- Fixed data sheet glitch when certain forms were also open (reported by Jim Cook)
- Fixed invisible "Ok" button in Font dialog
Version 6.0.0 Build 88095 (Beta Released for Mac OS X on January 19th, 2010)
- Fixed problem that caused an error message once per minute if an untitled database was open
- Added close box to About Panorama window
- Fixed wizards in Sharing submenu that were not opening properly
- Security menu was missing from Design sheet, now restored
- Fixed so that it does not crash if Database Information wizard is opened when no database is open
- Enabled the Field and Function menus in the Manipulate Data and Find/Select dialogs
- Dragging columns in the data sheet is now disabled in user or author mode, if design sheet changes are disabled, or if shared database
- New Font dialog for data sheet, also allows you to control whether data sheet text is smoothed or not
- Changing the font and/or size now marks the database as changed
- Made a change so that Find/Select dialog will not drop keys no matter how fast you type. Also applied this change to Manipulate Data dialog, and wizards including Recent Databases, Programming Reference, and Live Clairvoyance
- Make sure "Live Preview" in Find/Select dialog defaults to enabled when Panorama first starts up
- In previous versions of Panorama the scroll wheel would be "captured" when editing any text object. In other words, the scroll wheel would not work for any object on the form except for the currently edited object. This is still true if the currently edited object has a vertical scroll bar, but is no longer true if the currently edited object does NOT have a scroll bar. Examples of where this improves operation include the new Find/Select dialog, the Programming Reference wizard, and probably many others.
- When Find/Select dialog is re-opened in the same database, it comes back to the same query spec (it is cleared if a different database)
Version 5.5.3 Build 85813 (Released for Windows on October 15th, 2009)
- Functions that handle subpaths now convert ":" to "\" in subpath - subpath(, panoramasubpath(, appsupportpath(, webhomefolder(, homesubfolder(, homepath(, panoramasupportfolder(
- During export, tabs are no longer converted to spaces
- Panorama now includes correct version of snbd8w9s.dll (needed for printing images)
- ZoomWindow now places window correctly (before it was off by a few pixels)
- In the past selected text when editing would look "bold" if your system supported anti-aliased text. Now it works properly.
- Panorama now launches without error messages when using European date/number formats
- Color dialog is no longer partially hidden if the task bar is on the left
- Procedures with errors did not convert properly from Mac to Win, it would crash if you tried to edit or search such a procedure. This was also in Panorama 4, now fixed
