Projects: Crash when trying to reload a native dexed project not yet renamed to *.dprj.
DFMT commander: It didn't work anymore due to a recent bulk renaming using sed.
Editor: Possible range violation when allowing cursor past EOL.

3.7.003 Jan 2019 10:25
minor feature:
DUB projects: The Test project command doesn't require anymore to select manually the unittest config, thanks to a new option, autoSelectTestConfig, activated by default. To get the old behavior uncheck this option.
Projects, action "verify with dscanner": If the dscanner ini file exists in the project root directory then it used.
Dexed Projects and groups: They must have respectively the.dprj and.dgrp extensions. Manual update is necessary in the folder where settings are stored (MRU, libman entries) and in the projects folders.
Docking: when positions of tabs for tabbed widgets was set to something else than "top", the setting was not restored in the next session.
DUB project editor: The property editor remained disabled when creating a DUB project and if previously focused project was a SDL one.
Editor: Calltips displayed after typing a colon didn't skip nested calls that were complete.
Mini Explorer: Its filter didn't work anymore when selected folder is not at level 0.
Mini Explorer, Terminal, Linux: The arrow back icon had no effect when the terminal option that has for effect to follow the explorer was activated.
Project inspector: Folders were not displayed in group, which was sub standard.
Project inspector: Context menu item "Open file in editor" didn't work anymore when files were displayed as a tree instead of a list.
Projects: a case where sources could be opened twice.
Terminal, Linux: partial command had for effect to cancel the automatic cd when the widget was set to observe the projects, the documents, or the explorer.
From this version only Lazarus 2 can build Dexed and older versions can only be build with Lazarus 1.8.4.
From this version, under windows the binaries distributes here are 100 64 bits.
Backup your settings before starting this new version (because of #374 and #388).

3.6.2020 Oct 2018 14:19
minor feature:
GDB commander, Linux: Adding and deleting breakpoints was not supported anymore when using most recent GDB versions. The problem seems to have appeared from GDB 8.1.x but the is backward compatible with olders (7.x).
Symlist: Also show invariants.
Terminal, Linux: Added an option allowing to follow the path selected in the mini-explorer widget.
Terminal, Linux: The terminal frame, as hosted in its widget, blinked each time a popup got, which was annoying when using the completion menu much.
Mini explorer: File list was supposed to be always sorted since 3618258 (3.6.16), but this didn't work at all.
