Changes to debug mode

Starting from GBC version 5.00.04, the GBC default debug icons have been refactored. For applications run in debug mode, the "VM Logs", "Proxy Logs" and "start in GDC" icons have been removed from the Chromebar to the Debug page. This change applies to all front-ends, including GDC, GMA, and GMI. By clicking on the [Debug] AUI tree icon on the Chromebar, you can access the Debug page, which now has a folder with 3 tabs:
  • AUI tree
  • Proxy logs
  • VM logs
When running in a browser, you will find the "start in GDC icon" (play button) at the far right of the top bar in the Debug page. In the top bar, you will also find information about the Genero product versions used by GBC:
  • GBC version
  • Build number
  • GAS version
  • FGL version
