The Alpha2 testing has been already ended, so the BETA2 is ready for public download. There are still 2 important issues that will be missing (compared to version 0.8.17 b):
There will not be the color scheeme and font editor available on version 0.8.17 b, becouse it is being also rewritten to support the whole set of parsers available for version 0.9.x (that is XML, HTML, C, C++ and LUA). The list of available parsers will be increased on future releases. We're working on a INI parser and a VBScript parser with folding. All this parsers will require a BLIde Plus license.
Major changes on this version:
1.-Project Dependencies Tree: Single click on the project dependencies tree was selecting the clicked item, that was causing problems when a node in the tree was expanded.This has been solved to work in the same way it was working on version 0.8.17 b
2.- A new ultrafast mode is available. This mode disables folding, but enables the edition of very big sourcecode files at nearly 0 CPU cost.
3.-Parenthesis matching hilighting is also performed in this version
4.- LUA support is back there for all BLIde Plus users.
5.- There is a Lock window mechanism that prevents users to un-arrange the BLIde Layout by mistake
6.- The file being edited is automatically chosen in the local shortcuts tree to make navigation throug source code easier.
7.- Additionaly C++, C, XML and HTML hilighting is enabled on this BLIde BETA
8.- There is a new Window menu, with a list of all the opened documents (selectable) and some visualization options, like 'new horizontal tab group' or 'new vertical tab group' like in visual studio 2005. There is also an 'auto hide all windows' mechanism.
9.- The preferences dialog is working again, with the new parser
10.- Also the default welcome page has been redesigned to a more simple and IMHO better looking way. It also loads the news channel a lot faster making all the website access and download in a separated thread to 'fake' it is instant.
11.- There has been also a major update on the wizards, updating the wizard control to a new underlaying system that (in further versions) will conform the Vista Wizard specification. Now BLIde conforms the Wizard 97 specification by Microsoft. Also, all the drawings in the wizard control, have been updated to work with the GDI+ architecture, so they look a little better.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO BLIDE PLUS USERS:
This version has a new security system for the BLIde Plus recognition and activation, so any BLIde Plus user that wish to test the BLIde Plus features in this beta, will have to send an email to get a new speciffic activation username and password for version 0.9.x.
