EiffelStudio long term goals
UI
- Customizable menus and toolbars
- Revisit the project settings window
- Progress bar for degree 6, for C compilation and for automatic precompilation
- Better wizards
- Keyboard support for code browsing/activation - Esc to go to context reference in editor, F9 to set a breakpoint, etc.
- More refactoring
- Smart compiling (The goal is to not have to press the compile button ever).
Compiler
- Ability to download libraries/applications from a website directly from EiffelStudio (see Discovering Configuration Files)
- Add new inheritance clause semantics (rename at the end rather than at the beginning).
- Experimental new catcall mechanism
- Catcall checker
Debugger
- Allow editing of variables in debugger
- Expand execution replay mechanism; add possibility of changing values then replaying
- Make sure debugger supports new (ISO/ECMA) mechanisms
Library
- Resource library
Internal
- Reduce size of C generated in workbench mode
EiffelStudio 7.3 (May/June 2013)
UI
Compiler
Debugger
Library
Internal
EiffelStudio 7.2 (5 February 2013)
General
- Unicode support for path, command line arguments, environment variable throughout the EiffelStudio environment and libraries
Libraries
- EiffelBase improvements
- EiffelStore improvements
EiffelStudio 7.1 (15 May 2012)
Compiler
- SCOOP: Add garbage collection of unused SCOOP processors.
Libraries
- EiffelVision 2: Make compatible with SCOOP.
EiffelStudio 7.0 (15 November 2011)
Compiler
- Void safety: "Design mode" will suppress void-safety errors for unreachable code.
Libraries
- Library and tool to support creating Microsoft "ribbon" interfaces on Windows based EiffelVision 2 applications.
EiffelStudio 6.8 (15 May 2011)
Compiler
- SCOOP: Usable implementation of SCOOP model for threads
Debugger
- Make debugger "attachable" to and "detachable" from running applications
EiffelStudio 6.7 (15 November 2010)
Compiler
- Concurrency: implementation of the basic SCOOP model for threads
- Unicode support: accepting UTF-8 Eiffel source file
Ports
- EiffelVision: Macintosh native support for COCOA
EiffelStudio 6.6 (15 May 2010)
UI
- Various improvements to the diagram tool
Compiler
- Initial support for QAT and once per object
- New check instruction
Libraries
- Default to the void-safe version of the library
EiffelStudio 6.5 (4th quarter 2009)
This version will not bring major new functionality. We aim at fixing all the inconveniences that people may have experienced with our previous releases.
Compiler
-
Added support for new loop construct to iterate over various containers
EiffelStudio 6.4 (2nd quarter 2009)
This version will not bring major new functionality. We aim at fixing all the inconveniences that people may have experienced with our previous releases.
Library
-
Making all libraries void safe -
Added new library for internationalization, diff and encoding -
EiffelNet with IPv6 support
Testing
-
Improved testing facilities
EiffelStudio 6.3 (4th quarter 2008)
Testing
-
Improved testing tool based on the CDD experiment -
Automatic testing of classes
Compiler
-
Proper semantics of feature replication and non-conforming inheritance. -
First implementation of void-safety.
EiffelStudio 6.2 (2nd quarter 2008)
UI
-
Contract Editor. -
More intellisense in the editor (snippet, ...)
Compiler
-
More on attached types and CAPs -
Exception as object
Documentation
-
Allow reference to external documentation from Eiffel code (external can be: wiki, PDF, Word documents, ...).
EiffelStudio 6.1 (4th quarter 2007)
UI
-
New Errors and Warnings tool
Compiler
-
Attached mechanism -
Non-conforming inheritance -

Various improvements
EiffelStudio 6.0 (2nd quarter 2007)

-
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 -
Customizable shortcuts
Compiler
-
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). -

Addition of binary and octal notation for manifest integers
Internal
-
Clean up delivery, names of tools, directory layout. -
Get rid of *.wb files and store this in the user settings.
EiffelStudio 5.7 (4th quarter 2006)
- This is the first open source version of EiffelStudio. Look at the release notes of 5.7 for more information.
