I’m pleased to announce the newest update to Castalia, my collection of Delphi IDE enhancements. This update includes several new features and major bugfixes:

* New: Ctrl+W selection expansion (http://www.twodesk.com/castalia/codingassistance.html#selectionexpansion)

* New: Automatic declared case correction (http://www.twodesk.com/castalia/codingassistance.html#casecorrection)

* New: Some refactorings now have a preview to show what the refactoring will do

* Improved: Local variable insertion (inline variable declaration and various refactorings) is more intelligent: If a variable declaration of the required type already exists, the new variable will be added to that declaration. If not, new variables are added at the end of the var section instead of the beginning.

* Improved: Structural highlighting is now much more tolerant of unmatched parenthesis or square brackets

* Fixed: Refactoring menu flickers

* Fixed: Code formatter mangles dynamic array types

* Fixed: “International” characters typed with “dead keys” don’t work in the code editor with Castalia installed.

* Additional small bugfixes and performance improvements
