Clarion Assistant v5.0 (Preview)
Pre-releasePreview edition. v5.0 is an early look for developers to test — the headline features below work but are not yet feature-complete. Feedback welcome.
The headline of v5.0 is the CA Embeditor and its companion CA Data Pad.
CA Embeditor — right-click a procedure to open it instantly
Right-click any procedure in the Clarion application tree and choose Open in CA Embeditor — it opens directly in a fast Monaco/WebView2 editor, no Tools-menu or picker round-trip.
- One-click from the app tree — the procedure you click is the one that opens.
- Multiple procedures as tabs — each opens in its own CA Embeditor tab.
- Classic entry points still work — Tools → CA Embeditor (open procedures)… and the CA Embeditor toolbar button.
CA Data Pad
A docked pad (Tools → CA Data Pad or Ctrl+Alt+D) that follows the active CA Embeditor tab and shows the data behind the procedure you're editing:
- Local, Module & Global Data
- Declared Tables & Other Files — with their Keys, Columns, and Relations
Renamed
Modern Embeditor / Modern Data → CA Embeditor / CA Data.
Also in this build
- LSP redirection handshake fix (PR #37, @msarson) — the language server now resolves the project
.redcorrectly and loads projects (previously loaded zero), fixing cross-file LSP features.
