codelite 2.0.3365 is released

Post by eranif »

Hi All,

codelite 2.0 (build 3365) is officially released.

This release is a major release which introduces many major changes improvements in various areas of codelite:
- Windows packages now includes GCC4.4.0 + GDB7.0 and optionally wxWidgets2.8.10 compiled with GCC4.4.0
- Code Compeltion - 'External Symbols' is no longer needed, CC is faster and smarter
- Debugger - Major parts of the debugger plugin have been re-written to provide one of the best GDB front end available
- UI: the traditional 'Output Pane' has been replaced with a slicker look
- UI: use the 'Finder' to locate various resources/classes/structs in the workspace from a single search bar
- Local Preferences - set preferences per workspace / project
- Build System: use pre-compiled headers in your code to reduce compilation time
- Build System: add N regular expressions to allow codelite to detect more errors (e.g. link errors)
- New Welcome Page
- Many bug fixes

The complete change log (minus non interesting commit logs):
- Fixed crash: Remove Virtual Directory hangs on "" BUG#2847625
- cppcheck tab now uses larger font on Mac

- CppCheck: closing workspace will now clear the view
- Debugger: hitting ENTER in the memory pane address text field, will now re-evaluate the expression

- Renamed the 'Settings -> Editor' menu entry to 'Settings -> Global Editor Preferences' (dialog title was modified as well)
- Wrapped the managed build commands with the platform shell, this was done to allow running several commands with the '&&' operand. As a result, codelite now runs the 'PreBuild', 'PrePreBuild' and the actual command each on different command this assures us that the pre-build commands are running and completed *before* the build started even when using multi-core (-jX) option of the GNU Make

- removed line numbers from Debugger tab
- Fixed configure so it will no longer allow plugins to incude files from LiteEditor directory
- Build System: Added support for pre-compiled header from the 'Compiler' tab in the project settings. Simply set the name of the pre-compiled header and codelite will do the
rest

Great job man

this IDE (in release 2.0) has basically all the features I was looking for, and is sooo lightweight!
Jut give me the time to understand how the SVN plugin works...

You need to install the svn command line tool

Right click on your project and select the Svn menu option

OR

From the 'Explorer' tab, right click on any folder and select 'Svn' menu option.

There are more options from the 'Explorer' context menu than the 'Workspace' tree because of the nature of the SVN which works on directories (which fits perfectly to the 'Explorer' tab)

Good work.

Wondering when the next release will be out. I am quite excited to move to codelite from C::B, but until this bug fix is rolled in, I will have to wait.

Thanks.

codelite release cycle is about a month from each release - so I am aiming to release at around middle of December (a week + from now)
