WebHub Version 1.04 Release Notes

The purpose of the release notes files is to give developers exact information on known bugs, and when they were fixed.

Improvements in Release 1.04

In the Hub + Runners

• Compiled Hub and EXEs run ok with NT SP3.
  Warning: NT SP3 breaks SSL if you are using the Microsoft Internet Server. If you do apply SP3, make sure you keep the SSPIFILT.DLL file around from SP2.
• There is no longer a web server error 500 when the htsysmsg\hubnone.htm file is missing. This was a problem with the cgi-bin and cgi-win runners.
• Help|License will find the license DLL even on the trial version of the Hub.

In the Components

• Fixed GPF that occurred when closing and re-opening projects.
• Fixed error regarding TWebIniFileLink blank filename when using TWebPages.
• Fixed the problem with export filenames that were set on pages called dynamically.
  This means that now you can finally export all your fully reconciled macro-driven pages with a single key. This sure beats server-side includes and makes automatically generating static pages which exist in parallel to the dynamic ones a piece of cake.

In Demos

• SHOWCASE demo released 25 June; thanks to Karen Chauss for extensive editing assistance.
• HTGR TWebListGrid demo fixed. HTML moved under htdemos\codedemo\. Works with the htdemos\webapp project.
• Note: some demos use data outside the DBDEMOS alias. The path to that data is determined by a function in ht\htfrm\apputil.pas which looks at WebInfo.WebDefaults['DemoPath'], and if that's blank, the location of the EXE. In the windows\href.ini file, set

  [WEBHUB]
  DemoPath=c:\ht\htdemos\demodata\
  

  Adjust c:\ht for your installation location. Alternatively, run the demo EXEs from c:\ht\htexe\.

Documentation Updates

• Context-sensitive help works automatically for Delphi 3.
• ht\template\readme.pas documents your choices for starting new WebHub applications. There are 2 new starter projects in that directory.
• WebHub White Paper now ships with the product; thanks to Peter Hyde for authoring it for HREF.

Reported Problems

In the Demos

• Several demos find their apps based on the EXE's location, which is assumed to be ht\htexe. Set this under Project|Options.
• The old (EEP) ademo3.pas file may not open under D3.
• If you don't have Delphi C/S, and are using Delphi 3, the demos may not compile. Workaround: delete the .dof file, or do not build with packages, or edit the list of packages to match what you have on your system.
• Fish Store: if you go into set preferences and then try to return to the Detail page, you will get an error.
