- IncrediBuild now works on non-administrator accounts.
New Virtual Environment Module
IncrediBuild v2.40 features a completely re-written VE (Virtual Environment) module. The VE is responsible for remote/local compiler execution
and for file caching. The effects of this change are:
- Improved performance (up to a 20% additional improvement in performance).
- Improved robustness and stability (various issues related to environments with different operating systems, Managed Code builds and random "hanging"
compilation bars are now eliminated).
Build System Changes
- Xbox 360 builds are now supported.
- IncrediLink now includes subproject dependencies specified in the "Additional Dependencies" link setting.
- New "Do not create libraries" option (available only when IncrediLink is used) saves additional time by skipping link steps of
libraries whose object files are included in the EXE/DLL's link command line.
- Added a new option to the .ib_ini file that allows specification of compiler or link options to be added or removed from IncrediBuild command lines.
- ActiveX references and COM wrappers are now supported.
- Fixed bug that could cause incorrect calculation of $(FrameworkDir) when both VC7 and VC8 are installed.
- /base compiler option now allows use of environment variables.
- Fixed bug that caused a build failure when an empty RC output filename was specified.
- Fixed bug that could fail to build managed projects containing references to C# projects.
- The AltID Xbox command line option now supports multiple values.
- Fixed bug that could cause link command lines to fail for projects using MFC as a static library.
User Interface Changes
- Added new "Standalone Mode" that disables network distribution.
- Fixed Visual Studio IDE crash when double-clicking an error with a non-existent line number.
- Fixed Visual Studio IDE crash related to collapsed outlining.
- Fixed bug that caused the About screen to generate an error on Coordinator-only installations.
- Fixed bug that caused a "Project not found" error to be displayed when attempting to build projects using various profiling tools from the Visual
Studio IDE.
- CPU counters are now displayed along with Agent names on multi-CPU machines running a trial version.
- Configuration names in the Batch Build dialog are now sorted.
- Fixed bug that caused a "List index out of bounds" error in the Coordmonitor /StatusDump option.
- The "Allow disable" Coordinator option is now inaccessible in the view-only Coordinator display.
Other Changes

- File Cache sizes higher than 1Gb can now be specified.
- Fixed bug that sometimes caused the "Automatic compiler termination" option to miscalculate timeouts.
