Bugfixes:
- Error 1073 could occur for when creating an override method and when syncing ConPanes if LabVIEW-option "treat read-only VIs as locked" was set, and a VI opened as read-only. Fixed [GS-144], [GS-56]
- When syncing Connector Panes, in some cases, the FP needs to be opened first or no controls were copied. Fixed
- Clone class did not set icon-colors to private/protected methods correct. Fixed. Only public methods are now painted. [GS-159]

Improvements:
- When syncing Connector Panes, all classes in the tree was checked for read-write-enabled, which was unecessary. And if anything was read-only or locked, the dialog exited. Only classes that has the method needs to be read-write. Other classes and methods are now ignored. Also, classes that has the method but are read-only are now marked (read-only) next to the name in the tree.
- Error 1357 and 1508 can occur during class creation e.g. if the files exist on disk or in memory. The error codes given are OK, but they have been replaced with a dialog explaining how to remedy the issue.

G# Framework 1.8.0
* Changed compile version to LV2017.

New features:
- Malleable VIs are now supported.

G# 1.6.8
* Changed compile version to LV2017.

materiaddq was a contributor to this release

G# Framework 1.7.1

* Changed compile version to LV2014.

NB! New features introduced in G# after this release will be released for LabVIEW 2017, since there are a number of changes in LabVIEW 2017 which makes it hard to maintain support for both older and newer versions of LabVIEW in one release. Any bugs found will also be released for 2014 or if there is a request for a specific feature to be released for LabVIEW 2014.

Bugfixes:
- Error 1073 occured If LabVIEW-option "treat read-only VIs as locked" was set, and a VI opened as read-only, at e.g. Rename, Clone, Create override method, and other operations that requires the IDE to analyse the connector pane terminal wiring rule (WiringRule:Get). Fixed. G#IDE-Methods that use "WiringRule:Get" will also check first if the files are being "locked" (looks like run mode but is not) as a result of "Treat read-only VIs as locked" being set. [GS-144], [GS-56]
- Error 1053 would occur if creating a method with the same name as a method in G#MethodTemplates.lvclass. Fixed [GS-149]
- Error 1326 occured on virtual folders that did not have an associated G#IDE-operation. Fixed. [GS-136]
- Error 1373 when cloning a class or a method of a class occurs if a class in the project cannot be loaded. Now, this error is ignored and only the loadable classes are listed. [GS-110]
- Could not create polymorphic method from static class. Fixed [GS-152]
- The LabVIEW error list could list the template method for polymorphic methods. Fixed. A dummy VI is added by default to the polymophic VI template so it is not broken. [GS-134]
- Moving a method to another class did not check the read-only state first. Fixed.
- Syncing method implementations would remove all inputs if source VI was "locked" by read-only and "treat read-only VIs as locked" was set. Now, all implementing methods are checked for locked and read-only state before syncing.
- Class Icon Editor: Member layer icon was not visible [GS-153]
- Cloning/Overriding method does not use copy the source VI icon background (VI Icon layer). Overriding also created VI names with double line breaks. The double line breaks are fixed but there are too many ifs and buts to properly handle the copying of VI background. [GS-154]
- Cloning/Creating a method without opening it still opened it. This is because an old scripting property was used which now seem to ignore the input to "Open". Changed to the newer FrontPanel:Open invoke node.
- Cloning a method did not copy the icon layers that were not used as G#header- or G#body layer. Fixed
- Error 1 in Implement Interface Dialog if tickbox "Skip Wrapper class" was changed when a class was selected that had no methods to implement. Fixed.
- When generating class from G#UML-plugin and when creating an interface wrapper class, the class and method icon colors were incorrect. Fixed
- Create Class: Colors were not randomized correctly. Fixed. Colors were not applied to class members correctly. Fixed.

Improvements:
- Localized name is now changed when renaming or cloning class. [GS-147]
- When a G#IDE-operation displays a dialog telling the user that a file is locked or read-only, only the item name was used. Now, the full name of the item is used, since the same item could exist in more than one class and some G#IDE operations include more than one item.
- Improved documentation on "Synchronize method implementation"
- Adjusted some method templates' block diagrams.
- Adjusted TypeDef template's size (used the absurdely large default size)
- Synchronize method implementations: if only the selected implementation exists, the operation exits and tells the user that only one implementation exists.
- Class Icon Editor: Layers selector now hidden from start. The layers selector also cannot scroll past the last layer.
- Help file had some outdated information on Create Method and some others. Update.
- Compact classic font improved visibility for letters ACKJMWbdgj.
- Rename: "Rename All" now disables editing the list of affected methods. [GS-145]
- Syncing method implementations checked if selected class was locked, which was unecessary. The check is removed.
- Syncing method implementations did not detect if properties of the control such as e.g. numeric representation differed. Now, if the type of the control does not match, the control will instead be replaced (duplicated from source method control).

G# 1.6.7
New features:
- G# Debugger: The aggregates and aggregators list now includes the class name. The list text is now right-justified so that a long name will show the (end of the) object name at least. The tip strip shows the complete class:object string. [sGS-142]

Improvements:
- Cleaned up front panels of all G# VIs.

Bugfixes:
- G# Debugger: Attributes did not show in runtime. Fixed. Previously, a VI was scripted with the attributes control added to it, but since scripting is not supported in runtime, this would then not work. Now instead, the GetAttributes and GetClassAttributes VIs are pulled in to the sub-panel and the sub-panel is fit to the attributes control of that VI. For a class to be able show its object in run-time, the front panel of GetAttributes and GetClassAttributes VIs must be set to not be removed in the build specification (or enable debugging). [GS-148]
- G#Object_GetClassType could not be used with classes inside an exe-file. Fixed. [GS-138]
- G#Interface:ClassToSpecificInterface.vi returned an incorrect error if there was an error in. Fixed.

G# Framework 1.7.0

* Changed compile version to LV2012.

New Features:
- Layers are now supported in icons [GS-104].
- The NI icon editor can be accessed from the G# icon editor and used as layer/icon editor.
- The class icon can have layers that can be specified to only be visible on the class icon or on class member (VIs/ctls) icons.
- If a class icon contains one or more layers, the class icon editor will display a list of the available layers. From here, you can select which layer(s) shall be set to all class members. Marked layers will be renamed 'G#Member'. Any layer including the text 'G#Member' will be set to all the members of the class, but not to the class icon.
- The method/VI icon text and header text are now on their own layers. The background and frame is what remains in the 'VI Icon' layer.
- The previous release of G# framework introduced options in the icon editor to preserve background. Now, with the introduction of layers, there is no longer a need for that ability, and instead users can have graphic components they want to preserve in a layer of the icon. Therefore, these controls are removed.
- Cloning/renaming/changing scope: Layers are preserved.
- Cloning/moving to another class: The layers that are not labelled 'G#Member' will be copied to the new icon.
- When an icon that was created using a previous G#-version is edited, its components will be split into the new layers.
- The G#Debugger now also displays an object's aggregates in a separate list. The aggregates were previously only highlighted. [GS-127]
- The G#Debugger now also displays an object's aggregatorses in a list. Aggregates and aggregators can be double-clicked which will select the clicked object in the object tree. This makes it possible to easily traverse aggregation relations. [GS-130]
- It is now possible to batch process right-click operations by selecting multiple files. You can clone or move methods to another class, change scope or abstract and delete multiple files at a time. [GS-67]
- Added support for polymorphic VIs (Overloaded method). In the Create Method-dialog, select Method type: Overload. [GS-19]
- It is now possible to move one or more methods from a class to another. The function is available from the right click menu. [GS-70]
- There is a new option to suppress icon editor dialog when creating/moving/renaming methods/classes. It will speed up the workflow for many users that are happy with the default generated icon. [GS-93]
- The Change Scope dialog now has an option to change scope on all implementations of the method in the class hierarchy. [GS-113]
- The Rename Method dialog now has an option to rename all implementations of the method in the class hierarchy. [GS-114]
- Font Compression default can now be set from the G# options dialog. [GS-131]
- A new function is added for methods on the right-click menu: "Synchronize implementations". This function will let you update and synchronize connector pane and controls for all implementations of a method [GS-88].

Improvements:
- Radio buttons on dialogs now all have their Boolean text displayed so that they are more easy to click on.
- Tab order revised on all dialogs. [GS-26]
- The options in the option dialog have better descriptions. Especially "Require descendant classes to override dynamic dispatch VI".
- It was possible to rename a method to that of an attribute-accessor. File name check is now improved so no file name or method/control-name should be possible to be invalid regardless of G#IDE-operation (rename/clone/move/...). It was not consistent through all functions. The name check had individual implementations in several places. Made a sub-VI of it and included check for additional invalid characters. [GS-95]
- When cloning a method, the destination class was set to the source-class for starting value. It is now changed so that any other class than the source class will be the starting destination class.
- When cloning a method to another class, if there is only one class in the project, the dialog opened anyway. Now, a message will display and the Clone-method dialog will close.
- More clear on class icon editor which of the preview icons are the class/library icon and the member icons. Improved descriptions on the class icon dialog editor controls.
- If the template class was read-only when creating a class, a message would display "class is locked". Now, that message is improved so the user will know what class is locked, since sometimes it is the source class/files that has to be unlocked for some scripting operations to work.[GS-99], [GS-100]
- The Escape key is assigned to toggle Cancel on all dialogs. F1 is assigned to Help on all dialogs.
- Old icon is not displayed in the icon editor if VI was cloned from another class.
- Installer: Improved error information. If something goes wrong during installation, a description of the step and file is added to the error source.
- The links on the Version Information dialog now has a hover effect like a hyperlink. Click is changed to mouse up instead of mouse down.
- When changing options, it is no longer required to restart LabVIEW for the options to take effect.
- Replaced the old AddQ logo with the new on all dialogs and in the help file.
- Help file: Systems requirement updated. Some screenshots updated. Improved and corrected some descriptions.
- If G#Debugger cannot be started if it has been broken (e.g. by broken Destroy-method), the user will get a message instead of an error and a broken G#Debugger.
- The G#Template:Destroy-method no longer has the GetAttributes and attribute-unbundle node. The unbundle node was always broken which often causes confusion for developers.
- VIPM installer added the Garbage Collector VI. Also added the G#Object.ctl to the controls-palette. The "Modify attributes" merge VI cannot be added, VIPM accepts it as a "place VI contents" VI, but after install doesn't find it. Use the downloadable zip file installer to get that or add that VI manually to the palette after installation.

Bugfixes:
- Creating a class when G#-debugger was opened caused an error. Fixed. If a class is locked, the user is now instead informed of the reason and the class name that is locked. [GS-96]
- In the Create Method dialog, when editing the method name, it is checked that the method name is not duplicate. However, only the public/protected/private folders were checked. So it was possible to create a method with the same name as a property.[GS-95]
- In the Create Method dialog, when changing method types, the method template selector value was not changed and therefore not checked/updated. This in turn could lead to the Dynamic Dispatch to be incorrect. The method template is now always set to the first method when changing method type.
- Error if overriding a VI with password. Fixed. Overridden method is checked for password before copying. [GS-101]
- If editing and applying an icon to an unsaved VI, error 43 occured. Now, the user will instead get a message that the VI needs to be saved first. [GS-117]
- G# Debugger: Aggregate highlighting speed was improved in last release but a bug was introduced, so that rows were not all unselected. Fixed. [GS-107], [GS-30]
- When creating a property, the suggested name was always from the first attribute, instead of the first attribute with no property accessor. Fixed.
- When opening an icon editor, the font Compression settings was not checked for, so that font settings like Center and Size could be disabled/enabled properly. Fixed.
- When Creating a method and selecting "override", the "Read"-template was created no matter what template was selected. Fixed. [GS-129]
- G#Debugger: If an aggregate refnum was invalid, highlighting of aggregates could get incorrect. Fixed.
- Create Method: Switch method types when a method template without dynamic dispatch is selected. The method template list is updated and the dynamic dispatch setting of the now selected method template should now reflect on the DynDispatch control, but it was still invisible. fixed [GS-94]
- When editing options in the options dialog. If you closed and opened the dialog, the changes were not visible, although the changes were set and would take effect when LabVIEW restarted. Fixed.

G# 1.6.6

Bugfixes:
- External Create can return error in odd cases. (Error event received instead of 'instance created'). Fixed. [GS-111]

G# 1.6.6

Bugfixes:
- External Create can return error in odd cases. (Error event received instead of 'instance created'). Fixed. [GS-111]

materiaddq was a contributor to this release

G# Framework 1.6.1
* New Feature - It is now possible to clone a method to another class when working in main application instance. [GS-25]
* New Feature - It is now possible to create multiple override-methods at once in the 'Create Method'-dialog', by selecting one or more methods to override. [GS-21]
* New Feature - The icon editors now has a font selector and settings, so other than the classic fonts can be used. [GS-29]
* New Feature - Added an option in the method icon editor to preserve foreground, which is useful e.g. if you want to keep an icon you have made for the method, but need to rename the method. The old icon will now always be shown (was not shown before for rename/clone). It is also possible to change the BG/FG colors even on the old icon, even when renaming, so that the old FG can be used. Also added a "Preserve Header" for the same reason. [GS-52]
* Improvement - G# Debugger - Improved performance (using defer panel updates). [GS-9]
* Improvement - G# Debugger - Aggregate highlighting remade with greatly improved performance. [GS-30]
* Improvement - G# Debugger - When the UI is busy, the cursor is now set to be busy to disable interaction on the debugger GUI while processing and as feedback to the user. [GS-32]
* Improvement - All templates FP and BD sizes reduced. There is still some room in the templates for "here goes the code". All FPs are moved to screen coordinate 0,0 and BD are near that position. Some templates' FP were a bit messy, so they are tidied up. [GS-23]
* Improvement - Interface VIs were not allowed to have a dot as part of its name. Instead of removing the dot and everything after, names which end with '.vi' will now remove the '.vi'-part. [GS-11]
* Improvement - Environment setting "Separate compiled code for new VIs" is now supported. LabVIEWs environment setting will be used for new VIs. [GS-84]
* Improvement - When a class is created, its name is set as the localized name of the class, so that property nodes will not show the ".lvclass" after the class name. [GS-89]
* Improvement - When overriding a method, the positions of the controls and indicators connected to the connector pane was previously spread evenly between the reference control and error control. Now, they will instead be placed at the same position as in the overridden method. The front panel will be resized to match the overridden method. The block diagram will also resize to fit the terminals copied from the overridden method. [GS-20]
* Bugfix - Creating a property with name ClassName, ObjectID or ObjectStatus created a method VI that conflicted with base class method. Fixed. [GS-7]
* Bugfix - Creating a property with different name than any attribute, didn't select the correct attribute, but always the first. Fixed. [GS-74]
* Bugfix - Cleared error that caused G#Debugger to crash. Parsing of complex attributes in LV2013 bug. [GS-75]
* Bugfix - Error 1073 when cloning locked method. Fixed. Tries to unlock the VI if error 1073 and locked when cloning. It is ConPane:GetWiringRule that causes the error. [GS-63]
* Bugfix - Dynamic Dispatch setting was not used correctly when cloning method. Fixed. [GS-50]
* Bugfix - Util vi NotARefnum is not ignored when listing methods of class (used for a number of G#IDE features). NotARefNum.vi added to list of ignored methods. [GS-69]

G# 1.6.5
* Improvement - G#Interface_ClassToSpecificInterface. Added feature to search for the first available interface if not set directly. Locates the required wrapper and convert it to that during runtime. This solves the need to specify the wrapper during programming and can therefore convert "any" class to specific implementation without knowing which class it is in advance. [GS-76]
* Improvement - Changed G#Object_GetObjectStatus to use G#Object_NotARefNum instead of NotAQueue. LabVIEW reuses queues and this will prevent a reused queue to be mistaken for a valid queue. [GS-77]
* Improvement - Improved performance in GetClassName.vi by caching last result and use the same answer if needed. [GS-78]
* Improvement - Performance improvement in NewObject. No need to check if external process is running when "no registration" is checked. [GS-79]
* Improvement - G# ModifyAttributeDiagramTemplate: Added merge error input with an unconnected terminal on top so users will merge the errors correctly. Also shrunk the BD. [GS-45]
* Improvement - Improved error information for error 1556. An improved description as well as class name and path added when debugging is not enabled. [GS-27]
* Improvement - Interface VIs could not be run reentrantly. Fixed. [GS-10]
* Improvement - Constructor templates were not reentrant, which in complex systems can cause non-executable code. Fixed. [GS-60]
* Bugfix - G#Object_GenericCreate and G#Object_GetClassType reported an incorrect path if the G#Create-method was not found. Now, the original path will be preserved in any output error. [GS-35], [GS-34]
* Bugfix - Wrong error-code if Packed Library (PPL) was opened with wrong LV-version. Fixed. [GS-33]
* Bugfix - G#Object_GenericCreate.vi, incorrect behaviour if opening a running constructor, caused the VI to hang in a non-ending while loop. Fixed. [GS-80]
* Bugfix - Code in method G#Object_IsExternalCreateProcessRunning should run even if error in, like all close, destroy, dispose methods. Fixed. [GS-49]
* Bugfix - If utility method GetAllObjects or GetAllObjectsFromSameOwner and there exists no object from a class, a class queue is created that is not properly closed afterwards, causing next valid element not to register correctly and then not showing up in the G#Debugger. Fixed. [GS-83]
* Bugfix - If a reference was invalid into GetAttributes, the error from G#Object_NewDebugObject was overwritten due to incorrect error merge order (errors in G#Template_GetClassAttributes were also incorrectly merged). Fixed. [GS-86]

Credits to Ulf Drakmark who came up by the idea of improving the G#Interface_ClassToSpecificInterface!

The block diagram will also resize to fit the terminals copied from the overridden method. [GS-20]
* Bugfix - Creating a property with name ClassName, ObjectID or ObjectStatus created a method VI that conflicted with base class method. Fixed. [GS-7]
* Bugfix - Creating a property with different name than any attribute, didn't select the correct attribute, but always the first. Fixed. [GS-74]
* Bugfix - Cleared error that caused G#Debugger to crash. Parsing of complex attributes in LV2013 bug. [GS-75]
* Bugfix - Error 1073 when cloning locked method. Fixed. Tries to unlock the VI if error 1073 and locked when cloning. It is ConPane:GetWiringRule that causes the error. [GS-63]
* Bugfix - Dynamic Dispatch setting was not used correctly when cloning method. Fixed. [GS-50]
* Bugfix - Util vi NotARefnum is not ignored when listing methods of class (used for a number of G#IDE features). NotARefNum.vi added to list of ignored methods. [GS-69]

G# 1.6.5
* Improvement - G#Interface_ClassToSpecificInterface. Added feature to search for the first available interface if not set directly. Locates the required wrapper and convert it to that during runtime. This solves the need to specify the wrapper during programming and can therefore convert "any" class to specific implementation without knowing which class it is in advance. [GS-76]
* Improvement - Changed G#Object_GetObjectStatus to use G#Object_NotARefNum instead of NotAQueue. LabVIEW reuses queues and this will prevent a reused queue to be mistaken for a valid queue. [GS-77]
* Improvement - Improved performance in GetClassName.vi by caching last result and use the same answer if needed. [GS-78]
* Improvement - Performance improvement in NewObject. No need to check if external process is running when "no registration" is checked. [GS-79]
* Improvement - G# ModifyAttributeDiagramTemplate: Added merge error input with an unconnected terminal on top so users will merge the errors correctly. Also shrunk the BD. [GS-45]
* Improvement - Improved error information for error 1556. An improved description as well as class name and path added when debugging is not enabled. [GS-27]
* Improvement - Interface VIs could not be run reentrantly. Fixed. [GS-10]
* Improvement - Constructor templates were not reentrant, which in complex systems can cause non-executable code. Fixed. [GS-60]
* Bugfix - G#Object_GenericCreate and G#Object_GetClassType reported an incorrect path if the G#Create-method was not found. Now, the original path will be preserved in any output error. [GS-35], [GS-34]
* Bugfix - Wrong error-code if Packed Library (PPL) was opened with wrong LV-version. Fixed. [GS-33]
* Bugfix - G#Object_GenericCreate.vi, incorrect behaviour if opening a running constructor, caused the VI to hang in a non-ending while loop. Fixed. [GS-80]
* Bugfix - Code in method G#Object_IsExternalCreateProcessRunning should run even if error in, like all close, destroy, dispose methods. Fixed. [GS-49]
* Bugfix - If utility method GetAllObjects or GetAllObjectsFromSameOwner and there exists no object from a class, a class queue is created that is not properly closed afterwards, causing next valid element not to register correctly and then not showing up in the G#Debugger. Fixed. [GS-83]
* Bugfix - If a reference was invalid into GetAttributes, the error from G#Object_NewDebugObject was overwritten due to incorrect error merge order (errors in G#Template_GetClassAttributes were also incorrectly merged). Fixed. [GS-86]

G# Framework 1.6.1
* New Feature - It is now possible to clone a method to another class when working in main application instance. [GS-25]
* New Feature - It is now possible to create multiple override-methods at once in the 'Create Method'-dialog', by selecting one or more methods to override. [GS-21]
* New Feature - The icon editors now has a font selector and settings, so other than the classic fonts can be used. [GS-29]
* New Feature - Added an option in the method icon editor to preserve foreground, which is useful e.g. if you want to keep an icon you have made for the method, but need to rename the method. The old icon will now always be shown (was not shown before for rename/clone). It is also possible to change the BG/FG colors even on the old icon, even when renaming, so that the old FG can be used. Also added a "Preserve Header" for the same reason. [GS-52]
* Improvement - G# Debugger - Improved performance (using defer panel updates). [GS-9]
* Improvement - G# Debugger - Aggregate highlighting remade with greatly improved performance. [GS-30]
* Improvement - G# Debugger - When the UI is busy, the cursor is now set to be busy to disable interaction on the debugger GUI while processing and as feedback to the user. [GS-32]
* Improvement - All templates FP and BD sizes reduced. There is still some room in the templates for "here goes the code". All FPs are moved to screen coordinate 0,0 and BD are near that position. Some templates' FP were a bit messy, so they are tidied up. [GS-23]
* Improvement - Interface VIs were not allowed to have a dot as part of its name. Instead of removing the dot and everything after, names which end with '.vi' will now remove the '.vi'-part. [GS-11]
* Improvement - Environment setting "Separate compiled code for new VIs" is now supported. LabVIEWs environment setting will be used for new VIs. [GS-84]
* Improvement - When a class is created, its name is set as the localized name of the class, so that property nodes will not show the ".lvclass" after the class name. [GS-89]
* Improvement - When overriding a method, the positions of the controls and indicators connected to the connector pane was previously spread evenly between the reference control and error control. Now, they will instead be placed at the same position as in the overridden method. The front panel will be resized to match the overridden method. The block diagram will also resize to fit the terminals copied from the overridden method. [GS-20]

-----------------
G# Framework 1.5.0
* Verified for LabVIEW 2013.
* G#IDE New Feature - Added new dialog Change Scope (this could previously also be performed by Rename.
* G#IDE New Feature - Added an indicator called "Parent Class" to Change Inheritance Dialog.

* G#IDE Bugfix - Cloning classes with runtime menues didn't work.
* G#IDE Bugfix - Renaming a VI closed frontpanel.
* G#IDE Bugfix - Changing scope on a dynamic dispatch VI to private scope, didn't remove dynamic dispatch.
* G#IDE Bugfix - Clone To New Class wasn't disabled if the class was opened directly without a project.
* G#IDE Bugfix - Clone To New Class didn't work for LabVIEW native classes.
* G#IDE Bugfix - It was possible to create a type def with the same name as the class, but this is not possible due to conflict with private class data name.
* G#IDE Changed - Error log file is now placed in the default LabVIEW data folder insteada of the default temporary folder.

G# 1.5.4
* Bugfix - GetObjectStatus returned users even if counter wasn't used.
* Improved error message for missing virtual methods.
* Improved error message for GenericCreate and GenericDefaultContructor.
* Bugfix - G#Object_Serialize.vi - if "include aggregates" isn't checked, the "GetAggregatedObjects.vi" was executed anyway incorrectly.
