This page provides information about new features, as well as changes you need to plan for when migrating your customization to this version.

For a detailed list of GBC 1.00.60 changes, please refer to the list of fixes on our issue tracker.

Optimize loading of forms with folders

When you load a form with folders, all folder pages are measured and loaded by default; the size and layout of each page computed. This can create performance issues for large folders.

Starting with 1.00.60, the lateRendering Genero presentation style can change this default behavior. Set lateRendering to yes to compute only the measurements and layout of the currently rendered page. The layout of other pages will be computed when displayed.

To learn more about the lateRendering presentation style, see the Genero Business Development Language User Guide.

New features

  • GBC no longer allows a webcomponent to be loaded into a TABLE. The program will not start, and error -6313 will be raised.
  • GBC field widgets now handle Byte Length Semantics (BLS) and Char Length Semantics (CLS). Refer to the Genero Business Development Language User Guide for more information on length semantics and its impact on form fields.
  • Comboboxes can be expanded using the Alt-Down Arrow shortcut.
  • GBC build tool fixes and improved options have been introduced (enter gbc --help for more details).
