[ jEdit-devel ] Multithreaded I/O

[Slava P. <sp...@gj...>]

Hello everybody,

jEdit 2.5 laid the groundwork for multithreaded I/O by moving everything
into a 'work thread'. jEdit 3.0pre1 builds on this by supporting more
than one work thread. So you can, for example, load several files from
an FTP server at once. An 'I/O progress monitor' command displays a
window showing the status of all I/O threads. It also allows you to
abort running requests.

Autosave is now done from the I/O thread pool as well; so up to 4 files
are autosaved at once, and there is no dedicated 'autosave thread'
wasting resources.
