To permanently remove Protecode, remove pedigree (*.wd) and
policy (*.ppe) files from your workspace by searching for and deleting all
files with these extensions. Please exercise caution before performing this
step!
- Status column now included in Report Options.
- Report Options filter no longer display wildcard character
by default. An empty string is displayed by default and is equivalent to a
single * i.e. show all, no filtering.
- Report header indicates that report is showing filtered
data.
- Detailed report file section header is streamlined to
display only the full pathname of the file and clicking on it displays the
file contents.
- “Show copy/paste external content in report” has been
removed from the Eclipse Protecode preferences. This is now handled
directly through the filtering feature in Report Options.
- Default minimum lines of code and characters of code has
been raised to 20 lines and 500 characters.
- Ability to Select All/Deselect All licenses when
creating/editing a policy.
- Ability to remove users.
- “String index out of range” error message displayed on
startup.
- Projects outside the workspace directory structure are
handled correctly.
- Cleaned up several bad links in generated reports.
- Report Legend uses consistent terminology.
- Trying to report on a project with circular #includes or
#includes that refer to non-existent files will generate errors.
- Enterprise Adopter Report displays License Unidentified if
adoption is done at trunk level. Works well if same function is done below
the trunk.
- For CDT, if console output is turned off for artifact
creation (.o, .exe) will not be able track the files that were used to
build the artifact.
- When using the Enterprise Adopter, the report will not
appear unless the adoption takes place at a top level folder. The
workaround is to select the Adopted folder in the Package Explorer and run
the Protecode -> Report.
- Trying to report while or immediately after importing
files might result in inaccurate reports. This is due to identification
process taking place behind the scenes. Please allow few moments after
imports before trying to report. The identification process continues in
the background, so potentially some files may be unidentified shortly
after large imports.
- Registration email might be filtered as junk mail. Please
check your junk mail or add protecode.com to your trusted servers.
- Back button might have undesirable side effects such as
losing unsaved data. Please use menu to navigate the site and make sure to
save before navigating away from a page.
