Helix Server 6.1.2
Helix Server - Relational database server for Helix RADE collections Helix Server provides Clients around the world simultaneous access to a Helix RADE collection (relational database). Helix RADE uses a proprietary graphical development environment that makes complex database programming possible for non-programmers, and Helix Server makes those databases available to small to mid-sized workgroups with similar ease of use. Main features of Helix Server:Open Recent Menu: The Open Recent menu, found in the File menu, provides a quick way to reopen recently served collections. The number of items displayed is controlled by the OS X System Preference for number of recent items to display. Tip: A tooltip appears showing the full path to a file if you hover over an item in the Open Recent menu.
New About Window: The About Helix Server window has been completely redesigned. Using Apple's WebKit, the about pages are created as standard HTML files. In fact, the Current Version page (see below) is a live web page, pulled from our web server. Also found in the About Helix Server window are the End User License Agreement and Notices & Credits. (There is also an Easter Egg, for those who like that sort of thing.)
Current Version Check: The Current Version panel in the About Helix Server window connects to our web server so the information is always up to date. (If you have no internet connection, a message to that effect is displayed.) Because the current version information is pulled live from our web server, we can also use this page to provide you with late-breaking news. Should any important bugs be reported, we will be sure to post a message here, letting you know. By default, the About Helix Server window opens once per week as an easy reminder to keep up to date. This window does not impact Helix Client performance.
Server Info Window Enhancements: New or enhanced pieces of information found in the Server Info window…
Font Info List: A list of all fonts referenced in the collection is available. The list shows the name of the font, font ID, whether it is available or not, and if not available, the substitute font being used. Note that each Client handles its own font substitution table, so a font that is not present on the Server will display correctly if it is installed on the Client. If the Server Info command is available to a user running the OS X Client, the Client's Font Info list reflects the availability of fonts on the workstation. The Reference Count column is of little use. It is included for technical support purposes. A 'referenced font' is any font that has ever been used in the collection, in both collection design and Styled Text fields, even if it is no longer used. (The font reference table does not remove obsolete entries.
Save Stats Precision is 0.1 seconds: In OS X, Helix typically saves so quickly that the Last Save Length and Average Save Length statistics are sometimes reported as '0 seconds.' In Helix 6.1, saves are reported with 0.1 second accuracy.
More Machine Statistics: One of the keys to maximum performance in OS X is to minimize the use of Virtual Memory. VM usage is best gauged by the PageIns & PageOuts statistics. These are now available in the Machine Info panel.
Additional Preferences: New preferences have been added to Helix Server. See the Server Preferences Help item for the updated list.
Auto Connect Mechanism: You can now set a Helix application to automatically open a specific collection every time it is launched via the HXAutoOpenURI preference.
Processor Requirements Reduced: Prior versions of Helix consumed 100% of the free processor time. Helix now uses only what is needed, resulting in more efficient computer operation.
Form Compiling Eliminated: Helix 6.1 no longer relies on compiled forms. As a result, Helix Server opens recently modified collections faster. Compiled forms were shown to be the source of some obscure and intermittent bugs.
Navigation Services: All Helix file service dialogs take full advantage of Mac OS X Navigation Services.
AutoSave Options: The 12 Hour (AM/PM) option has been removed from the Start Time setting. Specify the start time using 24 hour format.
Limitations of Helix Server:
60 minutes per launch
