Release 26.1 (Q2 2026)

• Fix: many fixes related to DPI scaling. I.e. when multiple monitors are configured with different scaling (especially different from 100%). Includes scaling of fonts, bitmap and UI components (widgets).
• Fix: display of very long lines in a text editor/inspector (workaround Windows 16bit line limit)
• Fix: due to a bug in enumeration datatypes, the size of ".ets" files grew over time to huge sizes. This had no effect on the execution, but made load/save times almost unacceptably long by storing/reloading unneeded data.
• Feature: Qt-Plugin supports Qt6.8 (Delivered versions for QT and build environment)
• Feature: improved search text box behavior in text editors (type RETURN, CMD-f or CMD-b while box is open) and back to original position button added.
• Feature: Improved/Fixed Number stack:
  • Enhanced multiprecision numbers (<float>q, <float>Q constants)
  • Float32 numbers (<float>f)
  • Integer freezeValues in exponential notation (eg. 1e5)
  • Recognize type specific infinities eg. "inf.0", "inf.0f", "inf.0q" etc. (useful when parsing/receiving values from the outside world)
  • Recognize type specific NaNs eg. "nan.0", "nan.0f", "nan.0q" etc. (useful when parsing/receiving values from the outside world)
  • fixed/added missing trigonometric functions for multiprecision floats and complex numbers (eg. arcTan)
  • inspector (and activitylog as a consequence) show the type of a float (suffix 'f', 'q', 'Q' etc.)
• Feature: function to upload/download files from/to remote CBridges (for testData and binaries)
• Performance: execution of elmentary Smalltalk and JavaScript actions tuned for speed (Jitter improvements)
• Feature: OLE for 64 bit architectures
