[Gambas-devel] Release of gambas 1.9.36

[Benoit Minisini]

Hi,

Here is a new release of the development version.

I put the debugger in the gb.debug component. This way the interpreter is a 
little smaller, and I can add features to the debugger without making it 
heavyier. 

Otherwise, there are some little changes in the Development Environment, and 
the Stock class design has been finalized. But this class is not terminated 
yet, as I'd like to put the GTK+ icons inside. I want the IDE to have sort of 
GNOME look if it is run under GNOME :-)

Here is the full ChangeLog:

-8<----------------------------------------------------------------------------

DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

* BUG: You can change the case of a control name now without having a
  message telling you that the name is already in use.
* NEW: If you select an expression during a debugging session, its value
  is automatically displayed in a tooltip.
* BUG: Some fixes in the automatic insertion of functions when selecting
  an event in the form editor.
* NEW: The automatic position bookmarks (F2 & SHIFT+F2) saves positions
  in more situations.
* NEW: Some little changes in the search & replace panel.
* BUG: The file list is now correctly sorted, and displayed the line where
  the search string was found.
* BUG: Form reload should work in all cases now.

INTERPRETER

* NEW: The debugger code is now stored in the gb.debug component.
* BUG: Code inside _init() methods can be debugged now.
* NEW: If you use the bracket syntax with the two first elements having
  different types, then a Variant[] array is created instead of raising an
  error.
  
GB.DEBUG COMPONENT

* NEW: The debugger goes inside this component now.
* NEW: The debugger can display the contents of Array and Collection 
  objects.

GB.EVAL COMPONENT

* BUG: Evaluating expressions with a non-terminated string does not crash
  the interpreter anymore.

GB.QT COMPONENT

* BUG: Management of Expand property was fixed for Row and Column 
  arrangement mode.
* BUG: The behaviour of UserContainer arrangement properties was fixed.
* BUG: The Label control should not displayed its text twice anymore.
* NEW: The Separator control now uses the underlying widget theme for 
  displaying its contents.
* NEW: Pictures name beginning with "icon:/" are sent to the Stock class.
  For example, "icon:/64/close" is a reference to the stock icon that
  represents the "close" action, with a width and height of 64 pixels.
* BUG: Forms do not accept keyboard focus anymore.
* NEW: Action.Lock and Action.Unlock are two new methods for locking and
  unlocking the propagation of actions.
* NEW: The Stock class uses the icons of the current KDE icon theme.

  experimental and not well tested!
