New Features

• Support for IBM PComm features:
  • Ability to use PComm keyboard layout files.
  • Added a default PComm keyboard layout.
  • Support for running PComm "Macro File" macros.
• Support for Micro Focus Rumba features:
  • Added a Rumba default keyboard layout template.

Fixes

API and Automation

• HLLAPI function 6 (SearchPS) will now find a string that spans more than one field.
• GetTextEx() method allows for the selection of a rectangular area of text to be returned.
• The API SearchText() function now correctly supports finding data on multiple lines of the Host screens.
• In a VT session, the reported row and column properties from the ControlKeySending and the ControlKeySendingEventAgrs events now always report the correct values.

• The old path is no longer read when you change the path to an existing legacy EXTRA! EDP file listed in HLLAPI ShortNameMapper.exe.
• Fixed issue for screen events that intermittently affected Host session documents that are not the active session or document, causing Unhandled Exception errors.
• Visual Studio 2008 can now correctly call the MyReflection.Start() method during a restart of a Reflection frame.

Keyboard

• Corrected a problem where characters were sometimes lost when sent to a UNIX or OpenVMS session via a barcode reader.
• Cursor movement and character input no longer intermittently lag and appear choppy as the user types in an AS/400 session.

• Migrated legacy EXTRA! keyboard maps now properly retain the CapsLock state.
• In an AS/400 session the Alt+SysReq key now properly works and does not trigger the workspace accelerator keys.
• Resolved an issue where in a 3270 session, when typing very fast and pressing the Left-Control key, the keyboard intermittently added the Control state to all subsequent keys pressed.
• “FILE” menu accelerator key sequence mnemonics now work correctly.
• Send Text/Send Keys combinations are now imported correctly from legacy EXTRA! keyboard maps.

Additional Fixes

• When an action is taken in an existing Reflection browser session that can cause a new browser to open, the new window now opens as an embedded browser session or tab. Previously, Web sessions opened links to new pages in new browser windows.
• The “Create Shortcut” option is now properly updated when using the Attachmate Customization Tool to create a Companion MSI and selecting "Installs only for the user who installs it" option.
• VT ReGIS graphic objects that are shaded by using text characters now display correctly.
• Sixel Graphics now display properly for all color settings of Microsoft Windows.
• Fix for intermittent FTP file transfer fails with "...connection cannot be established..." while actually downloading the file.

• Restored correct STRPCCMD functionality.
• The LastMouseEvent() method behavior in a hotspot-invoked macro now returns the location where the hotspot was clicked.
• The file Attachmate.Utilities.OfficeTools3.DLL now gets updated when installing over an Administrative Install.
• Fixed “Error writing to file: <path>\rftpcom15.dll” that could occur when applying service packs or hotfixes to an administrative install of Reflection that was created on Microsoft Windows 7.
• Corrected issue when using "medium" size text in Windows 7 where some dialog boxes were incorrectly painted.
• When using legacy-EXTRA! sessions, docked panes or ancillary windows are correctly aligned when tabbing between sessions.

Discontinued Features

• Attachmate is deprecating support for remote API access through the TCP/IP channel. Reflection 2011 R1 Service Pack 1 supports TCP/IP access for custom applications that are currently configured to use the TCP/IP channel but does not allow you to select or configure this channel. All support for TCP/IP access will be removed in Reflection 2011 Release 2.

Reflection X 2011 R1 SP1

There are new features and fixes in Reflection X Advantage 3.0 Hotfix 3 and Reflection X 14.1 SP1, both of which are components of Reflection X 2011 and Reflection Suite for X 2011.

Reflection X Advantage 3.0 Hotfix 3

The file you use to apply the fixes and features to Reflection X Advantage 3.0 varies depending on your operating system:

• If you run Reflection X Advantage 3.0 on a Windows platform, Reflection X Advantage 3.0 will be updated when you run reflect-2011-r1-sp1-w32.exe (see Obtaining the Service Pack).
• If you run Reflection X Advantage 3.0 on a non-Windows-based platform, download and apply the file appropriate for your operating system.

New Features

You can now load and start Reflection X Advantage sessions and clients from saved definition files without having to use the X Manager window. To support this, two new options have been added to the rxmgr.exe command line utility.

• Use -import to import a specified Reflection X Advantage definition file (*.rxd) before starting the X Manager user interface. You can specify the file using a file path or a URL.
• Use -noStart in combination with -import to import settings without starting X Manager.

Fixes

• This service pack installs Version 6 Update 23 of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). This JRE update addresses a potential security vulnerability with the Java –server switch. For current information about security alerts and advisories that may affect Reflection X Advantage, see Technical Note 2505.
• Window backgrounds are now correctly filled when ‘Backing store’ is set to ‘When Mapped.’
• Clicking the mouse button now produces expected results in some applications that had previously seen problems due to errors in the mouse coordinates in Reflection X Advantage. Before this fix, the user needed to reposition the window to get correct response to mouse clicks.
• Fixed a problem that caused overlaid display images due to errors in handling ClearArea and ReparentWindow requests.
• Fixed a problem that sometimes caused right-clicking on drop-down menus to fail.

Reflection X 14.1 SP1

New Features

• The Network Settings options for configuring IP macro expansion have been updated. For specifying a specific IP address, Reflection now detects all available IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces and displays a drop-down list of available options.
• Converted trace files now include Windows message names and time of day.
• The log file now shows starting and stopping times of Rx.exe.
• Negative display coordinates are now supported.
• A new setting is available to configure what happens to an existing log file when Reflection X is restarted. To configure this setting, go to View Settings > Append to an existing log file. When this setting is No (the default), the existing log file is replaced by a new log. When it is Yes, new log information is appended to the existing file.

Fixes

• Taskbar icons for minimized CDE host applications now disappear as expected.
• Arabic (iso8859-6) is now included in the list of available Windows fonts.
• The Reflection X Manager icon now remains in the System Tray after Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) is restarted.
• The Solaris XDMCP login screen now returns to view after the language option has changed.
• The Reflection X Profiler no longer closes with an application error when X terminal desktop is selected under Window Manager Settings and X Screen settings are also modified.
• ILOG pop-up windows now show correct window decoration (display of the title bar, close button, window border, etc.) This fixes a problem seen when running an X application called Quartus II.
• Fixed a problem that caused some characters to appear backwards (flipped sideways) when RENDER is enabled.
• Fixed display problems with the Host Key Authenticity dialog box.
• When Reflection Window Manager is enabled, the second X client window you open no longer displays behind the X Manager window.
• Motif X client windows no longer lose focus or move to the background as the result of user actions in pop-up windows.
• Error messages problems have been corrected for errors RX2158 and RX2159.
• Fixed a problem that caused Shift to remain in effect even when the Shift key is not pressed. This problem occurred when a computer-generated sequence of keystrokes (for example from autokey, sendkeys, or a voice recognizer) included a shifted key followed by certain "function" keys like home, end, insert.
