Novedades de la nueva actualización: Tasker 4.2.u1

[mlesir]

CONSEJO: Yo por lo menos me haría una copia de seguridad de Tasker y si lo tenéis también de App Factory antes de actualizar.

Pues abro este hilo para ver si entre todos conseguimos saber exactamente qué novedades trae esta nueva actualización. En cuanto vaya leyendo, con mi mal inglés, voy poniendo cosas. Espero que me echeis una manita y si vais viendo cosas postearlo y yo voy editando este primer post.

NOVEDADES: (En español están los cambios que he conseguido traducir, entender y poner en un lenguaje comprensible. Lo de entenderlo no es sólo por el inglés es que a veces no esta muy claro a que puñetas se refiere)

Bugfixes
action Destroy Scene: was crashing (dependent on timing) with overlay scenes occasionally
icon parameters with variable specification: when executed more than once (e,g in a loop) the variable was sticking with the first value
Goto, Label, wasn't working if label contained a variable
var tab/var selection dialog: indexed vars weren't sorted correctly by index
app creation: export of actions using image buffer was failing
new scene: element task: scene selector wasn't showing the new scene name
new scene: references to the new scene name were showing the problem icon
scaling scene elements with scene was sometimes resulting in a 1-pixel gap at right or bottom
attempted: fix for Wietse's 'invalid record' location warnings after reboot
JS: dynamic declarations of vars as both arrays or simple vars was only handling the array case
action labels with newlines were disrupting Run Log
HTTP Post: problem with non-ASCII character sets and a non-file body
action Variable Split: local var: was not causing an update of things referencing the resulting array
Elementos de escena Texto,Editar Texto y Botón: las variables locales no se actualizaban en los campos texto y Título
JS: function exit(): sometimes the JS would continue execution for a short time after the exit() (timing issue)
array pop/push wasn't broadcasting changes for local vars
action Element Value for spinner wasn't updating display or triggering the Value Set event
JS: enableProfile wasn't asking for right args in function selector and wasn't processing them properly anyway
was in some cases responding to variable changes which were prefixes of referenced variables
in some places, changes to local scene vars were not being reacted to
grid size was snapping scaled coordinates to grid, not underlying unscaled coords
global user (project) vars weren't alpha sorted in selection lists
action plugins weren't showing icon within the Plugin category
was accepting bundle attributes from plugins which later caused failed data load
scene element text: format Text With Links wasn't linkifying links
action Set Widget Icon: No Image was resulting in warning icon
action Say respects audio focus (but doesn't support ducking)
some misc crashes
action Goto, Start of Loop, wasn't acting like 'continue' as intended
action Goto: onto onto a previous loop from outside, wasn't starting loop at first index again as intended
file actions with Use Root checked: quote filenames to prevent problems with e.g. filenames with spaces
WebView scene element: wasn't displaying source specified with variable
state BT Status: wasn't matching parameter correctly
action Javascript: vars in path weren't being replaced
Acción llamar a un número: no aceptaba la referencia a un array.
action Take Photo: initial action creation, was giving spurious warnings about picture size
app creation: when monitor vars were only used in tasks, monitor was being killed on ending of a task
scene element menu: background was not noticing changes to colour vars

action create scene: wasn't initializing scene vars from task local vars
vars tab: wasn't showing vars from tasks in scene events
spurious warning on profile deletion "warning: no profile ID: xxx"

flag bt actions/states unavailable when no adapter on device

Editar Tarea: a veces cuando pulsabas largo en una acción te hacia scroll hasta el inicio de la tarea.
elements with items: bottom bar was over items
UI drag margin wasn't correctly adjusting for screen density (was too wide on very high res screens)
action Say/SayToFile: problems in more recent Android version (changed Android behaviour)
element background border: bottom and right had a 1-pixel thinner border than top and left
UI lock applies also to Menu / More / Run An Action (prevent e.g. disable Tasker that way)
plugin state context: disabling profile while plugin active: enabling at a later date was causing immediate activation without first querying plugin
plugin: exception handling plugin completion codes
plugin actions: Continue On Error was not being respected for timeouts
plugin actions: added TaskerPlugin.hostSupportsOnFireVariableReplacement (Activity) for backwards compat with older Taskers
action Popup Task Buttons: bad link to help text

unchecking profile property 'Restore Settings' wasn't always being handled correctly in combination with other profiles referencing the same setting(s)

webview element: alert and other js dialogs weren't workingw
Changes
resolving math expressions in task edit screen: don't give warnings, probably come from undefined local vars

%BLUE: was only reacting to on/off states, not in-between
menu scene elements: accept (scene) local vars when specifying a var to fill contents
scene elements, colour parameters: accept (scene) local vars
