Compiler

  • dotnet: many improvements in the support of .NETCore (net6.0, net7.0, net8.0, ...) (see the online documentation for current limitations).
  • compiler: fixed type error in class ELSIF_EXPRESSION_B, related to BYTE_LIST.enlarge_tree
  • compiler: Added debugging support for Eiffel .NETCore applications on Windows.
  • dotnet: new warning to report that SCOOP concurrency is not yet available for .NET project and use instead the thread concurrency.
  • dotnet: updated generated csproj file (used to build "native" executable, and also make it simpler to debug Eiffel .NETCore applications with VisualStudio Code).
  • dotnet: Added pdb file generation for Eiffel .NETCore applications.
  • dotnet: added partial support for .Net generic methods.

IDE

  • studio: added [Ctrl]+[Up] and [Ctrl]+[Down] shortcuts to scroll up or down the editor by one line.
  • studio: added 3 composer commands (add attribute setter procedure, remove feature, add creation procedure) to assistant user in editor (see menu `Edit > Composer`...)
  • studio: Added a new way to authentication, using a "Sign in" challenge with the browser authentication system
  • studio: updated the release update checker to take into account the revision number for the full version.
  • compiler: ensure the IL environments also include the short name "net6.0, net7.0, ..." and not only the full version.

Bug fixes

  • studio: fixed regression, about displaying text longer than grid item width (fixed the ellipsis implementation)
  • studio: fixed EiffelStudio layout deletion operation
  • studio: fixed diagram tool "cancel export to PNG", to really cancel and stop any export action.
  • dotnet: fixed implementation of PLATFORM for dotnet on non Windows platforms.
  • dotnet: improved detection of the dotnet root directory (such as $HOME/.dotnet/ , ...)
  • espawn: fixed and improved the usage of espawn temporary file name

  • dotnet: improved implementation of object test for descendant of generic type.
  • dotnet: fixed instance free call on inherited external features.
  • dotnet: fixed Eiffel .Net support for builtin static features.
  • debugger: when starting an execution via the Execution parameters dialog, always apply changes if any.
  • various minor bug fixes (including as well typo, ...)

Libraries Bug fixes

  • vision2: do not modify anymore the EV_KEY_CONTANTS values, when used in relation with EV_KEY and EV_ACCELERATOR
  • process: use buffer.capacity instead of .count when calling read in order to use the full capacity.
  • docking: Fixed SD_TOOL_BAR_CONTENT.is_menu_bar if items is empty
  • WEL, vision2: ensures wel and vision2 applications are supported by Eiffel .NETCore compilation.

Libraries Improvements

  • compression/zlib: Added ZLIB_UTILITIES to make it simpler to (un)compress a file
  • CMS: improved the Eiffel CMS library (new cleanup hook, better redirection system, admin for node module, ...)
  • EiffelStore: Updated implementation and configuration to make it simpler to use on unices (priority to the MYSQLINC and MYSQLLIB variables if defined, otherwise try to use the msql-config script.)
  • EiffelWeb: Ignore the query part for URI mapping
  • JSON: Added JSON_BASIC_SERIALIZER for convenience.
  • JSON: The field name for type information is now customizable via the JSON_(DE)SERIALIZER_CONTEXT interface (default is "$TYPE").

  • dotnet: Added "-metadata_cache_path" description in the compiler help message.
  • dotnet: Added a new environment variable ISE_DOTNET_ASSEMBLIES_PATH to overwrite the default location of the .Net MD Cache (under Eiffel User Files/.../dotnet/assemblies)
  • command line: added -appinfo to get information about Eiffelstudio installation (i.e: ?, version, short_version, version_type, layout, layout.install_path, layout.user_files_path, layout.hidden_files_path, environment).
  • compiler: on unices, to compile generated C code, use the compiler (usually gcc) instead of the specific 'ld' tool
