• Support for opening multiple collections
• Up to four split views for the TSL viewer
• Multiple document support for editing more than one library
• Automatically insert comment headers for functions and libraries
• Import function descriptions from comment headers
• Update the 'reserved_words.ini' file used to indicate reserved words in WinRunner®
• Customizeable settings for the TSL Editor

• Imporved support for Relative File paths

Version 1.1 (Build 219) - December 10, 2003:

• Mousewheel support added to grid controls.
• Bug fixed which truncated INI file data at 255 characters. A new limit of 8000 characters has been set to help ensure data integrity. This limit will be lifted when version 2.0 of the application is released.
• Minor bug fixes.

Version 1.1 (Build 217) - October 30, 2003:

• Added a new feature where you can modify how the library path is displayed in the created Function Generator code. Instead of displaying the full path to the library, you can optionally display just the library name or pass the library path to a function and return a modified value. Using this function, you could return any value to be used for displaying the library path.
• The Function Library Collection (FLC) file now stores references to Libraries using paths relative to the FLC file (when located on the same drive).
• Fixed a bug in the 'Save Library' and 'Save All Libraries' routines that would cause the application to crash if a library was moved/deleted after it was opened by the tool (and before it was saved).
• Added a menu item to the 'Library' menu that will refresh all libraries in the colletion. Previously, you could only refresh the current library.
• Added shortcut keys for the 'Find' and 'Find Next' menu options under the 'Function' menu.
• Fixed a bug experienced on some systems that prevented tab characters from being properly stored and retrieved for the sample code of a function.
• Fixed a bug causing extremely large libraries to fail to load when the 'func_detail' file was read.
• Application now draws using XP Themes when executed in Windows XP.
• Other minor bug fixes.

Version 1.1 (Build 207) - September 4, 2003:

• Added a new feature where any selected text in the TSL code can be easily assigned to a detail item of the currently selected library or function (i.e. select the summary in the TSL code and then assign the selected text as the function summary). This will help improve the input of new library data that is already commented in the TSL code.
• Fixed a bug in the 'Purge Invalid Libraries' functionality
• Updated "Patterson-Consulting.net" web references to reflect the redesigned site.

Version 1.1 (Build 206) - July 15, 2003:

• Updated shared components

Version 1.1 (Build 205) - June 19, 2003:

• Resolved an issue where some function information was not properly refreshed when refreshing a library
• 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
• Added sorting to several drop-down lists and grids
• Added on option to keep the 'Add Return Values' window open after inserting a return value to facilitate faster input
• Minor tweaks to the user interface

Version 1.1 (Build 204) - June 13, 2003:

• Resolved an issue when storing function generator TSL code within a library. Multiple-categories were not being properly added to the function generator.
• Resolved an issue where data imported from existing function generator TSL code was not excluded when a selected function was 'skipped' during import.
• Improved the technique used for adding Return Values. You can now add multiple pre-defined values in one step.
• Added a feature to search for WinRunner scripts that might include a call to the indicated function.
• Added a feature to copy integrated TSL WinHelp files to a specified location for ease in distribution.

Version 1.0 (Build 203) - June 5, 2003:

• Library 'Refresh' now includes the ability to refresh the library from file
• Updated the 'Custom Path' functionality of the drive selection control and address an issue with Windows XP
• Minor tweaks to WinHelp format, and resolved an issue with the 'Index' and 'Find' tabs in WinHelp generating an error
• Added 'Author', 'Summary', 'Creation Date', and 'Modified Date' columns to the 'Available Libraries' grid for quick reference
• Added 'Include in Generator' and 'Include in WinHelp' columns to the 'Available Functions' grid for quick reference
• Changed the default type for a new Return Value from 'string' to 'int' since most return values are error codes
• When entering the value for an Return Value of type 'int', you will now have a drop-down list of the common return value constants (i.e. E_OK, E_GENERAL_ERROR). When a value is selected, the description of that return value will automatically be entered as the description (unless a description already exists).
• Resolved an issue with certain details not be properly retrieved for array parameters

Version 1.0 (Build 202) -June 2, 2003:

• Minor tweaks to the function parser

Version 1.0 (Build 201) -May 30, 2003:
