:\Dev-Cpp.
Version 4.9.9.5 - 16 Juli 2011
w
-

Added column reporting for a few more error types.

Made a proper portable version this time: it comes in a 7zip file, saving a fe
more registry entries compared to 4.9.9.4's portable setup.
Dev-C++ now adds itself to Windows' "Programs and Features" list.

Version 4.9.9.4 - 12 Juli 2011

- Added a %path% macro to every path. Use this string in the config files to add
relative paths to Compiler Directories.
- Fixed a bug in the Code Completion Cache Creator (CCCC :D): it used to add two
copies of every file (one relatively referred to and one referred to with a ful

- Cleaned up the explicit -m(instruction set) options by removing outdated and u
nsupported ones. Added a couple of modern instructions
- Cleaned up the TODO viewer layout.
- Fixed a bug in the compiler error parser: it used to read 1 byte too much afer
the \0 of each error line, possibly causing crashes.
- Added a 'Column' column in the Compiler log.
- Tweaked the default settings, by enabling line numbers by default for example.
- Fixed a bug in the compiler set creator: it wasn't storing storing command lin
e options for each compiler.
- Added more UI controls for frequently used GCC flags like -Wall, -Wextra and pedantic.
- Moved warning related flag options to a new section called 'Code Warnings'.

- Removed the compiler optimization tree controls. Now has a proper None/Low/Med
/High combobox.
- Updated the default directory listings to GCC 4.5.2's directories.

* Compiler settings per-project
* Compiler set per-project
* Implemented new compiler settings framework
* "Compile as C++" per-unit

cause of many errors (although it should be fixed by now), we are giving the
user the option to disable this feature.
* New option in Editor Options (code-completion): Use code-completion cache.
Well, it adds caching to code-completion. Depending on the cache size,
the program may take a bit longer to start-up, but provides very fast

code-completion and the user has all the commands (belonging to the files
he added in the cache) at his fingertips. If, for example, the user adds
"windows.h", he gets all the WinAPI! If he adds "wx/wx.h", he gets all of
wxWindows! You get the picture...
* Removed "Only show classes from current file" option in class browser settings
.
It used to be a checkbox, allowing only two states (on or off), but there is
a third relevant option now: "Project classes" so it didn't fit the purpose...
The user can define this in the class browser's context menu under "View mode"
.
* Fixed the dreaded "Clock skew detected" compiler warning!

y
then we even get a stack trace in the bug report!
* Added new WebUpdate module (inactive temporarily).
* Added new code for code-completion caching of files (disabled - work in progre
ss).
Version 4.9.5.2
* Added new option in class-browser: Use colors
(available when right-clicking the class-browser
and selecting "View mode").

Version 4.9.5.1
* Implemented the "File/Export/Project to HTML" function.
* Added "Tip of the day" system.
* When running a source file in explorer, don't spawn new instance.
Instead open the file in an already launched Dev-C++.
* Class-parser speed-up (50% to 85% improvement timed!!!)
* Many code-completion updates. Now takes into account context,
class inheritance and visibility (shows items only from files
#included directly or indirectly)!
* Caching of result set of code-completion for speed-up.
* New option "Execution/Parameters" (and "Debug/Parameters").
Version 4.9.5.0 (5.0 beta 5):
