Dev-C++ 5.6.2 released

Time for more fixes for the 5.6.x series.

Changes - Version 5.6.2 - 16 Maart 2014
  • Updated Japanese language files.
  • Templates can now now not set the built in compiler settings anymore when creating a project. Instead, compiler settings are set by the current compiler profile.
  • Fixed checkboxes in Tools >> Editor Options >> Completion >> Symbol Completion being unchecked instead of disabled/greyed when "Enable symbol completion" is changed.
  • Added some margin above the progress bar at Tools >> Editor Options >> Completion >> Code Completion.
  • When the Consolas font is unavailable, Dev-C++ will now try to use Courier New as the editor font instead of the alphabetically first font.
  • Fixed an undo bug in Move Selection Up/Down.
  • Fixed a bug that cut off toolbars around 800 pixels on 1024 pixel wide resolutions.
  • One can now change the shortcut for code completion in Tools >> Configure Shortcuts.
  • Fixed an out of bounds error in TCppParser when parsing incorrect code.
  • Fixed a formatting error when printing structs inside struct in the Debug watch variable tree.
  • Increased performance of the GDB interface.
  • Hopefully fixed the infamous "Thread Error" exceptions.

Choosing between 32bit and 64bit
  • The 64bit compiler will fully work op 32bit systems.
  • The 64bit compiler can create 64bit and 32bit executables and DLLs.
  • The 64bit compiler currently provides much more headers and libraries.
  • The 32bit compiler can only create 32bit executables and DLLs.
