# Compiler *** ## 5.2.1 06 May 2026 * Fixed: Expression compilation failed when a system reference was followed by a value reference * Fixed: Suppress warnings about assembly reference version mismatches during expression compilation *** ## 5.2.0 08 Apr 2026 * Updated to .NET 10 * Fixed: Using C# reserved keywords (e.g., "event", "delegate") as names for service event parameters caused compilation errors *** ## 5.1.0 22 Jan 2026 * Added support for nullable value types * System.Text.Json can now be used in expressions * Fixed: "$." was unexpectedly converted to ASCII codes (\_36\_46) in expressions *** ## 5.0.2 13 Oct 2025 * Fixed: Solution debugging did not work when the Utilities plugin was not included in the solution. Solution debugging would create a thread but never start the process to debug. *** ## 5.0.1 18 Jul 2025 * Fixed: Solution debugging gets stuck starting a thread when that solution doesn't include the Utilities plugin *** ## 5.0.0 16 Jul 2025 * Allow for dynamic Result Type on the CallXeroAPI operation * Fail sooner when a function property for a service function parameter is not found * Fixed: Type converters that do not specify the assembly were searched for in the executing assembly. They are now searched for in the assembly in which the type converter is declared. * Fixed: Operation is canceled validation appears when moving a large folder * Fixed: Expression fails validation when references use the null-conditional operator (?.) * Fixed: Test Failures are combined when using the "Are equal" assertion * Fixed: A TryCatch function within a Catch execution path fails to compile * Fixed: The compilation error "The type ... exists in both \[some assembly] and \[same assembly, different version]" by loading only the latest version of each assembly referenced by plugins. *** ## 4.0.1 26 Feb 2025 * Fixed: Seemingly random exceptions started to occur, that also disappeared again on their own, when repeatedly debugging the solution or running tests. The issue was the build-up that happened and worsened with every compilation of the solution. *** ## 3.0.3 16 Oct 2024 * Fixed: TryCatch function does not log to Debug Output * Fixed: Linx compilation failed due to an integer overflow when too large numbers were converted to smaller numeric types. `Substring()` and `IndexOf()` are two functions where this was a known issue. *** ## 3.0.2 14 Aug 2024 * Fixed: TryCatch function duplicates exception message. This also fixes the exception message duplication seen in Linx Server when a function fails. * Fixed: Can't use Integer variable as the start-index of an IndexOf() function call * Fixed: Comments at the start of an expression causes a validation * Fixed: Integer overflow when casting *** ## 3.0.1 22 Jul 2024 * Fixed: Conversion of TimeSpan to string *** ## 3.0.0 15 Jul 2024 * Support for .NET 8.0 * Support for the Solution Debugger * Support for starting and stopping of services via a process in a solution * Fixed: Assigning to property of type List caused a "Type not supported" exception * Fixed: Single Instance Process run in parallel caused synchronization exceptions * Fixed: Invalid cast exception when accessing a setting whose type is a nullable type *** ## 2.4.0 1 Dec 2023 * Support for the platform independent version of the Async plugin *** ## 2.3.1 15 Nov 2023 * Fixed: A NullReferenceException would happen in the Debugger in Designer when stopping a paused process that contained an async function. *** ## 2.3.0 3 Nov 2023 * Added coroutine support (async-await) * Fixed: When #.System.Random was used, an unexpected validation appeared *** ## 2.2.0 12 Sep 2023 * Changed the plugin from Windows-specific to be platform-independent * Support assigning a DateTimeOffset-typed value to a variable of type DateTime *** ## 2.1.2 24 Aug 2023 * Fixed: Prepending a name/value with @ in an expression caused an InvalidOperationException to be thrown * Fixed: Using "Equals", "GetType", "ToString", "GetHashCode" and others as property names on a type caused an exception at runtime * Fixed: A validation appeared when using a null-conditional operator (?.) before a method call. This is valid and should not cause a validation to appear *** ## 2.1.1 13 Jun 2023 * Fixed: '#.' was removed when clicking SAVE in the Expression Editor or ENTER in the property grid * Fixed: Typing @ instead of " caused an exception * Fixed: Reserved names, e.g., Equals, as property names in types no longer cause compilation errors *** ## 2.1.0 10 Feb 2023 * Create necessary framework for async operations * Fixed the issue where JSON failed to convert int to string * Add the List functions mentioned in the docs to the Expression Editor * Function now exits immediately after a return when debugging * When debugging, show Function parameters and Result in the Debug Values when function completes * Allow using C# classes, like Math, in expressions * When debugging a service, log to the debug output when another call/invocation is rejected *** ## 2.0.0 27 Sep 2022 * Add a Return function to the Linx plugin * Services now support Functions * Add more List functions to the 'Variables and functions' in the Expression Editor * Fixed: $.System bugs in expressions * Fixed: GenerateRandom Byte List result did not act like a List * Fixed: Service required a restart after deployment before working * Fixed: $.Result.HttpContext.StatusCode cannot convert Int64 to Int32 * Fixed the bug where could not be assigned to an implicitly-typed variable *** ## 1.1.7 23 Jun 2022 * Fix bug: Conversion issue on assignment when internal type of List was of type IList *** ## 1.1.6 6 May 2022 * Fix bug: Incorrect conversion to object-typed properties *** ## 1.1.5 28 Apr 2022 * Fix bug: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" validation in expression * Fix bug: Casting validation error in expression *** ## 1.1.4 14 Apr 2022 * Allow type conversions when deserializing JSON data *** ## 1.1.3 12 Apr 2022 * Fix bug: Encoded ToString method with encoding parameter type not working *** ## 1.1.2 22 Mar 2022 * Fix bug: Unhandled exception when expression contains invalid syntax, e.g., invalid property names *** ## 1.1.1 18 Mar 2022 * Fix bug: Setting internal exception message in compiler causes missing exception data at runtime *** ## 1.1.0 17 Mar 2022 * First release --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
