EiffelStudio 6.2.x Releases
6.2.7
Placeholder for new stuff since last intermediate release.
New features
- studio: Integrated handler for displaying smart token context buttons based on editor tokens.
Improvements
- compiler: Speed up compilation time at degree 3 (and degree 4 to some extend) by a significant factor for large systems. The more classes you have, better is the improvement. Speed up code generation (degree -1 and -3) as well by a smaller factor.
- studio: Pop up address bar and completion window respects maximized IDE window borders, when using multiple screens.
Feature removed
Bug fixes
- compiler: Fixed compiler crash when compiling a class where a type used in a signature of a feature has the wrong number of generic parameters. Fixed eweasel test#incr285.
- compiler: Fixed an incorrect code generation for the dynamic binding of routines defined in generic classes (eweasel test#exec272 and test#final039) and attribute access in general (eweasel test#final039).
- library: Made EiffelCOM compilable (it was missing from the previous 6.2 releases due to an incompatibility with Exceptions as objects).
- base: Made STORABLE inherit from EXCEPTIONS again to avoid breaking existing code.
User changes
Developer changes
- vision2: Added hide actions to EiffelVision 2 windows.
- Debugger: Added hidden breakpoints.
- ESF: Popup window foundations now respect screens and widgets. The popup automatically repositions itself when a popup widget is displayed/hidden.
6.2.7.1786 (January 7th 2008)
New features
- studio: Error list tool now supports multiple selection, for better copy to clipboard usage.
- compiler: Exceptions as objects are now implemented.
- compiler: Generated code is about 3-4% faster and generated executable about 2-3% smaller.
- debugger: new breakpoint editor dialog, and new when hits actions, including filter using tags
Feature removed
Bug fixes
- runtime: Fixed some issues with storing and retrieving of expanded generic types.
User changes
Developer changes
- studio: Added new session manager service for data persistence between running instances of EiffelStudio.
- studio: Improved selection handling in some tools and in common implementation.
- studio: Debug-memory tool is now hooked into the session manager service to retain selected buttons and filter information.
- studio: Integrated new help providers service. No help providers implemented yet.
- studio: Switched over features tool to use ESF and new optimizations.
