What’s new in version 5.4.1
Fixed a bug where errors would sometimes not show as red underlines in the editor. The side bar would indicate an error on the line but it was impossible to see the error message.
Fixed a bug where the Windows MSI installer would allow multiple per-machine installations of different versions (in the same directory). BlueJ 5.4.1 will correctly remove all prior per-machine installations of earlier BlueJ versions.
Fixed a missing message in the Stride editor.
Fixed a bug where the right-click menu for the Java editor side bar (which let you turn on line numbers) would not appear on Windows.
Version 3.0.5 crashes on my Power Mac G5 1.6Ghz running OS X 10.5.8
I can run version 3.0.4 without any issues. Is anyone else having this problem ?
I know the binary is still PPC compatible.
Whenever I try to run a main() method, the program (BlueJ) doesn't respond and just freezes. I am realy concerned about this because if I can't get the Mac version of BlueJ working, I need to work on the PC version and that is the last thing I want to do; use a PC. Can somebody please give me any suggestion on this?
