From curt at hibbs.com Sat Nov 27 03:15:19 2004 From: curt at hibbs.com (Curt Hibbs) Date: Sat Nov 27 03:14:41 2004 Subject: [FR-users] [ANN] FreeRIDE 0.9.0 Released! Message-ID: Version 0.9.0 of FreeRIDE has been released and is available for download! For details and downloads, go to: http://freeride.rubyforge.org/ Many bug fixes in this release especially on the Windows platform. There are also some new features: all dock panes can now be dock and undocked, Debugger and Script Runner works better on Win32, debugged process can be run in a console for Windows users to see the process output... Have fun! And, as always, feedback and contributions are welcome. === FreeRIDE Overview === FreeRIDE aims to be a full-featured, first-class IDE on a par with those available for other languages, with all the best-of-breed features that you would expect in a high-end IDE. Some of FreeRIDE's features include: * Multi-file editing * Syntax highlighting * Auto-indenting * Code Folding * Source navigation by module, class, method, etc. * Integrated debugging * Written in Ruby for easy extension Some planned features include: * Full internationalization * High-end refactoring support * Remote pair programming In its current state, FreeRIDE cannot yet be called a real IDE. What is does have is a stable infrastructure with all the working plumbing needed for the hordes of anxious Ruby developers that want to create plugins to extend the functionality of FreeRIDE. The FreeRIDE team will be working on such FreeRIDE plugins that we will individually release to incrementally improve the FreeRIDE system. Periodically we will rollup these added plugins into new releases of FreeRIDE. Even if you have not officially joined the FreeRIDE team you can still create plugins for you own use, share them with others, or send them to us and we will make them available for download from our project wiki. We may even ask for your permission to include them in the FreeRIDE core distribution.

I'm running out the door to a family affair, so this will be very quick... The config info is stored in YAML files in you %USERPROFILE%\freeride directory. These are human-readable text files, so you should be able to figure out how to back up the info. > and the mouse scrollwheel doesn't work properly. it's not incrmental. > moving in any direction contines until you change direction or use the > scrollbars... This is a known bug in FXRUby. We're hoping it will go away when we switch to the new FXRuby/Fox 1.2.

I don't have any problem with FreeRIDE watchpoints on Win32. Do you? Launch the debugger, go to the watch point tab, add a Ruby statement to be used as a watchpoint (e.g ' b < 10') and then keep running the program. The debugger shoudl stop when the condition is met and there is message in the status line at the bottom of the FreeRIDE window. LEt me know if this doesn't work for you.
