Smarter code analysis, especially for multi file and multi library setups.
Better Autocompletion - Wherever autocomplete is invoked it will usually provide you what you are looking for within the top 10 hits.
Live coding- Instantly change properties and variables for a truly interactive experience
Debugger improvements- Hover over variables to see their value, call stack improvements.
Instant documentation- Go to Window->Documentation Viewer and just click around your code, documentation will update intelligently.
Glider plugins support- Easily run command line programs in various areas of the build process. Easily support new SDKs or execution environments. A plugin SDK and formal documentation will be coming soon.
Editor breadcrumbs - Quickly and easily find out where you are in the current document.
Instant renaming - Rename locals with specificity you can’t get with a find/replace.
Declaration / Implementation finder- Ctrl-Click on an element to go to its implementation, ctrl-click on its implementation to go to its declaration.
Usages finder - Right click -> Find Usages to see where that variable is used in all your files.
Note that you will not need to uninstall the Glider version 1.7. The two versions can be run in parallel so if you don’t like 1.9 then you can still use the older version.
Also note that the license file is the same so you do not need to find it again.
You will NOT need to touch your current Java installation. We have bundled the proper JVM with Glider already. Stay tuned for step by step video tutorial guides.
I just downloaded the install for the new version. When I installed it, instead of updating my existing version, it installed as a separate program. I didn’t want to start all over again with setting up preferences and opening all my projects. Is there a way that I can preserve my preferences and projects from the previous version?
Thanks Juf Jannie, this worked like a charm. However, why does it take so long for the background scanning to complete. This seems to be holding up the functionality of the program.
Just bought this version and the automated messages still point to the old installers (1.7). Got the link for new installer from the first post in this thread. Just pointing out that you might want to update the automated email.
No need to mess with the LIC file. 1.9 will just use your existing 1.7 licence file.
Did you try clearing the cache as shown in the other forum post? Please try doing that, it should fix the issue.
Do you mean the simulator window in Glider? or the standard output window in the console? If you are running in debug/run mode it will only print to the IDE console,
The themes were giving a few issues with a particular panel (git->show changes). Since that was the only one we found, who knows what other panels are affected. This is why we temporarily reverted to the system native theme which does not have that problem. Hopefully they will have a fix for it soon. You can still enable skins if you wish via tools->options->editor-> Look and Feel.
Yes we will be making lots of videos as soon as we fix all the major bugs that usually crop up after launch. If we had these bugs during dev time we would never launch until they were fixed!
Thanks for letting us know about this. It is fixed now, sorry about any inconvenience.
Hi, sorry, I see I typed lice, but I meant LiVe coding.
There is a live codign option.
I select a variable and click add to live code. A comment appears beneath it. In the live code window the variable with an option to change a number appears.

Thanks for this version!
