So, it sounds like outside of USB debugging support (which will mainly
benefit hardware developers because most developers probably use POSE),
there isn't any new features in R7. (I don't consider an improved "find" a
feature, just catching up with the more mature editors). $190 for bug fixes
that should have been in R6 (or is that R5, because I remember the same
upgrade scam being pulled from R5 to R6). Here we go again.

>From a previous posting over on the massena forum:
I've been beta testing it [CWPalm7], and it is a huge improvement for
Windows
users. I'm not as sure for Mac-based programmers.
1) The IDE is the new 4.1 version introduced in CW Pro 6. On Windows, this
IDE has had much of its code written to be Win32-native rather than run on
MacOS compatability libraries. The new find functionality is great, and I
love rectangle selection cut-and-paste.
2) The debugger is much, much better. Bitfield bugs are fixed, and
communication with POSE is better. Plus, it now supports USB debugging to
Handspring devices.
3) The C++ compiler has caught a few more errors, and the code quality is
better, although not dramatically.
