Developer changes

13.11.9.2960 (August 2013 Sprint Release)

New features

• Added ZeroMQ wrapper for version 3.2 or above.
• Added support for Sun C compiler on Linux for RHEL, OL and Ubuntu 8.04. Other Linux distributions are not supported.
• library: Added features {TYPE}.is_conforming_to and {TYPE}.is_strictly_conforming_to as implementations of the comparison queries from PART_COMPARABLE to support partial order on type objects (rev#92913).
• library: Added functions {TUPLE}.new_tuple_from_special and {TUPLE}.new_tuple_from_tuple to create a tuple of a specified type filled with given values (rev#92917).
• library: Added features {ROUTINE}.flexible_call and {FUNCTION}.flexible_item that accept argument tuples whose type should not exactly match the type of the routine as soon as the types of arguments match (rev#92918).

Improvements

Feature removed

• library: Marked {ROUTINE}.empty_operands as obsolete to be ready for removal in the future as non-void-safe (rev#92918).

Bug fixes

• vision2: Fixed issues with EV_RICH_TEXT on Windows which would crash if you make any selection. Improved the RTF parser to support non-standard RTF files.
• base: Fixed EiffelBase in compatible mode so that one can link executable because it was still referencing some low level BIT runtime features that have now been removed.
• compiler: Fixed schema specification of ECF to match what the compiler is actually expecting.

Developer changes

13.11.9.2854 (July 2013 Sprint Release)

New features

library: Added bracket alias for {FUNCTION}.item (rev#92855).

Improvements

• Speed up SCOOP by an average of 35% up to 500% on some benchmarks.

Feature removed

Bug fixes

• EiffelStudio: bug#18563 - Supported renaming of features used in qualified anchored types when refactoring code (rev#92744).
• compiler: bug#18167 - Avoided using attachment status of variables computed for a routine body when checking a postcondition (rev#92760).
• EiffelStudio: bug#16960 - Fixed an exception when showing an inherited class invariant with qualified anchored types (rev#92767).
• compiler: bug#15591 (test#attach106), bug#17302 (test#valid270) - Fixed an erroneous reporting of VUOT for object test locals when right-hand side of a binary expression using these locals has a validity error (rev#92769).
• compiler: bug#17693 (test#anchor061) - Avoided assertion violation when an assertion-enabled compiler is used to process feature that is no longer available for a formal generic because of renaming in the corresponding constraint (rev#92776).
• compiler: bug#18643 (test#attach107, test#attach102) - Fixed a bug that may lead to unreported VEVI errors for attributes not properly set by a creation procedure when compiled in complete void safety mode (rev#92835).
• compiler: Fixed a crash when converting old Ace files to new ECF format. (bug#18642 and bug#18628, rev#92820)
