[Dev-C++] [RELEASE] Dev-C++ 4.9.7.0

[Colin L. <ha...@bl...>]

Hi !

Dev-C++ 4.9.7.0 is finally available !
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
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 !
