Dear Friends of 4diac!

For 4diac IDE, the following major changes were introduced:
    • Improved usabilty and editing efficiency of all editors
    • Introduced monitoring for Structured Datatypes
    • Introduced editing history during undo/redo to quickly find the last editing position
    • Improved layout generation results
    • Improved/introduced input validation, show error messages
    • Introduced error markers to handle broken projects more gracefully
    • Of course, we have also implemented numerous bug fixes.

For 4diac FORTE, we have mostly provided bug fixes and stabilization patches:
    • Gracefully handling full external event queues
    • Fixed issues for compiling on Mac OS
    • Implicit upcasts are allowed for constant inputs at FBs (e.g., WORD#AFFE on a DWORD input)
