There are two major improvements in the RIDE 0.40. First, a plain text editor was added to enable editing whole file at a time (issue 899). Second, it is now possible to write plain text files so that columns are aligned according to headers (issue 903). This supports writing data-driven tests with RIDE more efficiently. In addition, files written in HTML and TSV formats are now cleaner.

Some other improvements and bug fixes are included, all of which are listed in the table below.

ID Type Priority Summary
Issue 899 Defect High Renaming a dirty Test Suite, gets its file deleted
Issue 903 Enhancement High Improved data formatting when saving
Issue 904 Enhancement High Support for editing test data in plain text format
Issue 735 Defect Medium Using # character to comment rows collapses the commented row on next startup
Issue 876 Defect Medium Bug in testrunner plugin, module SocketListener.py
Issue 892 Defect Medium RIDE cannot create a new top level suite file
Issue 893 Defect Medium RIDE - Problems in multiuser environment due to hard-coded port no.

Altogether 9 issues.
