Wow! I though that one was already released in 2.2.1. I must be wrong then.
I did find a plugin in the installer that isn’t in the release notes.
The UDP plugin.
Shouldn’t be in the installer? Or was just forgotten in the release notes?
Looks interesting but I am not sure what to use it for (unless I was planning to code my own IM client or something).
I’m truly amazed at the pace of Servoy new features, enhancements. I had mistakenly assumed the feature set was frozen pending Servoy 3 previewed at Servoy World. Congratulations!
I have question:
some code, like application.writeTXTFile did’nt work anymore (depricated)
It was just a find &replace, so no problems here, but if there are more functions depricated, I would like to know now, before bumping into problems when we arein production!
After reinvestigate it seems you are right, the depricated function application.writeTXT(…) file is broken in 2.2.2 (since we added a parameter to the file plugin function)
no, also application.readTxtFile was depricated since the release of file plugin (long time ago), so far all depricated methods keeps working.
If something gets depricated we will mension it in comming releases.
Hi, sounds like a fantastic job as usual on the new release. I’m just wondering if anyone knows of any documentation for some of these new features. Especially [new]-rawSQL plugin
It sounds promising and ive searched the forum and found a few mentions of rawSQL but nothing so far where i could understand what it might do or how to use it.
thanks for the great work and excuse me if i have missed this information somewhere, i have been a bit out of touch with the forum recently
The rawSQL plugin does what it says if you compare it to the Servoy Database Manager. You can send a raw sql statement to your selected connection/database.
You can use this when you want or need direct access to a database for stuff you can not do with the standard interface Servoy provides us.
