This update includes many IDE improvements and other improvements:

  • Find all references, quick search and find subs / modules tool windows were rewritten and are now syntax colored, the text is selectable and you can jump directly to the selected position:

Hi Erel,
I never received an email about Beta #2. I did receive an email about Beta#1 on the 11th.
Thank you,
Tim.

When i downloaded the 9.80 Beta #2, Windows 10 took a long time(> 60 secs) to open up the downloaded file. I only have Windows Defender as the Anti-virus. Otherwise perfect. Great product about to get better!
