OZ V4.6.1 Release Notes

12th October 2015 / 25th October 2015
OZ 4.6.1 is out! And it is one of the faster follow-up releases we have done so far. We have feature-enhanced this release with installable RAM applications. This powerful feature allows easy application integration by new Index menu commands <>INS and <>RMV. Lots of security have been implemented protecting 'In use' applications from removal. Suspended activities from installed application are marked with a '-' in the card section of the Index.
Installing an application has never been so easy : just mark the desired .APP file from the Filer and enter Index pressing INDEX key or []I. Read more about RAM installable applications HERE. A growing list of RAM applications can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/z88/files/Z88 RAM Applications/.
Lots of internal optimisations and a few bug-fixes were also done :
- Full usage of new memory explicit allocation API (using only the required space for installation)
- Menu handling of the Index has been rewritten for application install (and fix a bug in <>INFO key handling)
- Application static handle structure and related routines have been completely rewritten
- An old Handle leak bug has been fixed
- Date settings bug after <>INFO command fixed (V4.6.1)
- All details can be seen below in the issue list
