We are very proud to present the release candidate for Smart Mobile Studio version 1.1 (build number v1.1.0.400). If you would like to give this groundbreaking product a test drive before we officially release it, then you can download the installer directly from SmartMobileStudio.com/download/setup_v1_1_0_400_rc.exe
(The context menu is replaced with Ctrl+Shift+R (start/stop recording) and Ctrl+Shift+P (replay the recorded macro).
We have done a lot of improvements in the IDE, the editor, the RTL and the Smart Pascal language. Below is a list of some of the improvements that have been done since version 1.0 (see full manifest of changes for beta 1 here).
IDE changes
- Added: Support for external form files
- Added: Navigate to ancestor from class-browser
- Added: Components are now organized in more tabs
- Added: RTL source proxy, speeds up compilation and dependency chain
- Added: Syntax hints and improved code insight
- Added: The IDE now uses threading to handle background compilation
- Added: Dependencies for controls are automatically added to the uses clause
- Fixed: Resizer bugs for nested controls
- Fixed: Scrolling issue fixed ([CTRL] + [Up]/[Down])
- Fixed: Disabled unit structure flickering
- Fixed: LineCount issue
- Fixed: Case fix for strict hints
- Fixed: A label “mistake” in the baseframe (it was renamed further up the chain).
- Fixed: modified [CTRL]+/ to work the same as in Delphi:
- if a single line is changed, caret is moved to the next line (current column is preserved)
- if multiple lines are selected, comment is toggled for the whole block and caret is move to the line following the block (current column is set to 1)
- modification is placed into the undo buffer so that it can be undone
- Altered: [CTRL]+[/] is replaced by [CTRL]+[#] for systems where [/] is only accessible via [SHIFT]
- Altered: Minor changes on compiler output (bulk output of errors, warnings and hints).

- Added: Rename refactoring (including closed files)
- Added ‘Format Keywords’ action (see popup menu), which translates all keywords to lowercase.
- Added: Simplified BrowserAPI
- Added: possibility to filter log messages from the console output (filtered ‘event.layerX and event.layerY are broken and deprecated …’ by default). Select a certain text to filter and right click -> Ignore Message to filter out all messages containing this particular string. The filter will be resetted on restart.
