Hello!
I'd like to suggest a new menu item: "Build Release" under "Execute". Action: build a release executable, without any or with minimum debug info. I think it's a more intelligent way than the current "build mode". The IDE may always build debug mode, except under "Build Release".
Also, in "Project Options", under "Compiler Options", a new item: "Release", with release-specific options, such as an optional "Release path" to store release builds, and the option to include version number to executable's file name. So the "Build modes" may be excluded.
