Fixes

10623 App Icon editor behaves better. Right clicking on items now works regardless of whether you have clicked on other items or not. Add will add an image or mask depending on which item you right click on. Drag and drop support for ICNS files should be improved. Cut and paste also works better from one size to another.

20313 Mac: CStr now respects custom decimal separators.

21963 MacCarbon: TextFields and TextAreas display the correct border on Mountain Lion (10.8) instead of a black border.

19675 MacCocoa: altering Window.Height no longer adjusts the window's position.

13735 MacCocoa: ApplicationMenuItem is now treated the same as AppleMenuItem and appears in the correct place at runtime.

21985 MacCocoa: applications now reliably quit without having to wiggle the mouse or send some other sort of event to the application.

22054 MacCocoa: drawing to a Picture that has already been drawn somewhere itself is no longer excessively slow.

21795 MacCocoa: MoviePlayer no longer crashes when setting the Movie property a second time

21478 MacCocoa: now has basic HiDPI support.

21509 MacCocoa: the Paint event fires less often now, leading to increased performance during window resizing.

17723 MacCocoa: the Resized event now only fires after the Window has been resized, not during the resize itself.

18662 Compiler: '#pragma warning' and '#pragma error' now require message strings. Previously the compiler allowed you to use the pragmas without the messages, but would silently ignore the pragma.

3531 Compiler: Applications no longer crash inside of a catch block without a type clause under some circumstances.

20364 Compiler: Compiled applications no longer crash if they return a structure with an odd length in some circumstances.

20737 Compiler: Defining a structure, enum or delegate type on a window will now work in methods and declarations that are not part of that window.

9867 Compiler: Delegates with a single string parameter can no longer be invoked when passing in no arguments. The compiler now correctly raises an error, saying that the method requires more parameters than were passed.

19544 Compiler: During application shutdown, partially destructed objects can no longer be accessed (and will instead be set to Nil).

19785 Compiler: External methods in classes now work correctly.

18981 Compiler: Inline68k is now formally deprecated and will be removed in 2013r1.

11463 Compiler: No longer causes crashes if you access RuntimeException.Stack from within a catch block with no type clause.

19694 Compiler: No longer crashes if you use WeakAddressOf with a method in a module.

18951 Compiler: No longers warns about shadowing constants if the superclass' constant's scope is private.

18699 Compiler: RBScript upgraded to LLVM 3.0.

19650 Compiler: Structures now work with RBScript.

20198 Compiler: The compiler now generates correct code for structure returns on Linux and OS X. This could have caused crashes if the method was invoked from non-RB code (like a system callback).

5187 Compiler: When reporting that the value parameter of a computed property's setter is unused, the compiler now correctly refers to it as an unused method parameter (instead of an unused local variable).

20761 Database: Added two new methods to the REALSQLDatabase class to more efficiently deal with BLOBs by allowing you to incrementally read/write to a BLOB and added a new BLOB class: OpenBlob]], CreateBlob and RealSQLBlob.

22099 Database: DB plugins are no longer compatible with older versions of Real Studio; they simply will not load.

19587 Database: Enabled ability to group expressions by parentheses using RealSQLDatabase.

22071 Database: It is now possible to call stmt.SQLSelect multiple times, as long as the previous record set is closed with rs.Close.

19917 Database: REALSQLDatabase has been updated to SQLite 3.7.11.

17552 Database: REALSQLDatabase: blob data returned from a query now has a Nil string encoding instead of UTF8.

18814 Database: REALSQLDatabase: setting the ThreadYieldInterval now works properly (previous it would always set it 0 no matter what you assigned it).

20377 Database: Removed Version property from RealSQLDatabase as it duplicates LibraryVersion.

20733 Database: With ODBC, Null values in recordset fields did not work with StringValue when dealing with blank text and next fields.

20076 Desktop: Added functions LocalPoint and LocalRect to REALbasic.Rect. These functions return a new object whose coordinates are local to the calling Rect.

19691 Desktop: Added new Bounds As REALbasic.Rect property to the Window class. Use this property to Get/Set the true bounds of a window (i.e. including frame/title decorations).

20688 Desktop: Added new DragItem constructor that takes a RectControl and X, Y parameters which are relative to that control. Subsequent calls to AddItem also accept coordinates that are relative to that control (notes: moving the control after calling the constructor does not change the relative location of calls to AddItem, in other words the control's left/top at the time the constructor was called becomes the relative offset and does not change if the control moves in the interim).

21022 Desktop: Added OpenGLSurface.ContextHandle property that lets you get at the underlying OpenGL context. At the same time, we've deprecated the existing Handle method that shadowed the RectControl Handle property.

16099 Desktop: ContainerControl.Handle now returns a valid control handle instead of always 0.

21247 Desktop: No longer crashes when changing Listbox.ColumnCount multiple times.

20306 Desktop: Replaced deprecated Quickdraw Rect functions with our own internal versions.

19039 Desktop: Report field contents no longer overlap when text contains line endings.

8358 Desktop: Resizing the columns of a Listbox now properly adjusts the width of end cap column (assuming there is one).

19113 Desktop: Rotating a PixmapShape that contains a picture with alpha channel now rotates with transparency.

19437 Desktop: System.Pixel is now deprecated. On Mac OS 10.7 and higher, it raises a PlatformNotSupportedException.

19415 Desktop: You can now use a SegmentedControl in control arrays.

This allows line editing capabilities (via control characters) when in Canonical mode.
