whether there's a RunContext available or the code is part of a resolver during recording.
-
The new command line argument

Bugs fixed:
-

OutOfMemoryError.
-
Closing QF-Test in check recording mode without killing the SUT process would leave the SUT in a completely
unusable state.
-
The command line argument
-killRunningInstances could inadvertently terminate QF-Test processes on
other machines in the local network provided those were started with -allowkilling.
-

large images this could slow down QF-Test noticeably.

renamed to "Swing" and information for engines that are not available in the server license is no longer
displayed. These changes all apply to the interactive license administration tool as well.

sometimes cause the entire SUT to terminate.
-
