Update for 7.1

An update for 7.1 is going out today, one of the really nice improvements is this release:

FEATURE: New option in “Tools/Options/Clarion/Clarion for Windows/General” – Use lightweight parsing mode (enabled by default). Used only if project parsing is set to “Parse all hand-coded projects and only applications opened for editing”. If this option is enabled only the PROGRAM file will be parsed on project reparsing to refresh global information for code completion. Each MEMBER file will be parsed only when a procedure located within this MEMBER file is opened for editing.

What this new feature boils down to is a very noticeable improvement in performance for parsing large applications, especially when working with embedded code. There are also several other refinements for code completion, some fixes for conversion of TXRs to the the new .REPXL format (used in the new ReportWriter), and a number of other fixes.
