What has changed in Cube IDE v1.7?

[PHolt.1]

I have frozen my project on v1.6.1, for good reasons because I don't want new libraries; the existing ones are already massively bloated and full of bugs 🙂

Have they fixed bugs like

• cannot delete the .elf file (the STLINK debugger is grabbing it - already posted here)
• frequently, a Project clean/Build has to be done when files are edited externally

(Despite the filename, this contains the v1.7.0 release notes.)

[PHolt.1]

They don't list the above bugs.

There is another bug, reproduced across very different hardware: during compilation, a lot of the console output is missing, and it looks like it is generated using a white font! The text is there because if you swipe the blank space and copy/paste into say Notepad, you see the text.
