#develop .99b Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

1) What's New

This is a stopgap release in between milestones. We have improved VB.NET code completion, fixed a lot of forms designer bugs, made the VS.NET solution import/export more robust and replaced the original C# compiler options dialog with a property grid for easier future extension.

There is one major change in this release though: the main IDE is now no longer using the Magic Library, we have switched to Weifen Luo's DockManager Control (http://www.freewebs.com/weifenluo/DockManager.htm). Please report any problems that you experience with the docking of the pads and views inside the IDE.

2) Known Issues

Before getting to the Changes section, we'd like to point out a few known issues that need not be reported as bugs (same as for the orginial .99 release):

* Printing documents doesn't work
* Folding markers are drawn but folding itself is not activated
* Ctrl+Space is partially implemented, but not available the UI

3) Changes

* Improvements of C# and VB.NET Forms Designers
* Improvements to VB.NET Code Completion
* Improvements of the VS.NET Import/Export Feature
* Install/Uninstall batch files for Nunit and nProf
* C# Project Options Dialog Changed

5) Where to Report Bugs

We do have an automatic error reporting dialog when #develop crashes with an unhandled exception. It will automatically take you to

http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/BugReporting.aspx

where you can paste the error information. On non-exception bugs, go to the above location and provide us with .NET and OS version information.

In both cases, please do not forget to provide us with step by step instructions to reproduce the bug. Thank you for helping make #develop a more functional and stable product!
