In previous
versions of USoft Developer, the synchronization routine had to be
started or restarted manually by the developer. Because
synchronization in USoft Developer from version 5.0 onwards is
automatic, the Synchronize option no longer exists.
Upgrading to 5.1 and 5.2 is
fully transparent in this area. In spite of synchronization being
automated, your painted application should be identical to the way
you left it in the previous version.
Automatic synchronization is
much faster because it no longer inserts records in your ESI
repository. It does, however, require a slightly different way of
working.
It is no longer possible to
rename or delete classes created for you by the automatic
synchronize routine.

5.2, as you can no longer delete automatically synchronized window
classes. However,
