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 !
