RED Robot Editor 0.7.6 released!

[Krzysztof Jozefowicz]

Hi

Last Friday we have released new RED Robot Editor - 0.7.6.

Binaries on GitHub: https://github.com/nokia/RED/releases (installable Eclipse feature and standalone editor)
Additionally you can use Eclipse Marketplace to install RED into existing Eclipse.
Users of RED can update it via "Check for update" button in Help menu.

Changes:

- ability to run robot scripts using custom scripts (bat,exe,sh etc.) so from now on you can wrap around your execution in pre-run and post run actions. More info in RED help or: https://github.com/nokia/RED/blob/master/red_help/user_guide/launching/local_launch_scripting.html.md
- with above, it is possible to execute debug of robot scripts with debug of python libs in one RED/Eclipse instance together with PyDev. More info in RED help or: https://github.com/nokia/RED/blob/master/red_help/user_guide/launching/robot_python_debug.html.md
- table editors can wrap cell content, by default wrapping is set to off. Option can be found under Preferences->Robot Framework->Editor->Folding
- content assist now shows resource names while typing in Settings section
- moved to Java 1.8, we do not support Java 1.7 anymore.
and many more.

Full list to changes: https://github.com/nokia/RED/blob/master/changelog.txt

Enjoy!

Hi I tried to upgrade the RED editor with version 0.7.6. After selecting the version and clicked 'NEXT', it shows the below error. What does it mean?

No repository found at jar:file:/C:/Java/RED-master%20(2).zip!/.

Can you provide exactly where and what have you clicked?

There are several ways to update RED:
1. click "Check for updates" from Help, this should guide you through update procedure

2. use update site.  from Help go to Install new software. click Add, to Location field use official RED update site: http://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/red-robot-editor/repository

3. If you use RED feature installed to Eclipse (when you use RED installed from feature,it will not have an "R" red icon in taskbar), you can install feature zip. Download RED feature from https://github.com/nokia/RED/releases/tag/0.7.6  (RED_feature_0.7.6.201703311041.zip) , go to Help -> Install new software -> Add -> Archive -> select downloaded RED_feature_0.7.6.201703311041.zip and proceed with update.

Option 1 and 2 are preferable.

Hi I followed the 1st option,

1. click "Check for updates" from Help, 

After selecting 'Check for updates'->From the window i selected RED - 0.7.6 and clicked NEXT and Finish.

Ok, seems like in the past you downloaded RED github clone and tried to installed it into Eclipse,since than Eclipse holds that file as update site.
You should remove it from Eclipse:
go to Window->Preferences->Install/Update->Available Software Site, locate and delete the one with location as c://Java... as on screen.

On the list,there should be also RED Update Site with location: http://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/red-robot-editor/repository

Ok It seems like eclipse has been updated with RED 0.7.6. But i don't know how to verify whether it is updated successfully. Where should i check this?
