Users are urged to test as well data definition, change in definitions and entry in files. Also please comment the development on this list.
You can see more about the testing in the announcement mail sent a few days ago.
The following aspects will be fixed first: a. Handling of decimal point, date and time visually b. Autojump of a field in entry. E.g. in a one digit field move to next field after entry of one digit. c. Add to the help menu a "copy system & version to clipboard" d. Handling issues of varying size of length of texts in Linux versus Windows. To ensure cross-platform of files.
further comments:
re a: We attempt this strategy: The user will see according to local standard (. or , for numbers, /- for dates etc.). The physical epx file will contain a given specified standard. We never use thousands separator.
re c: we need this since versions will change often, and a given problem might have been fixed. But the user have currently no way of easily copying this information.
