• Snippets : There is now a dockable (or not, it's configurable) snippets window, where you can drag highlighted bits of code or text from project item windows to. Once dragged to the snippets window Swift will store this code "snippet" and allow you to drag it back from the snippet window to a source or text window for any project at any time (Snippets live for as long as you wish them to). This allows you to create a library of useful functions available instantly across all your projects. Each snippet can be given a name and using a context sensitive menu you can create unlimitted categories and sub categories to organise your snippets. Categories and snippets can be moved about and re-organised freely by dragging and dropping.

• The project manager window can now be docked to Swift on the left or right sides, and the display of items and labels swapped between horizontal and vertical. All options can be configured in the settings or changed on the fly from the context sensitive menus.

• A tab control has been implemented at the top to enable quick switching between project items. Project items can be maximised and switched between easily in a very similer fashion to other popular IDE's

• Assembly results and search results can now be docked to the Swift window or undocked/re-docked at will and dragged out of the main Swift work area. Again, giving Swift a more familier feel for people using other industry standard IDE's.

• Indenting/un-indenting shortcut configurable between CTRL+SHIFT+I / CTRL+SHIFT+U and TAB / SHIFT + TAB

• Configuration option to save all changed files to disk on assembly

• Keyboard shortcut to save file CTRL+S, F12 to "Save As"

• Project Item properties show exact disk location of file

• Progress bar for assembly.

• Removed adding of files in project properties as this is now handled from project manager.

• A bug would occur if you tried to include project items from different volumes, this was because Swift uses relative paths and the underlying windows API to get relative paths cannot relate across volumes. Swift will now detect different volumes and if neccasary use the full qualified path if the volume of a project item is different than where the project file is stored.

• Fixes issue in the Sprite Designer introduced in version 3.1 where changing a pallete colour would not show the updated colour on the sprite

• Animation data can now be stored in the Sprite Collection data file - user selectable
• Sprite Data Formats document updated to include details on how animations are stored

Bug Fixes:

• Sprites who's data did not come to an even number would be regarded as corrupted even though they were not.
• New sprites could not be created (a bug that only seems to appear in version 3.1)
• DFS Module : Did not pad unused bytes in the last sector used on a disk to it's full size. This caused a problem for DFS Explorer/XFER51 when transferring your DFS disk to a real beeb over a serial link.

• New "Text" category for project manager. Allows text files to be created for notes, BASIC programs or boot files
• Support for writing BASIC programs and ability to strip REMS/ empty lines prior to sending to emulator

Bug Fixes:

• Warning appears if you try to add an item when no project active, previously exception occurred.

Limitations:

• Cannot handle REMs on multiple statement lines, i.e. 10 PRINT "Hello":REM Prints Hello, would not remove the REM

• This is a Beta version, release candidate 1. This is because time is not available to thoroughly test all the new facilities with the various new modes added. All have been initially tested but not as extensively as Mode 2 sprites.

• All bit mapped graphic modes supported
• Sprite animations
• Horizontal and Verical flips
• Rotate
• Sprites can now be dragged and dropped to change index in the data file

Limitations:

• Sprite animations are not saved as Beeb data, user must note index numbers used if they want to implement on Beeb. As it's only a handful of bytes this not time consuming and allows user flexibility to implement animations however they wish on the Beeb side.

• This is a Beta version, release candidate 1. This is because time is not available to thoroughly test all the new facilities with the various new modes added. All have been initially tested but not as extensively as Mode 2 sprites.

• Sprite Editor added
• Data format for Sprite Collections included as PDF

Limitations:

• Only supports Mode 2 with or without logical colour mask

• Project Manager control window
  • All files in project viewable and accessible from floating Project Manager window
  • New files can be added/linked to/copied and added via the Project Manager
  • All labels in source files are listed in Project Manager
    • After successful assembly labels will have address values
    • Double clicking labels takes you to that label in the source file
• Print function for source code windows.
• Support for BeebASM 0.6
• Open Project item removed
• Default editor colours changed for colours that show up well on a colour printer
• Bugs fixed from previous version that prevented new items being added to new projects

• BeebASM profile added, can now handle projects written in BeebASM
• Editor has had a major revamp and now has the following user settable options:
  • Line Numbers
  • Page width indicator (right margin indicator)
  • Tab amount (number of spaces inserted when tab pressed)
  • The colours and styles of the following elements can be set:
    • Comments
    • Instructions (i.e. LDA, STA)
    • Strings
    • Selections
• Keys to indent blocks of text has changed from [CTRL]+[SHIFT] + (> or <) to [CTRL]+[SHIFT] + (I or U)
• the undo limit previously was 1, now it's for practical purposes unlimited
• [Bug-Fix] Swift could save files in the wrong place if many projects were opened and closed in one session.

• N/A (initial release).
