• compiler: Fixed eweasel test#exec327 where evaluation an assertion the code being executed encounter the new check ... then ... end instruction it would reset some internal flags causing assertion within assertions to be checked when they should not.
• compiler: Prevented a failure in the case of a directory containing Eiffel classes is abruptly removed from disk while being processed at degree 6.
• compiler: Fixed bug#16815: Feature call on void target in {CLASS_C}.inline-agent#1 of has_stable_attribute in EiffelStudio.
• compiler: Fixed bug#16795: No error or warning for unknown once key.
• debugger: Fixed bug#16838: User can bring up multiple breakpoint dialogs on same breakpoint.
• studio: fixed bug#16831: Picking and dropping class from Features window into Editor tab clears Features window.
• compiler: Fixed incremental bugs that involve types anchored to expanded ones (bug#16882 (test#incr357), bug#15825 (test#incr329)).
• compiler: Fixed bug#16921 that resulted in VEVI error for an attribute of a formal generic type, constrained to an expanded type (see test#attach073).
• compiler: Fixed issues with conformance checks for formal generics constrained to other formal generics, including conformance to expanded types (see test#conform009, test#conform010, test#valid114).
• compiler: Disallowed incorrectly accepted empty contraint types that also fixes some related crashes (bug#15197 (test#term171), bug#16133 (test#multicon052), bug#16908 (test#syntax061)).
• compiler: Fixed bug#16912: Executing many inherited once-per-object routines crashes in finalized system
• compiler: Fixed an issue that may cause a compiler crash when a formal generic constraint lists a generic derivation that is never created during system execution (see test#term185).
• compiler: Fixed bug#16970 that caused incorrect code to be generated when using target type NONE in object test with the source of an expanded type (see test#attach076).
