Time for an update then. The biggest addition is the updated rightclick menu of the editor, which features a variable browser. Also, the guys at MinGW have ported a newer branch of GCC, so I've added it to Dev.
Changes - Version 5.0.0.4 - 25 September 2011
- Upgraded the compiler to GCC 4.6.1.
- The main tab control now has the optional (check Environment options) ability to spread tabs over multiple lines.
- Added Goto Declaration and Goto Definition buttonsto the editor right click menu. These buttons make code navigation much easier.
- The old code for Ctrl+Click now uses the new code for the buttons and uses two-way navigation.
- Added Profiling to the Compiler toolbar.
- Removed the useless About/Help toolbar.
- The splash screen now shows what Dev is currently loading.
- Code Completion Cache can now also be browsed through.
- Added icons for profiling options and added them to the compiling toolbar.
- Updated the Incremental Search window: it now has a previous and next button.
- Corrected a few regression bugs in the class scanner.
- Fixed a bug in the tooltip content generator.
- And much more minor stuff...
Important notices
- The options format has changed. If you want to reuse an old pre-4.9.9.3 config file (NOT recommended), or, more importantly, when you're overriding Compiler Options in your project, you need to re-set these project settings once and save the project. You'll then have an updated 4.9.9.3+ project file.
- This version has GCC built-in instead of being an aditional package. It also contains D3D9/10/11, GDI, Win32 and OpenGL headers and libraries in that flavor.
- This version is now fully portable. If you also don't want Dev to leave anything behind in the registry, please select "Portable" or "Minimal" in the setup options.
- For ultimate portable programming, please launch devcppPortable.exe located in the main folder of the portable zip download. This will make dev save its configuration files in the same folder as the executable.
- TODO: Implement C++0x suggestions by Xazax.
- TODO: Fix the ParentID bug in the tooltip and goto menu items.
- FIXED: Fix the bug reported by Anonymous (first comment on 4.9.9.8).
This one addresses a few issues with the portable version regarding shortcuts. It also fixes an unsigned negative range error and more in the code tooltip generator.
Changes - Version 5.0.0.3 - 8 September 2011
- Rewritten and reorganized the Profile Analysis code.
- Added an option to delete Profiling Information which detects by itself if it can be executed.
- Corrected a few errors in the GCC profiling flag generation code.
- Doubled the stack limits.
- Improved Tab handling.
- Fixed a memory leak in the Compiling form.
- Restyled the Configure Tools window.
- Remade the Help File. It now uses HTML Help (.chm) instead of WinHelp, which was removed from Vista and newer Windows OS's.
- Help File couplings now directly take you to the help content of the currently open window.
- Added optional automatic brace closing to the Editor Options.
- Added an options tab to the Profiler.
- Rewritten the GPROF output reader.
- Removed any references to the flaky Help Item Customizer.
- Added support for 'other' file counting in the Project Options window.
- Resolved a few bugs that caused debugging and profiling options to not be saved.
- Well, I've probably editted more stuff, but I can't recall.
