SSLMode As Integer -- can be one of the following constant values defined on the PostgreSQLDatabase class:

SSLDisable (default) -- only try a non-SSL connection

SSLAllow -- first try a non-SSL connection; if that fails, try an SSL connection

SSLPrefer -- first try an SSL connection; if that fails, try a non-SSL connection

SSLRequire -- only try an SSL connection. If a root CA file is present, verify the certificate in the same way as if verify-ca was specified

SSLVerifyCA -- only try an SSL connection, and verify that the server certificate is issued by a trusted CA

SSLVerifyFull -- only try an SSL connection, verify that the server certificate is issued by a trusted CA and that the server hostname matches that in the certificate

SSLCertificate As FolderItem -- This property specifies the file name of the client SSL certificate, replacing the default ~/.postgresql/postgresql.crt. This parameter is ignored if an SSL connection is not made

SSLKey As FolderItem -- This property specifies the location for the secret key used for the client certificate. It can specify a filename that will be used instead of the default ~/.postgresql/postgresql.key

  • NEW 7269 Framework: Added Crypto module:

Enumeration Crypto.Algorithm MD5 SHA1 SHA256 SHA512

New functions:

Crypto.Hash (Data As MemoryBlock, Algorithm As Cryto.Algorithm) As MemoryBlock

Crypto.MD5 (Data As MemoryBlock) As MemoryBlock

Crypto.SHA1 (Data As MemoryBlock) As MemoryBlock

Crypto.SHA256 (Data As MemoryBlock) As MemoryBlock

Crypto.SHA512 (Data As MemoryBlock) As MemoryBlock

Crypto.HMAC (Salt As String, Data As MemoryBlock, Algorithm As Crypto.Algorithm) As MemoryBlock

Crypto.PBKDF2 (Salt As String, Data As MemoryBlock, Iterations As Integer, desiredHashLength As Integer, Algorithm As Crypto.Algorithm) As MemoryBlock

The MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and SHA512 functions are basically just convenience methods for Crypto.Hash.

  • NEW 21912 Framework: TextArea: Added LineHeight and LineSpacing properties.

LineHeight As Double

  • Controls the height of each line in the TextArea control (it is global so the effect spans all paragraphs). A value of 0 maintains the default line height of the control, while any other value changes the height of each line. The value is tied to the TextUnit property, so if the TextUnit is in Inches then the LineHeight value specifies a height in Inches.

LineSpacing As Double

  • This controls the spacing between lines. So if you wanted your lines to be double spaced, you would enter a value of 2. The default value is 1, or single spaced.

  • NEW 22629 IDE Scripting: Added a ShowDialog method for showing a MessageDialog during execution of a script.

SSLKey As FolderItem -- the path to the key file

SSLCertificate As FolderItem -- the path to the certificate file

SSLAuthority As FolderItem -- the path to the certificate authority file

SSLAuthorityDirectory As FolderItem -- the path to a directory that contains trusted SSL CA certificates in PEM format

  • CHANGE 21298 Windows, Linux: TrayItem fixes:

  • Now throws a PlatformNotSupportedException when used on OS X

  • Assigning an empty help tag on Windows now works

  • App.AddTrayItem would return a false positive on Linux when it really did add the tray item so we'll now assume the tray was added successfully and let the user run their main event loop and use declares to determine the actual state of the tray (i.e. whether or not it was really added). See the TrayItem example which includes the declare to check this.
