Release Notes for Older Builds

ZIM is now 64-bit. 32-bit databases are not supported.
Fixed occasional failures when running SYSTEM commands on Linux.
The error messages were misleading because the SYSTEM actually worked successfully.
Introduced the new field WdgType in FormFields in replacement to the old field FT which is no longer able to support modern widget types.
When running Zim 9.50 ZOMEnable on a previous database version, the field FT is automatically converted to WdgType.
Introduced the new field WdgCSS in FormFields to carry additional information for existing and new widgets.
When running Zim 9.50 ZOMEnable on a previous database version, the field Default for buttons is automatically converted to WdgCSS (other widgets don’t need conversion).
The FormFields fields Row, Col, Wdth, Hght, Fill, WdgDragMode, WsgDropTarget, HMargin, and VMargin are no longer displayed in LIST statements although they are there but hidden.
They are no longer used from Zim 9.50 on and is highly recommended not to be used as they might be removed in the near future.
