v7.80 中的更新

特性

Several important components were rewritten to provide more features and better performance:

• Visual designer properties grid.
• Visual designer views tree.
• Modules tree (new component).
• Files tree.

The major improvements are:

• Code modules can be loaded from other folders and can be easily shared between projects (including projects targeting other platforms).
• Modules and file tree support grouping.
• Modules are monitored for external changes.
• Files tree shows the files icons and allows opening the files with external editors.
• Modules, files and views can be renamed directly from the relevant tree.
• Full support for drag and dropping files and modules, including support for dragging multiple items.
• B4A services and activities can be shared with B4J.
• New options when adding modules:
  • Copy to folder: Copies the module to the project folder (same as the current behavior).
  • Link - relative path: Adds a link to the module with a relative path. Useful when the folder is under or close to the project folder.
  • Link - absolute path: Adds a link to the module with an absolute path.
• Deleted files are moved to the recycle bin.
• Properties grid and views tree can be filtered.
• Properties grid is much faster and includes new types of editors.
• B4A SDK Manager is included in the IDE.
• Support for downloading maven resources from Google online repositories. This is an important improvement as Google no longer updates the offline repositories.
• Java 9 is supported.
• WebView.ZoomEnabled hides or shows the zoom controls.
• Better error handling in CallSub calls.
• Fix for potential race condition in AsyncStreams.
• Better handling of edge cases where the Activity life cycle events are called multiple times.
• CallSubDelayed doesn't raise an error if the target sub is missing. This makes it safer to use CallSubDelayed for raising events,
• Better support for version control. Files are only written when the contents are actually changed.
• The modules internal attributes are sorted in lexicographical order to reduce random changes.
• XUI library is now an internal library.
• Debugger hover window is resizable.
• Add New Modules / Existing modules menu items in modules tree.
• Code editor color picker is based on the designer color picker.
• Open file with default program in Files tree. Also works with double click.
• Support for opening multiple files at once.
• Better handling of locked files.
• Manifest editor replacements are applied to resources created with CreateResource.
