Note1: You can download and test this version from "CTCenter->Update Manager" and select CT "Development Version"
Note2: Please post to this topic any suggestion or problem or fix for LAB CT ver 6.80



What Is LAB CT version ?

I attached a small project made in CTLAB 6.80.
(It is a small and simple utility to convert impulse patterns into the *.PWL format, that can be read by the SPICE electronic circuit emulator)

The units "Classes" and "SysUtils" are not found, if I press Alt+Up.
Other units e.g. "Forms" are found.

Edit:
This problem is only with CT6.8 32 Bit on Win7 32 Bit and on Win10 64 Bit.
CT6.8 64 Bit doesnt have the problem.
Older problems persist, I see no change.
End Edit.

Edit2:
It happens in 64 Bit also. (Worked once, then never again)
It is probably not dependent from the project.
With projects in Codeocean it happens also.
End Edit2

The project compiles and works ok.

The problem vanished, when I rebooted on both computers.

Usually I reboot my home computer (Win10 64 bit) only once a week.
Inbetween it goes into hibernate and quite often Codetyphon and other programs stay open over night.
Possibly thats the cause of the problem.
I was unable to reproduce it.

Thanks Sir

Sir,

where have the X-buttons on editor-tabs gone?
I miss these because it's very complicated now to deal with the tabs.

@Mr Riesterer:

Middle Button Click onto the Tab closes the Editor Window.
HTH

If you right click in the Editor window and choose "Options->Pages and Windows" and you can configure the behavior.
The checkbox for the Close "X" ist there, but it cannot been selected.

Windows API don't support Tabs with close button
GTK2, QT4 and QT5 APIs support Tabs with close button
Typhon IDE use only native API elements from supported platforms.

If you want Tabs with close button on windows,
my suggestion is to use "Custom Draw" Tabs components

I have now several times successfully installed CT6.7 or CT6.8 under Xubuntu AMD64, but it is not possible to compile an empty project. The application crashes immediately. With CT6.6 everything runs smoothly on Xubuntu AMD64. Win7_64 has no problems with CT6.7 or CT6.8.

I hope you can locate the bug.

Thanks, Vbxler

-Did you install System Libraries ?
-Your Xubuntu Version ?
-Your PC RAM etc ?

Hallo Sir:

1) Yes, several times
2) Linux version 4.15.0-45-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-031) (gcc version 7.3.0 (Ubuntu 7.3.0-16ubuntu3)) #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 29 16:28:13 UTC 2019
3) 8GiB+ 2GiB Swap

After the installation, I get the message that everything went well.
But can not compile a project without the IDE crashes.

Sir

1) We install a new Xubuntu (xubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso)
2) We install CodeTyphon LAB 6.8 with the default procedure more info (screen 1).
3) We test an empty project without any problem (screen 2)
4) We build some CodeOcean Projects without any problem (screen 3 and 4)

Now we are testing MultiArch CodeTyphon Installation.

How can I help you ?


PS: According our lab logs, we test CodeTyphon 6.70 before Final Release on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS MATE.
Tests on Debian 9.7 and Fedora 29 are Default GO-ON-GO Release Tests.

We finish and our lab tests for CodeTyphon MultiArch technology
on Xubuntu (xubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso)
without any problem.

Screen with Typhon32 and Typhon64,
yes we test empty project and all are OK

Thank you sir!

At the moment I have little time and will be working on version 6.60
because this version also meets all requirements.
In a few days I will perform a new installation.

Maybe it works then.

Next LAB Episode

Ultra Web Server + Pas2JS Server

Server Side Pascal it's a fact !!!!

After Pas2js client side web technology,
I want to say a BIG thanks to FreePascal Team for this new technology.

Future it's so exacting...

[ANN]

ADD pl_CEF4Typhon package to Typhon IDE Components System

Screen1: SimpleServer : HTTP and websockets server with CEF for communication between applications in localhost.
Screen2: Simple web browser;

on latest Windows 10 64bits Ent (1809)

Work in process...

Found a small bug In CT6.8 Typing enter while find components is empty shows an error "Cannot focus a disabled or invisible window."
CT6.8 32bit on Windows 7 64bit.
Thanks.

Thanks Sir
we will test and fix this

I made an (intentional) small testproject.

Initially I wanted to show, that the debugger does not step into FormatDateTime (and not into other routines, when these are in a *.inc file)

Then a new problem turned up, see the screenshot.
Both breakpoints look as if they have triggered, but the program did not stop there, I got this result without any interaction.
The debugger Output says: Stopped at line 17, but it has not stopped.
When I continue the program then the red squared Stop button stays red and only "Reset debugger" turns it ino the gray inactive state.

I am on WIN10 64 Bit.
The problem appears with Typhon 6.8 32 bit and 64 bit.
The exception window appears only in CT 64 bit, not in CT32 bit.

Addendum:
This error happens with default -O1 optimization.
(maybe FreePascal is faster than light? SCNR)

This error doesnt happen, if I compile the program with no optimization.
In this case the breakpoints behave normally.

It is, however, not possible to step into FormatDateTime();

(I did not attach a project for download, it is probably faster to type these 2 lines of code into a standard commandline project)

We release LAB CodeTyphon ver 6.80 Revision 006720
with a lot of new things...

A month of hard work from our LAB TEAM.

Please, test, report, suggest and
always have fun....
