Bug History

Zorro is one of the most stable and robust development tools, and we're going to great lengths for keeping it that way. New implemented functions pass multiple test levels for making sure that they work as described. Any new Zorro release is beta tested for several weeks by strategy developers and users, thus ensuring that it has no obvious or severe bugs. Still, software can never be 100% bug-safe (click for proof). Below is a list of all bugs ever found in any Zorro release.

Since Zorro serves as a frontend to your script, it's no problem to crash it or let it behave strange. This is not a Zorro bug - read under Troubleshooting how to find and fix those bugs in your script. If you need help, subscribe a support ticket and contact Zorro Support. If you've encountered one of the real Zorro bugs listed below, use the described workaround or get the fixed version on the Download page. If you found a previously unknown bug in the latest Zorro release, please contact support@opgroup.de. Please describe how to reproduce the problem, and always include the script, the log, and all related data such as asset list, asset history, or external logs. Please do not send screenshots, videos, or photos that you took from your monitor (unless we ask for them). Of course you need no support ticket for bug reports. Real bugs are normally fixed within 2-3 days.

It's unprovable that a sufficiently complex program is bug-free. The proof:

You can never be sure that a program is bug-free and won't crash - for instance, freeze by an endless loop - with all possible parameters that it processes. In the case of Zorro, 'all possible parameters' means all possible scripts and data. Alan Turing found the proof 80 years ago. Consider a function BugFree that can test whether a program with certain entry parameters crashes or not. BugFree looks like this (in pseudo code):

function BugFree(Program,Parameters)
{   
   if(Program does not crash with given Parameters) 
     return 1; 
   else 
     return 0;
}

Of course BugFree must not crash itself, but terminate properly even when the tested Program crashes. Now we define a recursive function TestMe that calls BugFree:

function TestMe(Program)
{
   if(BugFree(Program,Program)) 
     TestMe(Program); 
}

This evil function only terminates when Program does not crash when it gets itself as a parameter (this means here a Zorro running its own source code). Otherwise TestMe calls itself endlessly and freezes. If you now call TestMe with itself as a parameter, you'll get a contradiction:

TestMe(TestMe); 

This call does not crash only when it crashes. Therefore a function like BugFree cannot exist. Therefore we can never know if Zorro won't crash with your script and data before actually running it.
