# Release notes for Inform v1.2 (build 3K56)
|
||
|
|
||
|
This release was made on 4 May 2006, before Inform was open-sourced.
|
||
|
At that time versions of Inform were identified by build codes in the form NLNN.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is part of the [historical archive of release notes](../version_history.md).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Language
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Changed the "tieing" action to "tying". (Inform's British author thought
|
||
|
this was an American spelling, and vice versa. Sorry.) This entailed
|
||
|
changes to examples Otranto, Brown, Snip, Snip Snip, and Under Contract.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Documentation, examples and extensions
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Bug in U-Stor-It example fixed, and Disappointment Bay 12 slightly improved.
|
||
|
- Tidied up documentation of Basic Screen Effects and Plurality extensions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Bug fixes
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Fixed the "South is a dead end with printed name "Collapsed Dead End"."
|
||
|
bug causing the Undertomb example in the main text to fail to compile.
|
||
|
- Fixed problem with the "Early Childhood 4" example.
|
||
|
- Fixed compiler hang to do with misunderstood sentences setting the kind
|
||
|
of a kind to itself.
|
||
|
- Fixed internal error on "now X is P", where X is a thing and P an
|
||
|
property which isn't an either/or property.
|
||
|
- Fixed problems with defining a kind which includes the word "object".
|
||
|
- Fixed internal error on sentences using "to have" incorrectly.
|
||
|
- Fixed internal error on assertions giving inexplicit information about
|
||
|
the kinds of things (asserting kind(f(x)) = y where f(x) is unknown).
|
||
|
- Fixed failure to object to malformed sentences caused by misunderstanding
|
||
|
of the punctuation convention about quoted text ending sentences.
|
||
|
- Fixed failure to object to names of things or rooms containing literal
|
||
|
double-quoted text (which then failed to compile through I6).
|
||
|
- Fixed failure to object to negative assertions in the form "The P is not
|
||
|
X.", where P is a property taking a value.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Mac OS X app
|
||
|
|
||
|
- (Mac OS X only) Support for OS 10.3.9 restored.
|
||
|
- (Mac OS X only) Build number now correct in Finder's Information window
|
||
|
for the application file.
