JDE-2.1.6beta18 Release Notes
=============================

* Fixed bug that caused completion on private methods and fields.

  Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Nizet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for
  reporting this and the following bug.

* Now completes on inherited as well as declared fields and methods.

* Fixed "Wrong type argument: sequencep, 0" bug that occurs when 
  using completion with XEmacs. Thanks to Dr. Volker Zell for 
  reporting this bug.

* Now supports completion of fields declared at the end of a class 
  as well as those declared at the beginning of a class.

* Replaced jde-help-class with jde-help-symbol method. The new method
  gets help for the symbol at point. 

  The symbol may refer to a class, an object, or a method or field. 
  This method has some limitations. It works only for symbols declared
  in the current buffer. For example, it works for

     String msg = new String();
     msg.length()

  but not for

    Status status = new Status();
    status.msg.length()

  Also, this method does not scroll the class file to the place where the
  method or field is documented. These capabilities will come later.

  Thanks to Geoff Borgggaard, [EMAIL PROTECTED], for suggesting
  this enhancement.

* Fixed bug where Display->Threads command was not enabled when debugger
  was attached to a process.

Note: for instructions on installing and using JDEbug, read the
entire ReleaseNotes.txt file from back to front, starting at beta5.

* Fixed several incompatibilities between JDEbug and XEmacs.
