[[Property:title|Release notes for EiffelStudio 7.3]] [[Property:link_title|7.3]] [[Property:weight|10]] [[Property:uuid|8fd95935-df4c-22f6-56d3-b3ea559d0342]] ==Graphical environment== ===What's new=== * A [[change analysis]] for documents in the [[Eiffel Information System]] where one can be notified of which documents to update when a class is modified, and conversely whenever a document is modified which classes might need updating. * EiffelStudio will now show you the contracts of a feature when completing code, letting you quickly find out the proper way to call it. * When debugging, moving the mouse pointer over an expression will cause the debugger to evaluate the expression and display its computation result in a tooltip. ===Improvements=== * Used void-safety settings of a target to list libraries that are compatible with it and provided more details on their void-safety status in the dialog for adding libraries. ===Changes=== * In [[AutoTest]], tests will be executed under the location of the Eiffel configuration file (ECF) and not in the Testing subdirectory of the EIFGENs directory. ===Bug fixes=== * Fixed a memory corruption that would occur when you have multiple errors during a compilation and you are opening each error in its own tab editor: after opening 4 or 5 tabs, EiffelStudio could become unstable. * Fixed a crash after saving a diagram as a PNG file. ==Compiler== * Click [[Major changes between ISE Eiffel 7.2 and ISE Eiffel 7.3|here]] for the compiler release notes. ==Debugger== ===Graphical environment=== * Added ability to evaluate expressions by simply hovering over the feature tool while debugging. ==EiffelBuild== * Click [[EiffelBuild Version History|here]] for the EiffelBuild release notes. ==Libraries== ===EiffelBase=== * Updated TUPLE and depending classes to separate entities. * Updated ROUTINE and descendants to be usable for agents with separate targets. * Fixed a comparison bug with EQUALITY_TUPLE which actually would only compare the last elements. * Made INTERNAL obsolete. It is now replaced by two sets of classes: a static introspection class and a dynamic one. The class that lets you examine the static content is REFLECTOR; most references to INTERNAL can easily be replaced by REFLECTOR. To inspect objects, you have a new set of classes starting with REFLECTED_OBJECT. This lets you inspect objects with copy semantics without actually causing a copy each time you access it, unlike what was happening before with INTERNAL. * Fixed a reallocation bug in SED_MEMORY_READER_WRITER where if you retrieve a large chunk, we would not allocate enough memory. * Added ability to store/retrieve expanded objects and objects with copy semantics with SED. * Storables made using SED from version 6.6 or earlier of EiffelStudio not using the `is_for_fast_retrieval` setting won't be recoverable. ===EiffelStore=== * Do not remove trailing spaces for string content. * Changed the type mapping for string objects to varchar instead of char at table allocation for ODBC. ===EiffelVision2=== * [[Revisions and Bug Fixes|Click here for EiffelVision2 release notes.]] ===WEL=== * Fixed a 64-bit truncation bug in the message dispatcher of WEL. * Fixed a memory corruption that would occur when loading a 32-bit BMP image as a background image of a container in a 16-bit or lower display. * Fixed an issue with WEL_CHOOSE_FOLDER_DIALOG where set_starting_path had no effect.
