[Gambas-user] Beware of the recent changes in the development version

[Benoît Minisini]

Hi,

Since revision #7089, the IDE uses the new TextEditor control that 
replaced the Editor control.

The TextEditor control has not all the features of the old Editor 
control yet, and it surely still have bugs. So please report any problem!

One advantage: TextEditor is entirely written in Gambas, so it will 
works with all GUI components. And Gambas programmes will be able to 
easily use and extend it.

By the way, the IDE cannot use the new gb.qt5 component yet, because it 
seems to have many problems. For example: the Balloon is not displayed 
on the top of other windows, and appears in the task bar; When you 
resize the IDE console vertically, the Editor is incorrectly redrawn... 
I have no idea why, as the two components share their code at most as 
possible.

So if you test the gb.qt5 component, please report any problem too!

As for gb.qt5.webkit, you must know that QT will drop the support of 
webkit in the next versions, and replace it by classes based on the 
Google browser. And guess what, these classes will have less features 
than the webkit one, especially the hability to deal with the inner DOM 
(the WebElement Gambas class). You have been warned!

Regards,
