Patch Level 3 Available

Folks,

A new Live Update is available for Dolphin 5.0 to bring it up to Patch Level
3 (5.0.3). This patch level corrects a few minor issues with PL2, and
introduces a few further bug fixes and enhancements, as detailed here:

http://www.object-arts.com/Lib/Update/Dolphin/5.0/Professional/PL3.htm

You can apply the patch to your current Dolphin image by double-clicking the
Dolphin Live Update icon in the System Folder.  You'll need to be connected
to the Internet at the time and Dolphin will then access our web site to
download the available patches. Note that because of an error in the Live
Update tool (see issue number 1157 in the PL3 release notes), it may fail to
install multiple patch levels in the correct order. Therefore if you are
upgrading from 5.0.1 you should first select and install Patch Level 2.
When you have installed Patch Level 2, or if you have previously installed
it, then you can proceed to install Patch Level 3.

The patch files are protected by a DolphinSure signature so you need
to acknowledge the Object Art certificate when it is presented (please note
that it may take a few seconds for this to appear while the patches are
downloaded and assembled).

Although you can apply the patch to your current working image we do not
recommend this since you may already have made incompatible changes to it.
If you do choose to patch your working image *please* make sure you have a
backup of it first.

Ideally, we would advise you start from a fresh image (you can get one using
the Fresh Install icon on the Dolphin start menu) and apply the patch to
that. Obviously, if you do this you should first save your current work in
package files so that they can later be reinstalled into the patched image.
Once you have patched an image, you should save it to disk as this is not
done automatically.

Best Regards,

Blair McGlashan

It may just be me but I can't seem to get this to work online.  I start up a
fresh 5.0.1 image and request the update.  The dialog tell me that it has
acquired pl2 and pl3 but when I select pl2 and then "Install" I get a
progress dialog telling me that _pl3_ is being installed, and then a
walkback saying that the pl2 st file can't be found.

I also noticed that the DolphinSure certificate for pl2 referred to pl3 -
possibly connected?

I can update successfully using the open/save/file in workaround so the
files themselves appear to be correct.

Ian, I think this is the problem with LiveUpdate. My instructions were not
helpful. The order of the items in the list is the issue. If starting from
5.01, it is necessary to click on the Available Patches column so that the
patches are listed in ascending order. You can then install both by
selecting the last (i.e. PL3). Alternatively you can first file in the
attached patch (from PL3) which fixes LiveUpdate itself.

Yes, that was it.  The update installed fine doing it that way.  Thanks.

Was it actually a successful patch?

Are you sure you started from PL2? The splash screen would show 5.0.2 if
that were so.

The reason I ask is because Menu>>find:ifAbsent: was added in PL2.

The patching process must complete without errors if it is to be deemed
successful.

If you need to start from a fresh 5.0.1 image (having first saved your work
in packages), you should follow this procedure after starting LiveUpdate:

1) Start LiveUpdate and wait for it to download both PL2 and PL3.
2) Now click the 'Available Patches' column header until the list is in
ascending order of patch level.
3) Select only PL2 (the first list entry), and install that.
4) When the installation of PL2 has completed, select PL3 (the only
remaining list entry), and install that.

We are working on a script to patch LiveUpdate and prompt for a restart so
that upgrading from 5.0.1 to 5.0.N, where N > 2, is easier in future.

Blair

I think its because i am using an evaluation version.

I was getting this error until I checked the DolphinSure certificate.

I just needed to do this, and with your instructions, it worked fine.  Dumb
question: would it also be ok to choose open for each patch and then file in
the patches in the correct order?

Have a good one,

Bill

Yup. The main problem with LiveUpdate is that it may attempt to file in the
patches in the wrong order. It also disables package manager event
processing, which was OK when it was written, but in D5 results in some of
the patches ending up in the wrong packages, or uncommitted. PL2 contains a
workaround fix for this, and fixes LiveUpdate itself, but it has to be
applied individually as otherwise the unpatched method will still be running
when the install for PL3 starts. If you file in the patches, all should be
fine.

Blair
