It is now available for download from here. You can also refer to the build notes to learn more about the bugs fixed and other changes. Here's a quick summary of the changes:



SWT
  • Printing support added on GTK+: Printing support has been added to SWT for GTK+. It is important to note that you must be running with GTK+ 2.10 or newer in order for this support to be utilized.
  • Option to print line numbers added to StyledText: When printing a StyledText widget, line numbers can now be printed by setting the StyledTextPrintOptions.printLineNumbers field to true.

User Assistance
  • Help home button: The help window now has a Home button in the navigation toolbar, which brings you back to the initial product-configurable home page.
  • Help search term highlighting: If you open a help document as a result of a search, a new toggle button will appear in the toolbar allowing you to toggle the search term highlighting on and off, making the document easier to read.
  • Browse all references (J2SE 6 only): If you're running your Java application with a J2SE 6 virtual machine, you can browse all references to an object in the variables view. Select any object in the variables view, and choose All References from the context menu. A pop-up displays all objects referring to the selected object. You can expand each node in the tree to follow references to each object. You can inspect any object in the reference tree by selecting it and pressing Ctrl+Shift+I. This opens an inspect pop-up displaying the object's fields.
  • No more prompting: A user preference now controls whether you are prompted to confirm the deletion of all breakpoints in the workspace. The new preference is available on the Run/Debug preference page. As well, a check box in the confirmation dialog allows you to set the preference.
  • Auto format stack traces: Stack traces can be formatted automatically as you paste them into the Java stack trace console. An "Auto Format" toggle is available on the console tool bar.A user preference now controls whether you are prompted to confirm the deletion of all breakpoints in the workspace. The new preference is available on the Run/Debug preference page. As well, a check box in the confirmation dialog allows you to set the preference.
  • Double-click and Ctrl+Shift+B for all kinds of breakpoints: Double-clicking in the vertical ruler, or invoking Toggle Breakpoint (Ctrl+Shift+B), now creates an appropriate kind of breakpoint based on the cursor location - line breakpoint, watchpoint, method breakpoint, or class load breakpoint. To create a class load breakpoint, double click on the class declaration line.
