I'm happy to announce the release of version 1.03 of TSW phpCoder 2008. It comes with a new feature called test mappings:

Test mappings allow you to test one or several files using another URL than the standard, servermapped version. This is especially useful in these cases:

• When you're using URL rewriting and wish to call the re-written URL instead of the actual file
• When you wish to always test a file (or several files) with a set of parameters
• When you wish to debug include files - you can simply call the file that includes it instead of the actual file

Test mappings can be defined on projects, and they support wildcards, which allows you to map e.g. a whole directory of files to a specific URL. A specific toolbar button has been added to the preview toolbar, allowing you to manage test mappings for the active project, if any. Feedback on this new piece of functionality would be much appreciated.

Besides that, TSW phpCoder 2008 version 1.03 comes with the following changes:

• Notices from PHP during debugging will now be handled differently - instead of halting the execution, phpCoder will try to continue and the notice messages will be shown in the application statusbar
• The search/replace dialog was always visible when active, even if phpCoder had been minimized
• Better handling of &$parameters in function parameters
• Better support for constants in IntelliSense and other IntelliSense related improvements
• Fixed a problem with some characters in the error reporting tool introduced in the previous version

To upgrade, simply go to the phpCoder product page and download the application. Install it on top of the previous version, that should cause no problems. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us.
