1.0 Legato IDE and Script Language

Note: These notes are a consolidation of changes changes and improvements from 1.6f/6.4a to 1.6j/6.5c.

This version of Legato introduces functionality to the XBRL Model to support xBRL-CSV. This is an early preview for testing and and planning as xBRL-CSV is adopted in the US.

1.1 IDE Improvements

SDK Help

–   Improved automatic SDK Help download (Legato IDE) to check for open windows prior to download. This test is only performed if the process must be elevated because the installation is in a protected area such as “Program Files”. If there are unsaved changes, the operation is not allowed to proceed. If all windows have been saved, then the user will be queried as to whether to continue.

–   If the process does not need to be elevated to download the SDK help, the SDK will be displayed after the download.

–   Added SDK help download to the Help | Legato function. It follows the same rules as the above for elevation requirements.

SDK Documentation

–   Reorganized the INI, Application Preferences and Registry documentation to help clarify operation and applicable use of the related API functions.

1.2 Script Engine

Parsing/Compiling

–  Corrected an internal error message with regard to the return statement, when the statement is structured as a returned literal value without the ending semicolon. This would result in an internal error message when a run time error message should have been generated.

1.3 API Function Improvements

File Types

–  Added subtypes for JSON for XBRL-JSON, XBRL-CSV and XBRL Model:

FT_JSON              JavaScript Object Notation
FT_JSON_UNKNOWN      Unknown or Unspecified JSON (same as FT_JSON)
FT_JSON_XBRL_JSON    xBRL-JSON
FT_JSON_XBRL_CSV     xBRL-CSV
FT_JSON_XBRL_MODEL   xBRL-Model (OIM)

Log

–  Added optional font name and size parameters to the LogDisplay function.

Strings

–  Added begins with and ends with option parameters to the CompareString function to allow for easy testing of prefixes and suffixes on strings. Also added case sensitivity flag to the options. If options are not specified, the function will operate as previously specified in the SDK documentation.

–  Added limitations to the response values of the CompareString and CompareStringNoCase functions such that these functions may only return 1, 0 and -1. The Microsoft CRT will sometimes return a negative or positive number rather than -1 or 1 if the strings do not match.

EDGAR

–  EDGARNextMakeAPICall — Corrected an issue that would cause the supplied headers not to be added to the request.
