What You Get and What’s New
This release continues the tradition of promises fulfilled and surprise bonuses to the extent that not everything could fit on one CD - so they shipped two.
On the main CD we find the expected items: new releases of C/C++ and Pascal Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) for both the 68K and Power Macintosh as well as new releases of PowerPlant, the Metrowerks Debugger ... and the Profiler and ZoneRanger utilities. There are also MPW tool versions of the C/C++ compiler and Linker for both platforms. Metrowerks has also supplemented their collection of third-party SDKs, tools, and demos with a bunch of neat new freeware, shareware, and demo software and the QuickView developer’s kit. The CD also contains MacApp 3.1.3 and 3.3a1. Finally, they have added more scriptability to the environment and provided some very useful scripts for importing and exporting projects - including being able to create an MPW makefile from a project file.
The second CD contains a number of items which were originally scheduled to be extra-cost options or part of a more expensive “Platinum” version such as the Magic Cap compiler and development tools and the Microsoft Windows cross-compiler and development system as well as late additions to the CodeWarrior 6 materials, such as a PowerPC version of MacApp2 for the Object Pascal programmers among you. You also get the OpenDoc DR2 release and a preview of the next iteration of CodeWarrior’s IDE, where you can use different compilers and tools from within one IDE rather than having a separate (though virtually identical) IDE for each compiler, a prerelease of Code Fragment Manager for 68K support, and the first look at the CodeWarrior Browser.
What Changed?
The main changes to the C/C++ compilers are the addition of C++ exception handling and Standard Template Library (STL) support. The biggest change to the Pascal compiler is that it is now both “ready for prime time” and an Object Pascal compiler. The environment now always uses stationery (unless you hold down the option key when choosing “New Project ” from the menu). CodeVoyeur has added a “Memory” window which gives a hex/ascii memory display and some initial support for Drag Manager debugging as well as becoming interoperable with QC from Onyx Technology. PowerPlant has been significantly enhanced to use exceptions and to include new classes for AOCE, a standard movable modal dialog, and isolating event dispatching; additionally, a number of classes (such as LAction and LUndoer) have seen major reworking. Metrowerks is also including a number of prebuilt resources for your use with PowerPlant projects that support many commonly used portions of PowerPlant.
One of the larger changes is to the documentation. While most of the documentation is still in DocViewer format, much has been made available in QuickView format, the Altura Hypertext Engine used for Apple’s Macintosh Programmer’s Toolbox Assistant ...
