2019r2.1
Released on November 20th, 2019.
This release has important improvements to Xojo 2019r2.
Notable changes:
DatabaseRow.Column now returns a DatabaseColumn which can be used to obtain and set the column values. Other column methods have been removed.
Events have been reverted back to their pre-r2 names to make it easier to move between 2019r2.1 and prior versions. The IDE will automatically change any API 2.0 events back to the prior names when a project is loaded. If there are two events with the same purpose in a project (such as Open/Opening) they will be left alone so you can review the code and remove the now-unneeded additional event. You will need to adjust code that is moved from Toolbar.Pressed and Toolbar.MenuSelected back to Action and DropDownMenuAction due to different event parameter names.
Deprecations with replacements no longer show warnings by default. When you want to see the API 2.0 deprecations warnings for a specific project, go to Project->Analysis Warnings and select "Item1 is deprecated. You should use Item2 instead.".
