ECB 1.92 is released! ===================== Reminder: The homepage of ECB has moved to http://ecb.sourceforge.net <http://ecb.sourceforge.net> . The old homepage at http://home.swipnet.se/mayhem/ecb.html <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 (1.92) and install it for you. Or go to the homepage at http://ecb.sourceforge.net <http://ecb.sourceforge.net> and download it from there. What's new in 1.92: ------------------- This release fixes some small bugs and introduces some new features for layout-handling. Here are the entries of the NEWS (was HISTORY) file: ** Fixed bugs: *** Fixed small bugs in the popup-menu of the history-buffer. *** Fixed some not working links in the FAQ. ** ECB now includes a file "ecb-autoloads.el" which contains all available autoloads of ECB. Therefore loading this file is enough. ** Enhancements to the layout *** The sizes of the ecb-windows can be fixed even during frame-resizing This new feature is only available with GNU Emacs 21.X. See new option `ecb-fix-window-size'. Suggested by Gunther Ohrner <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > *** The command `ecb-store-window-sizes' can now also store fixed sizes. If called with a prefix arg then fixed sizes are stored instead of fractions of frame-width resp. -height. *** The command `split-window' is now also adviced to work properly. ** Enhancements for the tree-buffers *** "Create Source" in the popup-menues now work also for non-java-files. *** ecb-truncate-lines can now be set different for each ECB-tree-buffer. *** Easy horizontal mouse-scrolling of the ECB tree-buffers. See new option `ecb-tree-easy-hor-scroll'. ** Added a command `ecb-jde-display-class-at-point' which displays the contents of the java-class under point in the methods-buffer of ECB. ** Renamed previous HISTORY file to NEWS and reformate it for outline-mode. 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".
