistent or incomplete
information was provided"
when storing memo-blobs in a SQLServer database
using ADO (and possibly similar cases).
* BoldExceptionHandlersCom, BoldExceptionHandlers: Improved
searching for matching exception handler. While optimization
could have been somewhat harder, we're facing an exception,
which will be more expensive at any rate.
* BoldComboBox: Combobox now behaves better when navigated
via keyboard speed keys.
* BoldComboBox, BoldEdit, BoldLabel, BoldMemo (QC#3396): Fixed
problem with lost ParentColor-property.
* BoldControlPackCom, BoldControlPack: Components with bapChange
will continue to apply their values when changed even if
an exception occured during a previous apply.
* BoldSystem: If a derived attribute causes an exception during
calculation of its value, it will be recalculated at next access
(hoping the calculation will succeed) instead of going
permanently dead.
* BoldSystemPersistenceHandler: Calling FetchLinksWithObjects
with an empty list does not cause an indexoutofbounds anymore.
* BoldUMLSupport: Fixed a bug that would cause an AV when
unboldifying a model with implicitly transient associations.
* BoldDeriver: Derived attributes that causes an exception
during their derivation will not become permanently dead but
try to rederive themselves on next access instead.
* BoldOLLEDistributableObjectHandlers (QC#3074): Fixed access
violation in OLLE.
* BoldSystem (QC#3012): Fixed bug in TBoldSystem.RollbackTransaction
that would cause rollback of a nested transaction to have
no effect (especially it would not cause the outermost
transaction to fail).
* BoldSystemPersistenceHandler: When updating a list with
embedded relations to unsaved objects that are not in the list,
the related objects would be saved (created in the db),
but their state would not be correctly updated so if they
were subsequently updated, the persistence mapper would again
try to insert the objects thus causing a primary key violation.
* UMLEditor: Fixed AV with CTRL-ALT-S when an attribute is selected.
* BoldFormSaver: Plugged minor memoryleak in TBoldFormSaver.
* BoldUMLXMIImporter: Fixes to prevent tagged values to be created
multiple times when importing.
* BoldUMLModel: Bugfix: Missing tagged value for "Persistence" is
now treated as "persistent" and not "transient". This fixes the
erroneous changes of persistence-flag when boldifying
transient classes.
* BoldPersistenceHandleFile: Bugfix: Transient attributes and
roles are now ignored when data is handled by the XML-file mapper.
* BoldADOInterfaces.pas: BugFix: Parameters that are assigned
before the SQL-statement is assigned to an ADO query are now
restored again after the SQL-statement is assigned.
This would cause a "'Parameter object is improperly defined [...]"
error when loading data.
* BoldUMLModelMOFAdapters.pas: fix: export multiplcity "*".
* BoldTreeView.pas: Fixed problem in TBoldCustomTreeView._CustomDrawItem
that would cause an AV if the node-follower was not assigned.
* BoldPMappersDefault.pas: Fixed bug in handling of
SQLDataBaseConfig.MaxParamsInIdList. Setting this value to 0
now prevents the usage of params for ID lists.
* BoldEdit.pas: fixed problem with AV when accessing the popupmenu.
* BoldEditCom.pas: fixed problem with AV when accessing the popupmenu.
* BoldSystem.pas: Fix: ObjectReferences that are not a part of
bidirectional links (such as derived relations) will now send
beValueChanged when they change.
* BoldDataSet.pas: Fixed a bug with removing the BoldHandle
when dataset is active.
* BoldGrid.pas: (QC#3229) Fixed problem with TypeMayHaveChanged not checking
if BoldHandle assigned before accessing props. Caused AV when
deleting a listhandle pointed to by the grid.
* BoldSqlNodes.pas: Fix for joining tables correctly when
OCL expression is rooted in list.
* BoldModelOCLValidatorPlugIn.pas: OCL-plugin will now automatically
boldify the model before validation (would normally cause an AV
if model was not boldified).
* BoldUMLRose98Link.pas: Bugfix: Rose-export now handles broken
generalizations (that could be a result of manually modifying
a boldified model and then unboldifying it).
* BoldDatabaseAdapterDBIsam.pas: fixed initialization of
database engine to dbeDBISAM.
* BoldEnvironment.pas: Fixed problem with occasional AV
when terminating the pplication before the queue was finalized.
* BoldMD5.pas: Fixed problem with calculating checksum
for 63 byte long messages (would cause range-error if
compiled with rangechecks).
=======================================================
=======================================================
Other Changes:
* BoldSystem: Added a parameter to BoldSystem.FetchLinksWithObjects
to retrieve the list of objects that were fetched as a result of the call.
* BoldAbstractModel (QC#3281): AbstractModel now has ComponentStyle
set to not include csInheritable. It is thus no longer possible
to inherit it using form inheritance.
* BoldUMLModelEditForm (QC#2811): The treeview has a min width constraint = 200
to avoid resizing issues.
* BoldUMLModelEditForm (QC#2812): The checkboxes get hint = caption at form create.
* BoldGeneratorTemplatesDelphi: Improved instructions regarding generating .tlb-files.
* BoldSystem: Added errormessage when calling Memberfactory with a
type that does not have an installed delphi type.
* BoldPersistenceHandleFile: Added detection of trying to fetch an object that
does not exist in the file (would cause StackOverflow before).
* BoldIBInterfaces: Improved errormessage when login dialog
is required but missing in application.
* BoldBase: Moved IFDEFs in TBoldMemoryManagedObject to allow
non SCALA users to define BOLD_DISABLEMEMORYMANAGER.
* BoldGen: Moved private virtual method InitializeTemplateForComponent
to protected section.
* BoldUMLMMLink: Added rudimentary export support in the sense
that the BLD-file is pushed over to MM. There is, however, no one
there to handle it!
* BoldUMLXMIImporter: Now supporting visibility scope package to be
interpreted as public.
* BoldUMLModelSupport: When Boldifying a model, any association that
has a transient end or a transient association class will be marked as transient.
* BoldValueSpaceInterfaces: BoldApplyPartialValueSpace now takes a parameter
to ignore specified persistence states (default is bvpsInvalid, same as before)
* BoldSQLDatabaseConfig.pas: Added "Description" as a reserved word for DBISAM.
* BoldOclSymbolImplementations.pas: Operations toUpper and toLower now uses
AnsiUpperCase/AnsiLowerCase.
* BoldMetaSupport.pas: Improved support for more parameter types when
generating COM-adapters for business classes methods.
* BoldGeneratorTemplatesDelphi.pas: Added support for out-parameters
in COM-deaders.
* BoldDefaultTaggedValues.pas: upped pty version to 6.4.
* Bfd.pty: added missing enum value defaultregionmode independent cascade.
* BoldBld.pas: added initalization of visibility for bld-files < version 16.
* BoldUMLModelEdit.pas: method FindFormForBoldModel made public.
