TestLog Version History

Last updated 31/Aug/2016


Here’s a summary of all the changes that have been made in each version of TestLog.

 

Version 3.2 build 1000 31/Aug/2016

  • Minor update for new internal changes resulting from the use of an updated compiler
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when viewing reports

Version 3.1 build 1000 9/Feb/2015

  • Reverted the previous build changes to the handling of ctrl-a as it was preventing the ctrl-a command being sent to other applications when the edit window was open even if TestLog did not have focus. This should only be evident in some single line fields in Windows XP where ctrl-a will not work due to Windows XP limitations. The right click menu "Select all" option can be used instead.
  • Changed default directory for CSV and web exports to the current user "Documents" directory
  • The ID column can no longer be hidden in list views so at least one column is always displayed
  • Improved the error message when failing to create a report if the reports folder was missing
  • Changed the behaviour when generating a report when there was a planned end date, set older than the current date, and no actual end date set. Previously status changes (for progress reports) would not be shown after the planned end date as the graph would finish. Now the current date will be used for the end date.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when a new database could not be created in the selected directory (eg if permissions were preventing it)
  • Made some internal changes resulting from the use of an updated compiler

Version 3.0 build 1028 10/August/2010

  • Fixed bug in sort order of test cases for exported web pages and web version of TestLog
  • Fixed a bug in the templates that was preventing the title of test cases and project test cases from being edited correctly
  • Fixed a bug in the TestLog options where the "Incremental IDs on new" was linked to the "Incremental IDs on duplication" option, causing it to be set depending on the duplication selection.
  • Fixed a bug where the selected template for the web export was not always being applied.
  • Added a <h2> tag to project test suite names in web export (export to one file)
  • Added a <h3> tag to project report type headings in web export (export to one file)

Version 3.0 build 1027 21/September/2009

  • Added link to fault report ID field if using an external bug tracker in web version of test list report
  • Fixed the help icon on main toolbar not opening the help overview
  • Fixed a bug with the web export where links to test suite or test case names that contained some characters (several requiring HTML encoding, eg #) were not being generated correctly
  • Changed the CSV export for fields that begin with '-', '+' or '='so they begin with a space character and are wrapped in "" as a workaround for Excel. Previously it would consider it a formula and limit the number of imported characters.
  • Fixed a bug where renaming a test suite to a shorter name could write extra (unnecessary) XML to the saved file
  • Fixed a bug where editing an item in the web version and removing extra information could leave extra (unnecessary) XML in the saved file
  • Fixed a possible bug when checking for available write permissions when creating a new file that could sometimes prevent users creating a file even when they had correct permissions
  • Fixed a possible crash in the web version when viewing a report when the web server does not have permission to create files in the image director
