EiffelStudio 6.0.x Releases

6.0.x

Placeholder for new stuff since last intermediate release.

New features

• Possibility for "hidden/implementation" clusters in libraries, clusters that are not accessible if the library is used (like libraries in libraries are not accessible).
• Don't do an expensive degree 6 when we freeze or finalize.
• Newly added clusters are recursive by default.
• Favorites are now stored in the user settings.
• Warning if an environment variable has changed and opportunity to (temporarily) use the old, stored value
• Trigger a full configuration rebuild if environment variables have changed
• Added configurable (project to class-level) optimization for .NET project that will mark all classes frozen if they are not descended by another.
• Add assemblies dialog shows more assembly information.
• Some diagram generation for assemblies
• Display documentation for .NET Framework assemblies on .NET 2.0
• Display features tree for .NET classes.
• Display uncompiled .NET classes.
• New Debugging options dialog (to set the arguments and other)
• Now we can pass modified environment variables to the debuggee application.
• Externals (includes, objects, resources, ...) can now be relative to the ecf file by using the new replacement $ECF_CONFIG_PATH.
• UUID is not needed for non library systems. If no uuid is specified a random one will be generated. (Startup dialog may not work correct if the config has not been saved with the random generated uuid)

Feature removed
