Fiasco Release 2.22
===================
This is a minor update of Fiasco - a universal database
program.
Changes since Fiasco 2.21:
- Reorganize is faster
- Reorganize or saving after editing the mask would damage the fdat file
if the contents of a Var String or Listview field have been changed
before.
- Changing the order of the labels of a cycle field was not correctly
supported.
- The list window did not display more than 65000 entries.
- Using the ARexx port immediately after starting Fiasco could not work.
- Deleting an entry in grouped listviews did not affect all group
members.
- When creating relations failed, enforcer hits could occur.
- Scaled pictures in datatypes field did not work correctly with
picture.datatype from OS 3.5.
Changes since Fiasco 2.2:
- For float fields, you may select whether you want to specify the
number of all digits or the number of digits after the decimal point
as precision.
- The Unique Key attribute of integer fields now searches much faster
for an unique key.
- Fiasco formulas did not always work correctly for sequential blocks.
For example, (1 + 2) * (3 + 4) did not work.
- While saving, formulas of new fields were not always calculated
correctly.
- While creating records relations were not checked.
- Creating integer fields with the unique key attributes while the
database contained already records would cause Fiasco to crash.
- Hidden grouped listview fields could cause Enforcer hits.
- The convert function did not work with localized float fields.
- Formulas with listviews did not work reliable.
- ARexx command Find did not work correctly without Record argument.
- SaveAs did not open file requester when called without arguments.
- SetField CreateListEntries now uses stem.lv.COUNT.
- Old-style ARexx command F_SetFieldCont was broken in 2.2.
