New Feature

8534

Basic Script

Win Wrap Basic Scripting engine updated to the 9.3. version

 

Incompatibility:

A problem with the "Format" function used by the WWB.NET has been remedied. This function would be wrongly executed in the COM context instead of VB.NET. It is for this reason, that when now executing a project deriving from previous versions and according to which function being used, an error may generate or the end result will not be the same as before. Therefore it will be necessary to readapt the use of the function's code.
