EPIC - Eclipse Perl Integration / News: Recent posts

The previous testing version of EPIC was promoted to 'stable' today and is now available as direct download and through the 'stable' update site. 0.5.33 contains new features implemented since August 2006, several bug fixes that could not be incorporated into the 0.4.x release, and a major internal restructuring of the debugger code.

At this point, the 'stable' (0.5.33) and 'testing' (0.6.0) versions are identical, except that 0.6.0 requires Eclipse 3.2. Users interested in new features should upgrade to Eclipse 3.2 (if not already done) and keep upgrading through the 'testing' update site. Users who prefer stability should stay with 'stable', which will remain compatible with Eclipse 3.1 until the next testing-to-stable switch.

An updated version of EPIC, the open source Perl IDE based on the Eclipse platform, is now available.

This version works with Eclipse 3.2, has a completely rewritten parser, many bug fixes and several new features (see ChangeLog on the web site). The stable and testing versions are released together and are at this point identical. However, new features will be only provided through the testing version, while stable will be updated only with bug fixes. Both versions can be installed and kept up-to-date using Eclipse's Update Manager. An archive with the 'stable' version can be also downloaded for offline installation.... read more
