Compiler:

All default compiler options (flag checkboxes, regexes, file extensions, etc) are stored in XML.
(Optional) warning messages if multiple compiler options are unwise to use together (but still legal).
Automatic disabling of mutually exclusive compiler options.
Options to add, edit, and remove compiler flag checkboxes through the GUI.
Compiler options are saved back to XML if they are modified (in <user_data>/CodeBlocks/compilers); the resulting files can be shared.
Dynamic loading of pure XML defined compilers (simple auto-detection routines available).
Automatically filter C and C++ exclusive flags.
New compiler interfaces defined for: LLVM Clang, IAR ARM, Keil C51, and IAR ICC8051.
Add registry based autodetection of TDM-GCC.
Make the gcc compiler be a bit more robust, when making static libraries.
Don’t clear logs before run.

Code Completion:

Fix several crashes.
Fix several parsing bugs.
Add pseudo semantic highlight feature - recognises class members and styles them differently (disabled by default).
Don’t place the calltip outside of the editor window (this should be modified to not place it outside the monitor, instead).
Don’t place the calltip over the cursor.
