Graphical environment
What's new
- New default layout for EiffelStudio tools to highlight the most common used tools whereas other tools are still available at the bottom or via the View menu.
- New Errors and Warnings tool. It replaces the former Errors tool and Warnings tool and provides a nicer way to show errors and filtering them.
- Revisited all the dialogs to provide a nicer and consistent look and feel.
- Multiple errors are reported for each compilation degree.
Improvements
- Use the default OS font for displaying tooltips.
- C compilation failure will now show up as an error in the new Errors and Warnings tool.
- Completion list will now show immediately after pressing '.' when the completion list is active.
- Added ability to submit a problem report within EiffelStudio when it quits unexpectedly.
Changes
- Support for the MinGW C compiler on Windows 32-bit. Borland is officially not supported anymore.
- Completion list no longer shows obsolete items by default (set via a preference option).
