Source control change logs will be automatically carried over to the new branch when a workspace is converted to a solution.
This reduces manual work during conversion and helps preserve change-log continuity for users moving from workspaces to solutions.
PowerBuilder 2025 R2 introduces several improvements related to solution build 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%.
