Dev-C++ 5.6.1 released

A newer version is available!

Time for some fixes for the 5.6.x series.

Changes - Version 5.6.1 - 12 Februari 2014
  • Added rm.exe to MinGW 4.8.1 compiler sets. This prevents the "CreateProcess(rm.exe...)" error when rebuilding.
  • Updated blog URL in English.lng.
  • Fixed UI glitch in the Debug Tab: the gdb log was invisible.
  • Fixed an undo bug in Duplicate Line functionality.
  • Project unit information in .dev files is only read once instead of twice now.
  • Updated Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) translations.
  • Added "Move Selection Up/Down" functionality (listens to Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down by default).
  • Specific symbol completion options are now greyed out when the global option is disabled in Editor Options.
  • When selecting a folder, one can now create, edit and delete folders inside the select window.
  • The Import from MSVC and "Tip of the day" windows now use the global UI font.
  • Fixed some bugs in the preprocessor: more complete code completion is available now.
  • Improved code completion and formatting for function pointers.
  • Code completion input from included files is now preserved when editing files.
  • Removed ghost entries in the class browser that would randomly disappear and cause crashes when clicked on.
  • Added an icon and the company name information to the uninstaller in the Programs and Features list.
  • More bugs that I forgot about or are not important enough to mention.

Choosing between 32bit and 64bit
  • The 64bit compiler will fully work op 32bit systems.
  • The 64bit compiler can create 64bit and 32bit executables and DLLs.
  • The 64bit compiler currently provides much more headers and libraries.
  • The 32bit compiler can only create 32bit executables and DLLs.
