+==What's new==
+* Added support for agents with targets of separate types.
+* Added new levels of void-safety: "conformance" that enables taking attachment marks into account when checking for conformance; "transitional" (previously "all") that checks almost all void-safety rules except those for unqualified agents and allows CAPs for preconditions and check instructions; "all" that checks all void-safety rules.
+
+==Improvements==
+* Fixed issue that causes many classes to be recompiled when not needed. 
+* Relaxed rules for using Current and unqualified agents when not all attributes are set to report VEVI errors only when qualified calls are involved in a sequence of unqualified calls and creation procedure calls ("targeted rules").
+
+==Changes==
+* The BIT type has been completely removed from libraries and runtime.
+
+==Bug fixes==
+
+===Language issues===
+N/A
+
+===Compiler issues===
+* Fixed error in processing replicated and selected attributes with self-initializing attribute bodies that could lead to reporting these attributes as uninitialized.
+* Fixed a bug that might result in a missing VEVI error for Result in a self-initializing attribute body.
+
+===SCOOP issues===
+* Fixed a bug that caused incorrect conformance checks for formal generics of different separate status.
+* Fixed a bug that might cause incorrect conformance checks for attachment and separateness status of a constrained formal generic parameter against a class type.
+* Fixed a C code generation bug that might cause an access on an invalid address during object test evaluation with an expression of a separate type.
+
+===Runtime/code generation issues===
+* Fixed a bug where the TYPE instance of a new generic derivation in the running system would be corrupted.
+
+===Store/Retrieve issues===
+* Fixed a bug in .NET where using the Eiffel serialization or marking objects would trigger computation of `hash_code' on Eiffel objects and thus changing their state.

 [[Image:information tool change analysis]]
 
-Within EiffelStudio 7.3, there will be new functions in Infomation tool to track changes on target or external resouce side, and potentially affected items on either side are listed.
+The information tool can track changes in an Eiffel system or external resources side, and potentially affected items on either side are listed.
 
 == Major Features ==
-* '''Affected target:''' List of elements of current system that would be affected by external resource changes. (External resource is limited to local files.)
+* '''Affected target:''' List of elements of the Eiffel system that would be affected by a change in external resources.
-* '''Affected source:''' List of external resources that might be affected by changes of current system. (No limit of the type of external resources)
+* '''Affected source:''' List of external resources that might be affected by changes in the Eiffel system.
-* '''Change acknowledgement:''' Acknowledgement of the changes that are aware of and will be ignored without any further actions.
+* '''Change acknowledgement:''' Acknowledgement of the changes which will be ignored with no further actions.

-# Check the list of external resouces that might be affected by last changes, as shown in the sceen cast bellow.
+# Check the list of external resources that might be affected by last changes.
-# Acknowledge the changes if you find that the external resources do not need a change for last changes of current system.
+# Acknowledge the changes once you have updated the external resource accordingly (possibly no change is required in the case of simple system changes).

+# Check the list of classes that might be affected by last changes of the external resource. (You may need to click on the "sweep the system now." button to get a full list if auto-sweeping is not enabled.)
+# Acknowledge the changes once you have updated the Eiffel system accordingly (possibly no change is required in the case of a simple edit in the external resource).
+
+== Current limitations ==
+The tracking of external resource changes is limited to external resources that are local files. If an external resource is a URL, it will not detect any potential changes done at that URL.
 
-=== Affected items in the system caused by external resource change ===
-# Open a class, add an Information entry with an external document (limited to local files in 7.3) in the class.
-# Start working on that document, save it at as you normally do on regular basis.
-# Open Info tool, go to Affected target in the left tree.
-# Check the list of targets that might be affected by last changes of the document. (You may need to click on the "sweep the system now." button to get a full list if auto-sweeping is not enabled.)
-# Acknowledge the changes if you find that current system does not need a change for last changes of the document.

+* EiffelStudio will now show you contracts of a feature when completing code, letting you quickly find out the proper way to call it
+* When debugging, moving the mouse pointer over an expression will cause the debugger to evaluate the expression and display its computation result in a tooltip.

+* Improved stretching of EV_PIXMAP on Windows by using the Color on Color stretching mode of the Win32 API StretchBlt.
