Statical Supervision 1.0.1

Supervision produces an interactive and color-coded view of your C/AL object text source code.

Working on our next project, Statical Prism, we discovered a few bugs which have been fixed with this version of Supervision. For details, see the accumulated release notes below.

The target user group of Supervision is supporters, developers, architechts, code reviewers and consultants needing a deeper insight into code than is directly obtainable through the Microsoft Dynamics NAV C/SIDE environment.

Supervision takes as input a Microsoft Dynamics NAV object text file and produces as output a directory with richly color-coded, hyper-linked and highly interactive HTML files.

Our aim is for this tool to help C/AL code reviewers to better understand the code they wish to examine - be it their own code or the code of others. This can be useful in chasing defects, getting an understanding of a module unknown to the developer, for an architect to determine if guidelines are met, etc.

Please visit http://stati-cal.com/projects/supervision/ for further details.

Note: If you have a previous version of Supervision installed already, you may need to uninstall it first before running the installer.

Note: If you experience problems please make sure you are not generating the output to a network drive as this can cause issues both during processing and when browsing the HTML files (some browsers have stricter security for content from network drives which in turn prevent certain Javascript features from being used).

Statical Supervision is free and will remain free.

Below follow the accumulated release notes:
