Helix Express 1.0.1 is the first maintenance release of Helix Express 1.0. It includes several improvements over the first version:
1. A problem in the code that slowed loading operations has been fixed.
2. A problem where large amounts of memory were required by the Helix Express client to download Collection structure (on visit) has been fixed. It should now be possible to visit Collections with large structures with less memory on the client.
3. There was a problem where Collection performance would degrade when running under the Helix Express Server.
4. Attempting to print while a window in the background was trying to re-draw caused rare crashes. This has been fixed.
5. In certain situations, when the server would initiate an auto-save, the clients would hang. This is now fixed.
6. When a query was constructed using the 3 hole inequality tiles, the query optimizer sometimes yielded incorrect results.
7. Indexes on target fields occassionally became corrupted if undefined values were posted into them.
8. Due to a problem in the client caching, stale data could persist on forms. This problem has been eliminated.
9. The server could crash when trying to abandon clients during quit.
10. Records on a subform could not be dumped from a client.
11. Dumping of documents from a sequence would sometimes place the documents at the root directory instead of with the control file.
12. A dynamic popup's query that used the Use From tile would not work properly on an entry form opened from a clickable list in the Helix Client.
13. Some minor modifications have been made to the Business Manager and Contact Manager Solutions.
