SoftVelocity released Clarion 9 build 10294 on August 1 2013. Here are the release notes:

FEATURE:  You can now force dlls to be copied to the destination directory of the .exe using the LibAlwaysCopyList.xml file located in the <appdata>\SoftVelocity\Clarion\9.0 folder

CHANGE: Update Application tree 'Sort By Date' icon
FIX: If you created/copied a local redirection file while a project was open, the context menu item "Edit Redirection File" accessed from the project node in the solution explorer would open the base redirection file rather than the new redirection file
FIX: If you deleted the local redirection file while a project was open, the context menu item "Edit Redirection File" accessed from the project node in the solution explorer would throw an exception
FIX: Appearance Editor was missing an example of the checkbox menu items
FIX: Changing the fonts directly from the TextEditor Options, or popup optionswas not preserved

In comparing 10294 to 10274 I noticed the addition of some DLLs:

Those back end bindings are Clarion.NET DLLs. Were they included accidentally? I looked around a bit more and discovered that the SoftVelocity.Clarion.* DLLs may be new to this directory, but they're also in the bin directory. In fact a number of Clarion.NET DLLs have been shipping for some time now even in Clarion 8, including:

  • SoftVelocity.Clarion.ClarionCodeProvider.dll
  • SoftVelocity.Clarion.Classes.dll
  • SoftVelocity.Clarion.CompilerMessages.dll
  • SoftVelocity.Clarion.Design.dll
  • SoftVelocity.Clarion.FileIO.dll
  • SoftVelocity.Clarion.Files.dll
  • SoftVelocity.Clarion.LINQToFileProvider.dll
  • SoftVelocity.Clarion.LINQToFileProviderNetDrv.dll
  • SoftVelocity.Clarion.Procedures.dll
  • SoftVelocity.Clarion.Runtime.Classes.dll
  • SoftVelocity.Clarion.Runtime.Procedures.dll

Make of that what you will.

The one truly new file, Clalits.dll, is part of the SQLite support:

With the exception of one Assert statement in SystemString.clw, all of the changes from build 10274 are in the binaries.
