Patch PE83-2112222
------------------

Platforms: Windows

* Fixed a problem with losing parens on nested exponent operators
  when compiling a program.

  Eloquence uses a right hand priority for the exponent operator.
  So 2^3^4 is understood as 2^(3^4). Parenthesis may be used to
  specify a different priority, For example, (2^3)^4.
  When compiling a program these parens were not output.
  Now parens with nested exponent operators are always output to
  minimize changes.

Patch PE83-2102180
------------------

Platforms: Windows

* Fixed an internal buffer overflow causing the IDE to unexpectedly
  abort without issuing an error message.

  This could happen when a text file was loaded containing lines
  longer than 8K (8192) characters.

  Exceeding the maximum line length is now detected when loading
  a text file. A warning message is issued, and the file is opened
  in read-only mode. This is to prevent that the file is modified
  and then saved accidentally.


Patch PE83-2002040
------------------

Platforms: Windows

* Opening the IDE Explorer could take a long time. To solve this,
  the network tree is now obtained in the background. The explorer
  may now be opened even if obtaining the network tree is still
  in progress.

* Variables window: Fixed unexpected behavior when the length of
  a string value exceeds ~4000 characters.

* Starting an "execute current window" debug session no longer
  requires that the program window is on top. Instead, the first
  open program window, top to bottom in the window hierarchy, is
  used. This, for example, allows to start a debug session when
  a tool window is on top.
