in

Changes in 1.2.0.1924

  • Allow you to debug JavaScript on the same debug session you are debugging Php.
  • Allow setting javascript breakpoints inside Php files. The debugger will now pick up those breakpoints as Javascript ones.
  • Add intellisense support for PhpDoc @attributes.
  • Show PhpDoc @attributes in bold.
  • Change platform from PHP to Php 4 and Php 5. You can change the platform for your project so you can use the Php5 preview engine or the Php4 one.
  • Include both php 4 and php 5 runtimes into installer.
  • Upgrade Php to 4.3.11
  • Include Php 5.0.4
  • Fix problem with user references
  • Prevent Php intellisense to show up in comments
  • Find variables defined in included files for better intellisense support
  • If a folder has more that 1000, only include the first 1000. Avoid hanging VS.Net when individual folders have thousands of files.
  • Enable Show All and Refresh on any node in the project. This is consistent with other MS languages.
  • Fix project directory refresh functionality. Also include various performance optimizations.
  • Support intellisense for const members in classes. There is still a few cases that are causing syntax checks.
  • Added more bracket matching rules.
  • Don't show php intellisense outside Php blocks.
  • Fix debugger problem showing message box regarding module ids.
  • Remove various registry entries. Makes installer cleaner.
  • Update httpd-template.conf to handle Php5 and Php4 settings. Pass a variable via -D when launching Apache to define which module to load.
  • In case you are using something like http://localhost/?DBGSESSION=1 it will try to use http://localhost/index.php instead so it can find the appropiate file.

  • Edit value of variables during debug
  • Improved support for defines including tooltips and goto definition

  • Customization of php.ini and httpd.conf for each project when using built-in preview engine.
  • Improved support for extended characters

  • Fix problem with .Net-type user-defined user regions
  • Remove a feature that prevented php intellisense to show when you were outside a php block. This was causing various crashes and in some instances when there were syntax errors, the intellisense would not show up inside php blocks. I plan to reimplement this feature in a later release.
