Hello to all,

2021.3 (09/24/2020)

* Fix  a bug in the Typeahead plugin's control, which doesn't maintain the expected height, comparing with other inputs controls. Thanks Desmond for the report!

DecSoft (In thread: New HTML Compiler 2021.3)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft HTML Compiler with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2021.3 (09/23/2020)

* Add the new Close sample app, which shows how we can react when the user wants to close the app, but also uses all the new Javascript external stuff which has been added in this release of the product.

* Add the new dhc.app.close() external Javascript function, which allows to close the app programmatically. Take a look at the recently added Close sample app.

* Add the new dhc.events.onCloseQuery() external Javascript function / event, wich you can use to react when the app go to be close by the user, for example. Take a look at the recently added Close sample app.

* Add the new dhc.isRuntime() external Javascript function in order to know if our app is running at designtime opened in DecSoft App Builder or if it's running alone in a compiled executable. This can be useful sometimes, for example, you can take a look at the recently added Close sample app.

* The permissions to access the Microphone, Camera, Geolocation, Notifications, Generic Sensors and the Clipboard Read are automatically granted now, avoiding the annoying default browser's dialog asking to the user.

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft HTML Compiler with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2021.2 (09/22/2020)

* Add the new dhc.folders.getTempDir(), dhc.folders.getUserDocumentsDir() and dhc.folders.getUserDesktopDir() external Javascript functions. For more information you can take a look at the app's external Javascript documentation and also at the Files sample app.

* Reorganize the dhc.* external Javascript functions into categories, right now files, folders and dialogs. We do that in order to avoid possible identifiers collisions and also for a better understanding of the available external Javascript functions. The documentation and the Files sample app has been updated accordingly.

* Fix a bug in the external Javascript dhc.deleteDir() function, which indicates to use a "dirPath" argument, but in fact expected a "filePath" argument. Now the function expected the same than the documentation establish: a "dirPath" argument.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2021.1)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2021.1 (09/21/2020)

* This DecSoft App Builder release is a great step into the future, since, like our current generation of DecSoft HTML Compiler (recently published), say goodbye to the venerable WebView based in Internet Explorer and say welcome to the Microsoft Edge WebView2. 

* Due to the usage of the Microsoft Edge WebView2, the internal debugger is no more an external program, that is, the apps are launched now in a dock panel in the IDE, more easy and faster. We continue having the Developer Console at our service anyway.

* By the way, as an user of DecSoft App Builder, maybe you want to take a look at the new generation of our DecSoft HTML Compiler product, which now can perfectly compile and convert modern HTML apps (for example, created by DecSoft App Builder) into standalone executables for both Microsoft Windows 32 and 64 bits. Get more information and download the demo version of DecSoft HTML Compiler in our website!

DecSoft (In thread: New HTML Compiler 2021.1)

Hello to all,

Here is the first public release of the new generation of DecSoft HTML Compiler. Enjoy it!


2021.1 (09/20/2020)

* After months of hard work we are proud to publish the first public stable release of the new generation of DecSoft HTML Compiler. We hope this journey just begin and we can enhance this product with a lot of future releases.

For current DecSoft HTML Compiler customers, the below post text can be interesting, since compare a bit the previous generation and the new generation of DecSoft HTML Compiler:

 1º Say good bye to the venerable Microsoft Internet Explorer WebView and say welcome to the modern Microsoft Edge WebView2 based in Edge Chromium. The DecSoft HTML Compiler generated apps continue to be running standalone, with the only dependency of the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime, and, the ability to install it if it's missing in the user's computer and you wanted to do it from the app itself.

2º Say also good bye to previous limitations, for example, in order to make AJAX request to your app's local files, play local audios and local videos, etc. With the new DecSoft HTML Compiler all of these is possible, and, for example, applications created by DecSoft App Builder can perfectly be compiled using the new DecSoft HTML Compiler and run like a charm.

3º Like the current generation of DecSoft App Builder, the new DecSoft HTML Compiler will be offered for both Microsoft Windows 32 and 64 bits. Additionally, the new DecSoft HTML Compiler can compile apps into executables for Microsoft Windows 32 and 64 bits (not only for 32 bits like now): it's even possible to create executables for Microsoft Windows 64 bits from Microsoft Windows 32 bits.

4º The new DecSoft HTML Compiler has been written from the scratch, applying the experience that we get while developing the current DecSoft App Builder. This have lot of beneficts, just to mention some of them, now it's possible to work with various HTML apps at the same time in the program, we can now cancel the compilation of an app, we avoid modal dialogs always that it's possible and many, many more characteristics.

So I am very excited with this new project, because the ability to compile DecSoft App Builder created apps using DecSoft HTML Compiler, because the use of the new Microsoft Edge WebView2 based in Edge Chromium. However, the new DecSoft HTML Compiler wanted to continue offering the features that make to the current DecSoft HTML Compiler a good product:

1º Your app's files are never extrated into the user computer. The generated app's executables (now for both Windows 32 and 64 bits) is the only file that your users needed to run your app, no other dependency is required. You can continue using dozens of different GUI themes in your app's executables. In few words, we wanted to maintain the best that the current DecSoft HTML Compiler can offer right now.

2020.97 (07/26/2020)

* The app Text Search tool reduces a bit the searching feedback in order to increase very, very much, the search speed, which is now almost instantanlly. The app Text Search tool is faster than never before due to the reduction of certain small feedback (basically "where we are" in the search) that the Text Search tool shown in the past.

* The app functions manager show different popup (contextual) menus for the functions list and the function's arguments list. Additionally the arguments list popup menu, as well the functions manager toolbar, includes now two new elements that allows to move up and down the function's arguments.

* This release of DecSoft App Builder (the IDE, the Debugger and the Command Line Interpreter programs) has been builded using the latest version of Embarcadero Delphi, which is the IDE in which DecSoft App Builder is developed. The latest version of the Embarcadero Delphi's compiler introduces several fixes, changes and enhancements, so we get the benefits of these improvements.

DecSoft (In thread: New App Builder 2020.96)

Hello to all,

Here is a new DecSoft App Builder with the below changes, fixes and enhancements:


2020.96 (07/24/2020)

* Add a couple of new options in the Cordova -> Android and the Cordova iOS options tabs in order to allows to specify the app's Cordova Android version as well the app's Cordova iOS version. By default these options are empty and this mean that the Batch and Shell files prepared by DecSoft App Builder uses the default Cordova Android / Cordova iOS version. We can specify here the versions to be used, so the generated Batch and Shell files clearly requires such specific versions of Cordova Android  / Cordova iOS in order to be used.

* The Cordova iOS deploy target option is now set to iOS 11.0 by default. This means that we can be ready to use in our apps the WKWebView engine provided by Cordova iOS 6.x. Cordova iOS 6.x, however, requires a minimum deploy target of 11.0. Read more about how to use the WKWebView in the DecSoft support forum.
