Bug introduced with 7.1.2 fixed

v7.1.3

Bug fix with instantiated classes

"Check for updates" downloads the EXE now if there is a better one

Done by analyzing the HTML page in order to find the proper URL.

"Check for updates" fixed

"Check for updates" was unreliable. In fact it is impossible to download a binary via the REST API.

The best we can do is direct the user to the "Releases" page, if she wishes so.

Fire comes now with an installer

v7.1.0

Fire has its own installer now

Bug fixes on "Report hits"

• For simple variables with CR in it only the first hit was reported correctly.
• Simple variables with CR in it were formatted incorrectly.
• Under some cicumstances the "Report hits" command would crash on certain variables.

Several minor bug fixes

• Under some (rare) circumstances a variable can crash Fire in any "Replace" operation.
• Layout of "One-by-one" improved.
• Under rare circumstances PgUp and PgDown in Fire's Main GUI can crash Fire.

Build-in comparison tool for one-by-one replace operations

• Fire now comes with a build-in comparison tool for one-by-one replace operations.

  This allows a one-hit-at-the-time selection before the "Replace", including "Delete lines with hits".

• "Report all hits" has been beautified.

• Marking up changes has been removed. In times of version control systems this is an outdated feature.

• The option to create a full report has been removed. All reports are now compressed (hits only).

  However, you might be able to view the code of any given object (Ctrl+B for "Browse").

• The "DotAll" option in the RegEx group has been removed. It has very little use but complicates matters a lot.

• The newly introduced menu command "Edit > Amend windows size" resizes the window so that all data is visisble, if that is possibe at all.

• The "Calling counter" report has been removed. Anybody shouting?!

• The list of items searched for as well as "Look into" are only remembered during the current session now.

• Bug fixes:

  • A RegEx search that spanned several lines was not reported properly (missing <br>).
  • When swithings TABs ("Workspace" and "⎕NL") the hit list needs to be reset.
  • When the "⎕NL" tab is active the "Replace" button must be inactive.
  • "Start looking here" could be empty or "#." etc. when was pressed with this field having those values.
  • In the hit list, navigating to a particular object did not work.
  • In the hit report no line numbers were shown.

Fire crashed in case Beyond Compare and/or CompareIt! are not installed

v6.9.1

Fire crashed in case Beyond Compare and/or CompareIt! are not installed

Many small improvements and minor bug fixes

• 6.9.0
  • Only acre 4 and later is supported now.
  • In case acre is installed and not in ⎕SE yet it is loaded.
  • The message presented in case something was deleted from the workspace is more precise now (acre).
  • Bug fixes
    • "Check for updated" did not work.
    • Auto-resizing Fire's GUI (F8) according to the size of the hit list often got it wrong: it was too small. It's better to make it a bit too large rather than a bit too small.
    • Searching for a single letter and then trying to replace it by multiple letters with the first one being the searched-for letter led to an endless loop.
    • Under certain circumstances a replace operation on a one-liner could go wrong (repeatedly refusing to fix although the code is just fine).
    • A multi-line replacement was sometimes reported wrongly as a single line in the Preview while the actual replace was fine.
    • Pressing <home> in "Search for" crashed Fire in case the list was empty.
    • In case of a name-only search (Tab "NL") the setting of "Match valid names only" was wrongly taken into account.
    • Under certain (rare) circumstances a names-only search crashed.
    • Under some cirumstances (involving both "Search hit list" and "Negate search" the "Start looking here" box could end up empty. It's now falling back to #.

"Check for updates" added to help menu, and more...

• Menu command "Check for updates" added to the Help menu.

• Menu command "Show Fire on GitHub" added to the Help menu.

• When Fire is started while its main Form is still visible it is now recreated in the center of the main monitor.

  That helps in case you move the Fire Form to a secondary monitor and then unplug that monitor: a simple restart of Fire will bring the GUI back.

• Bug fixes:

  • Version 6.7.0 accidentally made the "Edit" command from the menubar permanently inactive, and therefore
    also the Ctrl+E keyboard shortcut.
