+===Language issues===
+N/A
+
+===Compiler issues===
+* Fixed bug#18309: Refreezing system with no changes causes all C compilations to be redone
+* Fixed eweasel test#valid278 and test#term188 (bug#18281 and bug#1984) by ensuring that the type used in the objectless call is full valid.
+
+===SCOOP issues===
+* Fixed eweasel test#scoop027 to ensure lock passing detection when logging on a chain creator during creation of a new processor.
+
+===Runtime/code generation issues===
+* Fixed bug#18299 and eweasel test#exec351 where copying nested expanded would cause a memory corruption.
+* Fixed eweasel test#thread024 where mutltithreaded projects could crash during a GC cycle.
+* Fixed an issue with EIF_INITIALIZE_AUX_THREAD that would not work properly in workbench mode because it forgot to initialize the interpreter side by calling `xinitint'.
+* Fixed a bug during debugging that causes a GC corruption due to the insertion of expanded objects located on the stack in the hector stack which is not allowed.

+[[Property:link_title|7.2]]
+[[Property:weight|11]]
+[[Property:uuid|579e75a9-9e50-41ba-70e1-211a092d0f87]]
+==Graphical environment==
+
+===What's new===
+* Added support for handling Unicode file names, environment variables, command line arguments and exception messages to your applications while preserving backward compatibility for existing code.
+
+===Improvements===
+* Usability improvements in the Eiffel Information System:
+** Find elements in deeper levels of referenced libraries
+** Try to locate links even if no system or cluster is specified
+** Better error messages
+* Allowed refactoring tool to rename a feature or a class by reusing an existing name.
+* Added support of class text containing Unicode characters when prettifying code.
+
+===Changes===
+* To support Unicode file names a new class <e>PATH</e> was added, and most libraries using a string to represent a file name have been updated to also take a <e>PATH</e> instance as argument.
+
+===Bug fixes===
+* Fixed a crash during debugging that would cause an exception in {ES_OBJECTS_TOOL_PANEL}.real_update.
+* Fixed a crash while trying to import preferences and no project was loaded yet.
+
+==Compiler==
+* Click [[Major changes between ISE Eiffel 7.1 and ISE Eiffel 7.2|here]] for the compiler release notes.
+
+==Libraries==
+
+===EiffelBase===
+* Added new <e>PATH</e> class to represent a Unicode path. In addition it offers many features to compose or decompose a path in multiple components.
+* <e>STRING</e>:
+** Migrated many queries only found in <e>STRING_8</e> or <e>STRING_32</e> into parent class <e>READABLE_STRING_GENERAL</e>, for example: <e>has</e>, <e>item</e>, <e>index_of</e>, <e>last_index_of</e>, ...
+** Added <e>prepend_substring</e> and <e>append_substring</e> for efficient insertion of substrings.
+** Replaced commands <e>tail</e> and <e>head</e> (which have been obsolete since 2001) with queries creating a copy of the current string with characters removed at the beginning or at the end.
+** Added caseless comparison of Unicode strings.
+* Added new <e>REPEATABLE</e> class.
+* Added <e>is_first</e> and <e>is_last</e> queries to iterators.
+* Fixed bug#18272 where <e>{MANAGED_POINTER}.copy</e>did not properly set <e>count</e> and thus yielded a postcondition violation when duplicating an instance.
+* Added new <e>ARGUMENTS_32</e> class to handle Unicode arguments.
+* Added new <e>UTF_CONVERTER</e> class to handle various Unicode encoding conversions.
+* Changed definition of <e>{DEBUG_OUTPUT}debug_output</e> to be <e>READABLE_STRING_GENERAL</e>, so that Unicode characters in the string representation of an object can be displayed in the EiffelStudio debugger.
+* Fixed an issue with `incorrect_mismatch' when it was applied to a HASH_TABLE whose keys are expanded but do not have a default value: the retrieved HASH_TABLE had one more item than the original one. It should fix eweasel test#table013.
+
+
+
+
+===EiffelStore===
+* Added support for Unicode SQL queries.
+* Added support for immutable strings.
+* Fixed an issue where passing a DECIMAL as an argument of a procedure did not set the scale (thus storing 1.00 when 100.00 was expected).
+* Added ability to perform a sequence of database select/update/delete as a transaction.
+* Fixed some limitations on the length of columns, errors and warnings.
+
+===EiffelVision2===
+* [[Revisions and Bug Fixes|Click here for EiffelVision2 release notes.]]
+
+===WEL===
+* Added support for Unicode file names.
+* Added support for properly handling UTF-16 surrogate pairs.
+* Fixed a bug in <e>WEL_FONT</e> for the computation of the size of a string that could cause string access on an invalid index; and removed unused calculations.
+* Fixed a bug in <e>WEL_GDIP_METAFILE</e> that would cause a C compilation error when compiled using GCC.
