Roadmap information for EiffelStudio releases:

6.2

Ports

  • Mac native support


6.1

  • Non-conforming inheritance
  • Proper semantics of feature replication
  • Configurable commands (i.e. location and shortcut)
  • Exception as object
  • Resource library
  • Object test syntax support
  • Reading of UTF-8 Eiffel source file

6.0 (1st quarter 2007)

UI

  • Improved docking facilities in EiffelStudio to fully control the layout of EiffelStudio
  • Configurable pick-and-drop: user can choose between a contextual menu or pick-and-drop within the EiffelStudio environment
  • Internationalization support
  • Keyboard support for code browsing/activation - Esc to go to context reference in editor, F9 to set a breakpoint, etc.

Compiler

  • Progress bar for degree 6, C compilation and automatic precompilation
  • Warning/error for changed environment variables used in a project configuration file
  • "Hidden" clusters in libraries, clusters that are not accessible if the library is used (like libraries in libraries are not accessible).
  • Clean up "inheritance" rules for project settings (e.g. assertion levels of libraries)
  • Addition of binary and octal notation for manifest integers

Internal

  • Reduce size of C generated in workbench mode
  • Clean up delivery, names of tools, directory layout.
  • Get rid of *.wb files and store this in the user settings.

5.7

  • This is the first open source version of EiffelStudio. Look at the release notes of 5.7 for more information.
