I'm happy to release B4A v5.5 BETA.
Advanced optimizations were made to the debugger which make the debugger significantly faster.
Complete features list:
- Debugger improvements.
- Better handling of uncaught exceptions (Application_Error). See this tutorial:
Uncaught Exceptions
This feature allows developers to provide alternative ways to handle crashes. For example to send the crash logs by mail.
- Material themes were added to the WYSIWYG designer.
- Panel.Elevation / SetElevationAnimated methods (and designer property) - These methods allow setting the panels elevation. This is a new feature added in Android 5. The methods will do nothing on prior versions. See the following video:

- #DebuggerDisableOptimizations attribute: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-is-available-for-download.58283/#post-366943
- $AdditionalLibs$ and $AndroidSDK$ shortcuts. These shortcuts can be used in the #AdditionalRes path. They will replaced with the full path to the additional libraries folder or Android SDK folder.
- Buttons text is no longer upper cased when the material theme is used.
- Bug fixes and other minor improvements.
Note that the legacy debugger option has moved to Tools - IDE Options.
