EiffelStudio 6.5.x Releases

6.5.x

Placeholder for new stuff since last intermediate release.

New features

Improvements

  • studio: Improved error messages for VUAR/VJAR/VBAR errors to mention compatibility instead of just conformance.
  • studio: Now double clicking on an ecf file will select the previously compiled target by default.
  • ec: Fixed command line compilation to use the current working directory unless -project_path is specified (restoring pre-ecf behavior)
  • ec: When an ecf file has been specified with -config, the previously compiled target is chosen as the first option in the compilable target list.
  • AutoTest: Improved tag tree for displaying tests by merging view/filter box into one input field
  • AutoTest: Potential test classes are traversed asynchronously after each compilation, allowing the user to continue working while tests are found. This also removes the need for special test clusters.

Feature removed

Bug fixes

  • base: Fixed bug#4118 where on .NET `put' had no effect on the actual process environment variables because the API was only available in .NET 2.0 which is what we support at the minimum.
  • base: Fixed bug in `copy' from HEAP_PRIORITY_QUEUE which would not do anything because it was simply copying itself, not other.
  • base: Fixed bug in `remove' from HEAP_PRIORITY_QUEUE which caused the internal structure to be referenced beyond its bounds.
  • serialization: Fixed a bug in SED_INDEPENDENT_DESERIALIZER in the experimental branch where we could get an out of bound access because we incorrectly resized a SPECIAL.
  • studio: Fixed bug preventing the an output from being selected on Windows.
  • studio: Fixed duplicate output issue when a subsystem activates the outputs tool before showing it.
  • studio: Fixed bug preventing the new features dialog from being displayed when using newer syntax.
  • EiffelVision: Fixed potential crash with tab navigation code when a key press was sent to a widget that is in the process of being unparented.

User changes

Developer changes

6.5.7.9743 (July 13th 2009)

New features

  • base: Added `own_from_pointer' in C_STRING.

Improvements

  • studio:Made some bug fixes and improvements to the new output tool.
  • studio: Added tooltip to precompilation wizard list to show item's ecf file path

Feature removed

Bug fixes

  • autotest: Fixed bug#15875 where selecting a test class and choosing run had no effect, now it will run all the test cases defined in that class.
  • base: Added missing `own_from_pointer' routine in the .NET version of MANAGED_POINTER
  • base: Made TYPE class similar to the classic version.
  • studio: Fixed bug#13103: Cannot set Shift+Esc as a shortcut in the preferences dialog.
  • studio: Fixed typo reported by bug#13220 in the Metric tool.
  • compiler: Fixed issue where one could not debug an application if the `executable_name' specified in the ECF contained the .exe suffix on Windows. This fixes bug#11834.

User changes

  • compiler: the indexing value volatile previously introduced has been renamed into transient.

Developer changes

6.5.7.9500

New features

  • base: Changed {ANY}.generating_type to return an instance of TYPE
  • runtime: Added support for transient attributes for store/retrieve. A transient attribute is an attribute which is not stored at runtime and for which its absence in the retrieval system has no effect.
  • compiler: Supported detection and validity error report for VSRP(3) (the root procedure is not precondition-free) (see test#vsrp301).
