This is a maintenance release with bugfixes and NTLM support for the XURL
plugin. It also includes an older version of the Java Runtime Environment (we downgraded from Java 8 update 112 to Java 8 update 101), because the current Java versions cause a bug to appear where the editor is empty after minimizing the application window. Downgrading the JRE fixes that. This issue should also be fixed by Java 8 update 122, which should be released by Oracle in April 2017.
Known Issues
- When using the latest version of Concurrency (1.0.4), then you cannot pass anything other than an ATOMIC, LIST or OBJECT, date or MongoId to the next stage using
Concurrency.push()
. You will need to serialize everything you want to pass to a string. - Under exceptional circumstances after starting Xill IDE the editor might fail to show code highlighting. In this case we recommend closing and re-opening the affected tab to resolve the problem.
-
In OS X and Linux Java 8 can sometimes return very strange time offsets (based on physical location instead of timezone), for example Amsterdam might have an ofset of +00:19:32 instead of +01:00:00. If you run into problems because of this, please add the following line to your
app/Xill IDE.cfg
file under the [JVMOptions]
header:Duser.timezone=GMT+2
(Replace+2
by the respective offset of your timezone) - On a Mac, some keyboard-shortcuts may not work, because they are used to type special characters
- The constructs
Math.floor()
,Math.ceiling()
, andMath.round()
do not work with numbers larger than9223372036854775807
or smaller than-9223372036854775808
while other Math constructs do not have this limitation
