+==What's new==
+{{seealso|[[Differences between standard ECMA-367 and Eiffel Software implementation|Differences between standard ECMA-367 and Eiffel Software implementation]] }}
+* EiffelStudio can use GCC on Windows for both 32-bit and 64-bit edition. We are using version 4.4.5 of gcc.
+* EiffelStudio can now parse UTF-8 source code. Unicode characters can be used in strings, comments and operators.
+* New tracing facility from Eiffel code. So far tracing was done at the runtime level by writing to the standard output. This new tracing facility let you execute some user defined Eiffel code at entry and exit of all routine calls. It can be used for logging purposes, or for test coverage.
+
+==Improvements==
+* Allowed for a qualified anchored type that has a standalone type qualifier to be used as a type of a once function *bug#16947, test#anchor050).
+
+==Changes==
+
+==Bug fixes==
+
+===Language issues===
+
+===Compiler issues===
+* Fixed various issues related to qualified anchored types: bug#16791 (test#anchor011), bug#16792 (test#incr352), bug#16793 (test#incr353), bug#16797 (test#anchor012), bug#16798 (test#anchor013), bug#16799 (test#anchor014), bug#16800 (test#anchor015), bug#16803 (test#anchor016), bug#16804 (test#anchor017), test#anchor018, bug#16819 (test#anchor019), bug#16821 (test#incr354), test#anchor020, test#anchor021, bug#16824 (test#anchor022), test#anchor023, bug#16839 (test#anchor024), test#anchor026, bug#16848 (test#anchor027), bug#16849, bug#16850 (test#attach030), bug#16855 (test#final089), bug#16849, bug#16867 (test#anchor028), bug#16868 (test#anchor029), bug#16876 (test#anchor031), bug#16878 (test#incr356), bug#16879 (test#anchor033), bug#16883 (test#anchor034), bug#16884 (test#anchor035), bug#16885 (test#anchor036), bug#16886 (test#anchor037), bug#16887 (test#anchor038), bug#16889 (test#incr358), bug#16890 (test#anchor040), bug#16893 (test#incr359), bug#16897 (test#anchor041), bug#16899 (test#incr362), bug#16900 (test#incr363), bug#16901 (test#incr364), bug#16902 (test#anchor043), bug#16943 (test#anchor047), bug#16944 (test#anchor048), bug#16945 (test#anchor049), bug#16959 (test#anchor052).
+* Fixed various issues related to once per object: test#once001, test#once002, test#once003, test#once004, test#once005, test#once006, test#once007, test#once008, test#once009, test#once010, test#once011, test#incr366, test#incr376, test#incr384.
+* Fixed various incrementality bugs: test#incr295 test#incr302 test#incr307 test#incr309 test#incr324 test#incr331 test#incr332 test#incr346 test#incr372 test#incr373 test#incr374. 
+* Fixed eweasel test#exec327 where evaluation an assertion the code being executed encounter the new check ... then ... end instruction it would reset some internal flags causing assertion within assertions to be checked when they should not.
+
+===Runtime/code generation issues===
+* When running an Eiffel system on Windows without assertion monitoring and you try to write a file that is not yet open, it will trigger an exception instead of silently exiting.
+* Fixed eweasel test#thread016 where we forget to protect arguments used for catcall checking.
+
+===Store/Retrieve issues===
+* Prevented the C storable to block all threads while waiting from data to be read in retrieved. Now we would wait for the storable type first before blocking all the other runtime threads. This fixes bug#16859.
+* Fixed bug#16946 and eweasel test#store032 where a corruption could occur if an object is stored in a different thread than the main thread.
