7.1 New Features


Understand AI

Our new AI tool provides detailed analysis and explanations of your code, highlighting potential issues and suggesting improvements. It simplifies complex code structures, making it easier for you to grasp the logic and flow of your programs. Access our new AI tool by clicking the sparkle icon in the top right corner of the editor window or with the Und AI command.


Virtual Debugger

Our virtual debugger lets you step through code, offering a clear view of execution stages. It's essential for trying out different scenarios and edge cases. Access the debugger by right clicking on a function name and selecting Virtual Debugger from the list of options.


Extended Graph Customization

Click graph nodes to get a preview and AI summary of the code, or drag to move and shape the graph. The right side of the graph now shows extra options to fully customize your graphs.
