Ą Fixed a problem causing faxed or printed lines to be truncated in some applications. Ą Fixed a problem with NBU Restore that would cause error -28207 and the unit to restart. Ą Fixed a problem identifying some new PCMCIA modems, including the Megahertz CruiseCard XJA3288 28.8 LandLine/Cellular modems. New changes of Interest to Developers in System Update 2.0 (526205): Ą The use of "protoNewSetClock" will now draw the entire clock graphic properly. Ą Fixed a problem that would prevent apps other than the I/O Box from owning Comm. Transports (documentation & other support elements to allow private Transports are not available as yet.) Ą The connection app now properly handles canceling of Keyboard Passthru mode for NCU. Changes of Interest to Developers present in this & earlier System Updates: Ą Fixed a problem with applications that allocate large Virtual Binary Objects and use them heavily. (This is particularly prevalent with applications that use the Newton Internet Enabler.) Ą Some internal (not all) elements of the eworld support were removed from the built-in Names app. Ą Gestalt selector 0x02000007 is defined to return a boolean indicating the presence or absence of a backlight mechanism. Ą The Calls app now broadcasts soup changes. Ą Calling SetInputSpec(nil) followed by SetInputSpec(validSpec) works correctly. Ą AddTag now calls EnsureInternal on its argument so it is safe to scrub a package containing the tag symbol. Ą Importing unit references from other packages now works even if the importer is activated before the exporter. Ą Undeclared locals in native functions are no longer mistakenly created as globals, leading to spontaneous resets in some cases. Ą Fixed a problem with changing sorting orders which could occur when switching between Swedish and English. Ą Pending alarms no longer trigger immediately after setting the clock to the day of the alarm. Ą The Stylewriter 1500 and 2500 have been added to the printer list. Ą A clipping/scaling problem with large pictures has been corrected. Ą Class 2 faxing now works as expected. © 1996, Apple Computer, Inc. All rights reserved.
