    <li>Added support for  <a href="pref_codescaner_01.htm">Knowledge Base Scanning</a>, the ability to scan code and detect possible  API issues related to a specific SDK, for example when porting to a new Touch UI SDK. For each SDK, specific porting information is defined as a set of rules specified in  XML files. CodeScanner can merge these into the existing set of CodeScanner rules for   scanning operations. The results are displayed in the <strong>Console</strong> view and as information markers  in source code.</li>
