IDE
New Features
Added 'Path' entry to the information displayed when an Example Project is selected in the 'Choose a Project' panel. (74471)

Changes to the IDE's Debugger panel so it uses the same font size set for the Code Editor; and accesing the String debugger panel double clicking on the value row. Also other have been made to the String Debugger panel, removing the Edit Tab because now it is possible to set a new value for the string directly in the Text Tab, plus reorganizing the controls under the Text tab for a better use of the available space. (74437)
Added AllowPopover property to the Inspector Panel on DesktopChart to unify with WebChart. (74231)
Web: Layout editor preview won't render dark mode anymore in Web Projects, if the Supports Dark Mode option is turned off. (74807)

Fixed alignment of the Clear button in the Messages panel on macOS. (74769)
Code Editor Context Menu Go To scrolls the code editor to the matching line. (66260)
The Pragma reminder to implement interface methods no longer has an extra space and the #Pragma Error part honors the coding preference for Applies Standard Case. (74718)

The deprecated MSSQLServerDatabase plugin is no longer packaged in the Plugins folder. If your project still depends on this class, the plugin still exists in the Database Plugin Resources folder, found in the Extras folder. (74446)
Fixed an OutOfBoundException when adding an image to the IDE Navigator via drag & drop. (74602)
Debugger now displays generic Object variables again. (74548)

IDE
New Features

Also other have been made to the String Debugger panel, removing the Edit Tab because now it is possible to set a new value for the string directly in the Text Tab, plus reorganizing the controls under the Text tab for a better use of the available space. (74437)
Added AllowPopover property to the Inspector Panel on DesktopChart to unify with WebChart. (74231)
