Better Mac OS X experience

This release is based on the latest version of Eclipse platform – Eclipse Juno. Among other things this also brings the following improvements on Mac OS X:

  • Self-contained .app bundle that can be placed in Applications folder and which also plays well with Launchpad application launcher.
  • Full-screen mode. This is very handy for getting extra screen space.
  • Support for retina display.

Custom icon categories

Previous release added support for custom icons. This release improves it by adding support for icon categories. Icon packs (folders with icons), e.g. assets/SocialIcons, assets/WindowsPhone/icons, are now exposed under different tabs in icon selection dialog. This makes finding the needed icon much easier:

  • Fixed marquee selection tool (F4)

Updating
