Sorry for the inconvenience, but if you downloaded yesterday's Cream 0.40 package "cream-0.40.tar.gz", please replace it with this one: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/cream/cream-0.40-2.tar.gz?use_mirror=internap We believe the first may have contained Windows file format line endings, which will not work with non-Windows versions of Vim. -- Steve Hall [ digitect dancingpaper com ] :: Cream... usability for Vim :: http://cream.sourceforge.net |

Hello Cream for Vim users, I am pleased to announce that after nine months of development, the first beta release of Cream 0.33 is now available: http://cream.sourceforge.net/installation.html#beta This edition may be a little rough around the edges, but although there are a number of changes, most are small and modular. You can read the detailed ChangeLog here: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/cream/cream/docs/CHANGELOG.txt?view=markup Between now and the next (hopefully last) beta, I hope to update the documentation and fix any bugs that are found. A full Windows installer will be part of this effort, too. I regret that more of our ToDo list didn't make it into this release. The balance between fixing bugs and adding features is always difficult. There was also a bit of wheelspin related to hoped for language extensions as well as a new development environment. We can always use assistance in locating bugs and refining existing features. Finally, Cream's host application, Vim, has been under heavy development lately. We want to begin taking advantage of these improvements relatively soon after they are released in Vim 7.0, so it is likely this current branch of Cream will have only a few more releases before we move to the next. If you are interested in helping to identify the few missing Cream features that should be part of this legacy Vim 6x-dependant branch, please join the list and let us know your thoughts. -- Steve Hall [ digitect mindspring com ] :: Cream... something good to put in your Vim! :: http://cream.sourceforge.net |

Other refinements include better user profiling on Windows, more keymap options, horizontal scrollbar when text is wrapped, a new filename stamp add-on, improvements to word counting, installation script polishes, and many bug fixes. MAJOR FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS o New version of the spell check. Now accommodates new languages automatically. o Re-worked German, French, and Spanish spell check dictionaries to include a broader range of sizes to option speed or completeness. o User settings now saved in personal profile folder on later versions of Windows rather than in the root of C:. Note that if were affected by this improvement and your settings appear to have been lost, you should simply copy your preferences from folder "C:\.cream" to "C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\.cream". MINOR FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS o Added horizontal scroll bar activation when wrap turned off. o Added mapping (Ctrl+Alt+PageUp/Down) to go to the middle of the screen. o Fixed Word Count and added highlighting of word counted when Highlight Find is on. o Added a new Stamp Filename add-on with a functionality that parallels Timestamp. o Show Invisibles was fixed for Windows when using Unicode. o An unsaved file is now indicated with "*" (formerly "+"). ADVANCED FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS o Keymap options greatly extended to 39 different settings. o Improvements to bash shell (Linux/Unix) installation script. o Improved debugging information collection on startup. o Refined date/time insertion to include compressed ISO format. Added additional menu item and moved them all to a submenu. o Improved timezone calculations. o Developer menu is now dynamic and can (optionally) be directed to any path. o Added Cream support for the Lisp file type. o Improved completion templates for future extensibility. Some templates were also polished. Additional changes are available on the ChangeLog page at the website.

*** Cream (for Vim) Version 0.31beta2 Released *** The Cream (for Vim) project (http://cream.sourceforge.net) has released the latest version of an easy-to-use configuration for Vim. Cream configures the famous and free Vim text editor so that it is simple to use for those of us familiar with Apple or Windows platform software. Through intuitive menus, keyboard shortcuts, and extensive editing functions, Cream makes Vim approachable for new users and adds powerful features for experienced users on both Windows and Linux. RELEASE SUMMARY This major release features a re-worked spell check loader so that new languages can be added without upgrading. Additionally, the existing German, French and Spanish dictionaries were overhauled to provide a better scale of speed vs. words checked. NOTE: If you had downloaded any supplemental spell check dictionaries previously, you will need to upgrade them with the new ones on the site as of this upgrade. Other refinements include better user profiling on Windows, more keymap options, horizontal scrollbar when text is wrapped, a new filename stamp add-on, improvements to word counting, installation script polishes, and many bug fixes. This is hopefully the last beta release before the final. Please join the mailing list if you have any feedback. We'd particularly appreciate comments on this beta release spell checking and dictionary behavior, but all other bugs and wish items not currently on the ToDo are welcome. IMPROVEMENTS SINCE 0.31BETA o Numerous issues with spell checking and the dictionaries were addressed. You need to re-download any spell check dictionaries previously obtained. o Fixed incorrect warnings for tags not being found. o Fixed Word Count and added highlighting of word counted when Highlight Finds is on. o Added a new Stamp Filename add-on with a functionality that parallels Timestamp. o Fixed the Windows installer packaging that had not included Cream's syntax highlighting customizations. o Show Invisibles was fixed for Windows when using a UTF8 encoding. o Fixed the window positioning error when not full screen height and Word Wrap was toggled on Windows. NEW FEATURES SINCE 0.30 Some improvements to Cream in the 2004 September 16, v0.31beta2 release: o New spell check dictionary can auto-load new dictionaries without upgrading Cream. All ISO languages and dialects can be accommodated. o Re-work of German, French, and Spanish spell check dictionaries to include a broader range of sizes to option speed or completeness. o User settings now saved in personal profile folder on later versions of Windows rather than in the root of C:. Note that if were affected by this improvement and your settings appear to have been lost, you should simply copy your preferences from folder "C:\.cream" to "C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\.cream". o Keymap options greatly extended to 39 different settings. o An unsaved file is now indicated with "*" (formerly "+"). o Added the Lisp file type to those that Cream provides extended features beyond Vim's defaults. o Added horizontal scroll bar activation when wrap turned off. o Improved completion templates for future extensibility. Some templates also polished. o Created language and country code support libraries. o Improvements to bash shell (Linux/Unix) installation script. Additional changes are available on the ChangeLog page at the website.

*** Cream (for Vim) Version 0.29 Released *** ====================================================================== The Cream (for Vim) project (http://cream.sourceforge.net) has released the latest version of an easy-to-use configuration for Vim. Cream configures the famous Vim text editor so that it is simple to use for those of us familiar with Apple or Windows platform software. Through intuitive menus, keyboard shortcuts, and extensive editing functions, Cream makes Vim approachable for new users and adds powerful features for experienced users on both Windows and Linux. ====================================================================== Release Summary This release features a new installation structure. Now multi-user by default on both Windows and Linux, Cream sessions with Cream can be run independently of Vim sessions without Cream. User files are now generated on startup automatically and no longer need to be created manually. Other refinements include new icon graphics, installation scripts for Linux (complete with GNOME menu icon), swap files now located in the same directory as the edited file, and many bug fixes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Some specific new Cream features in the 2004 April 24, v0.29 release: Major Improvements ------------------ o New installation location, now consolidated within the Vim program structure alongside Vim's standard runtime files. o Run both Cream with Vim and stand-alone Vim at the same time. o Default multi-user installation on both Windows and Linux. o Each user profile is now created automatically. Minor Improvements ------------------ o Bug fix for toolbar errors on new installations. o Fixed Vim version error not reported correctly in some cases. o Created an initial Cream icon (.ico). (It still needs a bit of refinement, especially at smaller scales.) o Changed Cream startup shortcut key to Ctrl+Shift+C. Advanced User Improvements -------------------------- o New Linux installation script INSTALL.sh, which includes the addition of Cream within the GNOME Applications menu. Also useful for updating installations from a developer set. o New Windows installation script INSTALL.bat, mostly convenient for installing or updating existing installations from a CVS checkout. o Swap files of open files are now opened within that file's directory. This provides a visual means of identifying open files and makes finding recovery files more intuitive. o Prototyping (Alt+9) now possible without opening taglist. o Updated Ruby support to version 1.8. ______________________________________________________________________ Additional Information Home: http://cream.sourceforge.net Features: http://cream.sourceforge.net/features.html Screenshots: http://cream.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html Installation and Download: http://cream.sourceforge.net/installation.html Mailing Lists: http://cream.sourceforge.net/maillist.html FAQ: http://cream.sourceforge.net/faq.html ChangeLog: http://cream.sourceforge.net/changelog.html ToDo: http://cream.sourceforge.net/todo.html |
