BETA 23.04.*.* (... 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.
