VenomIDE New release 1.5 - see new features

VenomIDE is a free Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed by us to help you write your Venom programs.

One strength our controllers have always had is that you can program them in real time, on the target hardware, using tools readily available on any PC: a text editor and a terminal emulator.

VenomIDE builds on this strength by taking a powerful programmer's text editor and a terminal emulator, and integrating them into a single Windows application.

VenomIDE runs on most recent versions of Windows and can be downloaded and used free of charge.

New features

VenomIDE Version 1.5 was released in February. This box lists the new features available in this version.

Support for user Classes in the Navigation Panel.
Procedures, Arrays and Classes are now listed in one Symbols tab in the Navigation Panel, and refreshing this tab is much faster.
Double clicking on any item in the Navigation Panel will always take you to the corresponding point in your source code (it no longer opens or closes a level of the hierarchy).
New Venom capitalisation scheme: the capitalisation of Venom keywords, etc. has been given a face lift. You can use this new scheme by applying the Style tidier to each of your code files.
The Venom Tutorial is now accessible from VenomIDE in both CHM and PDF formats.
Many small bug fixes and improvements.
