OshonSoft common editor component update info

The following information is very important for you if you are using more than one application from the OshonSoft suite. 'Updated OshonSoft common editor component' item in the list of news for the specific software update indicates that OshonSoft developed oshonsoftsci.ocx (previously edittextboxpro.ocx) component has been also updated with that software release (due to bug fixes and/or new features developed for the component). It is used in Basic Compiler and Assembler editors in all OshonSoft applications. Installing the new version for one application only will almost certainly cause runtime errors in old versions of other apps. So, all of the OshonSoft applications that you use should be updated to the versions from the latest release to avoid the conflicts.
You are strongly advised to always use the latest software releases.
