There are at least two minor patches which I would like to see in 2.9.8. I
believe that in week v2.9.8 should be released (with or without these
patches).

Yes, there will be major changes in 3.0 but I'm not against JOE 2.9.99
:) but there should be only minor patches (mainly bug-fixes). There are
two problems with 3.0, I don't have a lot of time (this is not so
important, right now :) and that I'm not quite sure how to work with open
files in memory. After solving this problem I will start with writing
something what will looks like 'engine' for editor but will be used only
for viewing (so utf-8, key mapping, regexp, syntax highlighting). Then
editor will be written :). I believe that viewer will be 'almost'
completed in the september (after my holidays).
m,
PS: if you have any ideas how to store open files in memory then let me
know.
