This page contains a complete revision history of Standards Master 2005, including internal releases (i.e., those not distributed to the public).

• Improved performance of Automatic update functionality.
• Added additional file format checks at startup of editor and addin to ensure correction of Naming Convention Rules in the event there is a corruption.

• Added AutoCorrect for Web Controls dropped on designers. Control IDs are named as Protected (WithEvents) variables.
• Added /MANIFEST switch to the Command Line utility, which allows a list of files to check to be specified for the utility. See help for more information.
• Removed trial nag for Command Line Utility functions.
• Minor changes to help.
• Changed scoping logic to ensure that variables declared in a VB module are scoped correctly as class members.
• Minor changes to Splash Screen logic.
• Minor performance improvements.
• Fixed bug in editor causing list of available order items not to clear in certain circumstances.

• Added parsing of implicit variable declarations in ASPX, MASTER, and ASCX documents. Standards Master 2005 creates Protected WithEvents Class members for all tags and imported tag namespaces if there is a code behind.
• Changed select files dialog to be sure ASPX pages do not show for parsing unless there is a code behind.
• Minor changes to the Fix logic for misnamed identifiers. The default scope of the Find/Replace dialog has been made more inclusive.
• Minor changes to help.
• Changed parsing logic to allow for delegate declarations outside of a class, namespace, module or structure.
• Fixed bug causing string literal and numeric literal errors to be reported incorrectly in certain circumstances.
• Fixed bug in Standards Editor causing convention order items to save incorrectly in certain circumstances.
• Changed enum member logic to derive its base type from the type of the parent.
• Enhanced naming convention checks by allowing Enum Members to have their own scope.
• Fixed bug causing error checking code for enum members in certain circumstances.

• Added ability to view standards as a report in HTML. This option is available from the Standards Master options dialog.
• Changes to SMDiag.exe.
• Fixed bug causing unsupported files to appear in the Select File list.
• Extended fix from previous release causing items with multiple attribute lists to parse incorrectly.
• Added code to ensure that System types are loaded for reference even when the assembly being checked does not have an explicit reference to System.dll.

• Fixed bug causing some code construction errors to be reported on commented out code.
• Fixed bug causing incorrect line numbers to be reported for errors in C# code in some cases.

• Changed Copyright information throughout application.
• Added support for generic types in Editor and Addin. Only base generics are supported: that is, the generic type itself may be treated as a type, not a strong type based on a generic. For example, Standards Master lets you define Usage Settings for System.Collections.Generic.List, but not for System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Int32).
• Added code to clear the Master File settings during conversion from SM 2004 file to prevent overwriting changes.
• Added ability to cancel a build in progress if the build fails or times out before completing. This applies only to builds initiated by Standards Master.
