• Syntax coloring
• Code Completion, based on supported CSS subset that Servoy supports
• Outline view for the StyleSheet
• Properties view for the selected StyleClass
• Font & Color chooser available in main toolbar area

Search support

To be described

Solution Explorer view

• Activate a Solution by double-clicking the node for the solution to activate under the "All solutions" node 
• Added support to rename the Active Solution (added item in the Context menu of the Active Solution node)
• More contrast between enabled and disabled nodes (for example when editing Calculations)
• Different icons under the "All solutions" node for solutions of type module or solution, with special decorators for Web Client or Smart Client only
• Warning & Error decorators on the Icons of each node if there are any builder markers (Errors and/or Warnings) on the object the Node represents or on any of it's children
• Subnodes now ordered alphabetically
• Automatic expand of the Resources > database Database Servers node on startup if there are invalid servers

Properties view

• Color properties show the HEX value, instead of the RGB value
• Color properties can be directly edited. Supported values are Hex values, RGB values and named colors (i.e. black, red etc)
• Font properties can be directly edited
• When setting a property to an invalid value, an Error dialog pops up, instead of a message in the status bar and a silent revert to the old value
• Dataprovider properties that are unresolved now show the dataprovider name that cannot be resolved
• StyleName and StyleClass property now have a button to open the StyleSheet/jump to the StyleClass declaration
• The Method Selection dialog used to assign methods to Commands and Events has an "OK & Show" button to assign the selected method to the Command/Event and open the assigned method in the Script Editor in one go
• Ability to select -none- as dataprovider when editing a dataprovider property
• Added option to select standard tags over a relation (where applicable) in the Text property editor
• Overrides of inherited property values show -\OVERRIDE
  - next to the value

Profiler view

• Hidden from the Servoy Design perspective to improve the initial experience
• Made customized column width settings by the user persistent between session (a3) 
• Added Query execution timing info to the Profiler view
• Reduced the info in the "Source File" column to only show the name of the .js file and the Form name where applicable  

New Command Console

To be described...

Debug Perspective

• Added a "Stop" button, to terminate the execution of a running method(stack), without killing the Debug Client:
  Image Removed
• Ability to terminate the execution of a running method(stack) from code by executing the code "eval(!stop_current_script!);"

Build process

• Added QuickFix to create the unresolved method on builder markers for unresolved methods attached to events and commands 
• Added "Element in form "...." is outside the bounds of form." builder marker for elements placed below the last Form part. Note: elements placed below the last form part on a form are not instantiated at runtime, thus are not in the elements array or visible on the Form
• Added builder marker to warn about dataprovider of type text with a small length that are attached to HTMLArea's or RTFArea's, as these type of fields generate more markup in the dataprovider than the user actually sees

Miscellaneous 

• Added a Servoy Active Solution Working set: the workset functionality of Eclipse allows to limit the scope of operations like searching or display of builder markers. The Servoy Active Solution workset is a pre-defined workset that contains the Active Solution and all it's modules. The Servoy Active Solution working set can be used in: Problems view: The contents of the Added "Search for references" to the context menu of many of the object nodes:
  "Search for references" tried to find all references to the given object, both inside the JavaScipt code as well as the definitions of objects like Forms, Relations, ValueLists etc. Due to the dynamic nature of the JavaScript language, the matches within the JavaScript code might not be complete and/or not valid in the case of code that uses dynamic code constructions

• Added a Servoy Active Solution Working set: the workset functionality of Eclipse allows to limit the scope of operations like searching or display of builder markers. The Servoy Active Solution workset is a pre-defined workset that contains the Active Solution and all it's modules. The Servoy Active Solution working set can be used in:
  • Problems view: The contents of the Problems view can be filtered to only show the builder markers for the active solution. Click "View menu" > Configure Contents > Select "Servoy Active Solution Filter"
    
  • Searching: In the Search dialog, the scope of the Search can also be restricted to the Servoy Active Solution workset:
    
• Servoy MarketPlace integration
  • Servoy MarketPlace can be opened in Servoy Developer, through Help > Servoy MarketPlace
  • When supported by the product in the MarketPlace, the product can by instantly downloaded and installed into Servoy Developer 
• Added option to show the firstForm of the solution that is being activated (see Window > Preferences > Servoy > Form Editor) 

• Wiki Markup
  Improved output to console of Javascript objects: \{name: someValue} instead of \[object Object\]

• Added predefined update url for JSDoc plugin (https://www.servoyforge.net/projects/jsdoc)
• Updated Servoy Developer to Eclipse Helios (3.6)
• Reduced memory footprint of solutions in Servoy Developer by about 40% 
• Reduced startup time of Servoy Developer by lazy loading not active solutions
• Added command line Solution Exporter
• Added JUnit testclass for running JSUnit tests contained in a solution within the JUnit framework
• Made update of Calculations and Aggregates in the Replace Table action optional
• In the Debug Smart Client, a call to application.showUrl(...) will open the URL in a browser within Servoy Developer
• In Table Editor, when creating a new column containing the text "email" or "url" in the columnName, automatically set the type to "Text" and the length to resp. 254 or 2048 (based on the specifications for email addresses and urls)
• Added "Maximum prepared statements idle" property in Database Server Editor (was already exposed on the Admin page)
• Made "Link with Editor" work for Styles, Tables and Database Servers as well
• Added "FoxPro DBF" New server template

Still to be done

• Include the FoxPro DBF driver in the distribution

Solution development

Behavior changes

• If a font in html_area is expressed in "pt" instead of "px" -> it will get smaller.
• Non-modal Dialogs in WC rendered inside the main window, instead of as new browser windows due to JSWindow implementation, allowing multiple modal and non modal in the same window
• application.getTimeStamp() in the Web client will return the timestamp based on the timezone of the Client and the time of the Server: Before it would just return the timestamp based on the time and timezone of the server.
• When Editor, when creating a new column containing the text "email" or "url" in the columnName, automatically set the type to "Text" and the length to resp. 254 or 2048 (based on the specifications for email addresses and urls)

• When asking for elements and/or parts of forms that extend other forms, the inherited elements/parts are also returned in Servoy 6, whereas prior to Servoy 6, only the non-inherited elements would be returned and the (hierargy of) super forms(s) had to be inspected. 
• When using labels with labelFor link to other elements in TableViews to control the TableView header rendering, the first lable will now determine the height of the header 

Form Design

Conditional formatting (including row coloring in grids)

Inheritance model

The Inheritance model of Servoy has been enhanced to allow:

• Overriding all inherited Form properties
• Overriding all properties of inherited elements
• Overriding all properties of inherited Form parts
