Among the improvements, REALbasic 2005 Release 4 offers:

* REALbasic 2005 Release 4 supports Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux), an extension to the Linux kernel developed by the National
Security Agency (NSA). REALbasic 2005 Release 4 runs on and builds applications for SELinux distributions. The SELinux support in REALbasic 2005 Release 4 has been tested at a major U.S. defense contractor and is currently in use in high security environments.

* Improved support for External Items. The REALbasic IDE better locates external items which have been moved and ensures that external items get saved as they are updated.

* Numerous Code Editor improvements. Focus is better maintained within (various) editors as the user switches from one editor tab to the next. In addition, undo, code highlighting, IDE redraw and find and replace behaviors have been improved in response to user feedback.

* Debugger improvements. It is now possible to set and clear breakpoints directly from within the debugger tab. In addition, new remote debugger stubs are available which offer an improved interface and much faster transfer times.
