When dealing with a support issue of one of our Deltanji source control sites this week I learned that if you're using InterSystems versions earlier than 2018.1 on Unix-type platforms it's possible that a class you export in UDL format will subsequently fail to import. So I'm posting this information here in case it helps other folk.

In time for InterSystems Global Summit 2019 we at George James Software are pleased to offer a cloud-hosted evaluation environment where you can work with Serenji in Visual Studio Code, editing and debugging ObjectScript in a sandbox running InterSystems IRIS 2019.3 Community edition.
You can do it all from your web browser. Nothing will be installed on your workstation, nor will any settings have to be changed on it.
To take Serenji for a test drive please visit https://georgejames.com/dc-gitpod

We've just published an update to the Serenji extension for VS Code. Starting with this version (3.0.7) you can now debug the code that implements your REST services. Here's a taster:
Read more about Serenji on Open Exchange.
We at George James Software are pleased to announce that our acclaimed code debugger and editor Serenji is now available as a Visual Studio Code extension.
As well as supporting the latest InterSystems IRIS platform Serenji also works with earlier platforms, including versions lacking the server-side Atelier API support required by other VS Code extensions.
Serenji connects you directly to the code in your namespaces, resulting in an experience more familiar to existing Studio users. No need to export and import classes and routines.
We believe Serenji is the first extension to bring VS Code's powerful debugging features to ObjectScript developers.

At the George James Software booth at Global Summit last year we took the wraps off the work we've been doing to make our popular editing and debugging tool Serenji available on the Visual Studio Code platform.
Rather than requiring you to pull code from your namespaces into local files, then push the changes back to the namespace to run it, you work directly in the namespace. In other words, the editing experience is like Studio rather than like Atelier.
As well as editing code you can also debug it directly from VSCode.

Using our cool new debugging extension for Visual Studio Code I'm trying to debug a CreateProjection method of a class, but when I compile it the work apparently gets done in one of the worker jobs, so my breakpoint never triggers.
Is there a compiler flag or qualifier to force the compilation to be done in-process rather than getting handed off to a worker job?

If you are attending Global Summit 2018 please be sure to say hello to George James Software in the Partner Pavilion.
You are also invited to the informal lunchtime meeting we're hosting at Global Summit on Tuesday 2nd October from 1pm in Indian Paintbrush, a meeting room at the conference venue. We will be previewing the next versions of Deltanji, our integrated source code management solution, and Serenji, our editor and debugger.
Just now when I started up my Eclipse I was offered an Atelier update. After waiting for so long, how could I possibly refuse? Wish me luck!

If you have ever issued the command ccontrol help to discover what ccontrol is capable of, perhaps you noticed this section:
Syntax:
ccontrol default
Description:
Display the name of the default Cache instance,
if one has been designated.

Documentation here lists the kinds of members a class definition may contain. In summary:
- Parameters
- Methods
- Properties
- Class queries
- XData blocks
- Projections
- (and some that are relevant only for persistent classes):
- Storage definitions
- Indices
- Foreign keys
- SQL triggers
Later in the same document, a section headed "Class Member Names" contains this warning:
