Source Insight – version 4.0.0134
Source Insight
Version 4.0.0134 - December 10, 2023
Fix: Source Insight would crash if it was blocked by a firewall or proxy. This bug was introduced in build 4.0.0133. If you selected Help > Check for Updates it would crash. It might also crash after a period of time if it tried to connect to the update server in the background.
Changes in Previous 4.0.0133
New: The Relation Window now has Go-Back and Go-Forward buttons in the toolbar, which cycle through the history of items shown as the "root" of the Relation Window.
New: Relation Window: You can delete nodes from the relation tree. To remove a node from the display, select the node and right-click and select "Delete Node". This works in both the outline and graphical views. Note that recalculating the Relation window, or re-expanding the node will recreate the deleted nodes.
Change: Jump To Caller command now limits the results to references to the currently selected function that are actual function calls from other functions, not just references by name.
New: Jump To References command works like Jump To Caller, except it shows all references in a similar pop-up window. The default shortcut is CTRL+ALT+L. You can also invoke it from the right-click context menu or the popup toolbar.
Fix: Key combinations using the "Windows" key (which normally opens the Windows Start menu) was inserting bogus characters.
Fix: Comment Lines (and Toggle Comment Lines) could crash depending on how lines were selected before using the command.
Fix: Context Window Go-Back and Go-Forward buttons were not acting consistently, and the Context window title did not update to show the current symbol or file.
Fix: File Compare Window Options dialog: The Show Overview and Show Difference List options were reversed.

Source Insight
Version 4.0.0132 - October 17, 2023
New: There is a new Project > Recent Projects menu item so you can easily re-open a recently opened project. The Recent Projects menu item also appears in the right-click context menu if you click in the frame of the program.
New: The File > Recent Files list was increased from 20 to 30 files. You can also remove a file from the Recent Files list by holding down CTRL while selecting the file on the menu.
New: Zoom In (CTRL+SHIFT+>) and Zoom Out (CTRL+SHIFT+<) commands so you can increase or decrease the font size with a keystroke.
Fix: Token macros (preprocessor macros) were not expanded and applied when evaluating expressions in #if, #ifdef, #ifndef, or #elif preprocessor statements.
Fix: FTP panel was not listing files for some versions of the Microsoft IIS FTP server.
Fix: C++: The types implied by some smart ptr types were not being resolved correctly.
Change: Updated the code signing certificate.
Version 4.0.0131 Changes
New: Toggle Comment Lines command added (menu Edit > Special Edit > Toggle Comment Lines). The default keystroke is CTRL+7. This toggles the comment state of a selected block of lines. The block is considered commented if ALL lines in the block are already commented out.
Fix: Relation Window was always showing items for extern declarations of variables, even though the "External Variable" type was disabled in the Relation window symbol type setting.
Fix: C# ref struct was not parsed correctly.
Fix: Added support for old-style C function parameter declarations where function parameters are declared below the parameter list and before the opening curly brace. This is an option that is enabled by default. You can control it in Options > Preferences > Languages > Special.
Source Insight – version 4.0.0130
Source Insight
Version 4.0.0130 - August 21, 2023
Fix: C++ Scoped enums (enum class and enum struct) were not handled correctly by Lookup References and Jump To Definition.
Fix: C++ using enum statements were not recognized.
Fix: C/C++: Some forms of declaring pointers to functions where not recognized.
Fix: C/C++: When there was an extern declaration of a function inside another function, using Jump To Definition of the declared function did not work.
Fix: Import External Symbols: Importing from the INCLUDE path was truncating the path.
Fix: Using custom RegEx parsing with multiple patterns could record incorrect line positions of functions and symbols. This could cause the symbol pane on the left to show the wrong current function.
Fix: Context Window: Selecting an identifier and choosing Show in Relation Window was deactivating the Context window.
Fix: Crash could happen if re-indexing the symbol database and user cancels the re-index operation.
Fix: In some cases after re-parsing a project, the symbol database was not getting updated.
Fix: XML parser was not handling comments with embedded quotes correctly.
Fix: Popup toolbar now uses the same background color as the main toolbar.
Fix: Buffer overrun bugs fixed when typing in some panels to filter the list of symbols or files.
New: You can lock the main toolbar by selecting View > Toolbars > Lock Toolbar
Files are Read-Only
Symptom: Files you open in Source files are read-only.
In Source Insight, a file is read-only in the following cases:
- The file is part of a read-only project.
- The file is stored in a Backup folder.
- Windows reports that the file has the read-only attribute.
- The file is part of an "import" project created by selecting Project > Import External Symbols (for example, C/C++ standard header files).
- The file is part of a project that is also open in another running Source Insight instance.
Try this: select Project > Close Project. Then open the file and see if it is read-only. Note the file name is displayed with a ! mark if the file is read-only. If the file becomes read/write, then the project must be read-only.
In Source Insight, any file that is part of a read-only project is shown as read-only. A project is read-only if the project data file that ends in the .siproj extension is read-only. For example, if your project is named ABC, then locate the file "Documents\Source Insight 4.0\Projects\ABC\ABC.siproj" and check if it is marked read-only in Windows Explorer.
A project is also read-only if it is open in another running instance of Source Insight. Run Windows Task Manager and make sure there isn't another instance of Source Insight running.
Also, files that are stored in a Source Insight Backup folder are read-only. For example: if your project is called ABC, then the backup folder is "Documents\Source Insight 4.0\Projects\ABC\Backup". Source Insight treats those files as read-only.
Otherwise, if the file is read-only in Source Insight, then Windows must be reporting to Source Insight that the file has the read-only attribute for some reason. Please check if there is a problem with drive mounting, or the user access in Windows.

Source Insight
Version 4.0.0128 - April 28, 2023
Fix: The Lookup References window would not appear if the input cursor was on an blank line.
Fix: Special Edit > Upper/Lower/Toggle Case could occasionally crash.
Fix: When showing visible end-of-line marks, and using the Highlight-References feature, some end-of-line marks would rarely appear incorrectly with the "highlight reference" style formatting.
Fix: C++: Was not detecting function trailing return types.
Fix: Parse cache files were being bypassed in some situations during project-opening, resulting in slower performance.
Fix: The Ditto clipboard app was not working with Source Insight.
Fix: Misc. fixes to how some panels open and close when you activate them with a keyboard command.
Change: Toolbar buttons now activate various panels and move the input focus to the panel instead of just toggling them on and off.
Change: When a file is loaded with mixed end-of-line characters, you are prompted to fix it. Now there is a check box in the prompt to enable this automatic prompt or not. You can also set this prompt option in Options > Preferences > Files : Ask to fix inconsistent line endings.
Change: The bottom status bar now shows the current file's end-of-line character format in the lower right. You can double click or right-click on it to open the Normalize End Of Line command.
New: Reset Toolbar Layout (on View > Toolbars menu) resets the main toolbar layout to the default layout.
New: File Compare window: You can right-click on the left or right file and select Copy All Differences to Left or Copy All Differences to Right to copy all text differences to either left or right, making both files the same. This leaves change marks by each change in the main file window. This is undo-able.

Fix: Some symbol lookups were not working.
Fix: Limit recursive symbol lookups for symbols that have direct or indirect recursive definitions.
Fix: Crash when adding a large number of Edit Condition symbols to a project.
Fix: Performance improvement when a project contains a large number of conditional values set by Edit Condition.
Fix: Better error handling for exceeding limits with large projects.
Fix: In the Context window and the File Compare window, the overview would not close if you right-click on it and select 'Hide'.

Change: The Context window now shows the definitions of symbols selected in the File Compare window.
Change: The Relation window now shows results of symbols selected in the File Compare window.
Change: Performance improvement synchronizing projects by avoiding unnecessary project data writes.
Changes Minor changes to some toolbar buttons to work better on dark backgrounds.
Change: Source Insight Macro Language: The == and != operators now compare numbers differently. If both operands are numeric decimal or hex, then they are compared as numbers instead of as strings. The relational operators, such as <, <=, >, and >= already do this.
Deactivating the License
When you deactivate the license, it means that Source Insight can no longer be used on the computer. You are free to activate it again on the same computer, or a different computer.
Make sure you save the license serial number if you want to activate it again. Once you deactivate it, the license information is deleted from the computer.
To deactivate the currently installed license:
Run Source Insight. If it is already running, select Help > Manage LicenseIn the License Management window, select the option to deactivate the license on this machine:
Click Next and click Yes to confirm you want to deactivate it:
The following message will appear to tell you the license has been deactivated:
After you click OK, the License Manage window appears as though you have no license active, and you can either enter the license serial number again, or import a license file, or simply exit the program. The option to start a 30-day trial now will not work if you already used a trial license before.
Deactivating the License from the Command Line
You can also use the following command line to deactivate the current license instead of using the dialog boxes.
sourceinsight4.exe -reset-license
This will deactivate and delete the license on the computer. The next time Source Insight runs, it will prompt to activate the license. This option is effectively the same as selecting Help > Manage License and selecting "Deactivate license". If a network connection exists, it will inform the license server that the license has been deactivated.
Importing a License File
If you received an offline license file from us, use these instructions to import that license file into Source Insight. The offline license file lets you activate the license without a network connection.
We email the license file to you as an email attachment. Save the attached license file to your local drive or somewhere on your internal network that your computer can access.
Importing the License File
Run Source Insight. If it is already running, select Help > Manage LicenseIn the License Management window, select the option to import a license file:
Click Next and navigate to the license file you just saved, and open it.
If the license file is valid, it will be imported and your copy of Source Insight will now be activated. You should see this message:
