TMaskEdit: hexadecimal and binary characters
Mask support for hexadecimal and binary characters was added (this is a Lazarus extension, Delphi does not support this).
- Old behavior: the characters 'h', 'H', 'b' and 'B' had no special meaning in the EditMask property
- New behavior: these characters now are mask characters for hexadecimal and binary input respectively.
- Reason: nice to have feature (QT5 supports it natively).
- Remedy: if you need one of these characters as a literal in your EditMask: escape them with a '\'.
Components incompatibilities
TAChart: Chart.AllowZoom changed
The property AllowZoom of TChart is meant to give the user the chance to turn of the builtin zooming feature.
- Old behavior: AllowZoom operates also on an external toolset.
- New behavior: AllowZoom is effective only for the built-in toolset.
- Reason: More consistent handling of properties
- Remedy: Use the property Enabled of the external zoom tool to switch zooming off, or don't add a zoom tool at all.
