Recent Changes questions

Re: http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyRecentChanges

I don't see any activity after June 5. Should I look elsewhere to learn 
about 6.5 changes (in addition to New & Noteworthy and the Mercurial 
browser)? I just want to make sure I know about all the changes so that 
I can document them.

In regards to " Semantic Highlighting: Code rewritten; should be more 
efficient, some range bugs fixed. Tooltips on unused ranges." What is 
meant by "Tooltips on unused ranges"? I don't understand what that means.

We've probably just forgotten to keep it up to date. I'll take a look  
at my commit history and try to update it, and hopefully others can do  
the same. (Some of the stuff I've been working on, such as incremental  
parsing support, won't show up as a really user visible feature.)

It means that if you hover the mouse over an unused variable, there's  
a tooltip which says "Unused".  People have in the past asked what  
some of the colors/highlights mean. This is supposed to help with that  
case (and is consistent with what we do in the Java editor, which also  
have a tooltip for this case).

Yes, as Tor said, this is failure on developers' side ;). I'll try to 
update the page with my changes.
