This is a minor release with some bug fixes, small enhancements, and filling in some minor missing functionality from previous versions of Panorama.
General fixes to the Favorites wizard, including allowing you to drag open databases to the wizard, and displaying properly when there are no favorites.
View Organizer wizard now has a dialog sheet that summarizes all code errors in the current database (or at least the first error in each procedure).
Added Print One Record to File menu.
Added printing related statements: print, printonerecord, printusingform and pagesetup.
Implemented about twenty “legacy” statements and functions. Most of these don’t provide any actual new functionality in Panorama X, but make it easier to convert existing Panorama 6 databases, especially if they contain really old code.
Added statements for changing the stacking (z-order) of form objects (bringtofront, sendtoback, etc.)
Vertical and horizontal lines now draw correctly.
clipboard()=
assignments now work.
Data sheet was not printing the last page of the sheet, now it does.
The rest of this page enumerates documentation changes in this release (mostly statements and functions).
Brand new features implemented in this release (features that were not included in Panorama 6):

Features implemented in this release that work differently than they did in Panorama 6.
- expressionstacksize -- The expressionstacksize statement does nothing.
- extendedexpressionstack -- The extendedexpressionstack statement does nothing.
- formulabuffer -- The formulabuffer statement does nothing.

- growlmessage -- The growlmessage statement displays a notification.
- info("expressionstacksize") -- The info("expressionstacksize") function returns the fake size of expression stack.
- info("formulabuffer") -- The info("formulabuffer") function returns the fake size of the formula buffer.
- info("formulamemory") -- The info("formulamemory") function function returns the fake size of the formula memory.
- loadurl -- The loadurl statement loads a resource from the internet.

- printusingform -- The printusingform statement allows the current database to be printed using a different form than the one currently being displayed.
- updateballoonlocations -- The updateballoonlocations statement does nothing.
Features implemented in this release that work exactly the same as they did in Panorama 6.

- setwindow -- The setwindow statement specifies the dimensions (size and location) of the next window that is opened (with openform, opensheet, openprocedure etc.).
