3.26.01 Cancelled

[FHannes]

I've decided to cancel the release of SCAR Divi 3.26.01 and move on directly to 3.27.00 in the near future, I'm hoping to push out this release this week. The reason for doing this is that 3.26.00 has so far not shown any major issues that need immediate resolving. All issues that have been found will of course be fixed in 3.27.00. The first beta release of 3.27.00 will be uploaded today. The current changelog:

Bugfixes:
- TPAChain and TPAChainEx did not always return the correct result

Improvements:
- Some noob-proofing
- Tweaked parts of the core library
- Additional stability

Additions:
- Shortkey for the bitmap picker
- SCAR327_UP directive
- Deprecated keyword for regular functions

 

As you can see in the changelog, I've added in the deprecated keyword for regular functions. This means that if you have a function you're leaving in for backwards compatibility, you can tell the user that it is no longer preferred to use it by adding "deprecated;".

 

procedure Asdf; deprecated;

begin

end;

 

If a function like this is used, it will show a compiler warning:

Symbol 'Asdf' is deprecated

 

You can also add a deprecation message:

 

procedure Asdf; deprecated 'The function is outdated, use AsdfNew';

begin

end;

 

Which will display as:

Symbol 'Asdf' is deprecated: 'The function is outdated, use AsdfNew'
