Version 2.54 Gold: Released August 9, 2011

• Fix for 16385 size logfiles (was chopping off the last char in a 16385 logfile).

Version 2.53 Gold: Released July 13, 2011

• Support for FM3 4.92 (FM3Upgrading and FM3SettingVar threaded, so moved to the ThisRep class  - from the global unthreaded class).
• Assert (debug mode) if no GUIDKey is found on a table.

Version 2.52 Gold: Released January 26, 2011

• Fix regression in 2.51 - %ABCGlobalsDefinedExternal was not always defined.

Version 2.51 Gold: Released January 11, 2011

• Support for Clarion 7.3 projection.
• Don't project cwutil.clw if exported externally.
• Support for INSERT in the ReplicateFileChange code template.
• Replicate_CreateSite control template supports a specific ini file directory default.
• Replicate_CreateSite control template places non-standard incoming directory in the child site ini for direct rep sites.
• Template - use %ReplicateObject instead of ThisRep for all instances of referring to the Replicate class.

Version 2.50 Gold: Released August 25, 2010

• Debug to logfile for service apps (LogManagers). Also logs errors in copying.
• SelfService tpl support - automatically codes 'DebugToFile' when LM is running as a service.
• SelfService tpl support - CheckDirectory does not perform directory check if a UNC path is tested. Leave for the copy to fail, so that error handling can be reported.
• Added embed points to the procedure routines in the ControlCenterServer template.
• Documented LM support in a Service (see here)

Version 2.49 Gold: Released August 19, 2010

• Tpl work around for C7.2  - Was not projecting the correct dos driver always, so use C70dos%X%%L% for both local and stand-alone compiles.
• Added name attribute to the Encrypt class procedures and methods (resolve clash with NetTalk in C7.2 in local-mode)
• New method - Lock - handles locking of files with appropriate error handling.
• Tpl change - ReplicateControlCenterServer control template has a tpl switch to disable code generation.
• Work around for C7 not supporting routines declared in a local class procedure.

Version 2.48 Gold: Released April 27, 2010

• Tpl fix  - Was not restoring TimeBetweenTransactions between sessions.

Version 2.47 Gold: Released January 18, 2010

Key Features: Rollback call addedin FunctionDone method. GetGUID method changed to only include alphanumeric chars, and $ char. Fix for Clarion7.1.

• Object change - call to self.rollback added in the functiondone method. Derived template code to rollback changes.
• GetGuid method changed - only uses alphanumeric chars (upper and lower case) and $. Java compatible - and strings don't have to be binary in SQL backends.
• AddToLog - default number of tries changed from 10 to 20 (Template change allows you to change this at the template level)
• PrimeSiteField - duplicate external method name removed from the one method (causing error in C7.1 compiler)
• MySQL support - verify connection before writing change support.  If a connection times out, then the connection must be re-opened before writing.
• Default time between process times - tpl can allow user to override time (and save overriden time or not).

Version 2.46 Gold: Released June 11, 2009

Key Features: Memory leak fix, use Site Alias file for Replicate methods in the LogManager.

• Template option and class implementation to cater for a working REGET in the MSSQL callback (was not working up until 9057).
• Template can use an alias file for the sitefile (in the LogManager to prevent the browse from getting confused).
• Fix - AutoProcessLogFiles calls close for the sitefile when done processing.
• Template Tweak - LogManager Controller template (for your application) - allows handcoded call to start the Logmanager
• Fix - includes the cwutil.inc file if it's not already included. Older versions of C6 included this automatically.
• Template change - remove superfluous SiteFileField prompts in the template.
• Class change - DeRegisterByID called by the DeRegister and Kill methods. Duplicate code, was not completely duplicated, causing a memory leak.
• Class change - incorrect syntax when verifying if a file was extant in the archive directory (when using the archive function, and recalling an archived file).

Version 2.45Gold: Released November 26, 2008

• Fix template regression in 2.44

Version 2.44 Gold: Released November 26, 2008

• Tweaks for Clarion 7: includes the cwutil and various lib files required.

Version 2.43 Gold: Released November 10, 2008

• Clarion 7 compatible install.

Version 2.42 Gold: Released October 23, 2008

• zLib Class Change - prefix variables and filenames with zLib: - make the names unique.
• Class change - free internal queues - reduce pointers (to internal queues and handle variables)
• Class change - omit the '/' char from GUID generation (this is the escape key in SQL).
• Class change - Checkdirectory supports cstring or string (depending on the field used in the dct) - was taking an any handle. Suspected memory leak.
• Template Fix - support for Clarion7
• Template change - FTP windows use the Replicate object setting (not another template setting).
• Template change - remove the 'Do Send and Receive together' option. Obsolete.

Version 2.41 Gold: Released February 7, 2008

• Class Fix - GPF in criticalsection - was disposing while another thread was in a wait. CriticalSection is changed from pointer to a class, removing the need for new and dispose.

Version 2.40 Gold: Released January 22, 2008

• Template Fix - FTP - if timeout on a quit/connection close - then the FTP window was not closing.

Version 2.39 Gold: Released August 31, 2007

• GetGUID method changed - only generates GUIDs with printable characters in the field. This is a workaround for the Clarion browse duplicates issue - but saves helps by removing the requirement for SQL GUIDs to be binary (so they can be char fields).
• Handles MSSQL duplicate errors (i.e. errorcode 90) correctly.
• New class property - methodname, which (if set) will log into the logfile from which method the logfile entry was made.
• Template Fix - check for RepGLO:Site is no longer case sensitive.
• Template Fix - when Replicate was adding files (from relationships to replicatable tables) - the RepSuppress was not being checked for.
• Template Fix for FTP - remove old temp files (from mysite) when uploading (from old failed uploads).
• Template Fix - Add FilePrefix to browse variable. Removes ambiguity.
• Template Fix - don't assert on arrays that are over a non-dimensioned field (replicate does not support arrays - but arrays over another field are fine).

Version 2.38 Gold: Released February 27, 2007

• Fix - memory leak (when inserting a record into logfiles, the created string was not always disposed)
• Fix - requesting records in a CRC check was limited to 64KB of requests. Allow request file to be built up until RC check is finished, and then sent.

Version 2.37 Gold: Released February 5, 2007

• Fix - memory leak
• Template Change - template created loc variables are generated with RepLoc prefix (instead of Loc).

Version 2.36 Gold: Released January 25, 2007

• Fix regression in 2.35 - trying to include a Secwin4 include file.

Version 2.35 Gold: Released January 24, 2007

• Fix - new LogManagers did not have %LogSite template variable in history (only for those creating an LM without the TemplateUtility).
• Fix - Some Multi-DLL settings.
• Template change - if SiteFile defaults weren't set (when Replicate was added before adding the SiteFile to the dictionary) - then SiteFile settings will be added to the application.
• Template change - set ProcessThread variable in AfterWindowOpening and clear in AfterWindowClosing embed points.
• Template change - disable Export Site button if CRC and Sync controls are disabled at the child as well.
• New template to generate include file for table declarations (used in an external DLL to generate an include to be used for Replicate support in an external DLL).
• Fix - CRC check - was only requesting the first few hundred different records.
• Class change - allow command line setting of Number of tries (inserting into logfile).

Version 2.34 Gold: Released September 11, 2006

• Added a property to enable the procedurename to be logged with the log entry in the logfile.

Version 2.33 Gold: Released August 17, 2006

• In some legacy apps, %FirstFileDone template variable was not being declared in time.

Version 2.32 Gold: Released July 26, 2006

• Improved documentation for Calculated values.
• Implemented StampVersion into default clw (to show what version Replicate is compiled with)

Version 2.31 Gold: Released July 25, 2006

• Fix - for CStrings - was not stamping in file when only a space added to the end of a CString.

Version 2.30 Gold: Released July 24, 2006

Upgrading from 2.03 or before? Check out the Upgrade note in FAQ U10

Version 2.22 beta: Released July 18, 2006

• Added a parameter to the IgnoreField method to indicate what action the Replicate class is performing on the table.

Version 2.21 beta: Released July 11, 2006

• Regression in 2.19 - was not storing Memo history variables, so memo values were being written into logfiles, even if no change occurred.

Version 2.20 beta: Released July 11, 2006

• Fix for CSTRINGs - was clipping them instead of using the length (this meant that trailing spaces were chopped off).

Version 2.19 beta: Released July 4, 2006

• Improved documentation for Calculated Totals in application
• Improved examples (included a Calculated Totals, as well as the LogManager Controlled from the application).
• New Property in the tables q - LastRecordStr and StoreMemos and RestoreMemos methods added.
• StoreBuffer is no longer called immediately prior to the record deletion in logfile import.
• StoreMemos,RestoreMemos and LastRecordStr are used in the duplicate checking rather than StoreBuffer and RestoreBuffer - this means that the original values before the import are preserved for use after the file action (for handling totals, etc).
•  

Version 2.18 beta: Released June 26, 2006

• Fix - Regression in 2.15 - if deriving a method, SetFamily was not called in OpenFile correctly to determine ABC or legacy application (in Clarion6.0 applications).

Version 2.17 beta: Released June 22, 2006

• Fix - Regression in 2.15 for applications where the SiteFile is suppressed (from Replication) - a GPF occured.
• If a file is not registered, and Replicate tries to open it - was GPFing in ABC applications. Now displays a warning (if warning messages are enabled). Using an old version could exhibit this type of behaviour (where a file is used in the logfile, but is not registered in the LogManager).

Version 2.16 beta: Released June 21, 2006

• Fix - for archiving feature. The Replicate enabled application checks the archive directory for subsequent logfiles before creating them.
• StoreBuffer method takes 3 parameters (allowing you to perform some action prior to the change being imported into the database).

Version 2.15 beta: Released June 20, 2006

• Common equate used for maximum number of support fields in a file (uses MaxNoOfFields - currently set to 512).
• CRC File check fix - in some cases was including suppressed fields in a CRC check.
• Optimized File CRC check - uses array to determine fields suppressed (instead of looping through a queue each time)
• Fix - was trying to include c55util.inc in Clarion6.0 applications.
• Template File Q - was not allowing sortable table order. Changed to numbered template q.
• Fix - when using the tables list as the list to replicate, was populating the tables twice.
• Fix - If WinEvent is not added to the LogManager Controller, then don't use the ds_HideWindow function.
• Fix - external graphics copy (where using a global variable for the path) - the embed point was in the incorrect place (regression from an earlier version of Replicate 1.62) - was checking for existence before the variable was set.

Version 2.14 beta: Released June 14, 2006

• Tweak to support increased fields in version 2.13.

Version 2.13 beta: Released June 12, 2006

• Increased max number of fields in a single table that Replicate supports from 255 to 512.

Version 2.12 beta: Released May 24, 2006

• Template fix - improved implementation of LogManager control from your application (does not require WinEvent Add icon to taskbar). Check out Shutting down the LogManager from your application for more details.

Version 2.11 beta: Released May 18, 2006

• Template fix - for LogManager that uses the Data DLL of the application. If Compression and\or Encryption was turned off, then the LogManager was not importing the log files.
• Template and class change - callback de-activated in the LogManager (except for the SiteFile where it is required to be replicated) as no file changes need to be detected (all changes to the logfiles are written directly to the logfile when a logfile is imported). If you have other routines in the LogManager, then you need to check the Force All file logging in the LogManager (on the Advanced tab of the Replicate global extension template of your LogManager). This makes for a huge speed increase in importing and exporting logfiles.
• Class change - CRC import optimized - GUID field is uppered (when generating into the CRC file output) - which means that when searching for the GUID field, it is no need to upper the FileString when searching for the end tag.
• Class change - don't CRC an alias file.
• Class change - length of string variable used in FileCRC in order to minimize the use of Clip when comparing strings.
• Class change - in CompareCRC, if the SiteID stamp is missing from the logfile, then use the CRClogfile name (first 4 chars).
• Template and property change - property to ignore the abort received from the ControlCenterServer (IOW - if you want to be able to turn this control on\off at runtime for specific sites).

Version 2.10 beta: Released April 5, 2006

• Template fix - was setting BLOB size to 0 when adding a record to a file that was not autonumbered by the dictionary (i.e. on SQL backends).
• Template change - removed tahoma font setting on the template prompts (for legibility on non-ClearType machines).

Version 2.09 beta: Released January 25, 2006

• Object Fix (GetGUID) - regression introduced in 2.04 - was possible to have duplicate GUIDs.

Version 2.08 beta: Released January 20, 2006

• Template Fix for Clarion63 (was linking in the incorrect file driver c63dosx.lib instead of c60dosx.lib).

Version 2.07 beta: Released December 22, 2005

• FileCrypt - file encryption moved to the encrypt class.
• EncryptString, DecryptString methods deprecated.
• Template change - Tables to Log (In Data Tables tab) - checks for duplicate entries, as well as disabling Sitefile entry and tables with the RepSuppress UserOption added in the dictionary.
• Template change - Re-populate list with all files allows easy complete list population (of the dictionary tables).
• Template change - the order of the Tables to Log list is the order that the tables are exported to the logfile (when a fullexport is executed).
• Template change - if exclusive file access for manual import is selected, then flush after each table is imported (instead of a flush at the end).

Version 2.06 beta: Released December 9, 2005

• Fix - also use Stream and Flush in legacy applications when requiring exclusive access for database tables when performing a manual logfile import.

Version 2.05 beta: Released December 5, 2005

• Fix - regression introduced in 2.04 - flush removed from insert method could cause unsequential entries into the logfile.
• Fix - when using Email (and not FTP) - was not entering the email address correctly into the respective field in the sitefile in the AutoCreateChild routine.

Version 2.04 beta: Released December 2, 2005

• Optimized some of the procedures (AUTO on LocParameters in the Filecallback methods, pass string from Import to ProcessLine so that we can use implicit string array instead of clip for importing, extra lower string created in ProcessLine, so that we don't have to keep lowering the passed string)
• GetGUID method changed to support OEM collated files (OEM converts strings to ANSI, so the GUID fields were being converted, and incorrect entries were appearing in the logfiles). The GetGUID method now only uses OEM neutral characters to ensure no corruptions.
• Change exclusive access to stream and flush (rather than logout and commit) when manually importing (much quicker). OpenFile method changed to receive a parameter as to whether shared access or exclusive file access is required.
• LogDataSize is changed to 16382 (from 4096). 
• ProcessWindowControls template fixed (where controls that aren't required are deleted - don't reference these controls in the template generated code)

Version 2.03 beta: Released November 21, 2005

• cszlib Fix - clears the error flag at the start of compression and uncompression (in case of previous error occurance). 
• Change - Export to new child can be suppressed (from being logged). First import file is changed to xxxxdatf.log (was xxxxdata.log like a normal complete export). Set in AutoCreateChild control template.
• New method - ProcessLogFiles (handles the complete process instruction that used to be template generated code).
• Fix for dimensioned fields within a dimensioned group.
• Fix - MakeMissingLogFiles for legacy (was using ABC code in certain cases).
• Template change - ProcessLogFiles, Export, Import, CRC Check and Sync control templates have been merged into one template The ProcessWindowControls Control Template and will be superannuated in the gold release.
• Utility template structure changed - 2 new utility templates to facilitate importing of peripheral windows (as apposed to the entire LogManager).
• Template fix - was using ThisRep and ThisRepGlobal in some code (instead of the template variable)

Version 2.02 beta: Released October 21, 2005

• Fix - When Replicate is inactive GPFing on a second call to a thread (exposed by the inited property moving to the global class in 1.99). 

Version 2.01 beta: Released October 20, 2005

• Feature - Supports LogManager control from a menu in your application (new extension template LogManager Control from Application which you can add to a procedure). This makes it easy to abort, pause and start auto-processing from your application. Check out the new examples in the clarionx\3rdparty\examples\Replicate\ControlLMWithAPP.
• Fix - if not close on Abort in processing, then reset the AbortNow property when processing is aborted.
• Fix LogManager - if Processing, then don't close down until abort is finished.
• Feature LogManager - if required, the LogManager closes when app/controller closes.

Version 2.00 beta: Released October 18, 2005

• Feature - Supports abort in processing (new property in global settings class).
• Changes as a result: Don't save filename if aborted (and returned blank filename), CopyIn takes an option parameter - deleteafter copying, only if import is successful, otherwise (if aborted) the file is left in in the incoming directory, to be imported next time. ProcessLogFiles code template change - allow LogManager to be closed after processing when abort is received in mid-process. On abort, progress is saved where the logfile is aborted at, so that import begins at the correct place next time.
• Fix - legacy template caused accepted embed on some buttons to be removed.
• Feature - New debug properties that you can set at runtime (also new control template to set these properties). Makes debugging much simpler.
• Optimization - only enter FileCallback methods for the opCodes that we're interested in (otherwise bail out immediately).
• Change - Allow incrementing/decrementing of flags in SetGlobalSetting method (use '+' and '-').
• New control template - Local LogManager Controller controls (control the LogManager externally - making process abort seamless). New template utility to create this external application.
• ControlCenterClient template redesigned to be on the Frame (although still backward compatible) - allows control of the processing from a different thread.
• New Global class property - 'Processing' set and cleared before and after processing (to indicate to other threads whether the LM is processing.
• ControlCenterServer - abort, show and hide controls added.
• ControlCenter (Client and Server) - allow option not to save session to an INI file (i.e. use fixed values).
• Control Templates (ControlCenter) - allow deletion of controls (if not required) - template code gets omitted for controls that are deleted.
• ControlCenterServer template connect button rtn fixed - was disabling Process and GetStatus buttons as well.

Version 1.99 beta: Released October 5, 2005

• Fixed regression in 1.92 which was a workaround to cater for the FileCallback bug in Clarion6 - which introduced problem with  hanging in Clarion6 (because of thread locking). FileCallback moved back to the threadedclass, and the necessary properties are moved from the threaded class to arrays (one for each thread) in the GlobalClass. Properties affected (at this stage) are inited, inside, logoff, and TempOpened. New property - ThisThread to store the thread of the current class. This means that no critical section is required in the FunctionCallback - which eliminates the hanging. C55 coding is affected, but not operation stays as normal.
• Fixed - if replicate is disabled (for GUID generation only) - then inside property was not being reset after the active property test in the filecallback - causing no GUID generation.
• Template Fix - populate template files q immediately before registering files - affects where relating files are suppressed (or IMDD tables).
• Template Fix - %RtnParameter routine caters for functions.
• Change - yield() in CloseLogFile routine (in open method).
• Fix - if derived code in FileChange method makes changes to a table, then upon returning, self.q's buffer is refreshed to contain the original file changed.
• New - omit specific records from Replicate - ignorefield is included into GUID testing, enabling a record (based on a GUID) to be ignored.

Version 1.98 beta: Released August 30, 2005

• Fixed regression in 1.96 - was causing Clarion IDE GPF when going to global embeds - WinEvent build variable will be moved to system variable (so that test does not cause GPF).
• Fix - returning ANYs was not a good idea as the memory was not being freed - LogManager (in particular) - was eating more and more memory. Created strings returned and disposed (using the _StringHandle property) at the calling procedure. Methods affected: Insert, PrimeString, Export, SearchAndReplace. Note: If you are calling these methods in handcode, then you need to dispose the returned string 
• Fix - ANYs cleared before returned (to free up memory).
• Change - GetGlobalSetting returns a string (rather than an ANY) - in order to prevent memory leakage.
• Fix regression in 1.96 - no break out of loop when file is missing and not created.
• Change - Status of Error message 30 downgraded to warning (rather than critical) - because mechanisms in place to create missing logfiles.

Version 1.97 beta: Released August 17, 2005

• Fixed regression in 1.96 - was asserting in Site-related tables, even for non-Site distributed site-trees.
• Fixed error in CRC check where no records exist in a table at one site (but are at another).
• Fixed error in Site-related data where number of records in a table (at parent) shouldn't match number of records in a site's table.

Version 1.96 beta: Released August 16, 2005

NB: For those who've derived and handcoded the IgnoreTables method,
you need to apply the changes to this method (using the pImporting parameter).

What's Changed:

• Feature - runtime setable directional suppression.
• Feature - optional automate CRC check issued on missing logfile (requires WinEvent) (previously was either synchronising or making a blank logfile).
• Fix - bestkey (site key) - searches for first unique key that has a site-related component (as it's primary) before searching through duplicate keys. Site-related tables must have at least one key (preferably unique) with the Site field as the primary component - and this key must be in the backend (FM3 can disable key generation in the database, although it can exist on the app end).
• Fix - if LogManager a previous logfile is deleted/corrupted, and no succeeding logfiles have been sent, then don't wait for request from relating site (as none will be generated).
• You require WinEvent version 3.29 (at least) for new LogManager apps that use WinEvent.

Details:

• Template code for CRC check with other site moved into a method.
• Class change - new OmitFileQ - stores a list of files to omit, including direction.
• Methods changed - RegisterSuppressed (includes a directional parameter, and allows fields to be omitted, thereby pertaining to the whole table), IgnoreTable (includes directional parameter), MakeMissingLogFiles (includes a site parameter that requested the missing logfiles).
• New method - DoCRCWithSite. Replaces superannuated template generated code.
• IgnoreTable is also called from the Export method. IgnoreTable method cycles through the OmitFileQ to see whether the file is disabled from importing or exporting.
• Fix - deRegister does not dispose the file q, also deregisters the callback for the deregistered file.
• Added yields into those windows that were yield free.

Version 1.95 beta: Released August 8, 2005

What's Changed:

• Fixed - Receiving a PauseTimer/StartTimer from the ControlCenterServer, posts an event to PauseTimer control instead of just changing the state of the variable.
• Fixed - Clears arrays before importing - regression caused previous values to be continued to a next entry (where those values were clear).

Version 1.94 beta: Released July 22, 2005

What's Changed:

• Fixed - ReceiveFTPControls does not was Replicate vars in the template (in order to support external use). Allows window to be hidden. 
• Fixed - %SendFTPSilent unknown variable error in ReceiveFTPControls control template.
• Feature - Added progress bar to SendFTPControls template
• Workaround for %RepDefaultTransportList error.
• Feature - template assert generated when SendFTP or ReceiveFTP procedure parameters are incorrect.

Version 1.93 beta: Released July 13, 2005

What's Changed:

• Fixed a bug in the encryption routine. 

Version 1.92 beta: Released July 12, 2005

Note: For Clarion55 users - you will see an error message the first time you open your LogManager:
Unknown Variable: '%RepDefaultTransportList'
Please don't be concerned about this - basically in C55 a #prepare (where this variable is declared) is only run after
the variable is assigned for template use.

What's Changed:

• Interface (to Function callback class) moved to global class (for Clarion6). This is because the methods are always called on thread 1.
• Receive and Send FTP control templates are not dependant on the existence of Replicate (genericized). Uses Replicate properties if Replicate is in existence.
• Only call Quit from SendFTP or ReceiveFTP if the connection was opened - otherwise just close the window.
• Improved CreateSite control template - Adapts Global Template settings to display selective controls on the window and force settings where necessary. Also expanded to allow Oneway Replicate selection.

Details:

• If no files to transfer, then generate error message (if required).
• New method (in GlobalClass: EquateLocalClass) to assigned the GlobalClass's pointer to the correct local class.
• FunctionDone and FunctionCalled locked - EquateLocalClass is called immediately after the lock.

Version 1.91 beta: Released June 23, 2005

What's Changed:

• Fixes Auto-Create missing logfiles (if no archiving is used).
• CreateChild control template supports Replicate Direction Selection and template selected Site Data Range Selection.

Details:

• Fix MoveFiles method - When moving files out, first check if exists, before StampEOF and attempting to copyout.
• Fix GetFromArchive method - parent call changed to return 1 (error getting from archive). If no archiving, then error is generated. (Template generated code returns 0 when successful before calling the parent method)
• Fix RestoreBackup method was expecting a 1 if GetFromArchive was successful - should have been expecting 0 for success.
• Change - MakeMissingLogFiles makes all missing logfiles, even if the 'Full Export to first missing logfile' is unchecked.
• TPL Change - support for DontSendFiles flag addition to the MSG file.
• TPL fix - DontSendFiles was not sending CRC check message files to relating sites.
• Change ConnectionDetails method - allows a flag to determine if the new site's DontSendFiles flag must be set or not.

Version 1.90 beta: Released June 16, 2005

What's Changed:

• Fix for Control Center Client\Server - implements poling to ensure the communication line is sustained between client and server.

Version 1.89 beta: Released June 15, 2005

What's Changed:

• New Feature - CRC database comparison and limited synchronisation (addition of WinEvent and the CRC Check control template required in your LogManager).

Details:

• Template fix - LoadFileToString returns -1 if error loading a file to a string.
• Template fix - CRCCheck stipulates if site range is used (call to FileCRC method).
• Class Fix - Import method sets siteID correctly if not automatic import (i.e. data or datc import).
• Class Fix - RestoreBuffer in HandlePotentialDuplicates whether duplicate found or not.
• New Method - GUIDFieldToString takes a GUID value and converts to a string.
• Class Fix - FileCRC - don't apply site limit if SiteLow is set, but SiteHi is; Clear RxCRC and FoundThere flags if not in requesting database. 
• LoadCRCStringToQ - clear FoundHere and OurCRC flags when importing CRC request file.
• CompareCRCFile - free CRCCheckQ after comparing; open and close data files where necessary.

Version 1.88 beta: Released June 9, 2005

• Template fix - move setting of cszLib.silent property to where it's set in each thread (instead of once).
• cszLib (v1.14) fix - for when attempting to get a record that is held.
• Default SendEmail and ReceiveEmail procedures (in the Global Extension template)
• Template fix for Clarion 6.2 (an ABC class property is made private)
• Template fix for IMDD file (where IMDD is written back to the file). Logging is disabled.
• New methods (csLog): RestoreBuffer, PrimeString ; (csLogManager): StringToFile, FileCRC, RestoreGUID, AssignQueue, DisposeQueues, CompareCRCFile, LoadCRCStringToQ, LoadFileToString, ImportDataSet, ImportCRCDataSet. These methods are all in place to support complete CRC database comparison (future feature - which requires WinEvent).
• Template fix where NoOfFilesRequested is not used (causing a compile error).
• Template change - force FTP to make directory.
• Template change - SendFTP and ReceiveFTP source procedures have been moved to control templates.
• Template fix - If AllowFTP is unchecked, then when auto-creating a direct child site, the directory was not filled into the respective field in the SiteFile.
• MoveFilesIn method change - Cater for receiving CRC files and Data generated from CRC request files.
• Import method change - Cycle in import loop (for a specific site) if EndOfFile on the last file imported - otherwise break out. 
• ProcessLine method change - cater for CRC datafile clash (with existing file) - duplicates should be deleted at the slave site - so that imported records will be added correctly.
• RestoreGUID functionality moved to a method (for re-usability purposes).
• PrimeLog method superannuated (although still supported for backward compatibility) with the PrimeString method.
• GUIDFieldToText - allow an extratag to be added into the GUID field tag.
• Requisition method - primary tag rectified when not Inform (where pInform parameter not omitted).
• ReceiveRequest method - modified to cater for CRC request file.
• Open method - parameter added to force a new file creation.

Version 1.87 beta: Released April 20, 2005

• Template change - a template option to generate GUIDs only (i.e. make Replicate inactive). 
• New method - CriticalErrorInImport - allows you to programmatically override critical errors in order to continue importing should an error be non-critical.

Version 1.86 beta: Released April 15, 2005

• Template change - use TryUpdate instead of update (v1.85 did not replace all instances of Updatein the template).

Version 1.85 beta: Released April 14, 2005

• Template fix - variable syntax error in ControlCenterServer.
• Template change - use TryUpdate instead of update.

Version 1.84 beta: Released April 13, 2005

• Fix - cater for CRC pos when partially importing files (last pos included the CRC)
• Fix - abort import if critical file error occurs when applying logfile changes (last successful write pos is saved and logfile currently being imported is left in the incoming dir). ProcessLine method requires a progress variable, which it updates.
• Template Change - use TryOpen for files - also reset openmode if file open fails (bug in ABC code).
• Template Change - extra embed point in ControlCenterServer process code to handle customized commands.
• Fix - locking in commit (if committed and logfile EOF stamped, then new logfile was 'unlocked' and old file was left locked)
• Fix - check GlobalSettings pointer is still set before checking active property, otherwise a GPF will incur if the kill method is called twice.
• Fix - Set logpath to an absolute path if the path is relative (when logfilepath is set) - this means that changing the path at runtime won't effect a relative logfilepath setting.
• ControlCenter Client - sends Replicate version and Date and Time of last and next process logfiles.

Version 1.82 beta: Released April 6, 2005

• If compression fails - and this is an outgoing logfile, then remove the logfile from the outgoing\Site directory (otherwise the uncompressed logfile is sent).
• cszLib change - if open fails, then return an error. If file created, but not opened, then delete the file and return error.
• cszLib Change - if ErrorLogFile name property set, then log errors to the specified error file (the silent property must be set in order to do this).

Version 1.81 beta: Released March 31, 2005

• cszLib Improvement - retries open, close and create if initial error. 
• Fix ControlCenterServer template utility.
• Fix ControlCenterClient template reference to browse's queue.
• If NetTalk is disabled on the BrowseSites window or Replicate is disabled globally, then don't generate code for the ControlCenterClient.
• If an unknown Site connects - display and allow control over that site (for new sites).

Version 1.80 beta: Released March 30, 2005

• New Feature - Replicate ControlCenter (see UseFul Tips: Controlling the LogManager Externally).

Version 1.79 beta: Released March 24, 2005

• Template Fix - Optional Replication - support for legacy applications.
• Template Fix - compile error when using the AutoCreateChild site in a Non-FTP application.

Version 1.78 beta: Released March 23, 2005

• Template Fix - Multi-DLL (for optional Replication) - allow setup in template.
• Template Fix - LogManager template where LogManager uses the DataDLL (was not initializing).
• Template Fix - LogManager was not setting RepGLO:Site for optional Replication in a Multi-DLL setup.
• Template Fix - set Silent property (in cszLib class) when Warnings are suppressed in the template (this will suppress warnings in the zLib class as well).

Version 1.77 beta: Released March 18, 2005

• Feature - template to make optional Replicate activation simpler and easier (using Secwin).

Version 1.76 beta: Released March 14, 2005

• Fix - when SetGlobalSettings is called, if the global class pointer is not set, then set it (was causing GPF if class pointer wasn't set).

Version 1.75 beta: Released February 16, 2005

What's Changed:

• Fix - when writing to a logfile that is not open (exporting - leads to an error 63).

Details:

• In Open method - only reset self.opened if close(file) is successful. Retry if close fails.
• In Close method - only stamp EOF if file is open.
• New method - Insert to handle a generic insert to a logfile.
• Fix - If Commit is issued when the logfile is closed, then initial write fails.

Version 1.74 beta: Released February 14, 2005

What's Changed:

• Removed use of CSTRINGs (causing spurious errors) where not completely necessary.
• Fixed template error when using Status without the Status counters.

Version 1.73 beta: Released February 8, 2005

What's Changed:

• Fixed erroneous template variable.

Version 1.72 beta: Released February 2, 2005

What's Changed:

• Work-around for ASCII logfile viewer in example applications (bug in Clarion template was causing GPF) and txas.
• New method - GetGlobalSetting: a thread safe method for getting a global setting.

Version 1.71 beta: Released February 2, 2005

What's Changed:

• Fixed legacy GPF in Clarion6 applications.
• Install moves old examples to clarionx\3rdparty\examples\ReplicateOldEgs to avoid confusion with the new example structure.

Version 1.70 beta: Released January 31, 2005

What's Changed:

• Updated docs to reveal property changes and steps to change these properties.

Version 1.69 beta: Released January 27, 2005

What's Changed:

• Fix for Multiple EOF stamps at the end of a file (regression in 1.65)
• Fix for empty logfiles stamped (regression in 1.65).
• GlobalSettings class introduced into Clarion5.5 applications. Properties restructured (this will create some compile errors initially as some properties have changed from the threaded class to the Global class).

Details:

• RepGloClass changed to GlobalSettings class. Some properties that were global in the threaded class, are moved to the GlobalSettings class. Some global properties that will not change have a copied property in the Threaded class. This means that you can access these variables without locking the thread. The properties are copied in the Init method.
• Clarion5.5 also uses the GlobalSettings class (although both classes are unthreaded). This means that upgrading from C5.5 to C6 will require no changes (with regard to Replicate).
• New method (SetGlobalSetting) - used to set a global property. This makes the setting of GlobalSettings thread safe (in c6).
• CRC option removed - logfiles will always be stamped with a CRC. NoCheckEOFEveryTime removed as well - always check when writing to the logfile.
• CriticalSection object created (newed in Init if null).
• Fix - StampEOF was comparing to old empty logfile size, instead of XMl header as well. This means that blank logfiles are used.
• Fix - CheckEOF was checking the wrong file in some situations.
• Fix - CheckEOF was returning an invalid data if no file was found (rather return 0).
• Properties Affected: Moved from Threaded to Global Class (can be changed using the SetGlobalSetting method): TranslationFile, LogFileName, Silent, SuppressWarnings, SuppressCritical, active. Properties with copied to the Global Class (these are only set once at runtime): Machine, SiteFieldID, LogFilePath, Site, ParentSite, LogExtension, SettingsFile. Properties removed from the threaded class (obsolete): NoCheckEOFEveryTime, MakeXMLFiles, SettingEOF, StampCRC.

Version 1.68 beta: Released January 25, 2005

What's Changed:

• Full data export defaulted to 0 - creates problems for big sites where logfiles have been skipped.
• SiteSync - clears NoOfFilesRequested and LastLogFileNoRequested counter when a sync is issued for that site.
• Checks relating site's Outgoing Directory exists before doing an AutoExport.
• Resets flag if there is an error closing the logfile (i.e. not open, etc) - unless in the middle of logout and can't close the file.

Version 1.67 beta: Released January 21, 2005

What's Changed:

• You need to import the new LogManager routines (preferably create a new LogManager, or else do a partial import of the Replicate windows).

Details:

• Template - new compile flags for FTP: Exists, Overridable, ShowSettings; and StatusFlag existant.
• Template - correct embed point for hiding controls in SiteSettings control template.
• New template utilities (x2) - supercedes the previous template utilities (x6).
• New control template - AutoCreateChild site. This control template supercedes the old coded routine.

Version 1.66 beta: Released January 14, 2005

What's Changed:

• Fix - Moved LogFileNumber and LogFileDate priming into Configure method (was only checking in Open).
• StampEOF - if a 0 date is passed, then don't stamp EOF.
• Feature - handles file changes from sites with an old version. (Use the FM3 oldname attribute when changing a fieldname in order to utilize this feature).

Details:

• New method (ImportFullDataSet) to handle full data import.
• Changed TagReceived method to receive a long handle - the where ID in the record structure of the file. Caters for oldname setting in the template.

Version 1.65 beta: Released January 12, 2005

What's Changed:

• Status of relating logmanagers (and counter to indicate the amount of times logfiles are requested from each relating site).
• Before moving requesting logfiles out, check to make sure that they have an EOF stamp on. Fix to prevent an infinite loop between two logmanagers (waiting for a complete logfile).
• Includes version 2.07 of BDE.

Details:

• Closefile method takes a debug parameter (to show from where it was called)
• Template change - generate code for setting status stuff in SetStatusFlag derived method.
• Fix - use a created loc variable in GetArchive - because pathname required in decompression.
• New property - AutoMakeIfMissing. If Status flag is not used, then just make the logfiles if they are missing when requested.
• If StatusFlag is used, then returnstatus(2) if a requested logfile is not found.
• If a relating site's status is 2, then keep requesting them to make a logfile until we get the logfile.
• In derived SetNextNumber, reset Status flag to 0 of relating site.
• New methods: SetStatusFlag and ReturnStatus.
• Obsolete code templates deleted: ReplicateFileRequest and ReplicateSendRequest.
• In MoveFilesIn - set status flag if a file is missed.
• Fix - StampEOF was calling open with the RepLogFileName and not the generic name of the file that should be opened.
• Fix - CheckEOF was using the logfile, but should have been using it's own definition if the logfile required to check is not the logfile.
• ReceiveRequest method handles StatusFlagChange and MakeLogFile requests.
• GetFromArchive (parent) - should have been returning 0.

Version 1.64 beta: Released January 6, 2005

What's Changed:

• Automatic logfile reconstruction. If a logfile goes missing, this resulted in Replicate falling over - now resurrects itself.
• Fixed - could miss a StampEOF in certain circumstances.
• Fixed - if error adding to the logfile, then try call open() - to handle EOF stamp, etc
• Fixed - made StampEOF generic - which means that StampEOF does not use the logfile structure to stamp an EOF.
• Fixed occasional error when importing changes to a locked file.

Details:

• New methods - generic open (to open and stamp logfiles), stampEOF (stamp end of file into logfiles), CheckEOF (check end of file stamp in logfiles).
• New methods - GetLogFileHeader (returns the header for a logfile), GetLogFileFooter (returns the footer to be stamped at the end of a logfile) and MakeMissingLogFiles (makes any logfiles that are missing).
• AddToLog method changed - made generic to log to any file.
• GetFromArchive changed - can no longer create blank logfiles.
• Object change - put message when logfile cannot be found for export into a warning section.
• Object Change (GetSetting and AddSetting) - forces '\' onto dirs if they are not present.
• Object Change (Commit) - if error when adding, then call the open method.
• Object Change - made logfile properties (number, date and time)
• Object Change - in ReceiveRequest - was closing the logfile, but this is not required as we are not using the logfile.
• Upgraded Clarion5.5 versions to include the Global Settings object.

Version 1.63 beta: Released December 22, 2004

What's Changed:

• Important Fix - fixed sporadic logfile skipping.
• New feature - Status setting in LogManager to determine status of relating LogManagers.
• New Feature - auto-create a blank or complete logfile, if a logfile is missing.
• Important Fix - sometimes site was not being processed to.
• Important Fix - allow Message files to be sent through to a relating child site.

Details:

• Object Change - made LogFile variables into global unthreaded class for Clarion6.
• Object Change (Insert) - removed logfilenumber increment.
• Object Change (MoveFilesIn) - Status flag change
• Object and TPL Change - Openfile debug in openfile method.
• Object Change ( MoveFilesOut) - returns 0 when no error occurred, otherwise a status.
• Object Change (ReceiveRequest) - statusflagchange and makelogfile - new request functions.
• Object Change (GetFromArchive) - if Creating file, then create in the logpath and leave it there.
• New methods - SetStatusFlag and ReturnStatus.
• Template Change - set whether to export entire data to logfile, or create a blank logfile.
• Template Change (AutoProcessFiles) - use pointer to ensure Site record is correct.

Version 1.62 beta: Released December 10, 2004

• Template Change - checks external file exists before attempting file copy (and logfile instructions). 

Version 1.61 beta: Released December 1, 2004

• Fixed Error in MoveFilesIn method. Was only requesting files from one site (if logfiles required from two or more sites). 

Version 1.60 beta: Released November 23, 2004

• Fixed template error when inverting SuppressedFile list - GUID generation for Replicate files.

Version 1.59 beta: Released November 19, 2004

• Fixed import error (where GUID contains commas in the Site portion).

Version 1.58 beta: Released November 12, 2004

• Fixed template bug (Destination should have been pDestination).

Version 1.57 beta: Released November 11, 2004

• Export History Variables.

Version 1.56 beta: Released November 9, 2004

• New LogManager txa's (mod look and better default settings).
• New equate set if LogManager in SilentMode.
• New method - IgnoreTable, which is called at the start of importing. This method can be derived to prevent a table from being imported under certain circumstances.

Version 1.55 beta: Released November 8, 2004

• Fix for Multi-Proj support - Add zlib.lib link to Multi-Proj lib project.
• TPL fix - LogPath initialised in new site (if not stored in INI file). Caused initial logfile to be stored in application directory (if setting not stored in INI file).
• Improved GetSetting template generated code. First insert - all default settings extracted from INI file. INI file settings are only used as defaults, and ignored after SiteFile insertion.
• New method AddExtraTag - which is called in Primelog before entry end tags are added. 
• In Memory Driver tables automatically suppressed.
• Default option to do away with settable Incoming directory.
• New LogManager txa's.
• SiteSetupWizard window control template optional FTP obsolete. Also you need to force the optional Incoming directory if you require a non-standard incoming directory.

Version 1.54 beta: Released October 29, 2004

• Fixed to use SiteSetupWizard when logfiles are stored in a place other than the INI Setting option.
• In a delete - the StoreBuffer is called in order to save the current values into history during import.
• RepMessage 63 - more informative message.
• Fixed the imported LogManagers to compile correctly on startup.
• Includes BDE version 2.03.

Version 1.53 beta: Released October 19, 2004

• Moved template equate into System template variable (Clarion6.1 regression). 

Version 1.52 beta: Released October 18, 2004

• Fixed missing #fix for SiteFile.

Version 1.51 beta: Released October 14, 2004

• Fixed missing template variable %LogSite (removed instances referring to this).

Version 1.50 beta: Released October 14, 2004

• Fixed the use of the NoFTP so that the template ASSERT is correctly called.

Version 1.49 beta: Released October 8, 2004

• This release sees a revamp in the implementation of FTP transport which proved difficult and needed ironing out. Vastly simplified and improved (check out the FAQs for a couple of tips).
• NB: The arrival of the NoFTP field. If you use FTP, and don't require FTP transport in all your sites, then you need to check this field at the sites that are not requiring FTP transport. (check out the FAQs for a couple of tips).
• FTP / character is supported and endorsed, rather than the traditional \. This is overridable if required.
• DontSendFiles field is supported at template level. You can add this field to your SiteFile to prevent sites that must only receive logfiles from sending them.
• The Project Define has been replaced by an equate. This means that you need to remove the project define (it can't be done automatically).
• New equates for conditional compiles (for the different transport mechanisms). This makes your AutoCreateSite and SiteSetupWizard windows more flexible.

Version 1.48 beta: Released July 20, 2004

• Multi-DLL setup in the Template improved. Also LogManager can use the DataDLL correctly.
• cwutil.clw not projected in Clarion6.1 versions.
• ONCE attribute added to the various external files that are included.
• Error Message(30) added filename into message.

Version 1.47 beta: Released July 12, 2004

• Use Sleep API command (instead of yield()) when there's a clash writing to the logfile.
• StoreBuffer after a PUT (incase of multiple PUTs to the same record).
• Correct stamping of CRC (for large logfiles where CRC stamp spans 2 logfile records)
• For Clarion6 (template) - allow Init method to initiate callback if active is 0 - for GUID generation where replicate is not active.
• Allow ProcessLine method to be derived.
• Clarion6 - bypass Init in first construct - wait until Init is called before Initing the threaded object in the construct.

Version 1.46 beta: Released May 25, 2004

What's Changed:

• Support for Clarion 6.1 (some template updates).
• The active property must be set before calling the init methods (this only affects those who coded their Init and Kill calls manually - This is very Important because no Replication will take place if you do not set this property). This makes it easy to make Replicate optional.
• Fixed the SiteFile open error if you were not replicating the SiteFile.

Version 1.45 beta: Released April 30, 2004

What's Changed:

• Fix (CheckDirectory method) - Create directory for paths containing Drive names.

Version 1.44 beta: Released April 30, 2004

What's Changed:

• New Feature - Fields pointing to external files can contain the path to the original file (a setting in the Replicate Global Extension Template - on the DataTables tab).
• Improved Array support - Decimal arrays functioning correctly.
• Loop AddToLog a few times and if there is an error that occurs, try again.

Details:

• Template Fix - If OpenCloseOnce is used, then file is opened in the Init method, and closed in the Kill method.
• Template Change - TagReceived Template generated code moved to it's own embed point.
• Template Fix - if external fieldnames are used for the SiteFile, then make sure that these are used when generating a ConnectionDetails Message file when creating a new child site.
• Template Fix - Peek all fields at once (instead of individually).
• Class Change - removed the GUID label in Register method - who was not working correctly (for non-externally named SiteFiles).
• Class Change - RegisterArray, PrimeLog and ProcessLine methods changed (for Decimal Array handling). Also Arrays primed properly before StoreBuffer (when Update is imported)
• Class Change - yield in AddToLog incase there is an error in adding to the logfile - and try again. 

Version 1.43 beta: Released March 19, 2004

What's Changed:

• Critical Fix - if Replicate Manager is in silent mode, then import process was not working correctly
• Critical Fix - Replicate Manager was sometimes not detecting the name of the GUID field (clarion oddity) - forced name of GUID field to PRE:GUID, if external name is not present.

Details:

• Template Fix - if SilentMode switch turned on, turns the silent property on.
• Template Change - passes the external or the actual name of the GUID when registering the field.
• Class Update (New methods AddToLog, OpenTempFile) - use this method to write to the logfile, and the latter to open the TempFile.
• Class Fix (Import method) - If illegal tag was written into the file, then it got stuck in a loop.
• Class Fix (ProcessLine & ReceiveRequest) - if in silent mode, then still load lnlen with the length of the bytes read.
• Class Fix (ProcessLine) - if GUID name is still old name, then recognize this as the GUID field.
• Class Update (Commit method) - lock the logfile when writing the entries from the tempfile into the logfile.
• Class Update (Export method) - sometimes set(GUIDKey) does not set to the top of the file, this means that not all records are exported to the logfile. Check method added to ensure that all records are added in.

Version 1.42 beta: Released March 15, 2004

What's Changed:

• New Feature - synchronize 2 relating sites.
• Bug fix - don't not import other sites logfiles if we're waiting to receive logfiles from a 

Details:

• Class Change (MoveFilesIn) - cater for ASNC files (request for sync file).
• Class Change (MoveFilesIn) - don't abort importing file for all sites, only that which is missing a logfile. Keep importing for the other sites.
• Class Change (ProcessLine) - carry over existing values in suppressed fields (when performing an 'UpdateFull') - without clearing (as was previously doing).
• Class Change (Export) - If synchronizing, then use UpdateFull rather than Insert as the tag (this means that a complete update will be performed as apposed to discarding the Insert if the record exists). 
• Class Change (Requisition) - if ASNC file required, then use SiteASNC as the filename. You can request all data.
• New method (AutoExport) (also catered for in the template)
• New control template to facilitate the use of the Synchronize feature.

Version 1.41 beta: Released March 10, 2004

What's Changed:

• Critical Class Fix - Auto-rectification of corrupt logfile counter (bug introduced in version1.33)

Version 1.40 beta: Released March 10, 2004

What's Changed:

• Critical Class Fix - Incorrect site stamping of empty logfiles cause a subsequent import of the same named logfile to be erroneous.
• New feature - allows suppression of files as a user option in the dictionary (RepSuppress). This means you don't have to create a suppress table in each of your applications.

Version 1.39 beta: Released March 4, 2004

What's Changed:

NB: If you are using FTP, then you need to re-import the SendFTP and ReceiveFTP methods. These have better error recovery (or else make the necessary changes shown in FAQ U.4. 

• Fix - Attempt to export LogFile not yet created, was causing continual error in LogManager.
• Fix - Handles import of 0 bytes files (was skipping 0 bytes files - causing data loss (this was happening on some FTP servers))
• Fix - requisition for first file was causing the file not to be sent.
• Fix - Avoid records written after the EOF in a logfile (occuring occasionally when a stamp occurs between a check and a write)

Details:

• Class Fix (Import method) - exits with error if file imported 0 bytes.
• Class Fix (MoveFilesOut method) - Always checks logfile existance before sending.
• Class change (Export method) - exports in GUIDKey order (instead of record order). Makes comparing 2 databases easy.
• Class Fix (ProcessMovedFiles method) - cut extension out when processing request from another site.
• Template Change - allows inversion of suppressed table list (so if only a few tables must be replicated, you can use the list to list the tables that must be replicated)
• Template Fix - When using the One FTP Site method, don't place a '\' at the beginning of the FTPDir, when the FTPDir is blank.
• Template Fix (GetNextNumber code generation) - added check for LogNumber + 1 incase, someone else stamps the EOF as we're about to write to the logfile.
• Template Fix - calls SetProcedureName instead of SetProcedureName('') - deletes the procedure name from the queue instead of writing a blank entry.
• Template Fix - changed name of FTP group in the Control template - prevents compile error when disabling FTP. You need to delete and re-add the control template to get rid of the compile error.

Version 1.38 beta: Released February 13, 2004

What's Changed:

• Fix - when importing a file that contains throwaway records, memory was not being flushed (until complete logfile was imported).

Version 1.37 beta: Released February 13, 2004

What's Changed:

• Fixed missing char in line (causing occasional infinite loop in import routine).
• Fixed importing of file changes where GUIDs have external names.
• New Feature - Archive logfiles.

Details:

• New methods (PutToArchive and BulkArchive) - Moves files to the archive directory (derived method uses zLib to compress files).
• Renamed method (GetOldFile - GetFromArchive) - gets (and decompresses) archived files.
• Template and Class Change - If LastLogFileNumber is 0, then search the LogPath for the last file, before assigning a number to the first logfile (protection against restarting from scratch).
• Class Change - GetLastFileNumber, GetFileNumber, HexToLong and GetFileDate methods all moved into the csLog class (to cater for the logfile search in the logpath).
• New method (SortFileQ) - sorts the queue from a directory command into Replicate file order.
• Class Fix (Import method) - if one char is returned, don't kiss it good bye.
• Class Fix (ProcessLine method) - compare GUID with actual name of the field (not the assumed name)
• Class Change (MoveFilesOut) - adjusted to handle the new archiving routine (i.e. looks in the archive if it's not in the logpath).

Version 1.36 beta: Released February 9, 2004

What's Changed:

• Fixed critical bug in import (introduced with method split in version 1.33) (class change)
• Fixed Array and MEMO change detection when External names are used for these fields (template change).

Version 1.35 beta: Released February 6, 2004

What's Changed:

• Improved handling of external files (like graphic files) - these are exported with the data set.
• Fixed the array handling - eliminates erroneous values inserted into blank arrays (where array types are numeric). 
• Removed the template utilities to create a default logmanager (import bug in clarion causing compile errors). You need to import the txa manually to create the default logmanager.

Details:

• Object & Template Changed (Export method) - Can make Site specific exports (for transport selection, etc) - and then send the files out (in the Export code template
• Object & Template Changed (PrimeLog method) - to handle exporting external files (pointed to in the data) as part of the data set.
• Template Changed - only sets RepGLO:Site if not set already. This means you can set to a temp value (if Replicate is inactive).
• Template Fix - correct LoadSitesProperties - if DontCreate Relating site directory is unchecked, then create the dir.
• Template Fix - correct array clearing when array is not a string type.
• Object Change (new PrimeSiteField method) - enables bulk priming of site fields (where Non-Replicate site is upgraded to a Replicate site).
• Class fix (RestoreBackup method) - fixed order files are restored (after the 65535th file).

Version 1.34 beta: Released February 3, 2004

What's Changed:

• MsSQL work around - The REGET command does not pass through the FileCallback. The entire record is passed (with an UpdateFull flag). The best solution is to handcode a FETCH or GET command after the REGET command, although this is not always possible.
• TPL generates XML friendly fieldnames into the log file.

Details:

• Class Change (FunctionDone) - Make Action UpdateFull if the History GUID is <> CurrentGUID, and also if the FIleDriver is MsSQL.
• Template change - Change source generation of fields with the ':' character to '_' - which makes this XML friendly.
• Template change - new utility templates to automatically import the different flavours of LogManagers (making it easier to make your own logmanager).

Version 1.33 beta: Released January 29, 2004

What's Changed:

• Support for FM2 (previously only FM3 supported)
• Fixed the RestoreBackup method (was hanging in some circumstances)
• Fixed the GlobalFTP settings (specifically where the directory - self.site)
• Split the import method into 2 - import and Processline in anticipation of the Online transport layer.
• New feature - allow de-registering of files.

Details:

• Template Fix - extended FM3 support to FM2
• Template Fix - compile error when using the csLogManager class (instead of the csLogConnectionManager class).
• Template Fix - Using Global FTP Site - where the directory = self.site (was clearing the FTP directory).
• Template Fix - export to a site (without site limitations) - was enforcing site limitations.
• Class Change - Added parameter to the IgnoreField method to allow value dependant checks for ignoring fields. Also added functionality to ignore the entire record (instead of just the field).
• Class Change (new method DeRegister) - allows deregistering of files at runtime.
• Class Change (new method ProcessLine) - the Import method has been split into two methods.
• Class Change (import method) - don't use AppendQ. If append flag is set, then append to all files.
• Class change (RestoreBackup method) - sort byName instead of date/time. If date was less than required date, then it got stuck in a continuous loop.

Version 1.32 beta: Released January 27, 2004

What's Changed:

• Template Fix: Prevents old FTP name (with Site directory name on the end) from having an extra site directory added.

Version 1.31 beta: Released January 19, 2004

What's Changed:

• Support for ALIASes.
• Support for FM3 upgrading.
• Better implementation of optional Replication.

 Details:

• Template changed - re-organised the global template, to place unused items in the Advanced tab.
• Template changed - new list not dependant on #button - this was causing the Template Variable list to sometimes not be populated, so Embed points were being orphaned.
• Template changed - adds a project define, set to 1 if code must be disabled (allows conditional omits around handcoded replicate calls).
• Template changed - template insertions labelled.
• Template and Object changed - supports FM3: when FM3 is upgrading, then upgrade inserting are not logged, unless FM3 is auto numbering a file.
• Template and Object changed - Clarion6 init stuff moved to the Init method.
• Template Changed - removed all old SIT:InDir field references (now obsolete).
• Template changed - does not omit ALIAS files from being registered.
• Object Change (Kill method) - don't Kill if it wasn't Inited.
• Object Change (GetGUID) - if no Site, then generate a random site (this is for sites where replicate is not activated).
• Object Change - if active property is clear, then don't do the configuration.

Version 1.30 beta: Released January 13, 2004

Important Note: If you used the IgnoreField method, this has an extra parameter for Importing (to determine whether you are ignoring the field exporting or importing). You may need to include this in any if statements so that a field is not ignored if it is required to be imported.

Important Note: If you are using Email or FTP for transport, then you need to update your ReceiveFTP, SendFTP and SendEmail procedures as set out in Question 3.20 of the FAQs, or run the Template Utility (ImportReplicateEmailFTPabc or ImportReplicateEmailFTPLegacy) to import the updated windows.

Important Note: If you hand coded a call to the CopyOut method to export a file to a relating site, then you need to call the method SendAllOutGoing as well - which will handle the transportation of the file to the relating site (which the CopyOut method no longer does).

What's Changed:

• Optional: SendFTP to include a temporary directory to upload logfiles to and then move them to the proper one. This solves errors while FTPing to the site (and the relating site Gets the file at the same time).
• Restructured so that files are all processed into the specific site's outgoing directory and then sent (in one go). Files are removed from the directory in the Sending procedures (when the sending is successful). If files are not sent, they will be sent the next time a successful transport occurs. Basically the OutGoing directory has become an outbox. Everything that is placed in there is sent to the various sites (which have their own outboxes). Once a file has been successfully sent, it is removed from the respective directory.
• New method of changing and setting settings using a wizard - the SiteSetupWizard. This can be imported from the example applications or using the Template Utility.
• You can set the SuppressWarnings in the Global Extension template, which now also suppresses the warnings to create directories for relating sites.
• FTP can be globally setup (if a single FTPsite is used for all sites). This simplifies the site setup. If this option is selected, then the default will be FTP, but can be overridden by specifying an email address or Directory (or an alternative FTP server) if not required.
• All settings stored in the SiteFile - except directory (logpath) and site ID - which are stored in an INI file. This means that settings are only stored in one place.

Details:

• Object Fix - If SuppressWarnings is set, then don't warn on request for missing logfile.
• Object Change (new method - IgnoreField) - conditionally ignore a field when priming the logfile (also can be used to override a GROUP, Over field, that is ignored by default).
• Object Fix (MoveFilesOut method) - check that there is a file number of the one we're wanting to move out (it may not have been created yet).
• Object Change (RepMessage method) - add site to heading of messages.
• Object Fix (AddSetting method) - save and restore the current path when selecting the replicate directory.
• Object change (ProcessLogFiles method) - use long filenames - don't use fnsplit to work out directory names - and move External files out as well (anything in the Outgoing dir will be copied/processed to the relating sites outgoing directories).
• Object Fix (ProcessLogFiles method) - if problem opening the TempFile to process to, then bail out (of processing that file).
• Object Change - SendFiles method has an optional options parameter.
• Object Change (GetOldFile) - change FileName string(255) to FileName string(FileNameSize)
• Object CHange (IgnoreField method) - pImporting flag added to allow for overriding of Groups and Overed fields if they are in the logfile (must no be ignored during import).
• Object Change (HandleExtraFiles) - made obsolete 
• New methods: UpdateFTPSettings, UpdateEmailSettings, UpdateBasicSettings, handles the bulk update of specific settings.
• New methods: SendAllOutgoing - handles the sending of all files in a relating site's outdirectory.
• New method: RemoveAllFiles - Removes files from a specified directory
• Object Change (GetSetting method) - renamed pDontUpdate parameter to pOptions.
• Template Change - SuppressWarnings checkbox on the global extension sets the property (for ease)
• Template Change - Do away with ForceImport from first logfile checkbox (obsolete).
• Template Change - Option to use SiteSetupWizard instead of the default procedure
• Template Change - Setup a global FTP setting (instead of having to setup each FTP site individually).
• Template Change - Test for LAN connection before sending removed - obsolete.
• Template Change - allow you to use a tempfile for FTP uploading.
• Template Change - add the SiteFile to the UsedFiles template variable list (in log apps) if it is not used in the application.
• Template Fix - corrected %RepGloDerivedClass typo in C6.
• Template Fix - place embed point in the PrimeLog and TagReceived derived section so that the path can be set for each field (containing external graphics).
• Template Change (derived AutoProcessLogFiles method) - call SendAllOutgoing after processing all logfiles for a site - removed call to HandleExtraFiles. Remove all files from the Outgoing directory after processing.
• Template Change - transport priority order set: Direct, otherwise Email, otherwise FTP.
• Template Change - GetSetting, UpdateSetting derived code changed to handle storing all settings in the SiteFile (except directory). Incoming dir only stored in the INIFile, other settings only stored in the SiteFile.
• Template Change - transport calls removed from the derived Copyout method.
• Template Change - delete obsolete options from the ProcessLogFiles code template.
• Template Change - added 'Auto-Export' option to the FullExport control template. This means that the logfile will be automatically named correctly and sent to the respective site. If the site is selected from a list box, then this can be used for the site requiring the export.
• Template Change - new control template - for bulk updating settings - ReplicateUpdateSettings. This is used on the SiteSetupWizard in the example applications.
• Template Change - only call SendFTP if all FTP details (directory, user, server, password) are present.
• Object Change (Setup method) - if Site range exists, check that SiteLow <= Site and SiteHigh >= Site.

• LogFile renamed to Rep_LogFile.
• New feature Restore from backup (see examples for implementation).
• Fixed bug when using a log path other than the current path when first starting up (GPF and first logfile to wrong place)
• Logfiles in XML format (not strictly yet, as XML format requires that ':' are not used in field names).
• Fixed bug where logfile was not being sent automatically in response to a logfile request.
• Force SiteLo to be <= site and SiteHi to be >= site.

Details

• New method (GenerateCRC) - use to generate a CRC for logfiles (template option in Global Extension template).
• Changed internal filenames to contain the subscript Rep_.
• Options changed to equates to make method calls more legible.
• All logfiles now in XML format.
• Close, Export methods call GenerateCRC when closing the logfile (and after stamping the EOF).
• Fix (MoveFilesIn method) - delete data file from the incoming queue, so that a normal import isn't attempted.
• Fix (Configure method) - gets the logpath before attempting the site setting. (ensure that the first logfile is written to the correct place - if the logpath isn't the current directory).
• Change (Import method) - displays the file currently being imported, if small files, then get the whole file. Test CRC if present
• Change EOF stamp to End_of_File (XML friendly). Will still support the old method.
• Fix - if the pointer is corrupt and is beyond the last tag of the file, then it would not return a file done.
• Fix only copy out one file (MoveFilesOut).
• Change (AddSetting method) - allows to override updating the setting (now that logpath is the first setting - you can only add it to the file once the site has been set).
• Fix GetFileName and GetFileNumber to exclude MSG files.
• Fix - Growing MSG File (was not being removed after export)
• New method (RestoreBackup) - method to restore a site's own logfiles from a specific date.

• Template Fix - if SiteHi is < Site, then reset to Site, and if SiteLo > Site then reset to Site (UpdateSetting and GetSetting).
• Template Fix - if /NoAutoSiteAdd then must not add the site record to the site file (UpdateSetting and GetSetting).

Version 1.25 beta: Released November 6, 2003

What's Changed:

• Support for much more logfiles (increased from 65535 to 2708160)
• Fixed GPF when receiving a Request file (caused by not closing the file correctly).
• Critical: Fixed a compression error in the cszLib class 
• Critical: Fixed a error when re-reading a logfile (when the LastInSize is corrupt).
• One request file per Process logfiles (previously was being overwritten, and so only one request was being issued).
• When one logfile is requested, only one is sent (previously sending all subsequent logfiles)
• Critical: Fixed LastFileSize for XML files. This means that the logfile is imported from the correct place (as apposed to having to start from the beginning).

Details:

• Includes a new version of BDE - 1.55
• Includes a new version of the cszLib class - 1.11
• Object Change (Open Method) - supports up to 2708160 files (instead of 65535)
• Object Change (Import & MoveFilesOut & LogToTemp & StampeEOF Method) - calls GetFileNumber and GetFileName instead of working filenames out
• Object Change (Requisition Method) - returns filename used
• Object Fix (Import Method) - starts a complete import of a logfile when LastInFile Number is corrupt.
• Object Fix (Import Method) - when XML used, stores the size of the file - XML formatter. This means that the LastInSize is at the correct place in the file for the next import.
• Object Fix (MoveFilesOut Method) - Handle copying out errors correctly.
• Object Change (ProcessMovedFiles Method) - handles whole queue (instead of sorted - sorting not accurate with extended range of file names).
• Object Change (ProcessMovedFiles Method) - handles OnlyOne file correctly
• Object Change (GetFileName & GetFileNumber Methods) - allows up to 2708160 files
• Object Fix (Requisition Method) - Creates MSGFile in the logpath (instead of the OutGoingDir) this means that a request is not overwritten by a superceding request (changed parameter to a string for future commands).
• Object Fix (ReceiveRequest Method) - fixes GPF casued by not closing the file during a receive request.
• Object & Template Change (LoadField Method) - returns the value of the field before the change is implemented.
• Template Change - allows optional blank logfile creation (if logfile is missing).
• Template Change (AutoProcessFiles) - OnlyOne operates correctly (if 1 file is requested, it only sends that one).
• Template Change (GetSetting & AddSetting & SetNextNumber code) - use %LogFile instead of 'SiteFile'.
• Template Change - use LastOutFile (field of the site record) to store the file last logfile copied out.
• Template Change - in copyout, if there is an error while compressing files, then don't delete the file and abort exporting that file.
• Template Change - (ProcessLogFiles code template) clear the MSGFilename property before doing the process. If it is not clear at the end of the Process, then we know to delete the MSGFile. This means that only one MessageFile is used per ProcessLogFiles. Warning to Handcoders: You need to include the following code before your call to the AutoProcessLogFiles method:
  
      clear(ThisRep.LastMSGFile)
  
  and the following code afterwards:
  
      if clip(ThisRep.LastMSGFile) <> ''
          remove(ThisRep.LastMSGFile)
          if ~errorcode() then clear(ThisRep.LastMSGFile) .
      end

• Fix for when a site's first logfile is not 1. 

Details:

• Object Change - Changed compile flag from _c55_ to _VER_C55.
• Object Change (MoveFilesOut) - If a file is requested that does not exist, then new method GetOldFile is called, which by default will create a blank logfile to be sent to the relating site that is requesting the logfile. In future this method will be used for unarchiving logfiles when required.
• Object Change (Export method) -  if no fields in a key/index (like a dynamix index) then this key is not searched. This was causing a GPF on dynamic indexes.
• Object Change (CheckDirectory method) - allows you to automatically create directories without prompting the user.
• Object Change (GetOldFile) - new method.
• Template Fix - if SiteFile is suppressed then extra end was included.

Version 1.22 beta: Released August 1, 2003

What's Changed:

• cszLib corrected. (Version 1.10 is shipped with Replicate). The compression algorithm (in some occurances) makes the string larger, which was causing a file read error. Rectified error returning.
• If LogFilePath was not selected, then set to default (.\).
• Re-instated filename into the subject line (for email transportation). This ensures that the largest file gets imported (where multiple emails are received with the same logfile name attachment).

What's Changed:

• Mostly fixes for bugs introduced in beta 1.19. - especially the deleteafter bug in the copyout method, and '\' checking in paths.
• Also a more robust transaction handling (in commits).

Details:

• Template Fix - ConnectionDetails (FTP and Email) code generation - strings clipped when entered to the MessageFile.
• Template Fix - DeleteAfter in CopyOut - was not always deleting the file after exporting.
• Template Fix - fixed generation of some methods names (incorrect parameters).
