Version 1.3.114

This is a hotfix release for the error message "Ivercy - Unexpected Error - AccessibleChildren failed, parentName: All Access Objects firstChildIdx:5 accRetVal:1".

This is a hotfix release for the error message "Ivercy - Unexpected Error - AccessibleChildren failed, parentName: All Access Objects firstChildIdx:5 accRetVal:1". This error message started to appear for some users at the end of June 2023. It is caused by a sudden change in some internal Access structures. We cannot say what exactly caused this change and why a small number of users are affected by this issue while the vast majority is not.

This update can be applied to all 1.3.* versions.
If it is applied to 1.3.21 beta, it will downgrade the functionality of the Ivercy installation to version 1.3.14 + this hotfix.

Version 1.3.14

This is the first release of the Ivercy 1.3.-line being released for general production use. Compared to the 1.2-versions there is a major redesign of the internal architecture. If you are using the MSSCCI-Connectivity, you will not notice any difference in the behavior of Ivercy (except for changes listed below).

The new architecture has been tested with MSSCCI-Connectivity for more than a year and is stable and fully supported. The new and optional Non-MSSCCI-Connectivity with custom connectors is still incomplete and should be considered beta-state.

(This version was originally released as preview/beta on 2020-04-15. There were no significant problems reported with this version, therefore we changed its status to “general release”. If you downloaded the version 1.3.14 as beta, there is no need to download it again.)

The changes listed here are compiled on the baseline of version 1.2.6. If you have been using any 1.3.-release, you already have parts of these changes.

Important Changes:

  • Feature: Exclude Objects from Ivecy. Useful for temporary objects that are created or modified by code in your application.
  • Feature: Custom Commands - Define custom external commands to be executed from within Microsoft Access development environment. Read the Custom Command documentation!
  • Feature: New, optional and still beta connectivity to Subversion using SharpSVN.
  • Feature: New SourceProcessingSetting Line_Replace
  • Feature/Bugfix: With TFS it’s possible to get an old version of an object from the history ("Get This Version").
  • Feature: Combined artifical status filters for new and out-of-date files in the repository.
  • Feature/Bugfix: Old log files are deleted when closing Access. (Default for "old" is 30 days or older, but can be configured.)
  • Bugfix: Ivercy does not ask anymore if you want to delete files from the repository that are not controlled.
  • Bugfix: (ADP-Projects only) No more error message "The given key was not present ..." when accidentally selecting a SQL Server table or view and invoking an Ivercy command.

Version 1.4.20

This release is fixing two critical issues that were caused by changes to Microsoft Access in recent months. It also includes several other bug fixes and also one new feature.

Upgrade guide:

General Recommendation: Before upgrading to a new version, it is recommended to check-in all pending changes.

If you want to use the new TfsEx or Git connector and are upgrading from a previous version, which did not include the TfsEx or Git connector, you should run the setup once to upgrade the existing installation.

Important Changes:

----- General -----

  • Bug Fix: Fixed error message "Ivercy - Unexpected Error - AccessibleChildren failed, parentName: All Access Objects firstChildIdx:5 accRetVal:1".

    (This error was caused by Microsoft changing the internal structure of the Navigation Pane.)

  • Bug Fix: Fixed error message "'Continuous Form Navigation Keys' is an invalid name" followed by error "Property not found" when checking the Data&Misc-Objects in or retrieving their latest version.

    (This error was caused by Microsoft renaming one of Access’ option values.)

  • Bug Fix: Several minor bug fixes related to the integration into the Access UI.

 

----- TfsEx Connector -----

Version 1.4.12

Yet another beta release fixing a major issue in the new Ivercy Git connector and including several minor general fixes and enhancements.

Upgrade guide:

General Recommendation: Before upgrading to a new version, it is recommended to check-in all pending changes.

If you want to use the new TfsEx or Git connector and are upgrading from a previous version, which did not include the TfsEx or Git connector, you should run the setup once to upgrade the existing installation. Then run the setup again and choose “Add/Remove Features” to add the new connector to your installation.

If you used the new TfsEx or Git connector in version 1.4.8 and earlier, and stored credentials for a remote repository, Ivercy v1.4.12 cannot read these stored credentials due to changes of the encryption logic. You may see a "Data is invalid" error when you open the database, on any SCC operation, and/or when you open the Options Dialog.

(This does not apply to stored user/password credentials for Azure DevOps with TfsEx.)

To fix this issue:

  • Click on "Options" in the Ivercy Ribbon
  • Select the new "Credentials for YourProject" tab in the Options Dialog
  • Remove the existing credential data
  • Enter your valid credentials again
  • Click "Update Credentials"
  • Click "Save"
  • Close your database and Access
  • Open your database again
  • Everything should work as expected now.

Changes in versions 1.4.12:

----- General -----

  • Bug Fix: If an error is encountered during preprocessing a source file before import into Access that error will no longer abort the import process for other files.
  • Feature: Extended debug log output to help Ivercy support with problem diagnosis.

----- Ivercy Git Connector -----

  • Bug Fix: The new repository option in the Configure Project dialog now creates a normal Git repository instead of a bare.
  • Feature: The History now shows all affected files in a commit.
  • Feature: Many small improvements to the usability of the Configure Project dialog to prevent accidental misconfiguration and to clarify meaning of terms.

Known Issues:

----- General -----

  • The SCC Status of the Data&Misc-Objects may be incorrect and not reflect local changes (Modified).

----- Ivercy Git Connector -----

  • The SCC Status of the Data&Misc-Objects may be incorrect and not reflect local changes and remote changes (Modified and Out-Of-Date).
  • Cloning remote repositories has only been tested with GitHub. – We aren’t aware of any issues, and it should work with any hosting service, it is just not tested yet.
  • Ivercy will only show the history of deleted objects on or before the last import of that object before deletion. At least the delete operation itself will not be shown in the history. (This is caused by a limitation in LibGit2Sharp)
