Microsoft has made public the "hotfix" which addresses the Source Code Control (SCC) bugs we reported.  This is a replacement for the MSENV.DLL, so if you want to use this, be forewarned....

http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=975247&kbln=en-us

They are still working on the knowledge base (KB) article, but it's basically for a couple specific fixes.

I have also sanitized our "New SCC Instructions" document (MSWord Document) that I created to get the QA folks rolling in the testing of SCC in PB.NET.
Currently, we believe that SCC is complete, but I'm sure there are lurking edge conditions that I have not seen (and addressed...).

Like always, report any issues in the Beta newsgroup.

Be safe, Have fun!

This is for PowerBuilder.NET version 12 - BETA
There are a few registry entries to bypass some checks when opening an editor.  These can be useful when the language system believes there to be some sort of inconsistency and you cannot fix it using any other technique.

These are all located in a single location, but it may change by GA, so remember that....

\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\
        AppEnv\9.0\Apps\pbshell_6082....7729\General

FCOpenEditorIntegrityCheck
Type:  REG_SZ
Values:  "true" or "false" (default is true)
Purpose:  Performs a deep integrity check of the object before opening.

FCOpenEditorCheckAncestor
Type:  REG_SZ
Values:  "true" or "false" (default is true)
Purpose: Checks whether any ancestor objects are already open for edit.

FCOpenEditorCheckDescendent
Type:  REG_SZ
Values:  "true" or "false" (default is true) 
Purpose: Checks whether any descendent objects are already open for edit

FCOpenEditorCheckNested
Type:  REG_SZ
Values:  "true" or "false" (default is true)
Purpose: Checks if any already open editor has an instance of the object being opened for edit.

Some good news pieces showing up in anticipation of PB12.NET.
Did I mention that the IDE is being developed mostly here in Concord Mass?

Some interesting numbers about worldwide market shares of Smartphones (not dumbphones since those are so uninteresting to me).

First - the handset sales - for Q1-2009 (Gartner link (1) below)
a) Total Smartphone sales over 36.4 Million units, 12.7 percent from same period last year.
b) Regular mobile phone sales of 269 Million units, an 8.6 percent decrease.

Another report contained the OS break outs - for Q4-2008 (Gartner link (2) below)
a) Rank 1 - Symbian - 47% sales market share
b) Rank 2 - RIM - 19%
c) Rank 3 - Windows Mobile - 12%
d) Rank 4 - iPhone - 10%

A totally different site, tracks advertising "traffic" - a side effect of the online browsing advertising impressions.
This site (www.admob.com) shows that active mobile web users are by far iPhone/iTouch users.
These numbers are for March 2009.
a) Rank 1 - iPhone O.S. - 43% traffic share
b) Rank 2 - Symbian O.S. - 36%
c) Rank 3 - RIM - 9%
d) Rank 4 - Windows Mobile - 5%

This conference is more in my line - both developer centric AND on Saturday/Sunday.
Yup - we don't miss any "real" work and this looks to be very developer centric with little marketeer / mousketeer fluff.

Yes - I'll miss church that morning, but I'll be with fellow nerds and geeks!!!
(and since Saturday Shabbat is supposed to be a JOYOUS day - well - what is more joyous than an iPhone developer conference!  and.... I don't consider 'learning' to be melachah...)
