• Version 6.4.6 EW23471 / IDE-1358
  Executing the context menu command "Force" on a vacant area in the "Forced Interrupt" window caused the debugger to exit unexpectedly. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.4.6 EW23330 / IDE-1356
  C-SPY could misinterpret certain flags in an ELF file and consider some read-only segments writable. This could interfere with memory integrity checks when launching a debug session. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.4.6 EW23451 / IDE-1354
  It is no longer possible in the Memory Configuration Window to enter an end address that is lower than the start address.

• Version 6.4.6 EW23454 / IDE-1353

• Version 6.4.4 EW23343 / IDE-1325
  A project in an initial stage (with missing source files) may crash the SourceBrowser when doing a Rebuild. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.4.2 EW23283 / IDE-1320
  The IDE could crash when double clicking a leaf in the code coverage window, due to a missing path in the editor view. This is now fixed.

• Version 6.4.2 EW23285 / IDE-1319
  The editor could become sluggish when operating on files located on a slow network drive. Speed has been improved by changing the behavior of file monitoring (i.e. detecting file changes made externally).

• Version 6.4.2 EW23324 / IDE-1318
  Input via a non-Latin keyboard (e.g. Cyrillic) was not working. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.3.17 EW22969 / IDE-1251
  Previously IAR Embedded Workbench did not remember a connection to some source control systems (for example ClearCase) between sessions. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.3.16 EW23009 / IDE-1252
  The Interrupt Log Summary window could show uninitialized content directly after a debugging session started. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.3.15 EW22923 / IDE-1236
  In some cases executing multiple Page Up commands in the Disassembly window could cause the code to be disassembled incorrectly. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.3.15 EW22868 / IDE-1235

• Version 6.3.15 EW22901 / IDE-1231
  The contents of the Statics window were not filtered when it was opened after the start of a debugging session. The correct contents were not displayed until after a window update (for example after executing a step command). This has been corrected.

• Version 6.3.14 EW22920 / IDE-1232
  The Source Browser failed to browse include files specified with an absolute path. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.3.14 EW22893 / IDE-1230
  The IAR Embedded Workbench integration with Subversion could misinterpret some Subversion version 1.7.x messages, which resulted in the internal error:

  "SVN: Internal Error: SVN_Status - did not find file".

  This has been corrected.

• Version 6.3.14 EW22861 / IDE-1222
  
  When forcing an interrupt in the simulator the pending flag was not set. It is now fixed.

• Version 6.3.12 EW22710 / IDE-1217
  If a path for the build log file contained an argument variable (like "$PROJ_DIR$) and the "Overwrite old file" option was selected, the log was still appended to the existing file. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.3.12 EW22795 / IDE-1215
  Release Note:
  Function-like macros with zero parameters caused the Source Browser to lose the definition following the macro.

  For example, after this definition:

  #define MACRO() macro_body

  x in the following lines would not be recognized the Source Browser:

  MACRO()
  int x;

  This has been corrected.

• Version 6.3.12 IDE-1214
  
  A problem in the debug server (CSpyServer.exe) has been fixed which would, under certain conditions, cause the debug server to be left hanging.

• Version 6.3.12 EW22784 / IDE-1210

• Version 6.3.2 EW22463 / IDE-1147
  The command 'Undo Checkout' in the Version Control System submenu for SCC did not work. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.3.1 EW22409 / IDE-1136
  If the Watch window was not already open, executing "Add to Watch" on a selection in the editor window just opened the Watch window without adding an entry to it. Now it does.

• Version 6.3.1 EW22401 / IDE-1133
  A build problem where argument variables, in some circumstances, were not expanded relative to the configuration actually being built has been corrected

• Version 6.3.0 EW23385 / IDE-1326
  If two or more IAR Embedded Workbench toolchains (for different microcontroller architectures) were installed in the same directory, and some of the toolchains were only available in English, launching IAR Embedded Workbench in a non-English language meant that the Information Center was not available for English-only toolchains. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.3.0 EW22342 / IDE-1123
  If two or more IAR Embedded Workbench toolchains (for different microcontroller architectures) were installed in the same directory, and some of the toolchains were only available in English, launching IAR Embedded Workbench in a non-English language meant that the Information Center was not available for English-only toolchains. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.1.6 EW22203 / IDE-1093
  Errors and warnings detected when building were reported as twice as many they really were. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.1.5 EW21536 / IDE-829
  The "Go to definition" command applied to a symbol which definition was located in a conditionally included header file could fail. This has been corrected.

• Version 6.1.3 EW22125 / IDE-1072
  In some cases, when using trace based data features, executing an application in the debugger over a long time could result in a "Runtime Error!" message and abrupt IAR Embedded Workbench termination. This no longer occurs.

• Version 6.1.0 EW21840 / IDE-1043
