What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Fixed: Conditional breakpoints don't work with spaces (bug#2743414)
· Implemented FR#2739818: Replace with selection the searched string when using 'find in files' is now also set as the 'replace with' string. In addition, each time a replacement is made, the content of 'replace with' is added to the 'replace with' drop down
· Added new option to the debugger: set breakpoints using short file names (NO full paths) this fixes a bug reported in the forum that codelite does not break if a breakpoint is set in header file which is a template file (forum post: http://codelite.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=493)
· Commented code that printed 'garbage' to sterr
· Applied patch by Mattia barbon so that codelite will send 2 events when file is renamed: 1 event for the removal of the file and one for adding new fie
· Fixed: renaming file now properly closes the old file (if it was open in the editor)
· Added missing include statement to allow compilation under GCC 4.4.0
· Applied patch to fix bug# 2783422 (Broken CodeLite symlink when DESTDIR is used)
· Fixed: function calltips included an extra ';' following variables in the function signature (forum post: http://codelite.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=511&sid=1c1475d6d134a022757b61261b255a64)

· Fixed: importing files using the 'import files from directory' to an active project will no longer remove the 'active' state of the project
· Changed the margin folding shapes to rectangle rather than rounded rectangle
