Renew 2.6prv

MacOS refuses to open the App because the developer cannot be verified.

Description: MacOS refuses to open the app because the developer cannot be verified and recommends to move it to trash.

Environments: multiple versions of MacOS

Cause: Renew is not signed with an apple developer certificate. Thus it is considered malicious by MacOS.

Workaround: Explicitly allow the app to run in the Security & Privacy Settings (see Apple Support: Safely open apps on your Mac)

Syntax error message about linkage problem

Description: After editing an inscription or when compiling a net, the syntax error window shows up with the follwing message:

Variable expected, but xxx is class with linkage problem:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: some/package/xxx (wrong name: some/package/Xxx)

Environments: Windows.

Cause: Due to a bug fix from release 2.0.1 to 2.1, the Java Net Compiler no longer ignores a LinkageError reported by the class loader. One situation where the Java class loader reports such an error is when it is queried for a class name and finds a file on a case-insensitive file system (e.g. on Windows machines) that matches the name up to the case. This imposes a problem for Renew when untyped nets are combined with generic imports (e.g. import some.package.*;) or classes in the unnamed package.

Workaround: There are alternative solutions that free Renew from the need to guess what the meaning of the name is. Either...

... declare all variables,
... use specific imports, or
... rename the variables so that they really differ from any class name.
