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.
* New functions are:
** List of elements of current system that would be affected by external resource changes. (External resource is limited to local files.)
** List of external resources that might be affected by changes of current system. (No limit of the type of external resources)
** Change acknowledgement.

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.
== 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 source:''' List of external resources that might be affected by changes of current system. (No limit of the type of external resources)
* '''Change acknowledgement:''' Acknowledgement of the changes that are aware of and will be ignored without any further actions.
== Typical Work Flows ==
=== Affected external resources caused by current system change ===
# Open a class, add an Information entry with an external source in the class.
# Start working on that class, save it at as you normally do on regular basis.
# Open Info tool, go to Affected source item in the left tree.
# Check the list of external resouces that might be affected by last changes, as shown in the sceen cast bellow.
# Acknowledge the changes if you find that the external resources do not need a change for last changes of current system.
Typical work flow to demo affected items in the system caused by external resource change:
=== 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.

==Graphical environment==
===What's new===
* A change analysis for documents in the [[Eiffel Information System]] where one can be notified of which documents to update when a class is modified, and conversely whenever a document is modified which classes might need updating.
===Improvements===
* Used void-safety settings of a target to list libraries that are compatible with it and provided more details on their void-safety status in the dialog for adding libraries.
===Changes===
* In [[AutoTest]], tests will be executed under the location of the Eiffel configuration file (ECF) and not in the Testing subdirectory of the EIFGENs directory.
===Bug fixes===

==Libraries==
===EiffelBase===
* Updated <e>TUPLE</e> and depending classes to separate entities.
* Updated <e>ROUTINE</e> and descendants to be usable for agents with separate targets.
* Fixed a comparison bug with <e>EQUALITY_TUPLE</e> which actually would only compare the last elements.
* Made <e>INTERNAL</e> obsolete, it is now replaced by two set of classes: a static introspection class and a dynamic one. The class that lets you examine the static content is <e>REFLECTOR</e>; most references of <e>INTERNAL</e> can easily be replaced by <e>REFLECTOR</e>. To inspect objects, you have a new set of classes starting with <e>REFLECTED_OBJECT</e>. This let you inspect objects with copy semantics without actually causing a copy each time you access it, unlike what was happening before with <e>INTERNAL<e/>.
* Fixed a reallocation bug in <e>SED_MEMORY_READER_WRITER</e> where if you retrieve a large chunk, we would not allocate enough memory.
* Added ability to store/retrieve expanded objects and objects with copy semantics with SED.
* Storables made using SED from version 6.6 or earlier of EiffelStudio not using the `is_for_fast_retrieval' setting won't be recoverable.
===EiffelStore===
* Do not remove trailing spaces for string content.
* Changed the type mapping for string objects to varchar instead of char at table allocation for ODBC.
===EiffelVision2===
* [[Revisions and Bug Fixes|Click here for EiffelVision2 release notes.]]
===WEL===
* Fixed a 64-bit truncation bug in the message dispatcher of WEL.
* Fixed a memory corruption that would occur when loading a 32-bit BMP image as a background image of a container in a 16-bit or lower display.
