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).
• Altered: Search and replace dialog remembers the last states

• 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.
