Server

• Fixed random REST 500 Internal Server errors some Windows servers were getting with 9.2
• Addressed some extremely rare SSL error conditions/li>

Scripting

• MWScript Debugger: The MoneyWorks scripting language now has a full-featured debugger with breakpoints, single-stepping, and variable viewing. See The MWScript Debugger for more information
• The script editor Find command is much improved; all matches are indicated and you can step through matches forwards and backwards (shift key for backwards)
• Foreach array key type — changed behaviour: MWScript foreach k in array... the array key values for k now have their original type (numeric, string, date) instead of always being a string. This should be transparent to existing scripts unless they do something in particular that assumes the type is text (with numbers padded with zeroes on the left)
• New addition assignment operator: += operator allows addition/concatenation to a variable to be more succinct (i.e. let s += expr instead of let s = s + expr. The += version is much faster for string concatenation when the string being appended to is large
