Studio 11 library conversion

Tue Nov 21 16:07:10 UTC 2023

Ah, only bright new shiny M3 for the likes of me and staff :)

My Cyber Police push us all to keep up today, part of Lineal’s ISO 9001 & ISO 27001 certificates.  There is no escape from them, especially as one is one of my children :)

So develop on an old cruddy machine - that’s what I do (I have a Parallels old Mac version for development0 :)

Hello Andy,

Aye, but you can’t go backwards if your dev machine is running OSX Sonoma and v10.22 build 32066 for those running older version of Studio.

Also not using:
Do $libs.$add(Path,,,,ECode,EText) Returns rLib
There is no option for conversion sadly.  I have asked for it.

Thanks

Mike

Never forget when opening libraries under an Omnis notation command you can always auto-convert them - so you can maintain one set of base libraries providing your code includes : Open library (Do not close others,Enable conversion by runtime,Convert without user prompts)

Hello Kelly,

So the reason for jumping the values is this:

The new build of v10.22 32066, uses one of those numbers. You have to convert your library to run this build, and it appears you can’t go back. So a bit like from v8 to v10, and it meant you had a new code.

The new build of v11 35659 has the new library format, so it had a new code as well.

So if you develop using v10, and need the new security property, and OSX Sonoma compatibility, you have to convert all of your users to the same v10.22 build 32066, or convert the libraries before use for those users. Otherwise develop two sets of libraries of course.

Hmmm...

I hadn't seen it mentioned before, but the latest Studio 11 35659 release converts libraries from the prior Studio 11 release. It takes an odd jump, too... I've adjusted my Applescript as follows:

if byteOne = 57 then -- 0x39
set dialogMsg to file_ & " is a Studio 11.0.x library."
end if
-> if byteOne = 60 then -- 0x3C
-> set dialogMsg to file_ & " is a later Studio 11.0.x library."
-> end if

As you see, they've skipped 58 and 59. After a long, long history of just incrementing by 1, this time they added 3.

The What's New PDF explains:

"Class Locking and Library Conversion
In order to enhance the integrity and security of deployed Omnis Studio libraries, the mechanism used to lock classes in a private library has changed in Omnis Studio Revision 35659."

FYI,

Kelly
