• The Function Library Collection (FLC) file now stores references to Libraries using paths relative to the FLC file (when located on the same drive).

Version 1.5 (Build 129) - September 4, 2003:

• Fixed a bug in the 'Purge Invalid Libraries' functionality
• Updated "Patterson-Consulting.net" web references to reflect the redesigned site.

Version 1.5 (Build 128) - July 15, 2003:

• Updated shared components

Version 1.5 (Build 127) - June 19, 2003:

• Added a feature to display function comments when a function is highlighted. Selecting a function in the Available Functions list will display the code for that function on the TSL Code tab. Previously, the TSL Code would start on the line where the function was declared. If there are comments directly above a function declaration, the TSL Code will now start with the beginning of those comments. This option can be turned on/off using the 'Show Comments with Functions' option under the 'Options' menu.
• Added a feature to detect when the active library file is modifed by an outside program and will prompt to refresh the file if necessary

Version 1.5 (Build 126) - June 5, 2003:

• Library 'Refresh' now properly refreshes a library
• Updated the 'Custom Path' functionality of the drive selection control and address an issue with Windows XP
• Added 'Author', 'Summary', 'Creation Date', and 'Modified Date' columns to the 'Available Libraries' grid for quick reference
• Resolved an issue where modifying and saving a .FLC file created with Function Manager would not save additional information that was specific to the Function Manager tool

Version 1.5 (Build 124) -June 2, 2003:

• Minor tweaks to the function parser

Version 1.5 (Build 123) -May 30, 2003:

• Added bookmark toolbar buttons
• Fixed an issue where the function parser was not properly escaping some string characters. This resulted in some functions being excluded from the function list.
• Fixed an issue where the 'Compiled Modules Only' option of the 'Add Libraries' dialog would still add files that were not compiled modules

Verison 1.5 (Build 121) - May 29, 2003:

• Major updates to the foundation of the application due to the modifications to support the new Function Manager tool
• Improved script viewer with several new features
• Added 'Library Details' tab to view information about the currently selected library
• 'Declarations' tab is now the 'Function Details' tab
• 'Library Code', 'Function Code', and 'Attached Comments' tabs merged into the 'TSL Code' tab. Selecting any function in the 'Available Functions' list now jumps to the portion of the library where the function is declared, so there was no need to keep a separate tab for 'Function Code' and 'Attached Comments'.
• 'Copy Function Generator Code' now includes function call syntax and full path to the library where it is declared.
• 'Function Library Lists' (*.LIB) are now stored as 'Function Library Collections' (*.FLC) to be compatible with the Function Manager and avoid confusion with the 'Parameter Lists' feature of the Function Manager. To tool is backwards compatible with the *.LIB files.
• Improved performance
• Bug fixes

Verison 1.0 (Build 120) - February 26, 2003:

• Updated some of the controls to provide better performance and to be compatibile with other software from Patterson Consulting.

Version 1.0 (Build 119) - December 11, 2002:

• Fixed a bug causing some folders to be skipped when scanning for function libraries. The bug also affected the display of folders when browsing to add invidual library files.
• Improved the file validation used when opening a Library List file. Someone could mistakenly open a WinRunner function library instead of a Library List file and possibly overwrite the file when exiting the tool.

Version 1.0 (Build 118) - November 15, 2002:

• Fixed a bug causing the program to crash if an open library file was removed from the file system (Bug Submission by Kevin Barnes)
• Added the ability to search for functions using wildcard characters
• Added a 'Copy Selected Text' menu item to the TSL code pop-up menus
• Minor improvements to screen refresh timing

Version 1.0 (Build 117) - October 21, 2002:

• Added a feature to display the attached comments to a function (these are the comments that are often placed immediately above a function declaration). These comments can be seen by clicking the 'Attached Comments' tab.
• Adjusted the tab stop for displayed TSL code to match the default setting for WinRunner
• Fixed a bug in the parsing engine that caused certain function declarations to be misread (Bug Submission by Mike Davydov)

Version 1.0 (Build 116) - October 17, 2002:

• Fixed a conflict with Russian-language Windows that prevented the application from running (Bug Submission by Mike Davydov and Brad Clarke)
• To avoid conflicts with WinRunner's default hotkey for 'Record', the keyboard shortcut for editing a library was changed to 'Ctrl+E'

Version 1.0 (Build 115) - October 9, 2002:

• Fixed a bug causing the program to crash if it was closed while minimized (Bug Submission by Tom Yale)
• Fixed a bug with using an external script editor (Bug Submission by Matt Thurman). The error occured while converting long filenames to short filenames.

Version 1.0 (Build 114) - September 26, 2002:

• Fixed an issue where the parameter grid of the 'Declarations' tab was being improperly shown when the form was resized
• Added a feature to copy a template of the Function Generator code statements needed to load a function into WinRunner's Function Generator. Future support will include more detailed implementations for automatic generation of the code, but the template is being offered until full functionality is developed.

Version 1.0 (Build 113) - September 25, 2002:

• Resolved a bug where the clipboard was not being properly cleared when copying different function declarations (Bug Submission from Brad Clarke)
