This document covers the following topics:
This section describes new features and enhancements in NaturalONE's basic functionality for Natural application development. It covers the following topics:
It is now possible to delete the log file with the history of the Natural builder directly from the project properties. See Logging in Changing the Project Properties which is part of Using NaturalONE.
The handling for private-mode libraries has been changed. It is now possible to delete a private-mode library directly from the library properties. See Changing the Library Properties in Using NaturalONE.
Time stamp conflicts cannot occur for the objects in a private-mode library, because these objects can only be modified by a single user via changes in the Natural project. Therefore, the time stamps of the objects in the local workspace and on the server are no longer compared. See also Checking the Time Stamps in the Natural Environment in Using NaturalONE.
The following have been renamed for reasons of clarity:
| Old Name | New Name |
|---|---|
| command | command

| command | command

| Build projects automatically option | Build Natural projects automatically option

It is now possible to convert a free rule into an inline rule. See Changing the Properties for a Rule in Using NaturalONE.
With marquee selection, it is now possible to use clipboard operations (, , ) on an array. In this case, it is sufficient to select just one of the array elements. The clipboard operation is always implicitly applied to the entire array. By default, a message dialog appears, prompting you to confirm the clipboard operation. You can suppress this message dialog, either in the message dialog itself or with the new option Warn if implicitly applying clipboard operation to entire array instead of selected elements which is available in the Natural preferences. See Map Editor in Setting the Preferences which is part of Using NaturalONE.
Using the new Limit console size option in the Natural preferences, you can now define a limit for the console output of the Natural builder. Moreover, it is now possible to define no limit for the console output. By default, the console output of the Natural builder is limited to 80000 characters, which is identical to the fixed limit that was used in previous NaturalONE versions. See Natural > Builder in Setting the Preferences which is part of Using NaturalONE.
With NaturalONE Version 8.2.7, the Natural Navigator view is still provided as a preview version. There will be no support for this preview version. Any feedback from our customers on this new view is greatly appreciated. Since the Natural Navigator view is still under development, a later version of NaturalONE may include substantial changes for this view. See Using the Natural Navigator View in Using NaturalONE.
New features in this version are:
The Print command is now available in the the Natural Navigator view. When you print an object source from the Natural Navigator view, the printout contains Natural-specific information. This is different from the Print command available in the source editor which uses Eclipse functionality. See also Printing Objects in Using NaturalONE.
With NaturalONE Version 8.2.7, support for Arabic shaping is still provided as a preview version. There will be no support for this preview version. Any feedback from our customers on this new feature is greatly appreciated. Since support for Arabic shaping is still under development, a later version of NaturalONE may include substantial changes to this type of support. See Arabic Shaping in Using NaturalONE.
This section describes new features and enhancements in Natural for Ajax and Ajax Developer. It covers the following topics:
You can now develop your own custom controls. See Custom Controls.
You build your own controls using the Control Editor which is now available as an Ajax Developer tool. See Control Editor in the Ajax Developer documentation.
The
statusprop property now supports the new value "FOCUS_NO_SELECT". See Dynamically Controlling the Visibility and the Display Status of Controls in Some Common Rules for all Controls.
BOMs in XML schema and DTD input files are currently not supported. If the input file contains a BOM, a parsing error will occur. As a workaround, you have to remove the BOM manually. See also Using the XML Toolkit in Using NaturalONE.
