Fw: RDP 8.5 Announced

As one who relies heavily on the Outline for maintenance programming I
think this is a huge deal and I can't wait to try it.

Thanks!

The live outline for RPG was a substantial amount of work that went from
examining the program as a whole to what amounts to an incremental parsing
model. In doing so, we have gained an internal view of RPG programs that
should lead to further improvements in our RPG support in the future. My
heartfelt thanks to the whole team in delivering this.

It does seem like such minor changes for a whole new release. I would like
to at least see OS X support for a version change like that. :-)

COBOL does not have the live outline update (for IBM i). The AIX

this

for RPG. For a while it was the highest voted RFE in all of Rational.

You

guys are making a difference!

That's OK Edmund - COBOL Outline support is next to useless anyway ;-)
There are many, many things it needs before you worry about live update!

Not being mean, but were there really that many RFEs for the COBOL AIX
support that it got all the effort? There's precious little in 8.5 for

IBM

i period. Personally I was really disappointed that after all this
community support there was so little content.
