Snapshot release 22-Aug-2024

There is a new v1.46.6 snapshot release with some bug fixes and improvements.

We have completely redesigned and rewritten the guts of Easy Data Transform over the last 2 months to fix issues around column propagation. This should mean no more unexpected column changes downstream. An extra bonus of the new design is that you can disconnect and reconnect a transform and it will (generally) remember the previous column settings.

We have run the new executables through a whole battery of regression tests and the new design returns exactly the same results as the old design, in every case. However we have made a lot of internal changes, so we are putting out this snapshot release for customers to test, before we release the new version as a production version. Please try it and let us know what you think.

You can find out more and download the release for Windows or Mac at:

On a very cursory usage , disconnecting midstream and connecting back , also results in IF conditions being remembered and reverted unlike previous behaviour of immediate reset, this in itself will be great help when trying to “cook” a solution :slight_smile:

I think the new design allows for much more ‘robust’ usage of Easy Data Transform. But we’ve made a lot of changes to do it and there may be a few bugs we haven’t found yet. Let us know if you spot any bugs.

I thought this would have a made a v2 beta candidacy and all it got was .46.6 :smiley:

expectation for v2 has been set very high now :stuck_out_tongue:

As it was fixing some column propagation bugs, we didn’t feel it was right to hold it back for v2,

Hi,

after reading this post, I checked my version and saw that the copyright field is a bit out of order. You might perhaps fix that sometime :smiley:

It looks ok on my Mac. I think it is making some assumptions that might be incorrect for a non-English locale. Should be easy enough to fix. Thanks for letting me know.

@Admin ,
Offset if disconnected immediately resets and “forgets” it’s column configuration

11

If I disconnect and then reconnect Offset, it keeps the columns being offset.

Note that this won’t work if I reconnect to a different input. Or save the .transform and re-open it between the disconnect and reconnect.

Are you sure you are using v1.46.6? If so, can you please upload a .transform that reproduces the issue.

Double oops , I forgot to update EDT on my iMac. Working now once I updated it here.

Joker running version is also not the latest, as it should be v.146.6 while it shows 1.46.5, or it could be issue just like the copy right date is not correct, so the version is also not correct?

It is a bug that exists in v1.46.5, v1.46.6 and probably loads of earlier versions. You will only see it if your operating system is set to a non-English locale (e.g. German).

We get the date that the software is built, convert it to a string and then extract the year part. But if your operating system is not set to an English locale, then the date may not be in the expected format and a 0 is returned.

We found a fix.

@joker
Is this copyright date issue now fixed for you in v1.47.0?

Unfortunately I had a crash in Aug23 and lost my +900 M rows from before :frowning:
Let’s see if I can do better in Sep24. Thank you EDT for helping me so much :heart:

Crashed operating system or crash in Easy Data Transform? Easy Data Transform stores rows processed in the Windows registry, so a crash shouldn’t affect the count.
