CodeLite IDE

codelite 2.8.0 - Change Log
===========================

- Fixed: Linux: syntax highlight were not saved between sessions
- UI changes to the Find In Files dialog
- New: codelite's 'Find In Files' now supports the following options:
- Skip matches find inside C/C++ comments
- Skip matches find inside C/C++ strings
- Fixed: BUG#3046616. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=de ... tid=979960 for more details
- bugfixes: 3059716
- Applied fixes to fix 2.9 compliation
- Changed: Editor Preferences -> C++ -> Doxygen: by default use '@' for doxy comments
- code completion: scope resolver now ignores extra tokens before the actual class name (.e.g class EXPORT MyClass {...}, class __declspec(dllimport) TheClass {...} etc)
- avoid auto hiding when clicking inside an editor if build is in progress
- try to load menu.xrc from user personal profile before loading the default menu file
- bugfixes: 3060237
- Subversion: fixed: dont use --non-interative for 'Resovle' command
- 'Find In Files': Added new option to allow colouring matches found in C/C++ comments with the C++ comment style (i.e. matches found in comments will be colored with green). The colour is taken from the C++ syntax highligh definition.
- Implemented: FR#3060169. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=979963 for more details
- Implemented FR#3059790 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=d ... tid=979963
- Fixed: before opening a 'console' terminal, codelite will apply the active environment set so the new console will inherit them
- New: added new option to the editor's context menu: 'Serach -> Find References...' this functionality performs exactly as the 'Refactoring -> Rename Symbol', however it only displays the matches in a new output tab window (rather then performing the replacement ofc). It also displays only definite matches.
- Added new option 'Show Debug tab when debugging' to 'Global Editor Preferences -> Docking Windows' (patch by Rick C. Hodgin)
- Implemented: FR#3061156. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=979963 for more details
- Applied patch to prevent the editor to reposition itself to the active debugging line when editing/adding watches in the debugger pane (by Rick C. Hodgin)
- reverted a regression in the debugger, as described here: http://codelite.org/forum/viewtopic.php ... 4955#p4955
- codelite no longer uses the 'Untitled' as a reserved prefix for new documents (i.e. Untitled is now a valid document name
- Fixed: double clicking an item in the 'Locals' view will use the 'PreDefined' types where possible
- When closing an 'Untitled' modified document, codelite will no longer prompt to save changes
- New: Debugger: added the ability to define multiple 'PreDefined Types' tables, this will allow the user to select the set that suits him. (it is handy in environments that uses multiple versions of the same libraries but with different versions and implementation). A good example is that this feature can now enable user to switch between PreDefined types for wxWidgets28 and wxWidgets29 (the wxString type internals has been changed between those 2 versions)
- Fixed: assertion when opening files under Linux in debug build
- dont auto-hdie the build pane incase build was interupted
- Fixed: (regression) codelite now remembers the last open tab (DacidGH)
- Fixed: when loading a workspace, temporarily disable the 'link to editor' button (DavidGH)
- Fixed: temporary breakpoints persistency (DavidGH)
- Fixed: clicking inside the editor while the option to hide the ouptut pane when the editor gains the focus is ON, the caret position is remained where it should be
- Applied patch to allow user to center the caret in the editor to the middle line (Rick C. Hodgin)
- Implemented: Request to add "Copy Filename to Clipboard"
- Implemented: FR#3068270. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=979963 for more details
- added a test to examine whether a file can be retagged or not (based on the the first 4K bytes)
- code completion: don't display empty tooltips
- Fixed: BUG#3057980. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=de ... tid=979960 for more details

- Fixed memory leak in SymbolView plugin (DavidGH)
- Dont trim caret line: Implemented: FR#3077982. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=979963 for more details
- Added support for fortran lexer (user needs to reload default lexer settings to see the new change from: settings -> synatx highligh and font -> click the 'Defaults' button) - Justin Albers
- Fixed assertion when opening a file when codelite is built in debug mode
- NEW: Applied patch to auto-display code completion box base on typed characters (patch by nemesis)
- Fixed: 'Open include file' works for file with upper-lower case characters
- modified the 'tags settings' dialog UI layout
- NEW: code completion: make the single choice insert a parameter (when a single choice is found, user can set whether codelite should insert it automatically, or display the completion box with a single entry) (patch by nemssis)
- Fix various assertions under wx29 (DavidGH)
- Removed unused code (DavidGH)
- Fixed: under linux, detect that a socket has been closed properly

- Debugger: added new option to the 'Watches' context menu to allow users to the change the display format per item in the tree

- NEW: Debugger: added 'Type' column to the Locals/Watches view
- Fixed: incremental search always makes sure that the match is visible even within folded code
- Fixed: assertion in 'Go To' line number when built against wx29
- New: When creating a new file using the dialog that suggests to create new file when the 'Swap Header / Impl' fails, codelite will place the new created file adjacent to its sibling

- Implemented: FR#3098027. See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=979963 for more details
- Rename Symbol: make it more user friendly: alert if the new name is similar to the current one, display status message, restore last edited file/line, gather all editing (per editor) in a 'BeginUndo' EndUndo calls (DavidGH)
- Debugger: changed the way gdb passes arguments to the debugee
- Removed un-needed 'Reparent' call done in Notebook control (DavidGH)
