StyleList API Build History


12/16/00 First Release

8/7/02 Release

- Microsoft .lib and .h files added to distribution.

- Work done on help file - information on Visual C++ added, Visual Basic information updated.

- Bug fixed - abbreviation mode was often stripping punctuation, whether or not the user requested it.

- Additional tables SlStr1.Dbf and SlCo1.Dbf added to distribution package. See Files for more information on these two alternate tables.

- "Mr. John Smith" would upper case to "Mr. JOHN SMITH". Fixed.

- Table: Fax should expand to "Facsimile" (we aren't in the 60's any more).

- "Eds", "Note", and "Toy" to 4 letter word table.

- 600+ entries to the company tables. Many were acronym combinations (such as "LNB Bancorp") that would case properly as long as the user didn't monkey with the 4 letter word table (we're just playing it safe here). New companies on Nasdaq and the NYSE were also added - not a single dot-com! In fact, several companies actually dropped the ".com" from their name.

- Abbreviating, punctuation was sometimes getting stripped when it wasn't supposed to.

- Major revision of help files.


1/14/03 Release

- When casing small strings (such as "-") with Visual Basic, API would crash.

- Added more comprehensive examples for Borland C++, Visual Basic, Visual FoxPro, Visual C++, SQL Server 7, and SQL Server 2000.

- Added SLLastError function to better report initialization problems.

- Better error capturing where user has initialized without indicating the location of the StyleList lookup tables.

- Much work done on help file to match the quality of the Double Take API help system.
