The main focus of this update is some long awaited improvements to the bundle editor. It is now far easier to create your own language syntaxes and preferences. You could do it before, but you had to fuddle directly with the xml files. Now you can create and edit them directly in the bundle editor in the pretty userfriendly JSON format.

There are also loads of bugfixes in this update. Thanks to all who have sent bug reports and helped me out.
  • You can now edit Languages and Preferences in the Bundle Editor (in JSON format).

  • The Bundle Editor can now be kept open while you work in the main editor. If you have made changes in the bundle editor, there might be a slight pause when you switch to the main editor (reparsing the bundles).

  • When completing (ctrl-space) in front of a punctuation character, it will now suggest all other words in in the document that follows same punctuation char.

  • When opening an empty file, encoding will be set to the user defined default.

  • Fixed use of margins in Page Setup.

  • Fixed parsing of Actionscript 3 syntax.

  • Fixed jumping text on drag'n'drop.

  • Lots of minor bugfixes.

Awesome release. The updates to the bundle editor are great. The ctrl-space thing is inspired too. Thanks!

Note, anyone working with the new JSON syntax might want to pop open the bundle manager and install the JSON bundle.

Might be a good idea to make sure you kill any strangler processes of e in the background (right click on task bar -> task manager, go to the processes tab and sort by name, end any processes that are 'e.exe'). Vista, as well as XP and virtually every other Windows OS locks loaded executables to prevent them from being written to.

Also! Excellent new update. I'm happy to say since 1.0.19 I've had the exact same stability in Vista x64 and XP SP2, which is a terrific thing Very Happy

Bravo!

I absolutely love this new release!

Everything works out of the box for me, and I didn't have problem editing a couple of files bigger than 2MB. Of course, some people will think 2MB is not "big", but actually I've never seen a source file, at least one correctly modularized, grow bigger than a few kB. BTW, these 2MB files I'm talking about were Apache logs, which didn't show any kind of syntax highlighting, so that might have something to do with the performance.

My only pet-peeve now is Ctrl-Tab behavior. I'd rather have an option to enable 'naive' tab-switching, as sometimes it gets quite confusing. I'll add it to the bug tracker.

Cheers,
David

every now and then, the last line of a paragraph does not render. unfortunately, it is not easy to reproduce or i would detail the steps. seems to happen with MultiMarkdown and wordwrap. it has happened a few times since the new rendering engine was put in even with this latest version. the workaround is to restart e. the file's content is not affected on save.
