I am busy working on the Vision2-Cocoa implementation and have some nice additions for better interaction with Objective-C ready, the code is now void-safe and the Cocoa-Eiffel wrapper is much more complete. But more about that some other time. For now I just want to take a short break and present you the "New Cocoa Application Wizard" which I wrote yesterday.

Last night I've upgraded my iPod Touch to the latest iPhone OS 3.0 and its corresponding SDK. The OS upgrade went smoothly. However for the SDK, what I had done was not working when I switch the include path to use the 3.0 SDK because it also required GCC 4.2 (by default it is GCC 4.0).

SourceForge started the Community Choice Awards. Click on this link to vote for EiffelStudio.

Like many, this weekend I've downloaded the beta version of Windows 7. And of course, the first thing I did was to install EiffelStudio. I chose the development version but I believe it should work equally well with 6.3.

I was happy that it installed without any problem using the MinGW C compiler.

For our work on migrating all the Eiffel Software source code to void-safe mode in 6.4, I've updated our Eiffel Syntax Updater tool to update our source code automatically.

In the past, some of our customers, especially those who are compiling files that are not on their local hard drive, have been complaining that degree 6 takes an enormous amount of time to complete.

The reason is pretty simple. At degree 6, we fetch the name of the classes so that proper class name resolution is done in the later degrees.

We just released EiffelStudio 6.3 and are already working on the next 6.4 iteration. EiffelStudio 6.4 is a maintenance release toward a full adoption of the ECMA standard. Some of the changes in ECMA require a change in our libraries.
