ECB 1.91.1 is released! ======================= Reminder:
The homepage of ECB has moved to http://ecb.sourceforge.net. The old homepage at http://home.swipnet.se/mayhem/ecb.html is not longer supported. How to get it: -------------- Sorry, it's too big to post the sources here... If you are using ECB >= 1.80 then you can just call "M-x ecb-download-ecb" if you are online. ECB will then download latest ECB (1.91.1) and install it for you. Or go to the homepage at http://ecb.sourceforge.net and download it from there. What's new: ----------- This is mostly a bugfix release which fixes some annoying bugs. Here are the entries of the HISTORY file: * Fixed a bug in the navigation-history of ECB which sometimes has prevented that a user can open files from the sources/history buffer or clicking onto tokens in the method-buffer. Now the back-forward-navigation works stable. * Fixes a bug in the speedbar integration which prevented clicking onto a directory in the speedbar: Always after clicking onto a directory speedbar has re-synced itself to the directory of the current source-buffer in the edit-window. This bug is fixed, now directory navigation in the speedbar works. * Fixes a bug in upgrading stored window-sizes from ECB 1.80 to ECB >= 1.90. Fixes also two bugs in `ecb-store-window-sizes' if default-values are used in `ecb-layout-window-sizes' or if ecb-windows have frame-height as height (resp. frame-width as width). * Fixed a bug in the downloading feature of ECB. * Enhanced the "downloading new packages" feature of ECB: Now ECB autom. checks at the download sites which versions are available. With the new option `ecb-download-package-version-type' you can define which types of version you allow to download (only stable, stable and betas or stable, betas and alphas); see related section in the online-manual! * New command `ecb-download-semantic' for easy getting latest semantic versions. Here are some of the new features of ECB beginning with version 1.90: * Fixed an annoying bug which results in an error "Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p nil)" after a full buffer reparse. ECB 1.80 has repaired its internal state but nevertheless the user had to reclick on the same token after this error to really jump to a token. With ECB 1.90 this bug has been gone. * Now ECB displays at every start a "Tip of the day" in a dialog-box. This can be switched off with option `ecb-tip-of-the-day'. * New feature: Now the methods buffer is auto. expanded if the node related to the current token in the edit-window is not visible (probably because its parent is collapsed). * New command `ecb-expand-methods-nodes' which allows precisely expanding tokens with a certain indentation-level. * Rewritten the mechanism for storing customized window-sizes. See option ecb-layout-window-sizes and the command ecb-store-window-sizes and ecb-restore-window-sizes. Now the sizes are always saved as fractions of the width (resp. height) of the ECB-frame, so the stored sizes are always correct regardless of the current frame-size. * Rewritten cache-mechanism for directories and sources: This results in a speed-boost for big-size directories. * Added a complete new section "The layout-engine of ECB" to the online-help which describes in detail how to program new layouts and new special windows. * Fixed some bugs concerning the eshell-integration. * Speedbar is now integrated in ECB and can be used instead of the standard ECB-directories buffer. * Naming and managing of layouts has been changed! Now a layout is not longer identified by an integer but by an arbitrary string! Example: The layout with index 0 in ECB <= 1.80 is now named "left1" in ECB 1.90. Therefore the name of the option 'ecb-layout-nr' has changed to 'ecb-layout-name'! See the docstring of 'ecb-layout-name' for the names of all buildin layouts. ECB autom. upgrades the old-option to the new one! * A lot of new hooks * Adding a new layout type "left-right" which allows the ECB-tree-windows to be located at the left and the right side of the ECB-frame. * Now ECB can be "autoloaded". * Now ECB offers a command `ecb-create-new-layout' for interactively creating new layouts "by example".
