ErlyBird 0.15.2 Released - An Erlang IDE based on NetBeans

I'm pleased to announce ErlyBird 0.15.2, an Erlang IDE based on NetBeans. This is an important feature release in size of 17.9M.

CHANGELOG:

• Supported OTP/Erlang R12B new syntax.
• A new Emacs standard color theme.
• Fixed some formatter bugs.
• Better syntax error message.
• Various bugs fixes.

To switch color theme, open [Tools]->[Options], click on 'Fonts & Colors', choose 'Profile' drop-down box.

Java JRE 5.0+ is required.

To download, please go to: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=192439

To install:

1. Unzip erlybird-bin-0.15.2-ide.zip to somewhere.
2. Make sure 'erl.exe' or 'erl' is under your environment path
3. For Windows user, execute 'bin/erlybird.exe'. For *nix user, 'bin/erlybird'.
4. Check/set your OTP path. From [Tools]->[Options], click on 'Erlang', then 'Erlang Installation' tab, fill in the full path of your 'erl.exe' or 'erl' file. For instance: "C:/erl/bin/erl.exe"
5. The default -Xmx option for jvm is set to 256M, ErlyBird now works good with less memory, such as -Xmx128M. If you want to increase/decrease it, please open the config file that is located at etc/erlybird.conf, set -J-Xmx of 'default_options'.

When run ErlyBird first time, the OTP libs will be indexed. The indexing time varies from 10 to 30 minutes deponding on your computer.

Notice: If you have previous version ErlyBird installed, it's recommended to delete the old cache files which are located at:

• *nix: "${HOME}/.erlybird/dev"
• mac os x: "${HOME}/Library/Application Support/erlybird/dev"
• windows: "C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\.erlybird\dev" or some where

The status of ErlyBird is still Alpha, feedbacks and bug reports are welcome.
