Version 6.5.8.1483 of EiffelStudio
Release Notes: This is the release candidate for EiffelStudio 6.5. This version adds compiler support for the new loop construct, although no library support has been added yet. Numerous compiler bugs have been fixed: proper handling of attached type in conversions, a compile time catcall checker crash, creation of manifest arrays in void-safe mode triggering a violation, full type checking issues, proper code generation for `{ANY}.generating_type' in experimental mode under .NET, and proper retrieval of SPECIAL objects in experimental mode. Some issues with the saving/restoring of EiffelStudio layout were fixed.
Other releases
Release Notes: This release contains major improvements in the areas of concurrency (via the SCOOP technology) and void-safety by making it easier to migrate to void-safe code. In addition, it has many small improvements to make EiffelStudio easy to use includes more and more external contributions.
Release Notes: Various bugfixes. This release improves the void-safety implementation and addresses some bugs. It has an improved SCOOP implementation that is much faster than in 6.8.
Release Notes: This release candidate for EiffelStudio 6.8 which includes the following new features: SCOOP (Simple Concurrent Object-Oriented Programming technology), the ability to attach a running process to the EiffelStudio debugger, an improved EiffelStore library and MySQL handle, and various compiler and EiffelStudio bugfixes.
Release Notes: Some SCOOP-related issues have been fixed. An issue on some Unix systems with not being able to delete a directory containing symbolic links that cannot be resolved was also fixed. The drawing of the tree connector in EV_GRID was fixed.
Release Notes: This is the first beta release of EiffelStudio 6.8. This brings support for SCOOP (Simple Concurrent Object-Oriented Programming) for Windows and Linux platforms; support for other platforms will follow. The current implementation is only for frozen and melted code; finalization support will come soon. Various refresh and resizing issues have been fixed in EiffelVision for Windows. Graphical libraries have been improved to accept IMMUTABLE_STRING_XX as input without having to perform a conversion. Support has been added for OpenBSD on 64-bit platforms. Various compiler bugs were fixed.
