Codeweaver Final Released!

[Sam Bacsa]

NOTICE: Updated 02/07/2007!

- Fixed crash on adding new files
- Fixed several plugin problems
- Added auto-updater


(Previous Post: Initial release ----)



After more than a year with no updates, the final version of Codeweaver is now available.

The most significant updates in this release include the fixes to a number of major bugs, including the highlight-and-search crash bug, focus bug when doing find/replace, syntax checker tripping up over return statements, and much more.

Here are some more highlights:



Files that have been modified now display this yellow "information bar", IE style, instead of popping up a dozen Yes/No message boxes.




Closed workspace windows can now be re-opened via this Workspace menu.  Custom workspace windows added via the SDK will also be enumerated here.




Assigning menu shortcuts is much more intuitive with this new assignment interface.




Context menu has been "iconified" and works much better than the previous version.




Declarations have changed from //__decl format to this new format: //# DECLARE %variable AS object.  This can still be automatically inserted via the F4 menu.





File templates for creating new files are now available.  They're nicely categorized too... just add whatever you want to the \file_templates folder, and it will appear in the list.  The first line of the file must be ####Template name####Template description####Template group.  The extension of the file is what CW uses to determine the icon it gets, and the default extension appearing in the save dialog.


Here's a more extensive changelog:

- TGB support added
- Plugin architecture complete
- Files can now be opened without having them added to the project
- Added file templates for new files.  They're located in the file_templates folder of the install directory.
- "Snipetter" has been removed
- Menu shortcut assignment now more intuitive
- Fixed internal web browser issues
- Find / Replace window now focuses properly
- Search in project no longer crashes due to non-existent line
- Adjusted declaration format: // #DECLARE %variable AS class
- One-click debug wizard no longer crashes under certain circumstances
- Ctrl+Tab now keeps focus on editor
- Highlighting and trying to use Find / Replace no longer crashes the program
- Syntax checker now properly recognizes return %var @ %var and its variants
- Added "Clear All Bookmarks"
- Rescan Project no longer improperly nests your project
- Hidden directories no longer added to project
- Configuration now unique to each particular user
- Removed EULA popup dialog on first run
- Removed mandatory "activtation" when running installer
- Closed workspace windows can now be reopened from the Window menu.
- Modified files are now indicated by a yellow information bar with options, instead of poping up a dozen dialog boxes.
- Fixed several small bugs and performance problems


The latest version can be downloaded here!  Enjoy!


SDK Information - Sample project coming soon.  If you want to get started in the meantime, create a new .Net class library project, reference PluginRes.dll, and create a class that inherits from ICodeweaverPlugin.  Moving it to the \Plugins directory with a filename starting with tdp_ will have it load up on startup.

I'm getting this :

I'm on Windows XP SP2 with .net framework 2.0 installed, and the Delta 7 worked like a charm everyday.

And it seems like you deleted the download option for delta 7, so I can revert back to a working version :/

[Benjamin Grauer]

hum, I tried another link to get back manually delta7 by typing http://www.torquedev.com/tdev_delta7.zip

I found out that the .zip wasn't containing the delta7, but something that works a little more better than the rtm download. But... it keeps asking me to agree to the EULA each time I start it, with a 30 sec wait or so for the EULA text to show :/

Hi Ben,

The EULA problem is indicative of you (or CW) not having permissions to edit the files in the directory.  D7 stores its configuration file in the install folder.

The license error is the same problem.  Please make sure you and the program have access to write to the directory.

Take care,
Sam

Right... but I'm already logged as admin on my computer, so logically I have those rights.

Sorry but I don't quite understand what I would must do, codeweaver simply install itself and then doesn't work, that's all, and I don't have any specific restriction on my computer.

Hey Benjamin,

If you run the updater (located in the CW folder, called CWUpdater.exe), it will download the latest version.  This one should give you better feedback when there's an issue.

You can also enable debug mode (once you've updated it) by running the IDE with the parameter --debug-mode.  If you can send me the debug output file (located in \debug_logs) via e-mail, I may be able to diagnose the issue better.

Take care,
Sam
