With version 4.6.1 I fixed a directory cache bug but also introduced a new one. Units in the DPR’s directory weren’t found anymore and the existing DCU file was used instead of recompiling the unit. In my tests I hadn’t cleared the DCU output directory and so the compiler always took the DCU from a former test, so I didn’t run into this bug while testing the code.
The changes to the directory cache that I did, make it a little bit slower because the directory cache is now rebuilt when the current directory changes instead of disabling relative paths what it did before.
Another patch that I’ve added improves the performance of the Delphi Editor’s undo operation, so it can compete with the large unit “contest” on http://delphitools.info/2011/12/29/synedit-performance-bragging-rights.

Changelog from 4.6.1 to 4.6.5 (2012-01-02)
- Fixed: Directory cache didn’t find units in the DPR’s directory anymore
- Added: Editor undo for a large undo operation is a lot faster
Nice! So how does BDS stack up against SynEdit now for large files?
I only patched the undo operation after the “replace all ‘end’ with ‘endd'” that took about 2 seconds. All other benchmarks stay the same.
With the IDE Fix Pack, IME the BDS is the fastest of all major IDEs.
It’s also very fast compared to most dedicated text editors, even those bragging for the “world’s fastest” and other titles. It’s main limitation is memory usage, when adding up what the BDS uses for itself, along with its start time (which means you can’t really use it as convenient utility to read huge log files f.i.). Maybe someday they’ll package the BDS editor as a component?
You could create a new “BareBones” registry hype where you remove almost every package.
You, Sir, are outstanding. Thanks for all your work that makes mine easier!
IDE Fix Pack 4.6.5 released version I fixed a directory cache bug but also introduced a new one.
How did you introduce a new bug into my directory cache?
