EiffelStudio 23.09.10.7325 (September 2023)

Compiler

• dotnet: added compilation support for .NETCore (net6.0, net7.0) (see the online documentation for current limitations).
• dotnet: removed support for .NET frameworks older than v4.0

IDE

• studio: using the environment variable `ES_CLOUD_PREFERRED_HTTP_CLIENT`, the user can force EiffelStudio to use the "curl" executable instead of libcurl or EiffelNet for the cloud account webapi client.
• Compiler: the compiler creates required directory recursively, including the `-project_path ..` location if it does not exist.
• studio: fixed the behavior of EiffelStudio when the user tries to compile first inside a read-only directory, and then to select a better one. EiffelStudio was still reporting the permission denied until EiffelStudio is relaunched.
• various minor bug fixes

Libraries Bug fixes

• EiffelBase: fixed the implementation of `SPECIAL.same_items` when Current and other is the same object (noticed when using same_items with immutable string objects built from `shared_substring` function).
• EiffelBase: fixed assertions on `TRAVERSABLE_SUBSET` and `LINEAR_SUBSET`
• EiffelBase: fixed implementation of `disjoint` and `symdif` from class `SUBSET_STRATEGY_GENERIC`.
• EiffelBase: fixed implementation of `move_item` from `LINEAR_SUBSET`
• http_client: fixed the `connect_timeout` implementation for the "libcurl" case.

Libraries Improvements

• http_client: added an new implementation of http_client library using the `curl` executable (in addition to `libcurl`, `net`, there is now `curl`)
• http_client: when using DEFAULT_HTTP_CLIENT, it is possible to use `{HTTP_CLIENT}.force_default_client (READABLE_STRING_GENERAL)` to start testing with a specific implementation, instead of using first `libcurl`, then `net`, then `curl`.

BETA 23.08.10.7218 (August 2023)

• IDE: Added more information in the debugger output (modified environment variables, and timestamp for launched,stopped and quit events)
• dotnet: Added support for renaming and prefixing .NET classes based on namespaces (instead of assemblies)
• various bug fixes related to Autotest.

BETA 23.04.10.6768 (April 2023)

New features

• IDE: Added "Toggle comment" to comment/uncomment current line/selection. The associated accelerator is Ctrl+/ .

Improvements

• IDE: Improved the impact of the zoom factor on EiffelStudio tools (especially features tool and errors&warnings tool)

Bug fixes

• compiler: fixed a bug in {CONF_MODIFIED_VISITOR}.handle_class that caused random behavior of test#incr263 by unexpectedly flipping a state flag.
• syntax_updaer: Corrected a bug with conversion of an old ECF when an option was set to a default, but this default was different in the new ECF version, by setting an explicit value instead.
• EiffelBase: Fixed code iterating directly on the READABLE_STRING_(8|32).area by starting at the expected `area_lower` instead of 0. Otherwise strings created by IMMUTABLE_STRING_(8|12).shared_substring (...) were not correctly processed by those converters.
• IDE: Fixed the uncomment of Eiffel lines when there was more than one block "--".
• .Net (framework): Fixing location of dotnet (framework) executable in SDKs (resgen, ...)

Feature removed

• IDE: removed "Recompile overrides" command and associated menu/toolbar/shortcut entries because override clusters should be always recompiled, including "quick_melt" compilation mode.

Libraries Improvements

• EiffelBase: Made classes immune to default string/character size.
• EiffelWEL: Improved the memory management for WEL_GDIP_IMAGE.
• CMS: Updated feed management to restore the `title` if set in the feed aggregration (potentially update the description as well).
• CMS: added basic CMS node management
• Gobo-Project: Updated to Gobo Eiffel version 22.01 (added gecc, geimage and gedoc)

User changes

• IDE: import previous credential when installing a new EiffelStudio version.
• IDE: Updated color management when dark colors are used
  • added various preferences to let the user choose its own colors for many UI and text elements.
  • Use preferences for debugger tool\'s colors, so that user can choose their own colors.

Developer changes

• .Net: moved .Net consumer `emdc.exe` under `%ISE_EIFFEL%\studio\spec\%ISE_PLATFORM%\bin\emdc.exe`.
• .Net: added new .Net consumer `nemdc` tool to `%ISE_EIFFEL%\studio\spec\%ISE_PLATFORM%\bin\netcore` directory.
• Code template: added a new `to_utf_8_string_8.e` code template.
