- Rewrote OCR plugin with tesseract 3.
- Changed PNG Plugin on Linux links to local png library of linux installation. This avoids a crash on some linux systems.
- Changed WinUSBMBS class so that WinUSB.dll is loaded dynamically.
- Now all plugins are compiled on Mac OS X 10.8.
- All plugin parts are now linked with Mac OS X 10.7 SDK. Older functions are loaded on demand. This can mean that QuickDraw functions deprecated in Mac OS X 10.4 may stop working with Mac OS X 10.8/10.9 when Apple removes them from the frameworks.
- Internal conversion from PicHandle to Picture now always converts to bitmap in order to avoid leak in Real Studio. see Feedback case 22002.
- Improved speed for QTPictureMovieTrackMBS.AddPicture a little bit.
- Improved MD5 function's performance. Plugin MD5 is faster than Real Studio built in functions.
- Improved OpenMovieWithCustomQTDataHandlerMBS to reduce crashes and have it work better. Also we now have only one AES mode and a new XOR2 mode.
- Improved String handling in SQL Plugin when using with RecordSet class.
- Changed ABPickerMBS.InstallEvents method to raise exception on non Carbon targets. This method can only work on Carbon. For Cocoa, please use ABPeoplePickerViewMBS class.
- Changed all Handle Properties back to Integer instead of Ptr due to bug in Real Studio (Feedback case 21100).
- Changed functions for printing htmlviewer/webview on Mac to not reset page settings too often.
- Changed Length and Time properties to be Int64 in VLCMediaPlayerMBS class.
- Changed plugins to include more function names so debug reports look better.
- Changed QTImporter plugin part to work on console mostly. So StringToPictureMBS works now there. As this relays on QuickTime, it could of course fail. And it does not work on Linux.
- Changed SQL Plugin to now work internally with UTF-8 if possible.
- Changed VLCEventManagerMBS class to execute events on main thread.
- In working around Feedback case 11329 for some clients with huge projects, we split some more plugin parts.
- Modernized WinSpeechMBS class.
- Moved to newer Plugin SDK for RS 2012.
- Now properly handles workaround for case 19282 in all plugin parts (leak in REALLockPictureDescription).
- Now using REALObjectIsA in our plugins instead of own way to check classes. Works fine in Real Studio 2009 to 2012.
- Renamed SaveProfileToString to SaveProfileToMemory for returning a memoryblock.
- Several methods in SQLCommandMBS class are now properties to make debugging easier.
- Split Java, HTMLViewerDOM, QuartzCore, PDFKit and CF plugin parts.
- Warning: Zip file classes use a lot of stack space. If running in a thread, you need to make sure the thread has big stack (1 MB) instead of smaller default size.
- Removed CDMissingFunctionExceptionMBS class.
- Removed PackCursResourceMBS function.
- Removed CDBaseChartMBS.LoadLibrary as now everything is static linked for ChartDirector plugin.
- Removed deprecated functions (by Apple) from CGDisplayMBS class: BitsPerPixel, BitsPerSample, SamplesPerPixel, BytesPerRow, BaseAddress, BaseAddressAsMemoryBlock, BaseAddressForPosition and BaseAddressForPositionAsMemoryBlock.
- Removed data source for SQL Plugin. Please create connections only in code to database, not in IDE. If someone really uses this, we can bring it back.
