New functionality and changes

Functionality After Before Result of changes
Configuration properties.
Version 8.3.7 is added to the list of available values of the Compatibility mode property. Compatibility modes were available for the following platform versions: 8.1, 8.2.13, 8.2.16, 8.3.1, 8.3.2, 8.3.3, 8.3.4, 8.3.5, and 8.3.6. In version 8.3.8 you can run configurations created in version 8.3.7 or earlier without making changes to the configuration and without changing its data structure. This allows you to perform quick transition to version 8.3.8 without making any configuration changes, then work with the configuration as usual and remove the compatibility mode at later time. This also allows you to use version 8.3.7 for working with the infobase even after the transition to version 8.3.7. You can use this option both before and after the compatibility mode is removed (in the latter case you have to turn the compatibility mode back on).

  • -ClearUnresolvedRefs. Clear references to objects that are not in the list of objects to be merged.
  • -Settings. Use the merge settings from the specified file.
  • -force. Automatically resolve merge issues. This affects the platform behavior in the following cases: locked objects are found; properties that were changed twice and do not have the merge mode specified are found; or a warning about deletion of objects refered by objects that do not participate in the merging is issued.

For /ConfigurationRepositoryUpdateCfg command-line option of batch Designer startup, the -objects parameter is implemented. This parameter specifies that the operation is performed for a specific set of configuration objects.

ZIP archive operations.

For the conf.cfg configuration file, the FileNamesEncodingInZipFile parameter is implemented. It specifies the file name encoding in 1C:Enterprise-generated ZIP archives. It can have one of the following values: UTF8 (UTF8 only) and OSEncodingWithUTF8 (both UTF8 and the operating system encoding). If the parameter value is UTF8, the ZipFileReader object from 1C:Enterprise version 8.3.6 or later, as well as built-in decompression programs from Windows XP/2003/2008/7, display file names with non-English characters inside the archives incorrectly. The built-in decompression program from OS X displays such file names correctly.

If the parameter value is OSEncodingWithUTF8, the built-in decompression program from OS X displays file names with non-English characters incorrectly but other decompression programs display them correctly.

File names in 1C:Enterprise-generated ZIP archives were always stored in both UTF8 encoding and operating system encoding. The option to specify encoding for the file names in 1C:Enterprise-generated ZIP archives is implemented.
