announcement New Dragon Build (2712) Available for Download

[Jim Kring]

There's a new build of Dragon and VIPM 2021 Beta: Download it here

Here's what's new:

• Improved Palettes for Virtual Environments - Virtual Environment Palette now show Instrument Drivers, User Libraries, and Add-ons correctly (reported here)
• Multi-select - Select and operate on multiple items/packages in the Resources tree-view to allow install/uninstall multiple packages at once (reported here)
• Improved New Project Configuration Detection - new project dialog will now search in subfolders (2 levels deep) for the .lvproj, .vipc, and .vipb file -- this is helpful if the root folder of the project does not contain these project files, and they are located in subfolder.
• Missing Friend Classes No Longer Cause Package Build Errors -  The package builder was raising a dependency missing error if a friend class could not be found. However, friends are not actually required. Now they don't cause a missing dependencies error (reported here)
• Improved "Please Wait" Dialog - Fixed text cut off in the Please Wait Dialog (reported here)

Here are more details for a few of the new improvements:
