ECB 2.11 is released!
What's new in the new release:
------------------------------
* Changes for ECB version 2.11
** Using semanticdb to jump to type-tags defined in other files.
In OO-languages like CLOS, eieio and C++ there can be type-tags in the
method-buffer which are somehow virtual because there is no definition in
the current source-file. But such a virtual type collects all its outside
defined members like methods in C++ which are defined in the *.cc file
whereas the class-definition is defined in the associated header-file.
ECB uses semanticb to open the definition-file of such a tag and to jump to
the definition of this tag. Same for parent-tags in the methods-buffer.
This feature can only work correctly if semanticdb is well configured!
** New option `ecb-ignore-special-display'
The options `special-display-buffer-names', `special-display-regexps' and
`special-display-function' work as expected. Per default this in only true,
when no durable compile-window is used (see option
`ecb-compile-window-height'), i.e. with a durable compile window the
special-display-options are ignored per default. But this behavior can be
changed with the new option `ecb-ignore-special-display'.
Thanks to Rob Walker <rob.lists@...> for a first suggestion.
** Better reporting if there are errors during ECB-startup
** Fixed bugs
*** Clicking onto nodes with positionless semantic-tags as data doesn't fail
*** Non-semantic sources (e.g. Perl, TeX) work when cedet 1.0 is loaded
*** Fixed the versioning of ECB so the autom. upgrade works
How to get it:
--------------
Sorry, it's too big to post the sources here...
If you are using ECB >= 1.80 then you can just call "M-x ecb-download-ecb" if
you are online. ECB will then download autom. latest and newest ECB and
install it for you.
Or go to the homepage at http://ecb.sourceforge.net and download it from
there.
General description of ECB:
---------------------------
ECB stands for "Emacs Code Browser" and is a source code browser for (X)Emacs.
It is a global minor-mode which displays a couple of windows that can be used
to browse directories, files and file-contents like methods and variables. It
supports source-code parsing for semantic-supported languages like Java, C,
C++, Elisp and Scheme as well as for source-types supported "only" by imenu or
etags (e.g. perl, TeX, LaTeX etc.).
Here is an ascii-screenshot of what ECB offers you:
