• Window functions now only work for Mac with Cocoa. So we now require FileMaker 8.5 or newer on Mac for all functions touching windows.
• Updated Form Utility.
• Our Drag and Drop functions can't work on Windows as FileMaker overwrites plugin there.
• WebView.RenderImage now really has image type optional.
• Plugin Version function returns version now in format 2.4.0.xx where xx is the build number.
• Now includes Intel only version of plugin. You need that for a Runtime in the Apple Mac App Store.
• Graphicsmagick image references are now validated before being used. This avoids some trouble.
• Graphicsmagick functions WriteTo*Container now check if compression works.
• Window.SetCloseButton can now enable close button on runtimes on Windows.
• RTF function now handles unicode characters.
• Runtime solutions show first License dialog on first function call. (without license)
• Registration dialog now shows plugin version and last called function.
• Moving error handling so we return LastError to FileMaker instead of error message. So check lasterror of all plugin calls.
