Update
Wow, it's been a while since the last one!  But it's time again for an update.  I have yet to add sending of files, so integrated debugging will be a ways off, but I have gotten the emulator integrated into tiDE.  If you'd like to try it out, you can get the latest source code here (windows only).  Click on Tools>Options to modify the global settings (where you can specify a ROM file).  Then you can use Debug>Launch Emulator to run the emulator with that ROM file.  In addition, it's a great way to see the global settings implementation, which is generated at runtime (though not very well).  I'll improve upon that later as well.
In other news, you can still use it to create 8xp files and ROM files, though the assembler does not work perfectly.  If you'd like to try it out, I'd love to hear about your experiences trying to get your existing programs working.  You can currently make quite a bit with tiDE, you just can't debug it (though with this update, we are one step closer).

Update
This is a pretty major update, and quite a few things have been added since the last one.

Major Changes
*TI-Basic and Axe Support
   -This is pretty basic at the moment.  Only Tokenization is supported, and Axe doesn't compile, it just tokenizes into 8xp source.
*Code Completion
   -As you type, it will pull up a small window with all of the things you're probably about to type (type "Di" and the list includes "Disp"), and allows you to auto-complete it by pressing Enter.  This works for TI-Basic, Axe, and z80 Assembly
*Inline Documentation
   -This ties in with code completion.  For z80 assembly only (for now), hovering the mouse over text will give you information about it (opcodes give you size, clock speed, etc, and bcalls give you WikiTI documentation).  Also, code completion will give you documentation on z80 commands and bcalls as you type.
*Keyboard Customization
   -You can now customize keyboard shortcuts in tiDE however you like
*Latest News Feed
   -The Start Page (this shows up when you run tiDE) now shows a feed with recent posts from Omnimaga and Cemetech (either or both may be disabled) in addition to your recent projects.
*Global Settings Manager
   -I've added an extensible way for me to easily add user-controlled settings to tiDE, which automatically populate the Global Settings Dialog so you can edit them.
*Custom Tools
   -Parts of tiDE are still a bit buggy - you can use Custom Tools, however, to run external programs such as Spasm or WabbitEmu and still use the rest of tiDE's features
*Auto-Replacement
   -This is an optional feature for TI-Basic and Axe that allows you to automatically replace what you type, as you type it, with the appropriate symbols.  For instance, type "->" and it will automatically be converted to "→"
*Find and Replace
   -You can now use the Find and Replace dialog to search for and replace text.  This also has support for regular expressions.
*Source Insight
   -A system has been added to provide automatic insight into information about code.  This is most visible when expanding files in the solution explorer - you get a list of labels to jump directly to.
*Code Folding
   -You may now collapse items (in z80 assembly, these are labels, in TI-Basic, If-Then, While, Repeat, and For( loops) to their definitions, thus uncluttering your source code view.

Minor Changes
Fixed issue with $, fixed subversion, started converting assembler to run as standalone program, added context menu to code view, fixed signed literals, fixed bit instructions using IX/IY, added more comment syntaxes (// and /**/), added the ability for projects to have custom configuration by type (you can see this when creating a program - it prompts for a name)
