Machina Engine DevPascal - IDE for Free Pascal

[FelipeFS]

I'm solving some memory leaks, and I have made some improvements in the user interface inspired by the new VS 2011 interface - and thinking about change the icon colors to grayscale like in VS 2011, because, let's admit, that gray interface is good because don't do a visual mess:

It's hard to tell, but I hope to release a usable(not stable) version until the end of July. =)

Hello guys, I'm releasing a beta for Win32. I ask your for ideas, for example I have two ideas now:

• Create a design-mode, which will allows create code in real-time using diagrams;
• Create the historic, which will list the backups;
• For a distant future, make possible the creation of plugins(I have an idea on how to accomplish that);

The ideas can be about anything to make the coding easier and faster.
Also, check for bugs, particulary bugs related to text-format(Unicode, UTF-8, ANSI/ASCII). And, since it's a beta, create a backup of the files that you will open with the IDE.

Source-Code: The source-code is included. You need to install the package ProPackIDE, which contains some custom components. Known bug: The option to toggle between the prototype and implementation of a method - sometimes it doesn't work; Help: If you are good with conversion, I would appreciate the converson of the package ProPackIDE to Lazarus code, this would accelerate the release of the Linux and MacOS versions. Also, I will put a list of contributors for the project.

Some tips:

• There are a fullscreen-mode(press F11);
• For a better fullscreen, you can hide the Manager, Browser, Messenger and status bar. It will give you much more space;
• When clicking "Save" or "Save As...", you will save the active file, not the file of the selected tab;
• To compile a file, you must save it first. The IDE don't do that automatically - because it is not stable, so I don't want to create chances to anyone lose its data.
