Native 64-bit versions of SlickEdit are now available for Windows and Linux. These allow you to run on 64-bit platforms without the use of 32-bit libraries. SlickEdit still retains the 2 gigabyte file size limit.

Much of our energy this year has been spent on reengineering parts of SlickEdit to be multithreaded. This will allow us to make better use of available CPU resources and reduce the waiting time for affected operations. The Context Tagging engine has been the focus of this work, so that we can update and read the tag database using multiple threads. Many of the parsers for supported languages have been updated to run on a thread.

Added support for debugging Ruby programs.

Added support for the Git version control system. The basic operations supported are: add, remove, commit, revert, push, and pull. We have also built a basic status tree showing the result of comparing the workspace to the repository.

Auto-reload now uses a thread to access files, preventing SlickEdit from hanging due to unavailable resources. Auto-reload is still performed when you switch applications. A future modification may involve periodically checking for modified files, but that has not yet been implemented.

This includes the following changes:

• Added support for Python 3.
• Corrected display of Python special values: True, False, and None.
• Added a column to display the Value Type.
• Added the capability to change values while debugging.
• Improved the display of Perl values. Previously, all values were displayed as scalars.

This includes the following changes:

• Improved workspace and project folder handling.
• Added ability to read project property sheets.
• Improved support for project dependencies.

The JUnit support was updated to support version 4.6 and later. Earlier versions are not supported.
