WLanguage programming for iOS: - JSON: Ability to programmatically manipulate large (multi-GB) JSON files
| | New features and improvements specific to WINDEV Mobile 2025 SaaS version (Update 3) |
These features are only available in the SaaS version of WINDEV Mobile.
Note: To use these features, your project must be in "SaaS mode" (not available in dongle-based versions of WINDEV Mobile). For more details, see Using new features exclusive to WINDEV Suite SaaS 2025.
Project editor- Programming standard
- A new programming standard is now available, allowing you to authorize or prevent vocabulary mixing (data file / table) in your application's WLanguage code. This means that the WLanguage code must comply with the vocabulary standard specified for the project.
- Now, you can disable specific programming standard errors from the compilation errors pane.
- Technical documentation of the project
The technical documentation of an analysis now indicates whether the items in an encrypted data file are marked as GDPR-compliant. - Project loading
A new triangular progress bar can now be used while the project is being loaded.
Report editor- Control Templates in reports
You can now create a control template that can be used in the various report of a project. This control template can be integrated into any report. Any changes made to the control template will be propagated to all the reports that use it. - Report viewer tooltip
You can define a tooltip for each control in a report (Tooltip property). This tooltip will be displayed at runtime in the report viewer.
Code editor- Debugger: Breakpoints
You can now set breakpoints to run a memory diff.
This technique isolates resources that use memory in operations that should be memory-neutral. This allows you to improve the code and add memory freeing commands where necessary (unused queries, unused global object, etc.). - Vocabulary in WLanguage
The conversion of code into French or English takes into account the vocabulary chosen in the IDE (#Table or #DataFile). It is also possible to convert the WLanguage code of all project elements into the current vocabulary in the editor. - Code line numbers: The number of the current line of code is now highlighted in the code editor. This makes it easier to identify the number.
Software factory- New action
The "Delete a SCM branch" action is now available. - Rights management
To secure the execution of action plans, it is possible to implement a rights management system. This applies to the Software Factory, action plan libraries, action plans and configured action plans.
SCM (Source Code Manager)- Local history: When an element is checked back into the SCM repository, a history of this element is automatically created. This history allows you to keep track of changes you've made and undo certain changes, if necessary.
It is now possible to create a local history. In this case, the history of changes made is saved locally. This means you can create backup points and, if necessary, go back to a local backup. When the element is checked back into the SCM, you can keep the different versions of the element, or squash the different versions. - SCM Administrator:
- Error logs: The SCM administrator can now log errors encountered when manipulating the SCM database, for a given session. In the event of a problem, Technical Support may ask you to forward the generated log file.
- Repository backup: Full backups of the repository via the SCM administrator now generate a single archive file.
HFSQL - Password security policy
It is now possible to define a password security policy (length, passwords complexity, etc.):- programmatically.
- via the HFSQL Control Center.
- New SQL orders:
- LOCALTIME: Returns the server's local time (in date-time format).
- LOCALTIMESTAMP: Returns the server's local time in the local time zone.
- CURRENT_TIME: Returns the current time.
- CURTIME: Returns the current time.
- CURDATE: Returns the current date.
- HOUR: Extracts the number of hours.
- MINUTE: Extracts the number of minutes.
- SEC_TO_TIME: Converts a number of seconds into duration.
- SECOND: Extracts the number of seconds in an hour.
WLanguage programming- PDF documents:
