upCast RT 7.1.8 (Build 1495)

Release date: 2010-01-18

New features

  • GUI: Add keyboard shortcut for running the topmost pipeline (Cmd-R resp. Ctrl-R)
  • UPL: new function flatten(List)
  • UPL: new function is-filetype() to check whether a file is of a certain type
  • UPL: new function string-join()
  • GUI: Simple View: Make variable resolution available in Simple View label-type elements' text

Changes & improvements

  • UPL: Change signature of main(), finalize() and error-finalize() to return Value (instead of Numeric)
  • UPL: internal implicit casting of List type values to String was different from how to-string() works; now, they work the same
  • WordLink: now creates any missing intermediate folders to destination automatically

Fixes

  • PIPELINE: Custom termination: message-text() called even when finalize() method does not request termination
  • UPL: group-shallow() (i.e. without the required type param) throws java.util.NoSuchElementException
  • CORE: improve implementation of INHERIT setting to pick up settings immediately without having to re-load the pipeline
