Release Notes

Version 1.0 - Released to the public, 08-Feb-1998

Version 1.1 - Release to the public, 15-Feb-1998

• Changed from drawing element structure format to the new MAKE_XXXX() macros used by the latest panel SDK.
• "C" file output now contains the mouse rectangles contained within the gauge.
• Skeleton functions now created for mouse functions
• Function prototypes added to the "C" file for compilation purposes

Version 1.2 - Released to the public, 16-Jun-1998

• Fixed syntax error in generated file for MOUSERECT structure. The program was specifying MOUSE_RECT which was invalid.
• Fixed syntax error in generated file for all MAKE_XXXX() macros. No casting should have been used in these macros.
• Removed semicolons from the end of the MAKE_XXXX() macros as they are added automatically as a part of the macro expansion.
• Corrected names of two image attributes, IMAGE_HIDDEN and IMAGE_NO_STATIC_BLENDING.

Known Bugs

Version 1.0

• When the "C" file is generated, the drawing elements contain a syntax error. All references to "gauge_header" should read "&gauge_header"
• String drawing elements are missing a member in the structure for string functions

Version 1.1

• Still some syntax errors in the generated source file that would cause compile time errors or crashing of a compiled gauge. See the release notes above for more information.
