Dolphin 5.1 Released

Folks,

We've now released Dolphin Smalltalk XP 5.1 which contains a fair number of
enhancements and bug fixes over those available in 5.0. You can read about
the changes here:

http://www.object-arts.com/Lib/Downloads/5.1RC/ReleaseNotes51.htm

The new version is a free update to existing Dolphin 5.0 users and can be
installed using your current version 5 serial number. Trial users may also
upgrade to 5.1 for the remainder of their trial period. If you wish, the new
version can also co-exist alongside previous installations. This may be of
use if you need to continue to run with an earlier system for whatever
reason.

Downloads are available from our software library at:

http://www.object-arts.com/Downloads5.htm

Thanks to everyone who tested the 5.1 Release Candidate software and
provided feedback. If you have any of the Release Candidates on your machine
you should uninstall them first before installing the final 5.1 release
version.

Thank you for your continued support of Dolphin Smalltalk.

Best Regards,

Andy Bower

Yes, you're right, there is a typo in the Release Notes link which should
be:

http://www.object-arts.com/Lib/Downloads/5.1/ReleaseNotes51.htm

Hello,

congratulations for this new release.

Unfortunately I have detected three (old) problems in DBResultSet (related
to #300 of the release notes):
DBResultSet>>approxSize
DBResultSet>>findLast
DBResultSet>>size
check numOfRows for -1. For Sybase SQL Anywhere this should be < 0 as in
DBResultSet>>isEmpty.

Best regards,
Andreas

Well thanks for the report. This is really a single problem in the SQL
Anywhere driver in that it doesn't correctly implement SQLRowCount()
according to the ODBC specification (see the description of the RowCountPtr
argument at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odbc/htm/od
ch21jpr_2.asp). From what I can see Christopher Demers reported this issue
in February of last year, specifically in relation to the #size method, but
it wasn't formally recorded in our bug tracking system. #isEmpty was
mysteriously modified to incorporate a workaround when bug #300 was fixed.

If you'd been able to let us know of this over the past few weeks since we
released the first 5.1 release candidate, then we certainly would have
included it in the final 5.1 release, but I'm afraid it is too late for 5.1
now. This is now recorded as issue #1247, to be addressed in a future
release.

Regards

Blair
