2.9 (Build 151)

July 21, 2006

Corr Incorrect script generated when deleting or renaming tabstrips that have icons.
Corr Bug where renaming or deleting the first tabstrip (when it is active) failed.
Corr Cosmetic improvement to placement of text next to an icon when icon is present in tabstrips and buttons.
Corr Intermittent crash when deleting groupboxes or tabstrips.  pntctl.dll change only.

2.9 (Build 150)

May 30, 2006

Corr Greatly reduced the incidence of the document coming up blank with a document title "NONAME".
Corr Changed the position and size indicators (upper left, just above the dynpro area) to display proper SAP coordinates.
New Tabstrips are now fully supported.  One can now delete entire tabstrips, reposition tabstrips, delete and rename individual tabs - all from the user interface.  Proper script is generated.  If pre-existing script is opened, the user interface depicts all tabstrip-related script commands properly. 
To delete or rename an individual tab, select the tabstrip, then right-click (there are 2 new context menu items - Delete Single Tab and Rename Tab).  To delete an entire tabstrip, simply select it and hit the delete key.  To reposition a tabstrip, select it and drag.  For convenience, selecting a tabstrip automatically selects all the controls contained within it.  Note:  it is an error to delete a tabstrip without also deleting all the controls contained within it.  If one attempts to do this, one will receive an error message, and the
del command will not be generated.

2.9 (Build 149)

Corr Crash when you have a tabbed screen, e.g. MM03, with:

Corr The above conditional now works properly, even if you switch the tab in SAP GUI, and refresh (by clicking on the Designer button). 
Doing so properly refreshes the "decision table" (Edit->Decisions).

Corr Intermittent error causing a breakdown in the script saving process (changes weren't written to the file)
Corr Active TabStrip pages can once again be conditionalized using the context menu (right-click in text mode)
Corr Many assorted bug fixes improving overall robustness
Corr When clicking on process="xxx.xxx" where xxx.xxx doesn't exist, the program asks whether to create a new file and no longer puts up additional prompts or crashes.  More robust fix
