RoadMap

For LMD 2009 R2 release (free update for all LMD 2009 user) in December following additional features are planned:

ScriptPack

Native (pure Delphi) Pascal Script implementation including integrated debugger support.

SyntaxEdit

• Rectangular selection
• Separate color scheme for View printing, (good for black-and-white printers).
• Custom text highlighting API, to let user highlight text ranges with some styles. This is useful for highlighting search results, various compiler errors etc...
• Tooltips show, based on user event.
• Basic auto-complete GUI which is based on:
  • user events
  • document contents
  • Parser information .
• Major Parser reworking to implement following features:
  • Paired language constructs highlighting (begin/end etc, based on syntax)
  • BNF-grammatics support, to create syntax schemes easier and more powerful.
  • Document structure treeview (document function and types lists). View's auto-complete feature can use this information.
  • Visual editor for syntax schemes.
