Other B4A v6.30 has been released!

[Erel]

I'm happy to release B4A v6.30.

There are many IDE related improvements in this update.

• The docking and layout features are based on a new and improved framework. Floating code editors behave as regular windows.
• Documentation tool tips while hovering over code elements:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Copy links in the tool tips that allow copying code examples.
• Support for bookmarks:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• New themes.
• URLs in comments and strings are ctrl-clickable.
• Class and module level documentation (taken from Process_Globals or Class_Globals subs).
• Quick search shows a list of recent searches.
• Designer uses the multiline text editor for text properties.
• Unused libraries warning.
• Debugger related improvements.
• Custom views support "nullable colors". The default value of such fields looks like:
  
  
  
  
  
  This is an important feature as in many cases it is better not to set any color and use the system default.
  
• Rect.Width and Height properties.
• Service_TaskRemoved event added to the Starter service. This event is raised when the user closes the app from the recent apps list. This is an Android 4+ event.
  
• FloatLabeledEditText - Text and hint colors can be set in the designer.
• Regex.Replace / Replace2 - Regular expression replacement.
• (Java) The Tag property is set when calling CustomView.replaceBaseWithView2 (replaceBaseWithView is deprecated).
• _onkeydown and _onkeyup inline Java hooks.
• Other bug fixes and minor improvements.

Note that the debug key has been replaced. If you are using B4A-Bridge then you will need to uninstall the existing developed app before deploying the new one (required once).

Users who are eligible for a free upgrade will receive an email with installation instructions.
Other users will receive an email with a discount offer.

Great work and I always love how easily it just installs over previous version.... some products are not as easy.

Great work Erel.

Great work Erel.

I appreciate that there are never any compatibility issues with earlier versions; I think this is not easy to keep under control.

Excellent as always .

I noticed , when modules are in stand alone windows , when hovering over the B4A icon in taskbar, there is no captions - windows titles
in preview thumbnails.
Is that something that can be changed?
Btw. I'm using windows10 with anniversary update see picture :

It's not that is a big deal for me, I'm just posting my observation.
That's why I posted it here, if it is required, I can open a new thread for the issue.

 

[jazzzzzzz]

expecting the same update for b4i soon...
