S60 Open to new features

One of the things we have heard about the last couple Carbide releases is how much better the code navigation features have become. Most of those rely on the C++ code indexer built into CDT so the better the indexer gets the better all the code navigation features perform.

While our team tests these features and has fixed a few bugs most of the recent improvement is due to work by other committers on the CDT project. Markus Schorn at Wind River has lead the great improvement in the CDT indexer over the past couple releases and Andrew Ferguson at Symbian has addressed a lot of issues that effect Carbide.c++ users in particular.

The CDT C++ indexer code isn’t easy to just pick up and play around with so there aren’t a lot of people with the skills and experience to work on improvements. So we’re very happy Andrew’s work on CDT has continued: he’s fixed over a dozen bugs in CDT 5.0.x that we’ll be using in the upcoming Carbide 2.0 release. You can see the details by searching the Eclipse bugzilla. Thanks Andrew.
