lazarus (0.9.30-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release many fixes and new features. - The detailed list of changes can be found here: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_0.9.30_release_notes * LCL changes: - Windows CE: support for clipboard and keypad devices - GTK2 and GTK1 interfaces are now separated. - GTK1 is no longer maintained by Lazarus team, but patches are accepted. - fpGUI: LCL interface now supports all components on the standard page. - QT support for Haiku - Layout and autosizing is now more consistent across widgetsets, overhead was reduced, improved cross platform layouts and complex forms. - Added gif reader - TLazIntfImage: New function AlphaBlend, which can alpha blend an intfimage into another, using a separate intfimage as the alpha channel. - Unit chart and its component TBarChar are deprecated in favor of new package TAChartLazarusPkg. * IDE: - Support of FPC resources: {$R *.lfm} instead of {$i unit1.lrs}. - The Delphi converter has improved a lot. - Build modes, build macros and conditionals now allows different sets of compiler options for projects and packages. - Editor improvements: + Hiding (Folding) of comments in Pascal source. + Allow Multiple Source-Editor Windows + Allow several Views of the same Source + User-defined color-schemes. + Identifier-completion pop-up is now resizable - Project compiler options can now be saved as default for new projects. - When opening a project only those forms are opened that were open when project was closed. - Various designer usability improvements: + arrow and tab keys switching between components + resize/move cancellation using ESC key + save/restore of the form window state in the project session + skip snapping when Alt key is pressed - When creating a new project the default unit output directory is now lib/$(TargetCPU)-$(TargetOS). Target file name is project1. This has no impact on old projects. - IDE now preserves the line endings of source files (it uses the line ending of the first line, it does not preserve mixed line endings). - You can now quickly switch between several versions / branches of packages by defining the preferred package file name for each dependency. - You can now use the IDE directive %H- to hide individual hints, notes and warnings. - The IDE can be made dockable. Install either the package AnchorDockingDsgn or EasyDockMgrDsgn. - The ToDo list was moved to a separate package: todolistlaz.lpk. - Czech translation added * Debugger / Editor: - Inserted/Deleted lines during a debug session are now tracked. Breakpoints and Execution-line are adjusted. - Step out command implementation (by Flavio) - Show execution point command - Single Instruction step (over/into) - UI Improvements: Toolbars for Watches, Breakpoints, Disassembler - Watches: Enabled display formats (mem-dump, Hex, Default, ..) - Disassembler added navigation: jump to address / return to execution point - Improved reaction speed: It is possible to continue stepping without having to wait for all watches, locals, ... to be evaluated * Components: - IDE got some options to become easier for students and pupils and there is a new package EducationLaz adding options to hide complex parts of the IDE - New AggPas (Anti Grain Geometry for Object Pascal) package, now supporting FPImage and LCL. AggPas highlights: Subpixel rendering, 8-bit alpha channel, paths, platform independent rendering using pure pascal - TAChart update, including: stacked and rotated series, 3 new types of series, axis transformations, interactive tools, 6 new demos and other improvements * Added metapackges in order to ease upgrading and fixed dependcy rules. (Closes: Bug#620108) * Test for dh_input exit status 30 as this is a normal exit status which just informs that the question was not displayed because of its priority. -- Abou Al Montacir <email address hidden> Fri, 05 Apr 2011 19:20:00 +0200
