Dev-C++ version 4.9.7.0 released :)

Hi !

This release should be fairly stable and provides many improvements since version 4.9.6.0.

Here is the list of most important changes :

  • Implemented new compiler settings framework
  • Implemented "compiler sets" infrastructure to switch between different compilers easily (e.g. gcc-2.95 and gcc-3.2)
  • Implemented search in help files for the word at cursor (context sensitive help)
  • CVS support
  • Compiler settings per-project
  • Compiler set per-project
  • "Compile as C++" per-unit
  • "Include file in compilation process" per-unit
  • Allow customizing of per-unit compile command in projects
  • Added two new macros: <DATE> and <DATETIME>
  • Added support for macros in the "default source code" (Tools/Editor Options/Code)
  • Separated layout info from project file. It is now kept in a different file
    (the same filename as the project's but with extension ".layout"). If you
    have your project under CVS control, you ''ll know why this had to happen...
  • Project version info (creates the relevant VERSIONINFO struct in the private resource)
  • Support XP Themes (creates the CommonControls 6.0 manifest file and includes it in the private resource)
  • Project manager and debugging window (in Debug tab) can now be transformed into floating windows.
  • Added "Add Library" button in Project Options
  • New "Abort compilation" button
  • Added "Files" tab in CVS form to allow selection of more than one file for the requested CVS action
  • support for DLL application hosting, for debugging and executing DLLs under Dev-C++.
  • New class browser option: "Show inherited members"
  • Added support for the '::' member access operator in code-completion
  • Added bracket highlighting. When the caret is on a bracket, that bracket and its counterpart are highlighted
  • Nested folders in project view
  • Current windows listing in Window menu
  • Bug fixes

Please report bugs to http://bloodshed.net/bugs.html
We still need help for creating some part of the help file and for the explorer icons, so if you can help with that please contact me :)

Greetings !
Colin Laplace
