Version 4.9.5.5
* New option in Editor Options: Show editor hints. User can disable the hints
displayed in the editor when the mouse moves over a word. Since this was the
cause of many errors (although it should be fixed by now), we are giving the
user the option to disable this feature.
* New option in Editor Options (code-completion): Use code-completion cache.
Well, it adds caching to code-completion. Depending on the cache size,
the program may take a bit longer to start-up, but provides very fast
code-completion and the user has all the commands (belonging to the files
he added in the cache) at his fingertips. If, for example, the user adds
"windows.h", he gets all the WinAPI! If he adds "wx/wx.h", he gets all of
wxWindows! You get the picture...
* Removed "Only show classes from current file" option in class browser settings
.
It used to be a checkbox, allowing only two states (on or off), but there is
a third relevant option now: "Project classes" so it didn't fit the purpose...
The user can define this in the class browser's context menu under "View mode"
.
* Fixed the dreaded "Clock skew detected" compiler warning!

s.

y
then we even get a stack trace in the bug report!
* Added new WebUpdate module (inactive temporarily).

ss).
Version 4.9.5.2
* Added new option in class-browser: Use colors
(available when right-clicking the class-browser
and selecting "View mode").

Version 4.9.5.1
* Implemented the "File/Export/Project to HTML" function.
* Added "Tip of the day" system.
* When running a source file in explorer, don't spawn new instance.
Instead open the file in an already launched Dev-C++.

class inheritance and visibility (shows items only from files
#included directly or indirectly)!
