RegexMagic™ Version History

Software Quality at Just Great Software

Don't let the long lists of issues on this page make you think our products have a lot of problems. Quite to the contrary. All the bugs listed below are bugs that we have fixed. Many of these are corner cases reported by only one or perhaps a handful of our customers. Other software companies often don't spend any effort addressing such issues, much less list them publicly. We take pride in producing high quality software, and often release free updates to ensure you won't have any problems with our software.

Your purchase also comes with one year of free major upgrades. So don't worry if there might be a new major upgrade around the corner just because it's been a while since the last major upgrade. If there is one around the corner, you'll get it free, without having to ask. (But you can keep the old version if you prefer.)

If you ever hit a snag with RegexMagic, check here if you have the latest version. If you do, simply report the issue on the forum and we'll help you out as soon as we can.

RegexMagic 1.0.5 - 2 February 2010

This release fixes one bug that we missed in version 1.0.4. Loading a formula from a library did not properly update the Match panel, causing access violation errors if you tried to access something on the Match panel.

RegexMagic 1.0.4 - 19 January 2010

New features:

Assistant: Follow Mouse item in the context menu that toggles whether the assistant displays the hint for the control the mouse is pointing or the control that has keyboard focus. When the mouse is over the assistant, it always displays the control that has keyboard focus.
Assistant: Select Font item in the context menu to select the font used to display the assistant's hints.

Bug fixes:

Action: Replacing a field that is also part of a capturing group no longer results in auto-generated capturing groups that conflict with the existing capturing group.
Library: If a library was already loaded, starting with a blank library and adding a formula sometimes caused RegexMagic to get stuck on access violation errors.
Match: If the contents of the Match panel were scrolled down, the contents of the Match panel were rearranged incorrectly when making a change such as selecting a different pattern for a field.
Menu and toolbar icons were gray or black squares on Windows 98, ME, and 2000.
Pattern: Regex: Backreferences in the regex were not updated if the capturing group numbers shifted due to capturing groups generated for earlier fields in the formula.
Pattern: Regex: Capturing groups in the regex were not taken into account when determining the backreferences for capturing groups defined on the Action panel.
Pattern: Regex: Repeating a field that uses the "regular expression" RegexMagic pattern did not properly group the pattern's regular expression to repeat it as a whole.

RegexMagic 1.0.3 - 26 August 2009

Improvements:

Forum: Attaching formulas now uses the caption of the first sample as the default file name, allowing multiple formula attachments to be differentiated.
Forum: Pressing Ctrl+C while the focus is on the list of conversations or the list of messages copies the URL of the selected conversation or message.
Forum: regexmagic:forum and regexbuddy:forum URLs are now highlighted in the body text of forum messages allowing links to other messages to be included. Double-clicking them opens the message in RegexMagic or RegexBuddy.
Match: The contents of the Match panel can now be scrolled with the mouse wheel after clicking on some blank space on the panel.
Match: The list of fields can be scrolled with the mouse wheel after clicking on some blank space on the "fields in the regular expression" group or the scrollbar for the fields.
Pattern: Date and time: Auto-detect 20090602T170000Z.
Pattern: Date and time: When forcing date/time detection, detect numbers such as 20090112 as date patterns.
Regex: Repeating a field with a literal text pattern that consists of a single character no longer puts a needless group around that character.

Bug fix:

Pattern: Basic characters: The "line breaks" checkbox did not update itself correctly when selecting a different field or a different pattern.

RegexMagic 1.0.2 - 5 August 2009

Bug fixes:

Dual monitor layouts should be disabled when there's only one monitor.
Pattern: Date and time: Marking text consisting only of punctuation commonly used as date or time separators caused RegexMagic to auto-detect the date and time pattern.
Regex: Date and time patterns using whitespace did not correctly generate the regex for Java in free-spacing mode.
Template Editor: Downloading syntax coloring schemes via the template editor did not work.

RegexMagic 1.0.1 - 28 July 2009

Bug fix: When Unmarking fields on the Samples panel deleted the field of which the Match panel was showing the pattern, that deleted pattern would remain visible, causing access violation errors if you tried to edit the pattern.

RegexMagic 1.0.0 - 22 July 2009

First public release of RegexMagic.
