====== What is New in Dinamica EGO 7.8.0 ======

(ChangeLog compared to [[what_is_new_7_7_0|7.7.0]].)

===== Dinamica NUI (Application Graphical User Interface) =====

  * Comments.

  * Definition of method to return the script in the EGO Script or XML representation automatically.

  * Changed how the clipboard (copy and paste) works:
    - //Now it is possible copy the textual representation (EGO or XML) of a script fragment from any other application and paste it inside a script editor.//
    - //Now is possible to copy the textual representation (EGO or XML) of a script to the system clipboard.//
    - //Changed the behavior of the clipboard icon: now it indicates if the application is controlling or not the system clipboard.//

  * Refactoring: use of refactored version of dinamica.utils.Clipboard

  * Fixed ScriptReaderUtils exceptions to be related to parsing only.
 
  * System clipboard pasting code now correctly report parsing errors when parsing text representing script fragments.

  * Generation of the String representing the script in EGO format now can use a set of Options to fine tune additional aspects of the generation.

  * Generation of the submodel tooltip using development mode now uses the application Options to fine tune additional aspects of the text generation.

  * Copy of the script representation to the system clipboard now uses the application Options to control additional aspects of the text generation when the EGO format is being used.

  * Removed unused method.

  * Refactoring and fixed some compilation warnings.

  * Refactoring: Generalizing runtime issues to cover more than just fatal errors.

  * Refactored definition of method replaceScheduler() to be static.

  * Defined method [isStillValid()] to verify if the internal C++ functor representation still exists.

  * Fixed comment.

  * Fixed bug where a permanent issue could be incorrectly declared invalid and removed from the issue panel; refactoring.

  * Definition of additional method to test the equivalence between two functors using the source and grand source id properties.

  * Avoid creating temporary object when retrieving the source and grand source id property of a functor.

  * Enabled issue reporting during execution; Refactoring; Improved the handling of permanent issues (used to present runtime issues).

  * Fixed warning about variable hiding field.

  * Formatting.

  * Defined constant as final.

  * Added method toString() to help with debugging.

  * Fixed assertion that could trigger under some unspecified circumstances.

  * Changed the retrieval of "equivalent" functors to be simpler and more general: now only one "source functor id" is used and functors from the same "mold" always share the same "source functor id".

  * Fixed bug where the runtime errors where not being presented in the functor action bar.

  * Refactor instance monitor by eliminating the need for initialization when communication is aborted.


===== Dinamica Image Viewer =====

  * (None)


===== Dinamica NUI Utils (Graphical User Interface Utilities) =====

===== Dinamica (Application Core and DLLs) =====

  * Remove cache from iostream operations when reading/writing maps.

  * Enabled issue reporting during execution using the log system.

  * Added flag to prevent issue from being reported from a log message under certain circumstances.

  * Avoid reporting a issue for all containers of a functor when the functor itself reports an fatal error.

  * Changed the retrieval of "equivalent" functors to be simpler and more general: now only one "source functor id" is used and functors from the same "mold" always share the same "source functor id".

  * Fixed Linux compilation error introduced in commit #16fcc00 : Included 'MAY_REPORT_ISSUE' flag in the logMessage method.

  * Fixed compilation error introduced in commit #3ae14aa : Replaced the use of flag 'SWF_DONT_WRITE_FUNCTOR_ID_PROPERTIES' with 'SWF_DONT_WRITE_SOURCE_FUNCTOR_ID_PROPERTIES'.

  * Updated version to 7.8.0.

  * Fixed compilation warning on Linux cause by typo.

  * Updated copyright date.

  * Changed how the log folder is defined on Linux when using the command line tool.

  * Allow the log folder name to also be stored in the config file (Linux) or registry (Windows).

  * Fixed compilation error that was being reported as a compilation warning.

  * Changed the development scripts to set the log folder on Linux when running the console or the tests.

  * Fixed error where the script filename passed to the development console would not expand relative paths properly.


===== Dinamica (Installer) =====

  * Updated version to 7.8.0.

  * Updated copyright date.

     - //Fixed issue where the log folder was not being defined for the graphical interface.//

   * Fixed several bugs when running the command line tool:
     - //Fixed error where the folder containing the execution log was being created inside the read-only runtime filesystem of the AppImage;//
     - //Script files being executed are also properly expanded to refer to the files outside the read-only runtime filesystem.//
     - //Refactoring to make changing the execution script easier.//
