This update adds a major new feature: a Visual Diff. Just select "Compare Files.." from the File menu.

This is still an experimental feature, so expect some bugs. But I think that you will already find that it is far more precise in what changes it shows than most other diff tools, and you still have all the editor features available while diffing.

  • Added support for Visual Diff (still experimental).

  • When clicking in gutter to select full lines, always give focus to editor. [adamv]

  • Fix to show excluded files & dirs in project settings on first display. [adamv]

  • Fixed bracket pair regression. [adamv]

  • Symbol pane shortcut moved to "Ctrl-Alt-L". [adamv]

  • If the Symbol List is hidden, and you 'Go To Symbol', it will now close after selecting a symbol. [adamv]

  • Added menu command to Hide/Show HTML Command Output, with a hotkey of F12. [adamv]

  • Added undo to right-click menu. #3 [adamv]

  • Remove 'esc cancels snippet' behavior, which isn't present in TextMate and breaks the use of completions within snippets. [adamv]

  • Added 'Go to Tab..' popup (shortcut Ctrl-0) [adamv]

  • Move 'go to last active tab' to a separate command, so that control-(shift)-tab behave like Visual Studio. [adamv]

  • Add #s in recent files/projects menus, for keyboard access to first 9 items. #191 [adamv]

  • Use 2nd row in search panel for options, instead of a popup [adamv]

  • Show # of replacements made when doing 'Replace All' in the find panel. #39 [adamv]

Update:
I had simplified the build process to make it easier to make release builds from the source version, but it seems to be missing some optimizations. I have returned to the old build process, so the speed issues should be fixed.

I also removed the connection check that cause problems on some setups (it was unneeded anyway).

Bumped version to 1.0.37a.

BTW, this fixes the 'Project settings not showing excluded directories/files' bug. I know a lot of people were complaining about that (myself included).

Cheers

It's nice to see a new release. And one with a LOT of fixes.
However (i'm the guy to hate for reporting stuffs Very Happy ), i think we should have an option to enable/disable this behaviour:
Quote:
Remove 'esc cancels snippet' behavior, which isn't present in TextMate and breaks the use of completions within snippets. [adamv]


Because i have (and i'm sure i'm not the only one) some snippets based on that behaviour. For example, i have a html snippet to make my div's looking like this:
Code:
<div>

</div></className>


Well... nothing wrong here, but, i have some classe that i don't want to be mirrored (like clearfix, for example).

It's not a major problem (i think i will survive with this though), but would be nice if i can disable it.

However, the "go to tab popup" is.... WOW! I usually have over 10 tabs opened, so this would be VERY helpfully !

GOOD job guys!

EDIT:
As a side note (and as an idea too): when CTRL+L, i think the symbol list should close on ESC press Wink

EDIT 2:
The compare files works great (at least from what i tested). However, would be nice to be able to compare two files that are already opened. Eg: two FTP files.

This change is deeply disappointing to me Sad I can appreciate that Ctrl+Alt+0 will now exclusively switch between last tabs used - that part is nice. But mindlessly hitting Ctrl+Tab to switch to the last used tab is something I have used extensively in the past. And now I have to train myself that the shortcut changed from a simple one-handed key combo to a more complicated 2 hand combo: Ctrl+Alt+0 (perhaps Ctrl+Alt+Tab would have been better?). I have never done this before with E but I will be seriously contemplating hanging back on 1.0.36 for this one... hoping for keyboard shortcut customization soon.

Regardless, thanks for the updates and bug fixes.

visual diff crashes for me with every file i try it, very experimental Wink. i would like to see more focus on fixing stuff, improving the look&feel, performance etc...

i also have to agree with justin, i liked the old way tab switching worked.

i cannot understand why someone would change that behavior after 1.0 got released. it breaks how me, and i bet many other people, work with e.

nevertheless, thanks alexander and adamv.

edit: ok diff seems to work with css, no luck with html or javascript.

I think i have same problem as oriceon. There is some delay on typing. Barely visible yet annoying. I already tried to start with --clearstate --clearundo but with no luck Sad

If you have the problem with delays on typing, please try the latest update (1.0.37a). It returns to the old build process (the new simplified one seemed to miss some important optimizations).

Thanks for the Update. I just downloaded the source code and I am currently trying to compile it for Linux. I'm looking forward to testing it. Is there anyplace in particular that we should be filing bug reports?

Cheers,

Rob Oakes

Thanks for the update, which is looking great so far. The only downer is, that there still is no tag-matching available. Sad

Anyway, great job. Keep up the good stuff!
