Standardized all csproj files on Framework 4.0

02/04/2010

gmBasic
[+] Upgrade to V0989b6
[+] Added <select AspCodeClass=on|off> default = on.
This setting provides an alternative migration of ASP pages that
more accurately preserves legacy application functionality, particularly
for sites with complex #include file configurations. This setting
causes gmBasic to rewrite #include files as code classes rather
than Web UserControls. Markup that was in an #include file (if any)
is converted to .NET code in an Author_Markup method in the
codeclass. The Author_Markup for each include file is called from
the location(s) of the original #include statement(s) of the given file.
The AspCodeClass=on setting also improves the migration of VBScript classes
as a nested class.
[+] Added <Registry Type="FixStatus" source="..." Target="UserControl"/>
that directs the translator to author a #include file as a Web.UserControl.
Markup is retained as markup in the ascx file and the control is
instantiated using a Register directive and a custom tag where
there used to be a #include statement.
[+] Modified the Migrate command to use IDL typedefs when resolving
symbols in a Refactor-Migrate command.
gmStudio
[!] Fixed translation verification to report zero-length bundle as an ABEND.
[+] Add support for VS2010/Framework V4.0 as a target platform.

[+] Added LoadControl Stub to MigrationSupport library
[+] Added a feature to facilitate reactivation of a gmStudio license file that
was invalidated due to tampering with the system clock.

8/22/2009
New Beta Available (0820-1229) 
This version is the implements a 10KLOC limit. It will be repackaged as a demo/evaluation
version.
The license information is now distributed as an external XML file that is digitally
signed. Altering this file reduces the functionality of the product to reporting-only mode

invalid.

08/14/2009
New Beta Available (0814-1213)

Comments
The main focus of this release was to improve the performance of IDF related processing. This was being done using a migrated VB6 component code that interoped TLBINF32.dll; that approach was unacceptably slow. The program was modified to interop the original VB6 component for now until the migrated code can be optimized. Another serious performance problem was addressed in the IDF caching algorithm.
The reporting logic in the batch scripts were also synced up with the new report file names.
