----------------------------------------

The CHANGES.txt file lists this issue under the section titled "NEW FEATURES". So, this should figure prominently in the release notes.

files are not visible until they are closed

the current behaviour, whereby a file is not visible until it is closed has several flaws,including:
1. no practical way to know if a file/job is progressing
2. no way to implement files that never close, such as log files
3. failure to close a file results in loss of the file
The part of the file that's written should be visible.
