The ]CreateProject -variables option now has the value "binary" in addition to "on" and "off". If this is in effect all variables in the namespace-tree of the project being created will be written to individual component files with type .binary rather than being encoded in APLAN and written to .apla text files.

This option is not available to ]SetChanged when creating a new variable in an existing project but if ]SetChanged discovers a .binary file already associated with an existing variable then the new value will be written unencoded to the .binary file.

Acre Desktop - Release Notes

Mainly fixing bugs but significant changes regard:

• modifier -variables='Off'|'On' and config option Variables←'Off'|'On' to restrict or permit the saving of variables.
• automatic renaming of files when an item's type changes to prevent the most common cause of multiple files representing the same named item.
• config option SCMexit←'#.function.name to include a hook (user exit) to permit intervention regarding an external source code manager.

Henceforth any significant commit will also give rise to a new release.
)LOADing acre.dws from that release, which can be unzipped anywhere, will install acre in any Windows Dyalog v14.0+ and non-windows v16.0+.

Acre 5.0.6+137 2019-02-26 12.45

Acre Desktop - Release Notes

Contents of a project's config file acre.config are now reflected in the space "AcreConfig" that is injected into the project.
Keys required by acre are still corrected for case but others remain as typed. However, required or not, multiple keys that resolve to the same name when case is ignored will be reduced to the first alphabetically.

The Saved: #.project.whatever message issued from an edit is now sent to the session in addition to the log window and file.
The default state of the message log window is now hidden. Any of

     ]acre.log show
     ⎕UCMD'acre.log show'
     ⎕SE.acreAPI.log'show'

will bring it into view and can be added to the StartUp parameter in acre.config or a function already called thence.
