Re: [wb-dev] WindowBuilder 1.20.0

Wow, that is a serious release! 

WindowBuilder is a consistent Eclipse Marketplace Top 10 member. 

So, on behalf me and thousands other users: Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to announce that the repository for the 1.20 release has been
created earlier today:

https://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/updates/release/1.20.0


Originally, the focus of this release was a general cleanup of the
property table, in order to fix some of the visual glitches that appear
when selecting properties and to properly integrate the SWT buttons into
the GEF layout.

However, this was then quickly overshadowed by an incompatibility with
Java 24, due to the extensive use of reflection not only by
WindowBuilder, but also BurningWave. This issue has been temporarily
resolved by updating BurningWave to a newer version. But it is now also
possible to launch the editor without this dependency, while at the same
time preserving most of the functionality.

Lastly, I've started migrating some of the icons to SVGs, to take
advantage of the support that was added with the latest SWT release and
to avoid some of the quirkiness that has been introduced with the
ongoing HighDPI support.


A list of all changes can be found here:

Regards,

Patrick
