(M2)Add HRESULT to error message when unknown COM error raised in Dispatch |
| |
(M2)Added debug info to advise failure messages. |
| |
(M2)Added support for null dispatch object in putVariantDispatch. |
| |
(M2)Fixed memory leak in Variant.cpp zeroVariant method possibly related to previous fix proposed in SF 1689061 but never implemented. I guess we should fix it since people keep pointing it out |
| |
(M2)Variant.getString() now returns null for NULL or EMPTY Variants instead of throwing exception. |
| 3412922 |
(M1)Fix for: When a DispatchEvent is created with a COM object, the COM object is never released totally, and the destructor function is never called. |
| |
|
| Patches |
| 3377279 |
(M1)Fix possible exception. Added initializing Variant used to retrieve
the next value from IEnum
because some implementations call VariantClear on it before setting a new value |
| |
(M1)Isolate compilation of SafeArrayTest.java because it is UTF-16 and not UTF-8 |
| |
(M1)Changed windows version _WIN32_WINNT to 0x0500 to fix build with VS2010. (now 2000 or later) |
| |
(M1)Fixed the leak in Java_com_jacob_com_Variant_putVariantNoParam |
| |
(M1)Added Dispatch.Method to the invoke flags to call _NewEnum.
There are some non-conforming legacy implementations that expose _NewEnum as a method. |

(M4)Bit masking in Variant.getXXXRef() uses wrong mask allowing more than
one type to be seen as the requested type. Code that passed in the correct type always worked
but invalid types were not always detected. |
| 2935662 |
(M4)Error handling code crashes because of uninitialized data in Dispatch.cpp
Check for NULL fails. pfnDeferredFillIn pointer is not initialized, but it's not NULL. |

(M3) SafeArray#setString(*) incorrectly handles unicode strings |

(M2)System.getProperties call caused security exception in applet.
com.jacob.includeAllClassesInROT now acts as master switch for class/ROT control.
This change also has the side benefit that the PutInROT property is not
checked on every object creation for users who run in the standard
all classes in ROT mode. |

(M7) Jacob DLL name can now be customized to
support bundling of Jacob in other products. |
| 1845039 |
(M6) Jacob DLL names are now qualified by platform and
release. The JacobLibraryLoader now determines the correct 32bit or 64bit
dll based on the system architecture. Jacob.jar now also knows the version
of the dll it is looking for (by name) and loads the correct one. JWS clients
will have to modify their dll loaders. See: The JWS classloader sample |
| 1828371 |
(M4) Added VT_I8 support to SafeArray. |
| 1813458 |
(M3) Expand type support. Changed currency support
to use new Currency class. Added VT_I8 64 bit support. VT_I8 support
requires Windows XP or later. VT_I8 not supported by windows in
Windows 2000 and earlier. Added more primitive constructors to Variant. |

Jacob 1.13 is built using VC++ 2005.
That creates a dependency on the Visual C++ 2005 libraries and msvcr80.dll.
This library is normally installed on XP systems but may have to be manually
installed on older systems. The pagackage, often referred to as vcredist.exe
can be obtained from the MS downloads site.
If you are getting loader errors on this release or later when loading the
dll then you may be missing this library. |
