The changes have been checked in, so you can start using them now if
you update src/ folder from the repository
(https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBraneStudio/commits/master). I also
added highlighting values in the Watch window that changed since the
previous evaluation. The next (packaged) version is not planned
earlier than the end of September.
