• Fixed an issue that could make several instances of BLIde read the same BLIF file, producing a streaming error that could cause a crash at BLIde start-up.

• Fixed an issue that could make BLIde crash when restoring the Find and Replace preferences when the Find and Replace serialized data has been corrupted in disk becouse a hard system failure.
• Fixed a small issue that was making BLIde restore its location and size before setting the font DPI scaling, so the IDE window could not be storing properly its screen location between runs.
• Fixed an issue that could make BLIde crash when reloading an already disposed document, after a very concrete chain of open/close operations.
• Fixed an issue that was making the ESC and ENTER buttons to not work as a standarized form in the New file dialog.

• Fixed an issue that could crash BLIde when a help document was requested in very specific configurations
• Fixed an issue that was making the Print routines to make a bad calculation of lines off-set, avoiding some lines of source code when a document was printed on some paper size configurations.
• Fixed an important stability issue with the "Replace All" function that could break a managed project internal dependencies refractoring. This has been fixed with the help of Marko Nikolic
• Fixed an issue with the BLIde Traveller automatic portable generation code, that could be generating a not MinGW capable version when MinGW was not properly configured in the host machine

• Fixed an ussue with the Find&Replace dialog that was causing a major slowdown on complete Find & Replace operations on big files.
• A "Replace all" operation is now consuming a single "undo" step

• Improved the fade in/out effect used to prevent flickering, so it is faster and uses less GDI resources
• Fixed an issue that was making the "Jump to definition" not work properly for local variables that had unary operations with the ":" symbol.

• Improved load time of managed solutions
• Improved package-based setups, so upgrades (from SP1) are smaller and consume less bandwidth
• Improved permissions handling under computers with UAC enabled. BLIde should now detect it and inform if any permission action is required for the current BlitzMax installation to work properly
• Improved internal HTML renderer. Now BLIde will use Internet Explorer 8 or 9 if pressent in the target computer, so it's more secure and faster.
• Fixed an issue that could leave a unmanaged solution file (BLIdeUS) in a corrupted state due a permissions issue in the Microsoft implementation of the XML file support.
• Fixed an issue that could make BLIde crash after a regular update if some old dlls had been placed in the global assembly cache by the .net NGen utility.

• Fixed an issue that was not saving properly single files if they were not modified
• Fixed an issue that was triggering the 'Find Next' operation when the F key was pressed and the search and replace dialog was docked.
• Fixed a stability issue when loading some large unmanaged solutions and the locals tree was being sorted.
• Fixed an issue that was making BLIde integration with the .net printer tools not work properly for some printers, due to some changes introduced in the latest QWhale parser service pack.

• Jump to definition now can be used also to open and navigate module's source code.
• Introduced the BLIde Traveler system. (Tools / Generate a portable environment):
• The BLIde Traveler is a portable environment generated from BLIde Plus, that contains all the BLIde IDE, the active BlitzMax installation (including all modules) and the MinGW setup (if any).
This environment can be created on a Pen Drive or removable device, and it can be executed later on mostly any Windows computer, without requiring any installation. The whole environment is standalone and can be used directly from the removable device.
This tools has been designed to facilitate two tasks:
1.- Coding on several computers with the same BLIde and BlitzMax configuration.
2.- Betatesting your games or applications on several computers with the ability to fix in-situ any bug that may appear
This portable environment called BLIde Traveler is automatically generated by BLIde, and it is ready to be launched from any Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer. It can also be launched on any pre-vista Windows computer with the .net framework version 2,0, 3.0 or 3.5.
To generate a BLIde Traveler, just go to Tools / Generate a portable environment, then select the location where you want this portable environment to be generated, and let BLIde do the rest for you. It's easy.
• Fixed an issue that could make BLIde become irresponsive for some seconds when loading a solution in some computers.

• String object in intelliprompt is now considered Common in all situations.
• BLIde updater now has an option to download any full update package as an offline updater.
• BLIde allows the source code to be modified while an application is being run. This is not recommended, but has been added to BLIde due to popular demand.
• Some improvements to the JavaScript parser
• Fixed a usability problem when BLIde was about to update its internal database to a newer version and the update notification was hidden behind the module's cache window.

• Added support for a new plug-in based intelliprompt system (more info on this very soon).
• Cleaned a bit the design of the welcome page.
• Removed the BufferedPanel class from the BLIde Plugin SDK. All this functionality is now available in the regular Panel class.

• Fixed an issue that could throw a false 'Out of memory' error while loading unmanaged solutions with a given file's structure.
• Added an advanced parameter in the BLIde advanced tab that allows the user to enable or disable the pre-allocation of memory that default .net framework does. Disabling it will reduce the BLIde memory footprint at a cost of slower performance.

• Fixed a bug in the Search&Replace dialog when a step-by-step replace operation was performed in a text with several replacements in the same line.
• Fixed a bug in the internal BLIde BMX lexical parser that was not parsing properly the Else clause of the Assert sentence.
• Fixed a bug in the BLIde unmanaged solutions serializer that was using absolute paths to store some project context folders location when the option 'create custom folder' was disabled at the creation of a project.
• Added several improvements to the LUA syntactic parser. Thanks to Fabian for providing the improved XML parser source code.
• Recent solutions menu now handles a larger list of recent solutions.
• Fixed: BLIde was performing code completion for inherited methods and functions, even when the ESC key was pressed to cancel this action.
