alpha 0.8.28
0.8.28 is now available as another build from the longer 0.8 path. Most notably DWARF support is now available on Windows. This update contains a number of smaller fixed, a new workspace system and augmentation of the configuration system. The workspace system is a work in progress and may have unintended side effects when used in an active debugging session and I would'nt advise to rely too much on it yet.
Overall codeclap now basically has 3 configuration layers (Workspace -> Executable -> Configurations). Workspaces allow to save and switch every setting and all configurations. While configurations are now able to group startup configurations by executables making everything a bit cleaner. I tried to make all of that compatible with older versions and everything should just continue to work.
Also new are smaller features liked variable tooltips in source view, syntax highlighting and expression visualization for linked lists and image data.
The new syntax highlighting is enabled by default but I don't have much experience on how much CPU usage is generated by it in release builds so it can be disabled by choice.
All themes except Dark are currently a bit more broken than before, those will be reworked for one of the next updates.
From now on there is also public issues tracking available making the overall development and known issues more transparent: https://issues.codeclap.cc
