Is it possible to see whats in the patch release without having to download and install the product.

Also where a patch is sent for a limited number of platforms, will there be any indication as to why it has only been sent for a limited number of platforms, or will the other platforms be available in due course.

Actually the summary of changes can be found in:

   FGLDIR/release/readme.txt
 
(not release.txt as written by Olivier)

Detailed changes for each commit/build are logged in:

  FGLDIR/release/changes.txt

Here are the changes since build 1138 (first release):

=======================================================================
build 1148
Enhancement: fgldbsch extracts now more MySQL types from database schema.
fgldbsch can now extract MySQL *TEXT types as Informix TEXT, *BLOB, BINARY,
VARBINARY types as Informix BYTE, YEAR as DATETIME YEAR TO YEAR and BIT
types as Informix SMALLINT.

build 1147
Multiple dialogs: DISPLAY ARRAY, INPUT ARRAY: must emulate cursor keys when
changing the current row (via mouse click).

Multiple dialogs:
- INPUT ARRAY(COUNT = value): fixed bug if value less then 0.
- ATTRIBUTE(MAXCOUNT=value): if MAXCOUNT is less then COUNT (or getLength())

  denies inserting rows into the array.

bug 8981: Internal error when COUNT=-2 in INPUT ARRAY WITHOUT DEFAULTS.

build 1139

  works like key up.
- ATTRIBUTE(CANCEL=false) must disable both, CANCEL and CLOSE.

bug 8983: TAB key doesn't work in DISPLAY ARRAY with FGL_USENDIALOG=1

About the limited number of platforms:

Port and QA tests takes time and resources.

We provide Patch Releases for a limited number of platforms to have a better reactivity.

If really needed (blocking bug), we can make a special port for a specific platform on demand.
