Bug fixes

  • wel/vision2: Fixed an issue with {WEL_CHOOSE_FOLDER_DIALOG} where `set_starting_path' had no effect (rev#92337).
  • compiler: test#scoop020 - Fixed a bug that caused incorrect conformance checks for formal generics of different separate status(rev#92353).

Developer changes

7.3.9.1412 (Monday March 18th 2013)

New features

  • vision2: Added {EV_PIXEL_BUFFER}.stretched which gives you a stretched version of an EV_PIXEL_BUFFER. The quality of the stretch image is much better than of EV_PIXMAP for Windows. On Unix it is the same quality as EV_PIXMAP. (rev#91208)
  • base: Added ability to store/retrieve expanded objects with SED (but not yet those that are reference with copy semantics).
  • EiffelStudio: Completion window tooltip with contracts.
  • EiffelStudio: Debug tooltip that display value of expression when mouse pointer moves over.

Improvements

  • vision2: Improved stretching of EV_PIXMAP on Windows by using the Color on Color stretching mode of the Win32 API StretchBlt. (rev#91207)
  • autotest: Now tests will be executed under the location of the ECFs, and not in the Testing subdirectory of the EIFGENs directory. (rev#91247)

Feature removed

  • Dropped BIT type.

Bug fixes

  • vision2: Fixed {EV_GRID_COLUMN}.required_width_of_item_span to only take into account visible item. (code review#9356052 and rev#91224).
  • vision2: Fixed a resizing bug when you have a vertical/horizontal box with a minimum size set, if one of the item has a minimum size larger than its parent, then in some circumstances the child will be shrinked beyond its minimum size causing some visual glitches. See regression tests TEST_EV_CONTAINER.test_horizontal_box_resizing and TEST_EV_CONTAINER.test_vertical_box_resizing for scenario. (code review#9351166 and rev#91251).
  • wel: Fixed a 64-bit truncation bug in WEL which was only found when compiling a Vision2 project using an EV_COMBO_BOX on Windows 8 using VCExpress 2012. (rev#91290).
  • vision2/wel: Fixed a memory corruption that would occur when loading a 32-bit BMP image as a background image of a container in a 16-bit or lower display. (rev#91377).

User changes

  • base: Storables made using SED from version 6.6 or earlier of EiffelStudio not using the `is_for_fast_retrieval' setting won't be recoverable.
