RE: Install? Re: [Dev-C++] [RELEASE] Dev-C++ 4.9.6.0

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

I had the same problem. In 4.9.5.0, nothing happened when I pressed the
update button. However, since I had my mingw separately installed, i just
removed the 4.9.5.0 and installed the new 4.9.6.0. The good part is that
in the new version, the update button works. I managed to download and
install a new version of the update program :-)

I don't know if the problem was because I was behind a firewall, or if it
had something to do with running Windows XP.

Another funny thing when I updates whas that since 4.9.6.0 moved the
configuration files to a new location under NT/Win2K/WinXP, my previous
configurations didn't work. When I opened the /Tools/Editor Options
alternative and made a change to a parameter and appliced, I suddenly lost
all syntax highlighing. Seems that somehow all colors got reset to white
on black - however some became black on black :-)

The class browser code seems stable now, but it is still much to slow to
be useful - at least for larger projects using wxWindows. It regularly
freezes for a couple of seconds whenever I save a file or walk around with
class browser active.
