AIX C/C++		New Remote C/C++ Project Wizard, Import Remote C/C++ Project Wizard and Convert to Remote C/C++ Project Wizard should not finish until the last page of the wizard is visited. Remote C/C++ search showed duplicate results. Remote projects should have unique service configurations when these projects are imported all at once. Building a managed executable project with local location threw Core Exception and Null Pointer Exception. C/C++ Index is not run automatically when creating a new push-pull project with index after build option set off.
	SE47022	The properties file for the stack tracing tool can't be accessed properly by multiple users simultaneously on Windows systems.

Remote C/C++ search showed duplicate results. Remote projects should have unique service configurations when these projects are imported all at once.

IBM i		Code colouring issues after SEU move command in an SQLRPGLE member Copying a field containing attributes with indicators in Screen Designer was causing source to be deleted CL F1 help broken and RPGLE help goes to general help for F-Spec keywords
	SE27890	RPG Parser tokenizes D Spec continuations incorrectly
	SE45986	RPG Outline view does not appear due to forward slash ' / ' in Connection name
	SE45575	Attribute DSPATR(HI) not coloured properly in Screen Designer
	SE44744	Prefix command doesn't work when preference "Column Sensitive Editing" is enabled
	SE45905	Free form SQL Formatter removes + sign from statement
	SE45597	RPG OPM Syntax Checking locks up editor on copy/paste
	SE45659	Screen Designer leaves member locks after editor is closed
	SE45598	Windows keyword broken in Screen Designer
	SE45595	decimal field length not greyed out for field type character in Report Designer
	SE31546	after changing member type in RSE, editor not updated
	SE45016	The ordering of the library list associated with an IBM i connection is incorrect.
	SE46354	RDp 8 duplicate Lpex French shortcut
	SE46435	Design tab goes out of sync with source in Screen Designer after saving
	SE46657	LPEX compare incorrectly flags some matching lines as unmatched
	SE46760	Encoding conversion to UTF-16 in RDP i Projects corrupts source members
	SE47149	RDp crashes when editing SQLRPGLE with SQL syntax checking enabled
	SE46946	expansion of libraries, objects, members and jobs are now properly cancellable via the Progress View (in previous releases, queries would continue and eventually populate the view(s) after any attempt to cancel). The use of the EVFC9143 message to indicate that a query has taken too long has been deprecated. The method of cancelling through the Progress View is now the recommended way of dealing with long-running queries. The EVFC9143 message can be enabled through the preferences if the user still wishes to have this functionality.
	SE46852	RPGLE Program Verify crashes workbench on LIKE(a.b) in procedure
	SE47031	Sorting fields in Screen Designer displaces record level keywords when annotations exist
	SE46406	Focus changes to another record after inline editing of a text constant in Screen Designer
	SE47033	Java NPE on Outline View Refresh for RPG Mbr in i Proj with no associated lib
	SE45728	HOVERING OVER AN EXPRESSION CAUSES ERROR IN DEBUG VIEW.
	SE30843	the selected object in RSE expanded even when unrelated to the new resource being created
	SE47034	Push changes to iSeries generate error when using linked resources
Debugger		Added option to "always use the debugger editor" while debugging. The debugger editor is a read-only editor that, by default, only downloads a portion of the file being debugged, resulting in faster response time, especially over a slow network. It does not tokenise the text, and only highlights lines based on whether they're executable. Since the debugger editor is read-only and used only while debugging, the menus are simplified only to show debug actions. You find this option on the Run/Debug > Compiled Debug preference page.

Component	APAR	Description
AIX C/C++		Index aware features stopped working when project is renamed. Remote XL C/C++ Compiler property page throws errors for remote projects with local location. Cannot undefine environment variable on remote server via client. Mounted remote projects created using Import Remote C/C++ Projects wizard result in empty projects. Build Variables property page for managed build project throws Null Pointer Exception. Reduce the number of scanner discovery parsers running for remote C/C++ projects. Refresh after build should be cancellable. The following items require an AIX PTF update. Index aware features do not work when projects are created using the Import Remote C/C++ Projects wizard. Add template support for Remote Call Hierarchy view. Cancelling a build on AIX does not kill all child processes.
Linux C/C++		Index aware features stopped working when project is renamed. Remote XL C/C++ Compiler property page throws errors for remote projects with local location. Cannot undefine environment variable on remote server via client. Mounted remote projects created using Import Remote C/C++ Projects wizard result in empty projects. Build Variables property page for managed build project throws Null Pointer Exception. Reduce the number of scanner discovery parsers running for remote C/C++ projects. Refresh after build should be cancellable. The following items require an Linux PTF update. Index aware features do not work when projects are created using the Import Remote C/C++ Projects wizard. Add template support for Remote Call Hierarchy view.
AIX COBOL		Annotation not displayed for copybook not found for some invalid COPY statements High memory usage and latency when opening large COBOL files Cursor placed at right margin when opening COBOL files, have to scroll left to see source Could not determine whether to use AIX or IBM i parser when opening a .cbl file from a local location or generic project Remove button is not enabled in the Default Copybook Location Form Edit Default Copybook Location dialog is showing the hostname instead of the RSE connection name Preference for specifying the data connection to be used for SQL tooling was not present when shell-sharing with RDz AIX COBOL tooling could not find copybooks when the project's remote location's path contained symbolic links AIX COBOL tooling could not find copybooks for COPY statements that used environment variables or relied on SYSLIB The right margin line was not being drawn for COBOL files that were not in AIX COBOL projects.
IBM i		Program call beans should initialize invalid input parameters. When opening a member that doesn't exist from the RSE, an error message will now appear asking if the member should be created. When Migrating an i Project from a release prior to 7.5 the project would show up as "not migrated" if the i Project properties were modified immediately after migration. This has been fixed. An imported i project from a release prior to 7.5 would not migrate correctly if it was not copied into the workspace. This has been fixed. In Screen Designer, database reference fields no longer have to be fully qualified In Screen Designer, fields can now be sorted in the source based on their position. On Linux, a Verify action on RPGLE source was taking a long time due to communication layer delays. See http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21449350 for more information.
	SE45318	In Screen Designer, fields in a subfile should now be formatted correctly in Design and Preview modes
	SE45318	In Screen Designer, fields with relative positions should now be updated in Design and Preview modes if a field it depends on changes
	SE45204	Attribute was being deleted automatically from a database reference field in a PRTF member
	SE45369	Attributes tab in Properties view shows up blank after resolving database reference
	SE45203	RPG SQL Formatting in editor hangs on Block Shift Right
	SE45112	Editing SQLRPGLE source, the show block nesting treated an SQL SELECT statement as a new block.
	SE45811	Certain cache files kept getting larger on program verifies, and eventually the verify would hang.
	SE45475	RPG debug source not found
	SE44536	Debugger failed to stop after stepping with F5 or F6
