Re: [ANN] Release 8.1.6 RC-1

Configurable sounds like a great idea to me too. I’d like to see a more defined break from the regular handlers if that’s possible. Also there is a Typo - PasteKey in the Field script is missing the “P” - it just states asteKey, I wondered what that was! :) Paul > On Jul 11, 2017, at 8:01

8.16rc1 release notes - wow!

I was really blown away by the changes and bug fixes listed in the 8.16rc1 release notes. Then I looked a bit closer and thought many seemed familiar. It seems the script to compile the release notes has either gotten greedy or something else has changed as it has grabbed quite a few additions

Just to make my points a bit clearer, here is a list of what enhancements to the handler list I think will be helpful: 1. Put the list in a menu/scrolling list field above the current list showing actual handlers in the script 2. Label this menu/list clearly as “Common handlers” to make sure
