Breaking Changes​

Attention! These things are very important:

  • SBS-2067: The syntax for calculation placeholders has been changed from {$=} to {Calc()}. When updating to this version, all used calculation placeholders will be updated automatically.
    Examples:
    • {$=2+6} => {Calc(2+6)}
    • {$={CurrentValue}+1} => {Calc({CurrentValue}+1)}
    • {$={Value2}+{Value6}} {$={Value2}+{Value6}} => {Calc({Value2}+{Value6})} {Calc({Value2}+{Value6})}
