SECTION 1   General Information
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 A. Supported Configurations/Platforms

        Raisonance tool sets and Ride7 operate on Windows Vista (including
        64-bits) and Windows XP. Other versions of Windows, including
        Windows 2000 and Windows Server, are not supported.

 B. Supported Toolsets

        Ride7 depends on Raisonance toolsets (RKit) for functionality specific
        to given microcontrollers, such as debugging, programming, compilation
        or code optimization.
        In addition to defining debugging and programming capabilities, RKits
        include C compiler, Assembler, Linker and Optimization tools.

        Ride7 integrates control for the following RKit toolsets:
        . RKit-ARM: for STMicroelectronics ARM core-based microcontrollers
        . RKit-STM8: Raisonance C Compiler tool set for STMicroelectronics
          STM8 and ST7 core-based microcontrollers
        . RKit-C816: for Semtech and Electronic Marin C816 core-based
          microcontrollers

        Microcontroller support depends on the RKits that you have installed
        with Ride7. For further information, see the release notes for your
        RKit. Once you have installed an RKit, you can view the complete list of
        supported devices in Ride7.

 C. Supported Hardware Targets

        Ride7 drives the following hardware tools for debugging and programming
        target microcontrollers:
        . RLink: "standard" and "pro" versions of the in-circuit
          debugger/programmer
        . Signum JTAG-JET

    ------------------------------------------

        Improvements:

        . "Find In Files" Settings are saved and restored between two sessions
          of Ride7.
        . Editor Settings (Options | Editor Preferences) have been reorganized
          and improved with some new options. It is now possible to:
            - Change the editor background color.
            - Display line numbers.
            - Disable current line highlighting.
        . During a debug session, a new command "Debug | Step Asm" will execute
          a single step at assembly level whatever view is active.
        . Choice for the Ride6 keyboard scheme or Visual keyboard scheme.

        Fixes:

        . Fixed crash when removing editor lines with breakpoints.
        . Project components are reprocessed upon build in order to check for
          missing files.
        . Fixed problem of delay when opening "Add Watch" dialog box.
        . Editor content is saved before toggling between "Hex Mode" and
          "Text Mode"
        . Dropping files on a group will properly insert the files to the
          corresponding group.
        . Reset of the local options will only reset the options for the
          currently selected configuration.
        . Syntax highlighting was sometimes erroneous for files opened through
          clicking on an error tag.
        . RFlasher7 automatically reloads the last loaded application upon
          startup.
        . Script timeout corrections.
        . "Step" commands were sometimes erroneous when debugging Hex or Binary
          applications.


    Ride7 7.28.10.0075 (Released 2010/05/25)
    ----------------------------------------

        Improvements:

        . Ride7 will automatically call jscript event handlers defined in
          Scripts\events.js
        . Trace of expressions in simulation mode.
        . Projects are now saved upon modification.
        . Displays the number of executed cycles in simulation mode.
        . Integrates 8051 development kit.


    Ride7 7.26.09.0351 (Released 2010/01/15)
    ----------------------------------------

        Improvements:

        . Some keyboard shortcuts were not availaible from the disassembly
          view.
        . New scripting functionalities for automating Ride7 (build and debug
          processes).
        . A "Cancel Build" command is now available to force a failing build
          process to terminate.
        . When opening projects, Ride7 now checks for missing files and displays
          a status information.
        . Improved speed in handling big projects.
        . include files are displayed only with the filename part.
        . projects are saved before build.
        . The editor will not change the order of the tabbed windows from one
          session to another.
        . It is now possible to compile a standalone file (not in a project)
          directly from its popup menu.
        . The user can build and debug a standalone source file without having
          to create a project.


        Fixes:

        . The process of loading Binary and Hex applications has been enhanced.
        . Script errors are now handled by Ride7 (not directlry reported to the
          user).
        . Printing after a print preview could generate a system fault.
        . RLink errors aborting the debug process could generate a Protection
          Fault.


    Ride7 7.24.09.0251 (Released 2009/09/08)
    ----------------------------------------

        Fixes:

        . Application Option|Directories|Include path does not change
          the order of the path anymore.
        . Project management: Opening large projects has been speed up.
        . Changing a project directory could cause failures during project
          build. This issue has been fixed.
        . The display of union variables has been corrected.
        . The display of peripherals data was not properly updated during the
          execution of the application. This issue has been fixed.


    Ride7 7.22.09.0203 (Released 2009/07/24)
    ----------------------------------------

         Fixes:

        . Build speed optimization: The dependencies database has been optimized
          so that build speed is better on large projects.
        . The RKit was not functional if not installed in a directory wich
          finishes by the \Ride\ component. The installer now takes care of this
          specific requirement, and forbids installation in an unappropriate
          path.
        . Three MFC dll needed were not installed.
        . The installation file is not an .msi file.
          We provide a .exe file so it can be right click and executed as
          administrator when working on Vista. This avoid a lot of issues
          concerning software activation and debug.


    Ride7 7.20.09.0139 (Released 2009/05/20)
    ----------------------------------------

        Improvements:

        . The installer technology has been improved, and is now based on Wix.
        . The derivatives can now be selected in families/subfamilies during
          creation of a new project.

        Fixes:

        . In some crash cases, the keyboard and menu configuration could get
          lost, resulting in keyboard shortcuts to be unusable.


    Ride7 7.18.09.03 (Released 2009/04/02)
    --------------------------------------

        Improvements:

        . It is not possible to create a project with an empty target anymore.

        Fixes:

        . Ride7 has been enhanced in order to handle large projects faster.
        . In previous Ride7 versions, system errors during debug sessions
          (such as RLink disconnection) could leave some debug windows open
          even after the debug mode was left.
        . Fixed the management of some errors that could leave some memory
          leaks.
        . Ride7 Installation was requiring some useless ODBC components, which
          are not installed anymore.


    Ride7 7.14.0001 (Released 2008/10/24)
    -------------------------------------

        . Syntax highlighting was sometimes disappearing. This has been
          corrected.
        . When opening a file in the list of most recently used and the file was
           nonexistent, Ride was crashing. This has been fixed.
        . The trace pane has been rewritten to avoid some crashes when resizing.
          The zoom in/out functions have been implemented.
        . Display of arrays in the watch debugging pane has been improved for
          better readability.
        . The documentation files are now opened in an external instance of
          Acrobat Reader, for better readability and ease of use.

    -------------------------------------

        New target microcontrollers:

        . STM8S microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics
        . ST7FOX microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics, including automatic
          RC oscillator calibration using RLink

        Improvements:

        . Updated RLink driver allows operation on Windows Vista 64-bit
          platforms.
        . Global variables are not initialized by default when using RKit-STM8.
          Globals were initialized by default in previous versions.
        . Updated STM8 (ST7) Compiler, Linker and Assembler documentation.
        . REva v3 documentation.
