Date: November 19, 2010 Product: Comet2010Install423.exe
Version: Comet16/32 2010 Build 423
Comet.exe
1. Comet.exe will now run the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Redistributable installation when required for full Comet clients.
Comet32:
1. Corrected a problem that could cause a crash if a printer (or other device) was open in a parent program and the LUN was reused for a file in the subprogram.
2. Corrected a problem with numeric editing which caused numbers to sometimes be truncated.
3. Corrected a problem that could have caused a crash when launching Comet32 automatically on 64-bit Windows systems.
CosW:
1. Corrected a problem that could have caused a crash if the CometAnywhere host domain name was longer than 15 characters. This problem was introduced in .420.
2. The location of CosW.ini file has changed (again!) It's now under the user's local folder rather than All Users so each user gets their own copy. Depending on which version of Windows you're running you'll find it here:
Prior to Vista look in Documents And Settings\%Username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Signature Systems
Beginning with Vista look in Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Signature Systems
Changes in previous releases:
Build 422
1. Background partitions can now be ACTIVATEd. The X00 device is automatically open on LUN 0 for these partitions. (See item # 2 below for X00 enhancements.)
2. The X00 device can now do (CopyFile), (RenameFile), (EraseFile), (FindFirstFile), (FindNextFile), (FileStatus), (GetDirAlias), (SetDirAlias), (OpenClipboard), and (CloseClipboard). Previously these mnemonics could only be used with LUN 0 which excluded background partitions.
3. If a configured directory can't be accessed at startup you'll be notified through a messagebox and an error message will be posted in the Comet log.
4. The Msgbox IB function and statement can now be used in background partitions.
5. The delimiter used for .csv files can now be specified with the FILE (lun) DLM=char$ statement.
6. FILE (lun) NORMAL introduced to reset a file's access from CSV or XML back to normal.
7. Added new clipboard mnemonics (OpenClipboard), and (CloseClipboard). An error can occur if the clipboard is opened by another user and there is no good way to convey that in IB. Now you can use (OpenClipboard) first and test for that case and try again. The old method will still work but this is more reliable. Use of these mnemonics requires REL 10.08 or higher.
8. Added a new mnemonic (ClearBuffer) to clear the X00 buffer between writes. Use of this mnemonic requires REL 10.08 or higher.
9. CosC now detects 64-bit Windows and will launch Comet32 automatically.
Build 421
Comet.exe
1. Now launches the installer for VS 2008 redistributables if necessary. Also detects if no /PN and no .cfg files and will attempt to run SYSGEN from REL.
Comet32:
1. FSTAT now returns E11 if the file is not found and a directory was not specified.
2. Corrected a problem in the NUM function for Comet32 objects that wasn't returning an error if the last character in the string was invalid.
3. Corrected a problem in the STRING function for Comet16 objects that could have resulted in corruption of data in other variables.
4. Session colors specified in the configuration file are now used.
CosC
1. Faster connection to CometLib.

Beginning with .420 our development environment has switched to VS 2008.
Comet32:
1. Corrected problems with FPT and BASE64.
2. Numeric overflow errors (ERR 1) are now ignored just like Comet16.
3. Changes required to get CometExplorer's DirBuild to load.
4. Fixed a bug that caused a trigger event when resetting a timer that is not running.
5. Prevented the changing of a constant when inputting a list of fields.
CosW
1. Fixed a problem with print screen using multiple monitors when running Comet.
Comet.exe
1. Added several dlls and manifest files to support conversion to VS 2008 runtime.

January 19, 2007 - 2 important official announcements!
We are pleased to announce a new Signature Systems product called CometConnect. The Comet Connect server farm is setup to securely and reliably host Comet applications without the headaches and expertise required to maintain an IT site.
We have also put together a template application and tutorial that takes you through the steps to generate a web site for just about any business! This technique can be used whether the business is currently a Comet customer or not. If you have any questions about either of these products we’ll be happy to help.
January 15, 2007 - Update releases for Comet 2006 and Comet 2007
Released version .377 which addresses a couple of important potential problems for XAP web servers.
January 5, 2007 - First release of Comet32!
Comet 2007.376 contains the first beta release of Comet32. Comet32 is the 32-bit option for Comet 2007. Comet 2007 is also available in the familiar 16-bit version. Comet16 may run Comet32 programs and visa versa. Comet 2006 users may run either version during the beta test period without any additional license.
To use the Comet32 compiler, you will also need REL 7.01 and an update to your UltraEdit configuration to install the compilation tool. If you are running version 10 or higher of UltraEdit, you will run IBInstallForComet32.exe. If you are running version 9, you must use IBInstallForComet32.zip and follow the instructions in the ReadMe.txt file.
There are some important differences between Comet16 and Comet32. And several IB enhancements were implemented for Comet32.
Update releases made: Comet 2007.376 (beta) Comet 2006.376 REL 7.01 UTL 7.01
