ProjectCenter 0.6.2 released

Version 0.6.2 of ProjectCenter, GNUstep's IDE (together with GORM), is out!

For more information and to download it, check the GNUstep website:
http://www.gnustep.org/experience/ProjectCenter.html

What's new?

• Better compiler output parser, which includes fatal error
• Compiler parser extended beyond gcc, like egcs and clang now get reasonable output
• GoTo Line panel rewritten, works and can be extended in other editor plugins (like Gemas)
• Find Panel fixes to work in detached editors, use of the standard find pabel
• Crash fixes in the editor
• Crash fixes in the highlighter
• usage on Windows improvements
• 64Bit fixes
• Updated to current GNUstep drag operation (you need this release to work on current GNUstep)
• some NetBSD/OpenBSD/FreeBSD support fixes (warnings et al.)

ProjectCenter build parser fixes

Debugging build tools...

I was long plagued GNUstep's IDE ProjectCenter had problems with parsing the compiler's output. This made "clicking" on the warning or error often impossible. I never dug into the details, but it happened more and more often and was worse on different systems than others.

Yesterday, while working on another projects I got so annoyed that I debug until deep into the night to fix them and found two different sources:

• On all OS recent versions of gcc (gcc 4.x) have a "fatal error" that was not being correctly parsed and assimilated to an error
• OpenBSD was using egcc and this was causing the build files not to be recognized, so the error was parsed, but opening the correct editor was impossible

I fixed both! Using modern gcc is thus now fine as using OpenBSD that works now like Linux. GNUstep's cross-platform support thus continues!

Happy hacking.

ProjectCenter 0.6.0

ProjectCenter, GNUstep's IDE, equivalent of ProjectBuilder / XCode was released in version 0.6.0.

• New project format, bundle-based, user information is separated from project information: this makes collaboration of different people easier with CVS/SVN/etc
• Editor undo support
• Support for setting the project Installation domain
• Improved gnustep-make 2.x support in both the project itself as in the project generation
• integrated debugger
• first integration between ProjectCenter and Gorm regarding
• improved usage and run on Windows
• uncountable bug fixes (in syntax highlighting, detachable editors, portability...)
  

Happy coding!

ProjectCenter has now Undo

I made a second attempt in implementing Undo support for ProjectCenter (GNUstep's IDE) I was much more successful thanks to Wolfgang's suggestions.

ProjectCenter now supports Undo in the Editor, both if it is docked inside the project window or if it is standalone. A few rough edges remain, but it appears to be functional and usable.

Finally! A small feature I was missing since a long time.
