Code Explorer Panel Discontinued in TestComplete 14

I just read the release notes on TestComplete 14 (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/general-info/whats-new.html) and am a bit puzzled about the discontinuation of the Code Explorer pane...

    Hello,

     

    Ok, there seems to be a confusion indeed. We are not going to improve the panel and will stop testing it in future versions of TestComplete to release resources for other testing tasks. However, there is no intention to remove it completely.

     

    We will delete the note about the panel's removal in the documentation to avoid further confusion.

...you say that the Code Explorer panel will not be removed, then why do the release notes state

 

"The panel will be removed in one of the future releases."

 

...?

 

losing this panel would not break the app, but i find it helpful.

    thanks for clarifying Dmitry_Nikolaev  i appreciate that.

    one question though, if you are not going to test the panel what good is keeping it in the app?
    (assuming it will eventually break)

    might as well just remove it, right?

      Hi,

       

      > (assuming it will eventually break)

      My understanding of 'we will not test' in the context of SmartBear is 'we will not test it extensively but will verify basic functionality and do simple corrections'.

      So I do not expect showstopping crashes.

       

      Just my expectation... :)
