Version 1.4.1 - July 1st, 2011

• new debugging features: Store requests and errors in log file and Enable "Show Source" context menu.
• modified how SCRIPT_NAME and SCRIPT_FILENAME PHP variables are created.
• added REQUEST_URI and QUERY_STRING PHP variables.
• improvement: when requested URL contains no filename, e.g. http://heserver/folder1/, application now redirects to http://heserver/folder1/index.php
• removed hard-coded max execution time parameter (was set to 0).
• small minor changes.

Version 1.4 - June 21st, 2011

• New experimental multithreading support for your PHP applications. This makes GUI applications faster and more responsive while processing complex tasks and PHP scripts.
  Note: you can disable multithreading support in PHP Settings / Main Settings.
• Added experimental support for flush() - it will work only if you do not disable multithreading support. Remember that some versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer will only start to display the page after they have received 256 bytes of output, so you may need to send extra whitespace before flushing. A sample is available in the General Demonstration.
• Fixed ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll problems related to cURL.
• Fixed access violation when you open a menu item such as Help -> About while the page is refreshing.
• Fixed missing JavaScript error notification: ExeOutput did not display usual JS error notifications, even though you have the Visual Controls > IE Browser > ScriptNoErrorMsg option unchecked.
  IMPORTANT: do not forget to enable this option if you want to disable JS errors.
• Added IE7 compatibility mode option: if you want your application to use the IE7 rendering engine, even if IE8 or IE9 is set up. Option available at: Application Settings > Visual Controls > IE Browser > UseIE7CompatibilityMode
• You can now define whether third-party resources such as PDF, MP3, FLV, MP4... should be extracted to disk or virtualized (PHP Settings / Content Filetypes).
• Fixed require_once / include_once and similar problems that could occur in some cases.
• Added isappterminated global variable. It is set to "1" when the application is terminated. Useful for an infinite loop in PHP to find out whether it should exit. For instance, use this PHP code in your loops: if (exo_getglobalvariable("isappterminated", "0") == "1") break;
• Fixed: you can now remove empty folders with the Clean button in File Manager.
• Improved text compression.
• Improved skin engine.
• Improved internal behaviors.
• Updated demonstration and documentation.

Version 1.3 - April 28th, 2011

• new EnableIE9GPUMode property (Application Settings > Visual Controls > IE Browser)
  Allows your application to use GPU Rendering mode (hardware acceleration). By default, it will use Software Rendering mode. Only applicable if Internet Explorer 9 is installed on the end user's computer.
• new NoForceIEStandardMode property (Application Settings > Visual Controls > IE Browser)
  When set to False (default), webpages are displayed in IEn Standards mode, regardless of the !DOCTYPE directive. When set to True, only webpages containing standards-based !DOCTYPE directives are displayed in IEn mode. (n = 8 if IE8 is installed, n = 9 if IE9 is installed).
• new project wizard look.

• new improved script editor with code auto completion (CTRL+SPACE), parameters help (SHIFT+Click), better syntax highlighting.

  Lets you change the User Agent of the browser. If you leave it blank, the default user agent will be used (for instance, with IE9 installed, it could be "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)").
• PHP's $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] works now.
