What got fixed since Beta 3?

[Paolo F Cantoni]

The Release notes show what got fixed in Beta 2 and Beta 3, but there's no indication of what got fixed since Beta 3.

One example I was particularly interested in was:
[ch9702]Repository.GetDiagramByGUID updated to return Diagram object instead of general dispatch object
because I couldn't run many of my Add-Ins because of this defect.

Can there be an indication of these latest fixes?   Otherwise why bother with the Beta 2 and Beta 3?

TIA,
Paolo

Good question.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday when I went over the release notes.
I'm sure you've sent this to Sparx as well ?

Have now...   Once it was shown that it wasn't me misreading the Notes.

My understanding is that the release notes with build 904 are intended to describe all changes since the previous official build (8.0.864) and avoid getting bogged down in what changed between beta releases.

Below are the results from a quick text diff I ran between the readme.txt files with builds 902 (beta 3) and the official release of EA 9.0.904.  This should effectively give you an unofficial list of changes since beta 3.

HTH.

Hi,
I can confirm that this change was undone:
Repository.GetDiagramByGUID
All our Addins now work with the offical EA9 release - we had problems with the Beta's.
