I doubt that. See Michael's, Dodi's and my mails.

Which ones?<br>
<br>
There are many mails from 2 Michaels...<br>

Michael Van Canneyt wrote a mail, that I am not sure what exactly
he meant was not needed by less experienced users.<br>

But this new page only makes sense when you use different build
modes: <br>
For build modes, I think it is an elegant solution that lets you
see in one glance, what options are used in the various modes. <br>
<br>
But build modes I consider something that only experts or
powerusers will use, those who do many builds for different
targets/platforms. <br>

build modes here are in context of target/platform. Looking at the
last statement, I am not sure this includes/excludes debug/release<br>

"This" the new page, or build modes ?<br>

This old interface already had build modes. <br>
<br>
Maybe Michael can clarify.<br>

This again leaves the question if it is just the new features, or
would include a pre-defined debug/release build mode.<br>
<br>
<br>
In fact a debug/release build mode might help *some* (probably not a
huge amount, but some) people, when it comes to the size of the
exe.... <br>
