Ad, The blogs are fine and are helpful but they’re no substitute for a proper reference of changes for each version. It’s really important for us to be able to clearly and easily see which changes are in each R version, not just major versions. And you can’t do this from the blog.
Jeremy pointed out that there’s a What’s New link on the Language reference page of the online docs and that’s great, but it’s not implemented very well. And I can’t download a PDF for reference later on. For example, where are the Upgrade References for the v15 R versions? It’s all combined into one doc and I don’t see anything that tells me which version a particular feature appeared in. For example, changes to the Query Editor: http://docs.4d.com/4Dv15/4D/15/Query-editor.300-2005957.en.html R2, R3, R4 or R5? It doesn’t say. And for v14 there’s no upgrade manual at all in the doc center, either for the regular line or the R releases. I happen to know that the ability to assign the id_added_by_converter field was added in v14R3 because I have the PDF upgrade manual for that but it’s no longer in the doc center. ------------------------------------------------ Richard Wright DataDomain rwri...@datadomainsoftware.com ------------------------------------------------ > Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2017 17:11:58 +0000 > From: Add Komoncharoensiri <akomoncharoens...@4d.com> > > Hi everyone, > > I can understand the confusion.
