Kudos for Curl IDE 6.0.5

Posted by Robert Shiplett on Nov 20, 2008 12:56:25 PM

It is great to see that when the Curl 6.0.5 IDE is saving/closing a 3.0.x project that it no longer saves the CPRJ file with metadata about styles. The effect of this was to render that CPRJ file invalid for a developer still using a Curl 3.0.x IDE (project would not load). The work-around was to manually edit the CPRJ to remove the default styles info (only 3 lines near the top of the CPRJ file) or to try not to commit it to source version-control (easier said than done when working under pressure.)

 

Thanks folks. Much appreciated!

I am confused. Are you trying to report a bug?

Sounds like a report of a bug fix, although I could not find an explicit mention of this in our bug database.

When I have time I will re-install ( as it may have been the Nitro IDE )

 

The problem is gone: it was a real nuisance whenever I had a 3.x project change to commit to version control when edit was done in the more recent IDE

 

If I find that it was Nitro, I will file the bug report.

This appears to be a persisting bug ...

 

I just made a change which affected a 3.0 project CPRJ file in 6.0.1005 IDE and I find this change in the CPRJ:

 

{project

    version = 2,

    manifest-location = "manifest-CNTRL-DSKTP.mcurl",

    api-version = "3.0",

    use-style-sheets? = false,

    style-package-name = "",

    style-sheet-name = "",

    {target

        name = "local",

|| abridged

|| as you know this will not load as a cprj into a 3.x IDE because of the

style-sheet meta-data

 

This although use style sheets was not selected ( it may be defaulting to true for pre-5.x projects )

I've made a new bug report for this, and we should be able to fix a future 6.0 IDE service pack to not put the incompatible stuff into the 3.0 .cprj file.
