Revision as of 20:49, 15 August 2007

A separate page gives the detailed roadmap for implementation of the full ISO/ECMA Eiffel standard.

Roadmap information for EiffelStudio releases:

EiffelStudio 6.2 (2nd quarter 2008)

UI

  • Customizable menus and toolbars

Compiler

  • Proper semantics of feature replication
  • Reading of UTF-8 Eiffel source file
  • Ability to download libraries/applications from a website directly from EiffelStudio (see Discovering Configuration Files)
  • Progress bar for degree 6, C compilation and automatic precompilation

Library

  • Resource library

Ports

  • Mac native support


EiffelStudio 6.1 (4th quarter 2007)

UI

  • Revisit the project settings window
  • Keyboard support for code browsing/activation - Esc to go to context reference in editor, F9 to set a breakpoint, etc.

Compiler

  • Attached mechanism
  • Non-conforming inheritance
  • Exception as object
  • Object test syntax support
  • Report more than one error at a time
  • Catcall checker

Debugger

  • Reverse execution
  • Various improvements

Internal

  • Reduce size of C generated in workbench mode

EiffelStudio 6.0 (2nd quarter 2007)

UI

  • Improved docking facilities in EiffelStudio to fully control the layout of EiffelStudio
  • Configurable pick-and-drop: user can choose between a contextual menu or pick-and-drop within the EiffelStudio environment
  • Internationalization support
  • Customizable shortcuts

Compiler

  • Warning/error for changed environment variables used in a project configuration file
  • "Hidden" clusters in libraries, clusters that are not accessible if the library is used (like libraries in libraries are not accessible).
  • Clean up "inheritance" rules for project settings (e.g. assertion levels of libraries)
  • Addition of binary and octal notation for manifest integers

Internal

  • Clean up delivery, names of tools, directory layout.
  • Get rid of *.wb files and store this in the user settings.

EiffelStudio 5.7 (4th quarter 2006)

  • This is the first open source version of EiffelStudio. Look at the release notes of 5.7 for more information.
