Workbench 2.6 is now supported.
The GPS background process has been replaced by a shared library. This change considerably improves responsiveness, initial load-time, and robustness.
Content Assist is now supported for Ada, including subprogram formal parameters and dotted names such as package names and record object components.
GNATbench now defines an Ada perspective, including Ada-specific views and menus.
GNATbench now has wizards for creating new VxWorks projects for Ada. Additionally, the Ada new-project wizards issue a warning when the default target is not currently supported so that users find out "up-front" when creating the project.
The Import wizard now allows users to configure a new project with the Workbench NewProject wizard as part of the importing process.
There is now a bespoke editor for GNAT project files (*.gpr files) with syntax highlighting to help users when they edit the files.
Debugging Ada tasks is supported. Ada tasks are mapped directly to VxWorks threads so the normal threads debugger interface can be applied.
The Help files have been significantly revised and extended, and now include step-by-step instructions for building, debugging, and editing, among others. A tutorial on building a VxWorks system is also included.
The Ada Project Explorer has additional capabilities and menu entries.
Package body stubs can be automatically generated for a given package declaration.
The color of numeric literals is now under user control, in addition to reserved words, string and character literals, and comments.
Normal build output messages are no longer colored in red. This requires a release of GNAT Pro that is at least version 6.0.
Changes to GNAT project files ("gpr files") are effective immediately without having to restart.
