PowerBuilder 2025 R2 introduces several improvements and optimizations related to solution management and performance:
-
The IDE no longer automatically performs incremental builds when running or debugging applications in a solution. Developers can configure this behavior in Tools > System Options > Workspace/Solution > Disable auto incremental build when running/debugging.
-
When deploying applications, the output window now includes details about skipped PBDs and summary statistics of successful, failed, and skipped PBDs. When auto incremental build is enabled, additional timing and performance information will be displayed in the output window.
-
Memory consumption has been optimized when opening large solutions in the IDE. The improvement varies depending on the size and complexity of the application - for large solutions (over 10,000 objects), memory usage may be reduced by up to 50%.
-
Fixed multiple issues in the IDE and compiler to improve stability and reliability. Please check fixed bug list for details.
