Subject: ANNOUNCE: RHIDE 1.3 is available
Mime-Version: 1.0

RHIDE 1.3 has been released.

RHIDE is an integrated development environment for DJGPP.

It looks like the IDE from Borland C++ 3.1 and is written
with my port of the Turbo Vision library.

Some features of RHIDE:

- Syntaxhighlight
- Using projects to build programs or libraries from many
  source files.
- Integrated checking of dependencies for the files to compile
- Integrated debugger
- Support for multiple languages of the user interface
- Integrated online help for RHIDE itself and acces to the
  DJGPP info files

-------------------------------------------------------------------
RHIDE is free software with copying conditions of the GPL.

The primary site for RHIDE is my WWW site at this URL:

http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rho/rhide.html

I have uplaoded RHIDE also to DJ's site and the archives will
available as soon as possible also at the simtelnet archive
and it's mirrors in the directory:

/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps

The distribution of RHIDE comes in two archives:

rhide13b.zip - The binaries together with doc and config files
rhide13s.zip - The sources for RHIDE

The binary zip file contains three executables:

rhide.exe   - This is RHIDE
gpr2mak.exe - This is an utility to convert RHIDE project files
              to a makefile without the need of RHIDE
rhgdb.exe   - A standalone debugger. This GDB 4.16 with a
              Turbo Vision interface (but not all features of
              gdb can be used)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Because of the new editor RHIDE needs in some situations to be
configured for the keyboard. For this, please read the readme
in the %DJDIR/data directory.

I'm not longer distribute a separate Turbo Vision port for
DJGPP, because the changes I have mad are too much to work
betther with RHIDE. The sources for that library are include
in the source zipfile.

Because nobody is perfect, RHIDE has still some bugs (known or
not already known). If you found one or have problems with RHIDE
please read at first the documentation. If it didn't help you
ask you question in the news group

comp.os.msdos.djgpp

or post it to:

djgpp AT delorie DOT com

which is then redirected also to the newsgroup. But you can mail
me also directly to

robert DOT hoehne AT mathematik DOT tu-chemnitz DOT de


Because it was not possible to syncronize the translations to other
languages together with the developing of RHIDE, the language files
in the archives are not all complete. So you will see somtimes some
strings not in the expected language, but in English.
I will update if I have the complete translated files them on my
WWW site from where you can then dowload the file for your language,
which can be installed then over the existing RHIDE installation.


And at this point many thanks to all users, who had tested all the
last version 1.2 and sent me suggestions and bug reports.

The Changelog for RHIDE is appended to this message.

If you reply to this message, please send it not
to djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com, use instead djgpp AT delorie DOT com

Changelog for RHIDE since version 1.2: (my be not complete,
because of my laziness)
===========================================================
17.03.1997: Released version 1.2

... working on the linux port

27.03.1997: Fixed the bug, when closing a window which was modified, then
            Cancel ==> absolutely undefined results (only when the close
            icon was clicked with the mouse)

27.03.1997: Hopefully fixed now the mouse cursor lost after UserScreen
            and/or Dos-Shell

27.03.1997: Changed the titles for Ctrl+F4 and Watchwindow

... working on the linux port

03.04.1997: The first working linux version is ready.
            During the linux porting many small changes done with
            #ifdef's 

... many changes related to the linux port (screen, keyboard, mouse)

13.04.1997: Added a config file (rhide.env), which is searched in
            standard places and the current directory. Now there is
            no need to modify djgpp.env.

16.04.1997: Changed the default directories for the data files
            (keyboard config) to $(prefix)/share/rhide and the
            locale directory to $(prefix)/share/locale.

16.04.1997: Added builtin support for NASM (*.asm *.nsm).

17.04.1997: Fixed the 'Search in all files' crash in the INFO-viewer

17.04.1997: Added: When fuzzy methode is selected in syntaxhelp,
            the first exact match is focused.

18.04.1997: Some fixes in creating the makefile from a project.

19.04.1997: Added new specs and string-functions.

19.04.1997: Libraries to be linked in depending on a suffix of a
            project item can be customized now with
            RHIDE_TYPED_LIBS.cc=iostr
            and so on.

20.04.1997: Fixed (hopefully without creating new bugs) the opening
            of a file from the message window (was wrong when there
            are multiple files with the same basename)

20.04.1997: Added a new commandline switch (-E), which dumps all the
            environment variables, which are seen by RHIDE in that
            directory (including that from the rhide.env file(s)),
            to stderr

21.04.1997: Placed RHIDE 1.2a for DJGPP and Linux on my website.

23.04.1997: Fixed a little bug when computing the buckup filename.

23.04.1997: Better mouse handling on linux.

23.04.1997: Increased the output speed when running on linux
            terminal (do not emit at any time the color string).

24.04.1997: Again improving the mouse on linux.

25.04.1997: Added a new commandline switch '-S' to use a little
            bit slower screen output on DJGPP (read/write to the
            video ram only in 16bit words)

25.04.1997: Fixed a bug in the INFO viewer (happened with SET's
            file) by SET

25.04.1997: Fixed a bug in highlighting floats by SET.

25.04.1997: Syntaxhelp works now also when specifying a node
            as syntax file (like "(libc)Function Index" on linux)

25.04.1997: Fixed a very starnge bug in the INFO viewer when opening
            a file (unallowed memory overwriting).

25.04.1997: Search now also as default in /usr/info for info files.
            (For all the lazy people, who don't set INFOPATH)

27.04.1997: Enabled the calculator for the linux version.

28.04.1997: Placed RHIDE 1.2b on my website.

30.04.1997: Enabled now most of the DOS keys on linux (Alt+Fn,
            ...)

01.05.1997: New technique for caching the filenames, which
            uses less memory.

02.05.1997: Fixed the annoing "write protected" message for
            File/New.

03.05.1997: Fixed the "only LF problem" when creating the bug-report.

05.05.1997: Enabled the bug report for linux

07.05.1997: Fixed the bug, when a directory was deleted, which as
            stored as default directory for opening a file.

08.05.1997: Added the support for directory parts in the
            project items.

15.05.1997: Fixed the incorrect restoring of the RHIDE screen after
            Alt+F5

19.05.1997: The INFO viewer can read now directly also DOS-style
            info files (with CR/LF)

28.05.1997: Hopefully hooked now all signals to get no crash, when
            the debuggee gets one (on DJGPP)
