ECB 2.25 is released! What's new in the new release: ------------------------------ * Changes for ECB version 2.25 ** More flexible sorting of the Sources- and the History-buffer *** `ecb-sort-history-items' has been renamed to `ecb-history-sort-method' and offers now the same choices as the already existing option `ecb-sources-sort-method'. *** Two new options `ecb-sources-sort-ignore-case' and `ecb-history-sort-ignore-case' which allow to ignore case when sorting the Sources- and/or the History-buffer. Thanks for suggestion to Markus Gritsch <gr...@iu...>. Per default case is now ignored. ** New icons for parent-display in the Methods-buffer. Thanks to Markus Gritsch <gr...@iu...> for contributing the icon-images. ** Fixed Bugs *** Fixed an annoying bug which results sometimes in an error "stack-overflow error in equal" when using `senator-try-expand-semantic' which is called when you use hippie-expand for example. Maybe the bug occured also in other situation but now this bug has been extirpated! *** Fixed a bug in the mechanism which prescanes directories for emptyness. Now a directory is checked if it is accessible before it is prescanned - otherwise the prescan could fail with an error. *** Fixed a bug in the autom. option-upgrading-mechanism. Thanks to Javier Oviedo <jo...@te...> for pointing to the underlying problem. 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". While Emacs already has good *editing* support for many modes, its *browsing* support is somewhat lacking. That's where ECB comes in: it displays a number of informational windows that allow for easy source code navigation and overview. The informational windows can contain: - A directory tree, - a list of source files in the current directory, - a list of functions/classes/methods/... in the current file, (ECB uses the Semantic Bovinator, or Imenu, or etags, for getting this list so all languages supported by any of these tools are automatically supported by ECB too) - a history of recently visited files, - the Speedbar and - output from compilation (the "*compilation*" window) and other modes like help, grep etc. or whatever a user defines to be displayed in this window. As an added bonus, ECB makes sure to keep these informational windows visible, even when you use C-x 1 and similar commands. It goes without saying that you can configure the layout, ie which informational windows should be displayed where. ECB comes with a number of ready-made window layouts to choose from. Here is an ascii-screenshot of what ECB offers you: ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | | | Directories | | | | | |--------------| | | | | | Sources | | | | | |--------------| Edit-area | | | (can be splitted in several edit-windows) | | Methods/Vars | | | | | |--------------| | | | | | History | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | | Compilation-window (optional) | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ For more details go to http://ecb.sourceforge.net/ Enjoy, Klaus Klaus Berndl mailto: kla...@sd... sd&m AG http://www.sdm.de software design & management Carl-Wery-Str. 42, 81739 Muenchen, Germany Tel +49 89 63812-392, Fax -220 |
