| 3436143 | (M2)Remove Main-Class from MANIFEST because there is no main class entry point for this jar file |
| 3435567 | (M2)Add HRESULT to error message when unknown COM error raised in Dispatch |
| (M2)Added debug info to advise failure messages. | |
| (M2)Added support for null dispatch object in putVariantDispatch. | |
| (M2)Fixed memory leak in Variant.cpp zeroVariant method possibly related to previous fix proposed in SF 1689061 but never implemented. I guess we should fix it since people keep pointing it out | |
| (M2)Variant.getString() now returns null for NULL or EMPTY Variants instead of throwing exception. | |
| 3412922 | (M1)Fix for: When a DispatchEvent is created with a COM object, the COM object is never released totally, and the destructor function is never called. |
| Patches | |
| 3377279 | (M1)Fix possible exception. Added initializing Variant used to retrieve the next value from IEnum because some implementations call VariantClear on it before setting a new value |
| (M1)Isolate compilation of SafeArrayTest.java because it is UTF-16 and not UTF-8 | |
| (M1)Changed windows version _WIN32_WINNT to 0x0500 to fix build with VS2010. (now 2000 or later) | |
| (M1)Fixed the leak in Java_com_jacob_com_Variant_putVariantNoParam | |
| (M1)Added Dispatch.Method to the invoke flags to call _NewEnum. There are some non-conforming legacy implementations that expose _NewEnum as a method. | |

| Bugs | |
| 3065265 | (M4)Bit masking in Variant.getXXXRef() uses wrong mask allowing more than one type to be seen as the requested type. Code that passed in the correct type always worked but invalid types were not always detected. |
| 2935662 | (M4)Error handling code crashes because of uninitialized data in Dispatch.cpp Check for NULL fails. pfnDeferredFillIn pointer is not initialized, but it's not NULL. |
| 2819445 | (M3)SafeArray.fromLongArray fails when using VariantLongInt |
| 2847577 | (M3) SafeArray#setString(*) incorrectly handles unicode strings |
| 2721937 | (M2)System.getProperties call caused security exception in applet. com.jacob.includeAllClassesInROT now acts as master switch for class/ROT control. This change also has the side benefit that the PutInROT property is not checked on every object creation for users who run in the standard all classes in ROT mode. |

| 1845039 | (M7) Jacob DLL name can now be customized to support bundling of Jacob in other products. |
| 1845039 | (M6) Jacob DLL names are now qualified by platform and release. The JacobLibraryLoader now determines the correct 32bit or 64bit dll based on the system architecture. Jacob.jar now also knows the version of the dll it is looking for (by name) and loads the correct one. JWS clients will have to modify their dll loaders. See: The JWS classloader sample |
| 1828371 | (M4) Added VT_I8 support to SafeArray. |
| 1813458 | (M3) Expand type support. Changed currency support to use new Currency class. Added VT_I8 64 bit support. VT_I8 support requires Windows XP or later. VT_I8 not supported by windows in Windows 2000 and earlier. Added more primitive constructors to Variant. |
| 1816863 | (M1) Migrate Jacob to JDK 5 |
| Known Issues | |
| This is now built with Java 5 compiler and Java 5 syntax. This release is not compatible with JDK 1.4.x and earlier. | |
| This release requires the Visual C++ 2005 libraries. See 1.13 Known Issues for more information. | |
| Bugs | |
| 1793362 | (M5) ERROR_MORE_DATA causes failures. Fix submitted for defect found while porting Jameleon to use current release of Jacob. |
| 1775889 | (M4) Fixed leak SafeArray setString(int[],value) and other setString() methods |
| Patches | |
| 1794811 | (M5) Support Unicode strings in COM failure messages |
| 1793346 | (M5) Replaced use of deprecated API and removed unused variables. |
| 1701995 | (M2) Added option to exclude classes from ROT to try and manage memory in heavy event callback programs. Feature is 100% backwards compatible by default. |
| 1709841 | (M1) Compiled with Visual Studio 2005. Jacob now requires 2005 or later libraries. See the UsingJacob.html file for impact this has on NT, 2000 and Server 2003 users. |
| Feature Requests | |
| 1772783 | (M4) Added VT_DECIMAL support for BigDecimals whose scale less than 28 |
| 1761727 | (M3) unittest directory test programs converted to JUnit 3.8.1. New ANT target created to run all unit tests. |
| Known Issues | |
| Jacob 1.13 is built using VC++ 2005. That creates a dependency on the Visual C++ 2005 libraries and msvcr80.dll. This library is normally installed on XP systems but may have to be manually installed on older systems. The pagackage, often referred to as vcredist.exe can be obtained from the MS downloads site. If you are getting loader errors on this release or later when loading the dll then you may be missing this library. | |

| 1538011 | toString() non compliant with java standards. The toString() method converted the underlying data to a string and it shouldn't. This caused a rethinking of all toXXX() methods other than toDispatch(). Most of the toXXX() methods have now been deprecated and should be replaced with getXXX() methods. (pre1) |
| 1478162 | Variant does not warn user if methods called after released. All putXXX() and getXXX() methods now check to see if they've been released prior to calling the JNI code. toXXX() methods are deprecated but protected in the same way.(pre1) |
