Updates in 2011

64-bit Versions for Windows and Linux
Native 64-bit versions of SlickEdit are now available for Windows and Linux. These allow you to run on 64-bit platforms without the use of 32-bit libraries. SlickEdit still retains the 2 gigabyte file size limit
Support for the Git Version Control System
Added support for the Git version control system. The basic operations supported are: add, remove, commit, revert, push, and pull. SlickEdit have also built a basic status tree showing the result of comparing the workspace to the repository
Updated Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Support
This includes the following changes:
- Improved workspace and project folder handling
- Added ability to read project property sheets
- Improved support for project dependencies
Multithreading
Parts of SlickEdit 2011 have been re-engineered to be multithreaded. This makes better use of available CPU resources and reduces the waiting time for affected operations
Auto-Reload Performed on a Thread
Auto-reload now uses a thread to access files, preventing SlickEdit from hanging due to unavailable resources. Auto-reload is still performed when you switch applications. A future modification may involve periodically checking for modified files, but that has not yet been implemented
Updated JUnit Support
The JUnit support was updated to support version 4.6 and later. Earlier versions are not supported
Support for Ruby Debugging
Dynamic Debugger Enhancements
This includes the following changes:
- Added support for Python 3
- Corrected display of Python special values: True, False, and None
- Added a column to display the Value Type
- Added the capability to change values while debugging
- Improved the display of Perl values. Previously, all values were displayed as scalars
