Release Notes for Compiler Solution Dependency


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

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

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

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.

18 Jul 2025

  • Fixed: Solution debugging gets stuck starting a thread when that solution doesn’t include the Utilities plugin

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.

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.

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.

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

22 Jul 2024

  • Fixed: Conversion of TimeSpan to string

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

1 Dec 2023

  • Support for the platform independent version of the Async plugin

15 Nov 2023

  • Fixed: A NullReferenceException would happen in the Debugger in Designer when stopping a paused process that contained an async function.

3 Nov 2023

  • Added coroutine support (async-await)
  • Fixed: When #.System.Random was used, an unexpected validation appeared

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

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

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

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

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

23 Jun 2022

  • Fix bug: Conversion issue on assignment when internal type of List was of type IList

6 May 2022

  • Fix bug: Incorrect conversion to object-typed properties

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

14 Apr 2022

  • Allow type conversions when deserializing JSON data

12 Apr 2022

  • Fix bug: Encoded ToString method with encoding parameter type not working

22 Mar 2022

  • Fix bug: Unhandled exception when expression contains invalid syntax, e.g., invalid property names

18 Mar 2022

  • Fix bug: Setting internal exception message in compiler causes missing exception data at runtime

17 Mar 2022

  • First release
