I just looked at the textField.Mask entry in the language reference…
It says Mask :
[quote]This item has been deprecated since version 2019r2 and should no longer be used.
Please use TextEdit.ValidationMask as a replacement.[/quote]
But when I click on the link for TextEdit.ValidationMask it does not exist in teh docs… Is something that wa planed and abandoned or an inadvertant API 2.0 doc leak?
Look there:
http://documentation.xojo.com/Special:RecentChanges
and wait the release of Xojo 2019r2.
BTW: no leak at all.
The latest release is 2019r1.1.
If the docs are talking about 2019r2, I guess, is a doc leak.
No, this is how the docs software works. Sometimes the information appears some days before the release, some days after the finished version.
If i have to guess, I wil say that Xojo 2019r2 will come very soon (as soon as a next Tuesday.
Did you noticed that the releases are public on Tuesdays ?
I am not here to reveal Xojos secrets, but what you wrote is not right.
I follow that link since years and things were like this since I forgetwhat year.
As always. If this will not be in three days, it will be in 3 + 7 [or 3 + (x * 7 days)]
Now, believe in what you want, this is not important.
Also, be in the bleeding edge is a bad thing too (things may move from day - n to the release date), and may lead into waste of time.
2019r2 isn’t even in beta yet. This is a docs leak.
