Check out Joshua Jensen's latest endeavor, Pathstorm, at Cavebug Games (http://cavebug.com/).

Workspace Whiz is a powerful add-in for Visual Studio .NET 2002/2003/2005 and Visual C++ 6.  It was designed to improve developers' productivity by making available such features as:

• Incremental searching of files throughout the workspace, global include/source directories, or user specified directories.
• Incremental tag searches either by identifier name or a parent class or namespace.
• Switching between the declaration and definition of functions.
• Tag completion at the press of a key while typing.
• Powerful code templates.
• And a whole lot more...

As of version 4.0, Workspace Whiz is free software for non-commercial uses.  Those people using Workspace Whiz to develop software for profit (that includes commercial and shareware developers) need to purchase a license to use the software.

For the first time in 10 years, I'm doing two things I have avoided like the plague.  First, I'm charging for Workspace Whiz 4.0.  This primarily affects users moving to Visual Studio 2005, although there are a number of new features already in Workspace Whiz 4.0 and also slated to go in.

Second, I'm raising the price of Workspace Whiz to $25.  I can't really live without Workspace Whiz as I do development, and I'd drop $25 on it in a heartbeat.  Even at the increased price, it is still a great deal.  Because the price is still so low, there are not volume discounts.

This Release Candidate for Workspace Whiz 4.0 has the following changes:

• Fixed the partial match selection issue in the Find File dialog.
• Fixed opening of files without extensions.
• Fixed Header Flip key binding.
• Multiple wildcards in the file title of the Find File dialog was broken.  It is fixed now.
• In the Find File dialog, specifying filename;path searches for *\path*\filename.
• In the Find Tag dialog, specifying tag;parent;path does an additional path search for *\path* and the tag;parent.
• Fixed a tag searching bug where ;/f found empty parents, too.
• Fixed a tag searching bug where ;\ or ;file\ (for an exact match).
• Updated Ctags to get around a Lua parsing bug with lines like:

  local function ref(t) t.ref_counter = t.ref_counter + 1 end

• The evaluation dialog pops up for an unregistered version.  If you are a user fitting the description of using Workspace Whiz for non-commercial uses (according to the Workspace Whiz license), you may enter the following code to remove the evaluation dialog:
  • Registration Name: (Non-commercial usage license)
  • Registration Code: K9MYC-KRF4K-6RDCV-T1T49-1EJPC
