New C7 release

SoftVelocity has released C7 build 4749 to CSP program participants. This one has a somewhat shorter list of bug fixes, and the newsgroup also seems somewhat quieter than after previous releases (although I haven't quantified this). I take all of this as a positive sign, although I note that the embeditor error handling code still isn't complete. At this point I'm not seeing anything significantly new about build 4749 (other than that a bunch of stuff has been fixed), and at this point I'm not planning a report.

Well, actually there is this one item in the change document regarding multi-version support:

FEATURE: The IDE now notifies you when you open a solution using a different Clarion version than is currently selected. You can choose to open in the version the solution was last opened in or the currently selected version.

We're also supposed to get a new Clarion# build next week. That will be welcome, as it's been over three months since the last one. The next Clarion# release will have at least some level of .NET 3.5 support (and keep in mind that 3.5 is 2.0 plus extensions, so you can use Clarion# now with 3.5 provided you're only using the 2.0 classes).
