ronen-blumberg/FBEditor

FBEditor is a cross-platform integrated development environment for the FreeBASIC language, featuring a native Linux port alongside its existing Windows version. It provides core IDE capabilities including syntax highlighting, code folding, multi-file search, and a visual form designer for constructing Window9 GUI applications. The system also integrates an AI coding assistant via the Anthropic API and a GDB-based debugger for code execution and inspection.

This release ports FBEditor to Linux using the Avalonia UI framework, replacing the previous Windows-specific implementation. The new version includes a complete IDE interface with multi-tab editing, FreeBASIC syntax highlighting, code folding, and an integrated GDB debugger with visual breakpoint and execution-line indicators. It also features a visual Window9 form designer for creating GUI applications, an AI assistant chat panel, spell checking, and a settings window for configuring compiler paths and API keys.

This release adds an integrated AI chat assistant (AIChatManager) that connects to the Anthropic Claude API to help with FreeBASIC coding, including a new API key configuration path in Build Options. It introduces a full GDB debugger integration (GDBDebugger) supporting breakpoints, stepping, and variable inspection via the GDB/MI protocol. The build system (BuildSystem) and project manager (ProjectManager) now support Window9 forms projects, automatically injecting the correct compiler flags and include/library paths. Additionally, the editor gains a robust manual code folding engine (FoldingManager) and an improved code outline parser (CodeOutline) that handles FreeBASIC-specific constructs like constructors, destructors, and operators.

FBEditor v5.3.0 introduces a native Linux edition built on C\# and the Avalonia UI framework, providing feature parity with the Windows .NET Framework 4.8 version. Key new capabilities include a real-time spell checker (powered by NHunspell on Windows and WeCantSpell.Hunspell on Linux) that highlights errors in comments and string literals, and file association support allowing users to open .bas, .bi, and .w9form files directly from the OS. The release also includes significant Visual Form Designer improvements such as snap lines, rubber-band selection, and multi-gadget clipboard operations, alongside bug fixes for GDI resource leaks and debugger race conditions.

The Forms area now includes a complete Visual Form Designer (W9DesignerPanel, W9DesignerCanvas) that allows users to visually construct Window9 GUI applications by dragging and arranging gadgets on a canvas with grid snapping, multi-select, and undo/redo support. This is accompanied by a suite of new modal dialogs to support the IDE's expanded capabilities: BuildOptionsForm for configuring compiler, debug, and path settings; FindInFilesForm for multi-file text search with regex support; FindReplaceForm for editor find/replace operations; GoToLineForm for navigation; NewFromTemplateForm for project creation; and AboutForm for application information. These components collectively shift the Forms module from a simple collection of windows to the core visual development and configuration interface of the IDE.

This change adds a new Linux x64 build for FBEditor using .NET 10 and the Avalonia UI framework, while updating the existing Windows build to use .NET Framework 4.8 with updated dependencies. The new Linux project (FBEditor.Avalonia) targets net10.0 and relies on Avalonia 11.3.x for the UI, AvaloniaEdit for code editing, and WeCantSpell.Hunspell for spell-checking. The core library (FBEditor.Core) also targets net10.0, using Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.x and System.Text.Encoding.CodePages 9.0.x. The legacy Windows project (FBEditor.vbproj) remains on net48, using ScintillaNET 3.6.3, Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.3, and NHunspell 1.2.5554.16953.
