Today, I have merged the gdl branche with trunk. Now Val(a)IDE use GDL for make its interface.

GDL allow a more customisable interface: drag & drop an item where you want, iconify an item...

You dislike dockable interfaces? In Edit -> Preferences -> Interface, check the lock option and select the notebook switcher style.

Changes since 0.4

• Support for genie
• Autocompletion
• Calltips
• Fullscreen mode
• Unique instance

After completed the API documentation (with my poor english, but it's better than nothing...), I just commited a new fullscreen mode (from gedit 2.26).

This mode allow to hide all ui components (menu, toolbar and statur bar) for get a maximizing working area, and you can show the toolbar in approaching the mouse at the top of the screen.

With the autocompletion, Val(a)IDE has a vala parser. With this parser, it's simple to add some helper functions.

Today I added the goto definition feature and calltips that displays the signature of a function when you open a parenthesis.

Val(a)IDE have already a very simple autocompletion plugin (it just list all word in the current file), I added a better parser (based on vala parser and ctags annalyse) to list the methods, properties, signals, ... of the current object.

Now Val(a)IDE support the genie language:

• You can create project in Genie
• Genie syntax highlighting (see #576141 for the .lang file)
• Genie symbol browser
