What's new in e² studio 2023-04

Released on 20th April 2023

This page describes the main features for the e² studio 2023-04 application.

For features which are specific for the device families use the buttons to navigate below:

Home

Updated lighter user interface

To provide a cleaner and easier to use user interface the standard set of toolbars and buttons has been reduced.

The launchbar has also been removed from the e² studio user interface.

If you wish to restore toolbar buttons to your user interface then please visit the "Window->Perspective->Customize Perspective" to switch them back on.

Silently register detected toolchains

When e² studio is invoked in previous versions it would show the toolchain registration dialog on startup. In this version of e² studio this no longer happens and the toolchains are automatically registered.

If you need to modify this you can access it via the Help->Add Renesas Toolchains menu item. A rescan can be invoked from this dialog pressing the "Scan" button.

This dialog no longer appears on startup in 2023-04:
