2011/09/21: HMG Extended Edition 2.0.1 Published.
* Changed: From this release, build number is at the end of version number.
This way '2.0.1' is used instead '2.0 build 1'.
* Enhanced: The PROGRESSBAR control supports an optional [ STYLE ] MARQUEE
clause
(continuous loop) with optional parameter VELOCITY nValue (default is
40):
- New: Added write only 'Velocity' property.
You can set this property at runtime:
- function syntax:
SetProperty ( Form, ProgressBar, 'Velocity', nValue )
- pseudo-OOP syntax:
Form.ProgressBar.Velocity := nValue
You can use Form.ProgressBar.Velocity := 0 for stopping of the loop.

Harbour/xharbour Diff :12/57 - MULTIVALUE MACROS by Przemyslaw Czerpak

In the early Harbour days was added basic support for multivalue macros
which can be evaluated to list of values, f.e.:
      ? &("1,2,3")
should show:
      1,  2,  3
The implementation of this extension was not accepted by many of Harbour
developers and it was one of the main reasons of the xHarbour fork.
In Harbour it was later fully removed and implemented from scratch using
different internal algorithms and structures. Now Harbour supports multivalue
macros in code like:
      proc main()
         local s1 := "'a', 'b', 'c'", s2 := "1,3", a
         ? &s1
         a := { { "|", &s1, 'x', &s2, 'y' }, 'x', &s2 }
         ? "a[1] items:"
         aeval( a[1], { |x,i| qout( i, x ) } )
         ? "a["+s2+"] =>", a[ &s2 ]
      return

xHarbour which inherited the original implementation after over 6 years
still cannot execute correctly above code.
