Here is a list of the enhancements over SourceBoost V6.x:
IDE
- Support for multiple projects in single workspace.
- Reworked debugger core to provide better support for complex expression evaluation.
- Added support for multiple plugin instances.
- Added support for parallel compilations (for computers that have multiple CPU cores).
- Added support for remote build (using buid server and client supplied in SourceBoost installation).
- Implemented a better mechanism to address configuration bits in source code (alternative to pragma DATA).
BoostC/BoostC++/BoostBasic
- Added command line option for index size for PIC18 targets - Allows arrays bigger than 256 bytes.
- Added support for Microchip PIC16F1x processor family.
- Added support for bit and bool function return types.
Linker
- Added support for large arrays and data objects (>256 bytes) on PIC18.
Documentation and library code
- Added support for string and memory routines for both 8 and 16 bit long index sizes (16bit indexes used on PIC18 when large arrays required).
