Any potential bug symptoms evident in v6.x or v7.x need to be checked in the
most recent DP build, currently 8.1 dp2.
6 and 7 have joined 5 and 4 and the others in having reached end-of-life.
Technical support is still available for current subscribers, but no new work
is being done on versions prior to 8. Any bugs found in those older versions
will remain forever.
Hi Richard,
Thanks for the note - and indeed I'm doing all my new work in 8.1dp2, which is
going great.
However this is an app developed over very many years and in use in a number
of places processing a great deal of text; and although in theory using the
new Unicode capabilities will make it a lot better, in practise the current
installations contain a lot of character set workarounds which will break.
Until I/my clients can justify the testing load of the upgrade, I don't wish
to move this app even to LC 7 let alone 8.
Fortunately, although the UNC bug broken in 6.6.4 and repaired in 6.7.5 was
broken again by 6.7.7; it was repaired again by at least 6.7.11, the last
version of 6.7. So I'm cautiously happy!
Ben
