iOS project deploy rule script has changed
Starting with GST 4.01.01, there has been an update to the script behind the project deploy rules for iOS applications. If you edited your project deploy rules and they contain calls to the ideploy.tcl script, your modifications may no longer work against the updated script. Deploy rules are considered modified when you right-click on a project node, select , click the Deploy tab, and select the Overwrite default rules check box.
$(GSTDIR)$(packageId)$(DistDir)/$(PackageName)
Starting with 4.01.01, the script is called with a different set of arguments:
$(DistDir)$(packageId)$(packageLabel)
If you select to apply your previous configuration to your 4.01.01 installation, the old arguments in your modified deploy rules may (and most likely will) no longer work properly. You should review your modifications to ensure they work with the new version of the deployment script.
Special characters and spaces are handled when extracting schemas
Spaces and special characters in database tables and views are handled when a schema is extracted.
Prior to GST 4.01.02, database tables and views with spaces or special characters in their names or in their column names were not handled when a schema was extracted.
A new environment variable has been added, DB_SQL_DELIMITER
The DB_SQL_DELIMITER environment variable specifies delimiters for SQL databases
with invalid SQL identifiers, including SQL keywords. For more information, go to DB_SQL_DELIMITER.
The application sandbox location is not changed when redeploying
From 4.01.03 on, the location of the application sandbox remains the same when redeploying an application from Genero Studio.
The resizeFillsEmptySpace style attribute has been added
From 4.01.03 on, the resizeFillsEmptySpace style attribute allows you to adapt
the size of the bottom table columns to avoid unused space. For more information on working with
style attributes, go to Modify styles.
Android™ colors update
From 4.01.03 on, Android colors have been removed from the package node. Customizing colors in an application must be done with the GBC. For more information, go to Customization in the Genero Browser Client User Guide.
