New BLIde BETA available for everyone

A new BETA version of BLIde is available for everyone.
for newcomers, BLIde is a powerful IDE for BlitzMax, for windows.

Free edition users can get the beta here:
http://www.blide.org/?section=getfree

BLIde Plus beta version can be downloaded from here:
http://www.blide.org/plus
(Blide plus autentication requiered)

The list of changes (specially for free edition users) is very big, so I won't put a never-ending list here. If you wish to beta-test it, just go ahead and provide feedback in order for me to fix any possible issue.

New features are not yet documented, this will be done soon on the RC or production release.

Hope you find it usefull.

Slight problem; The free version - 0.9.74A is telling me that 0.9.74B is available. When I let it take me to the download page, 0.9.74B is nowhere to be found.

Just about to try this new version out and looking forward to it. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Can I just ask if you ever plan to include a Framework Assitant like tool into the actual IDE? I know that it can be added as a seperate addon but it would be nice to have a similar tool already included.

Anyway, off to download now :)

Jason.

Just having a play with 0.9.74A with the new unmanaged solutions... looking great so far. much much better!

thanks! don't forget to report all the issues you find!!!

Just bought it; where can I find my password to download the latest version?

Cool. I'll probably be buying a couple of versions of this soon. Guess I should test out the trial version first.

@Gfk: Just emailed to you (I think)

Yep, got it, but it says wrong username or password? I'm using my email address and the registration code from the email.

[edit] never mind, its working now. :)

No. I'm still very bussy with the BLIde SDK system, that is receiving very big improvements -the last one, is the total integration with visual studio, so you can make plugins for BLIde directly using C#, not yet documented as it is being heavy tested-.
Making a tool like this one, once the SDK is more developed, should be a relativelly easy task for any user. I just think it is too early now. current BETA SDK (in the 0.9.74 A) integrates the first access to the keywords stored in the BLIde internal intellisense system, so you can see in wich module a speciffic function was declared, etc... So part of the work is already done there.

@Gfk: Solved.

Loving the new unmanaged solutions! Dead easy to use and feels like *I* have control now.

I like that you removed some of the nag message boxes.
I still think you should add file-dragging support (drag source code onto BLIde and it opens it).

Seconded. I find myself using standard IDE because I don't like to use open file dialogs. I prefer dragging files from folders.

Just put a shortcut to BLIde in your "Send To" directory, then you can right click a file and send it to BLIde.

With the "Reopen applications and tabs" option on, BLIde does not re-open any files I previously had open.
However, it does open the help page, which it should not be doing, because I did not have it open previously.
