Released June 2009, WinTask 3.6
A debugger is introduced in version 3.6 (not available in WinTask Lite). WinTask Full version provides a script debugger as an aid in developing scripts. Using WinTask Debug mode, you can halt the script execution at a certain line, with the Editor showing the line in question, display the value of variables and then resume execution till the next line you have specified.
All the features of WinTask debugger can be accessed from the new Debug main menu option in the WinTask Editor window. A Debug toolbar is also provided that you can display selecting View/Debug toolbar menu option.

Released March 2009, WinTask 3.5b
A new function has been added:
The InWindowAnyInstance keyword has been added for Synchronization on Window : the pause is done then for the specified window, whatever instance it has. This new keyword allows to deal more easily with Internet Explorer pop-up windows. The same keyword can be used too in OnAction Window (OnAction is not available in WinTask Lite).
The keyword Immediate can replace the Forced keyword in CloseWindow to close immediately the specified window.
When you compile a script, errors and warnings are displayed in the Output window of the Editor. It is now possible to display only the errors (and not the warnings) by checking the checkbox Suppress compiler warnings in the Configure Run dialog box (Configure/Run menu).
MoveWindow and SizeWindow accept now coordinates covering the multiple monitors desktop area. So a script can now launch an application and move it to a second monitor. Note that Recording mode generates a lot of intermediate lines when you record a window move, so edit the script and just keep the first one and the last one.
The minor fixes included in version 3.5b are listed below:
