Hello Pythonistas,

I just uploaded eric 24.1. It fixes some bugs and adds these new features.

  * General
      o Changed debug logging to be directed to a debug log file
        `eric7_debug.txt` in the `.eric7` directory.
  * Code Style Checker
      o Updated these checkers to support more cases.
          + Logging
          + Miscellaneous
          + Simplify
      o Extended the documentation style checker to check the tag
        sequence and the use of deprecated tags (eric doc style).
  * Editor
      o Added the capability to comment/uncomment/toggle comment for
        languages that do not support single line comments (e.g. HTML
        uses `<!--` and `-->`.
      o Added the capability to search & replace strings containing
        escape codes (like `\n`).
      o Introduced a configurable timeout after which the quick search
        text occurrences are highlighted (if this function is activated).
  * File Browser
      o Added context menu entries to show the directory path of an item
        in an external file manager.
  * Find In Files
      o Added the capability to search & replace strings containing
        escape codes (like `\n`).
  * Multiproject
      o Added the capability to indicate externally removed projects and
        actions to clear them out.
  * Project Browser
      o Added context menu entries to show the directory path of an item
        in an external file manager.
      o Added an entry to the background context menu to show the
        project directory in an external file manager.
  * Testing
      o Extended the testing dialog to allow filtering of the result
        list based on the result status.
      o Extended the testing dialog to allow to perform a discovery run
        only and just perform selected test cases of this list.
      o Extended the testing dialog to allow to perform the test with
        debugger support (only if the dialog was started from within
        eric IDE).
  * Viewmanager
      o Added `Close Tabs to the Left` and `Close Tabs to the Right`
        context menu entries to the tabview view manager.
      o Added `Close Editors Above` and `Close Editors Below` context
        menu entries to the listspace view manager.
  * Virtual Environments
      o Added the capability to search for unregistered Python
        interpreters in order to create an environment entry for those
        selected by the user.
  * Third Party packages
      o Upgraded pip-licenses to version 4.3.3.
      o Upgraded pycodestyle to version 2.11.1.

It is available via the eric web site or PyPI.
