- 00123 - Member not refreshed when an attribute changes remotely
- When a member's attribute is changed remotely (e.g. CLLE) then it is not seen as a change when F5 is pressed on the member in MiWorkplace. This was fixed.

- If the library list could not be set then this would fail silently. Now a message box will show the reason for the failure.
- 00105 - Remote system is not created for pub400
- The remote system was not created for pub400 due to a regression that occurred after repressing the subsequent opening of the welcome page.
- 00121 - MiW is not using the correct compiler command.

New and Noteworthy in MiWorkplace V1.28.1[edit]

New and Noteworthy in MiWorkplace V1.28.0[edit]
| 00104 - Recover from local history | A classic that has been refactored. If you have lost your source in some way, or if you want to roll back to a previous version, you can use the "Local History" to restore a previous version. Local versions are saved every time you save the remote member. So save often!
|
|---|
| E041 - Using remote search, allow double click on program name to open the member. | Double-clicking on the member did not open the member. Also clicking on the line for the first time, did not go to the line.
|
|---|
| E042 - Compilation improvements | The compile commands can now be prompted. Also the default compile set can be restored from the preferences. Lastly, the CTRL+SPACE completion in the prompt dialog was improved.

Other issues/enhancements resolved[edit]
- 00105 - Remote system is not created for pub400
- The remote system was not created for pub400 due to a regression that occurred after not showing the welcome page anymore. This was fixed.
- E041 - Remote search, allow double click on program name to open the member
- Double-clicking on the filename in the remote search result would not open the member. This has been solved.
- E038 - Please add a compile button at the top of the screen
- This has been fixed
- 00097 - Select compile, the compile starts before the save is complete
- We found a regression where the compile did not wait for the save to complete. This has been fixed.
- 00093 - Outline does not work for lowercase h specs
- The outline view could get confused in some situations. This has been fixed.
- 00096 - When saving a member in a file with length 112, a truncation message is received.
- Trailing whitespace characters in a line could give a false truncate warning. This has been solved.
- 00095 - Outline in CLLE always expands after being collapsed
- The outline view would always expand in the CL editor. This has been fixed. If you collapse a tree node, it will not expand after something has been changed in the outline.
- 00027 - MiWorkplace CL syntax highlighting
- Some of the syntax highlighting in CL was not right. e.g. the DCL part of CRTBNDCL is treated as the DCL CL keyword. Similar issues with the PGM keyword within commands such as CRTSRVPGM and when part of a parameter value such as OBJTYPE(*PGM). This has been fixed.
- 00091 - MiW hangs when the host does not exist
- When the IP of the host does not exist, MiW hangs for a long time. Also, the context menu is then unusable because the connection is attempted again trying to evaluate the availability of an action. This was fixed by failing early and not trying a reconnect on a context menu action.
- 00090 - IFS filter does not allow > 10 directory names
- The directories filter did not allow directory filters larger than 10 positions
New and Noteworthy in MiWorkplace V1.27.0[edit]

|

Other issues/enhancements resolved[edit]
- 00084 - MiWorkplace - spool files
- The most recent spooled files would not show because of a mismatch between the users local date and the systems date
- 00085 - Can't reconnect after disconnect
- After disconnect, the system does not allow to log back in. This has been fixed.
- 00086 - Loop in logging when logging view open
- A log message was flooding the log. This has been fixed.
New and Noteworthy in MiWorkplace V1.26.0[edit]
| 00068 - Unclear compilation failure messages | After compilation, especially with a user program, it is sometimes not clear if the compile failed or not.
The actual compile failure is now visible in the notification. Also, all messages are clearly logged in the error log, and the job log of the remote connection can be viewed from the connection. Below is an example of a user compile program that compiles a unit test and then runs it (and fails). The reason for the failure is shown in the first notification.
However, MiWorkplace thinks that the compile part succeeded because there are no records in the event file.
|
|---|
| E035 - Allow to paste the library list | A list of comma or space separated libraries can now be added in the entry field of the library list editor.
|
|---|
Other issues/enhancements resolved[edit]
- 00069 - Problems with remote search in German language
- Remote search does not work because the remote translation properties were not synchronized. This has been fixed.

Just select a piece of text and press CTRL+K or CTRL+SHIFT+K to search the document quickly.
|
|---|
| E026 - Edit library list from connection | You can now directly edit the library list by right-clicking on the connection and choosing Library List...

|
|---|
| 00028 - IFS Search | The remote search is now available from the explorer context menu. Also, it enables IFS search by adding two flavors of grep as a search engine. The old-style QSH grep when the open-source tooling has not been installed or the new QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/grep. For more information about the new search capabilities, see the Remote Search and the Remote Search Result chapters.
|
|---|
| Q004 - MiWorkplace filtering | A flexible filtering system was added, enabling you to define categorized filters for the QSYS and IFS file systems. Filter categories can be toggled on and off together.

|
|---|
Other issues/enhancements resolved[edit]
- 00006 - Compile result points to source in QTEMP
- The compile results view would show an error when an SQLRPG precompile fails and the event file entry pointed to a source in QTEMP. QTEMP locations are now mapped back to the original source.
- E027 - Keep last selected text if nothing was selected before CTRL+F
- If nothing is selected, the search value was empty after pressing CTRL+F. Instead of making it empty, the previous search value is retained.

- If the find/replace panel is open and one switched to another source file, the find did not work on the new source file.
- E026 - Edit library list from connection
- The library list can now be changed on the fly.
- 00060 - MiWorkplace cannot handle unreliable connections
- The UI could behave badly when the connection was dropped. This was changed. MiW will now silently resume the connection (if possible).

- E010 - Remote search options
- Remote search now fills in the selected object. Additionally, the search can be started from the context menu.
