45783	IDE : Inspector	Changes to Shared Build settings: - 'Long Version' is renamed as 'Copyright' in the Shared build settings - 'Short Version' is renamed 'Version' in the Shared build settings - 'Package Info' is renamed 'Description' in the Shared build settings and add new accessors for GUI and Console apps so - App.Version gives back the short version (ShortVersion still works) - App.Copyright gives back the long Version (LongVersion still works) - App.Description gives back packageInfo (PackageInfo still works) IDE Scripts can set and get these values as well. Note that this does not alter old behavior on each OS. For instance, PackageInfo never returned any value on macOS, so Description doesn't either.

The next time there is a new item renamed to an already existing name it gets the 'next' index (one larger than the highest one used so far). And these fixes mean that simply renaming an item will not get an index of 0 assigned.
50964	IDE : Inspector	You can assign a private sibling as the super of a public sibling inside a module.
50984	IDE : Inspector	Ellipsis are no longer stripped from the default value of a property.

50601	IDE : Menu Editor	Dragging tool items in a web toolbar no longer causes the IDE to crash on Windows.
51465	IDE : Menu Editor	Dragging a menu off the menu bar no longer leaves it off the menu bar. It will pop back up to its correct horizontal position in the overall menu bar as it should.
11492	IDE : Miscellaneous	inspector behaviour does not sort when writing to text projects.
49796	IDE : Miscellaneous	User set menu shortcuts can be in these locations: * Application Data > Xojo > Xojo <version> > Overrides > Keyboard shortcuts (for ONE user for ONE specific version) * Documents > Xojo > Overrides > Keyboard shortcuts (for ONE user for all versions that support this functionality) * SharedDocuments > Xojo > Overrides > Keyboard shortcuts (for all users for all versions that support this functionality) This override of shortcuts will be located and used in the order listed above. More specific settings override more general ones. </version>

50926	IDE : Miscellaneous	If the active tab is one from an item in the spill over tab menu that item in the spill over menu will have a check mark next to it.
50937	IDE : Miscellaneous	Extract Method dialog on Linux resizes controls appropriately and resizes the dialog accordingly to fit these resized controls.
51148	IDE : Miscellaneous	In the Window menu, the correct item now has the checkmark.
32801	IDE : Navigator	Selection rectangle no longer moves down and away from the actual item selected when you resize the source list.

50556	IDE : Navigator	Computed properties no longer sometimes incorrectly show “default values” as a field in the Inspector.
50636	IDE : Navigator	Made it so if you have a tab that is locked to a folder containing classes you can edit any of the contained classes without the IDE switching tabs.
50910	IDE : Navigator	Removing an event handler from a control array really does remove it.
50990	IDE : Navigator	You can now Undo a delete/cut of a module or folder that contains project items.
51243	IDE : Navigator	Adding a build step to a build target by right clicking on the target when it is not the selected row works as expected. The build step is added to the row right clicked.
51486	IDE : Navigator	Using copy paste to duplicate constants no longer ends up with constants with duplicated names.

51424	Remote Debugger Stub	A 64-bit stub can correctly receive either a 32 or 64-bit app from the IDE. 32-bit stubs only receive 32-bit versions. Previously, since 64-bit debugging was not possible on Windows, only 32-bit versions would ever be sent to remotes regardless of whether the remote was running on a 32 or 64-bit version of Windows.

11617	IDE > Miscellaneous	Open Existing File and Recent Items are in the Windows tray item menu.

Case	Area	Description
31055	Framework > All	SQLiteDatabase now has support for AES-256 encryption.
49565	Framework > All	Added Transparent property to RectControl. This property is mainly useful on Windows to avoid additional overhead if you know your layout does not require Transparency.
50090	Framework > All	Enabling DoubleBuffer on a ContainerControl now composites the control on Windows, allowing for moving/scrolling controls to appear less flickery.
50120	Framework > Linux	Updates to support Wayland backend, and others besides X11. As with any backends (in combination with differing versions of GTK+), mileage may vary in what works and what doesn't. Currently the major differences noticeable in the Wayland backend are: - Cannot restrict to a maximum size of a resizable window - Getting the Window left/top will return 0, conversely setting the Left/Top will not move the window
14484	Framework > Web	Added UploadProgress event to WebFileUploader.
15374	Framework > Web	WebFileUploader now supports drag and drop.
15375	Framework > Web	Added boolean MultiSelect property to WebFileUploader to allow users to select more than one file at a time.

47001	Framework > Windows	Reduced flicker on Windows by moving to a Psuedo-Transparency model (much like MS WinForms does). Please avoid partially overlapped controls with this new model.
51213	IDE	Creating a new project when running the IDE on macOS will default to setting the macOS Build Architecture to 64-bit.
51578	IDE > Build Automation	The list of constants available in a build script is now the following: CurrentBuildLocation - string, CurrentBuildLocationNative - string, CurrentBuildTarget - integer, CurrentBuildAppName - string, CurrentBuildTargetIs32Bit - boolean, CurrentBuildTargetIs64Bit - boolean, CurrentBuildTargetIsIntel - boolean, CurrentBuildTargetIsARM - boolean, CurrentBuildTargetIsWindows - boolean, CurrentBuildTargetIsMacOS - boolean, CurrentBuildTargetIsLinux - boolean, CurrentBuildTargetIsXojoCloud - boolean, CurrentBuildTargetIsDesktop - boolean, CurrentBuildTargetIsConsole - boolean, CurrentBuildTargetIsWeb - boolean, CurrentBuildTargetIsIOS - boolean, PreBuild - boolean, DebugBuild - boolean
27328	IDE > Code Editor	Find in selection works once again.
51682	IDE > Code Editor	Made it so users can, as part of a Xojo color theme, override the system selected text highlight color and inactive text color.

51299	IDE > Miscellaneous	New projects default to being 64 bit for Linux.
50652	IDE > Navigator	Made it so that when you click on an item contained by another (such as a code item like a method, constant, property, etc contained by a class, layout, etc.) one of the contextual men items is to open the container in a new tab. This is particularly handy when you've applied a filter and want top open the item in a new editor.
51447	IDE > Scripting	Export of localizable values is scriptable using IDE scripting syntax like this: If ExportLocalizableValues(english, /Users/username/Desktop/untitled folder/english.xojo_locale) Then Print *success” Else Print *fail” End If The names of the languages are as presented in the popup menus in the IDE for exporting. The path to the destination is a native path and so is necessarily platform specific. The destination file will be created or overwritten if it already exists. This can fail if the path to the destination does not exist or the language is not in the list of known languages the IDE supports.
51622	IDE > Scripting	CloseProject now has two forms: CloseProject with no parameters behaves just as always and will prompt for saving if the project has changed. CloseProject(true) also behaves this way. CloseProject(False) closes all windows that the project has open but does not prompt to save any changes.
40124	IDE > Xojo Cloud > Statistics	Xojo Cloud Statistics are now available in the IDE.
