25.02.9.8723 (Feb 2025)

Compiler

  • Added support for $(path_separator) for the external locations (in ECF files)
  • Fixed C code generation related to generic type based on basic types such as TYPE [TYPED_POINTER [NATURAL_8]]

IDE

New features

  • Execution parameters: added the possibility to group execution profiles (in the execution parameters dialog)
  • Execution parameters: added support for environment files in the execution parameters. In addition to be able to add environment variables directly, it is now also possible to "include" a variables file (multi-line name=value content). This way it gets simpler to reuse the same environment variables for different execution profiles.
  • persistence: added MongoDB wrapper
  • persistence: added MariaDB support to EiffelStore.
  • Diagram tool: implemented export to SVG file.

Improvements

  • IDE: added the EIFDATA directory, inside the project location, to store EiffelStudio data that is not dependent on one session, and that could be committed as source code.
  • Diagram tool: the diagram XML files are not stored inside the new EIFDATA directory and not anymore in the EIFGENs directory.
  • IDE: fixed the importation of the last opened projects list when the user launches a new version of EiffelStudio for the first time.
  • Source control tool: minor improvement for the SCM tool, related to the project setup control.

Bug fixes

  • compiler: avoid unwanted precomp-estudio, precomp-iron, ... directories.
  • compiler: fixed argument processing for -metadata_cache_path when it is in last position
  • diagram tool: fixed loading of diagram links
  • diagram tool: fixed angle moving behavior: it is now possible to select an angle and move it.
  • IDE: fixed and improved the Add Class dialog for the inheritance class selection.
  • diagram tool: fixed the expected zoom in/out behavior using the mouse scrolling (before it was reversed behavior).
  • dependency tool: fixed an infinite loop
  • autotest: fixed various autotest UI issues.

Feature removed

Libraries Improvements

  • wikitext: improved support for [[File:...]] to display images (following mediawiki behavior)
  • http_client: added feature to remove query or form parameters with a given name
  • json: added JSON_SERIALIZABLE and associated JSON_SERIALIZABLE_SERIALIZER to make a class JSON serializable
  • json: added convenient classes (JSON_PRETTY_FILE_VISITOR and JSON_FILE_SERIALIZATION_VISITOR) to serialize JSON values directly to files
  • cms: expand the environment variable ${VARNAME} in the application configuration "env.json". With support for syntax: ${VARNAME-default} and ${VARNAME:-default}
  • cms: added support for "environment" in the server.ini file. (note: add for instance "environment=.env" and the name=value variables from the .env file will be applied when running the server. The .env content should be multilines NAME=VALUE ).
  • crypto: added implementation for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm
  • crypto: made BASE64 from the crypto library visible and reuse it in other libraries that need base64 encoding.
  • vision2 / model: added support for EV_PIXEL_BUFFER on EV_MODEL_PICTURE

User changes

  • refactoring: now by default the "rename class" refactoring operation also rename files.
  • diagram tool: updated toolbar layout and style (client/supplier links are now blue, and associated labels are green. Note: those colors can be changed via the Preferences)
  • diagram tool: by default, do not include the figures for ANY and the common types when generating diagrams.

Developer changes

  • migrated from subversion to git for the main EiffelStudio repository (various mirrors will be updated)
