Hi Mike,I only use Windows, but...could you not develop on new Studio, and then export library to json, then import library into older Omnis, sending that library to your older clients?Obviously extra steps to take, but so would developing in a vm running an older os.Just a thought Kind regards Phil

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...Mike MatthewsLineal Software SolutionsCommercial House, The Strand<x-apple-data-detectors://1/1> Barnstaple, Devon, EX31 1EU<x-apple-data-detectors://1/1>omnis at lineal.co.uk<mailto:omnis at lineal.co.uk><mailto:mike.matthews at lineal.co.uk>www.lineal.co.uk<http://www.lineal.co.uk><http://www.lineal.co.uk/>www.sqlworks.co.uk<http://www.sqlworks.co.uk><http://www.sqlworks.co/>On 9 Oct 2023, at 06:38, Kelly Burgess <kellyb at montana.com<mailto:kellyb at montana.com><mailto:kellyb at montana.com>> wrote:Caution: This is a message which has originated from outside the organisation.

It takes an odd jump, too... I've adjusted my Applescript as follows:if byteOne = 57 then -- 0x39set 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 ifAs 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 ConversionIn 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_____________________________________________________________Manage your list subscriptions at https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2flists.omnis-dev.com&c=E,1,0dv8kPQTVAoW7e1chD0kbjcLnbVNVBJ-CK2f5pRfI9ngFdl_95LNV2R4mnUtfoykYJ1K_OK3FmU1yHvLirQqf4ZYrblZ80Ka9_A-YZjG-frEqiQzwYChQg,,&typo=1Start a new message -> mailto:omnisdev-en at lists.omnis-dev.com_____________________________________________________________Manage your list subscriptions at https://lists.omnis-dev.comStart a new message -> mailto:omnisdev-en at lists.omnis-dev.com_____________________________________________________________Manage your list subscriptions at https://lists.omnis-dev.comStart a new message -> mailto:omnisdev-en at lists.omnis-dev.com
