Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] Alpha Release 9.2 (Gianfar)

[Giovanni D. <gio...@un...>]

Many thanks!!!
The internal pdf viewer is a big step.
But I have a problem; when I synchronize from the tex source while the pdf file is already open, the corresponding location in the pdf file is outside the window (first hidden line upward).
Am I the only one with this problem?

Regards

Giovanni

> 	• New core command [synctex] to handle synchronization between LaTeX source files and the PDF output. This relies on the synctex library written by Jérôme Laurens (see Synchronization for TeX on Github).
> 	• New view PDFView for the [view] command.
> 	• New built-in PDF viewer for LaTeX mode with full two-way synchronization.
> 	• New dynamic commands associated with each PDFView view for manipulating the content of the pdf document. See the $pdfToken command help page.
> 	• New core command [diffFiles] to perform a diff between two text files.
> 	• Modified the behavior of the [search] command in the case of a backward regexp search: the command does not match anymore at the starting position. The semantics of the -l option has also been slightly modified in the case of a backward literal search.
> 	• Improved indentation in C modes.
> 	• Revision of Alpha's Compare package based on the new [diffFiles] core command. Alpha does not use external tools anymore for executing comparisons, in particular the extra application DiffBOA.app has retired and has been removed from the bundle.
> 	• The helper application AlphaUpdater.app has been removed and is replaced by shell scripts invoked directly by the core.
> 	• New core command [windowOrder] in replacement of 'windowVisibility -order'.
> 	• Support for Sweave files in TeX mode. When editing a sweave file, the Process submenu of the LaTeX menu now has two items called "Sweave" and "Sweave and Typeset". The R software must be installed for these commands to work.
> 	• New submenu Other Windows in Open Windows menu for non-document windows.
> The following bugs have been fixed (but remain open until the fix is confirmed):
> 	• Ticket #237: Adapt the size of the selected region when a search-and-replace reduce it
> 	• Ticket #239: pageHeader prints untitled instead of document title
> The following tickets have been closed:
> 	• Ticket #235: spellchecker
> 	• Ticket #236: spellchecker
> 	• Ticket #238: Typesetting a TeX project from a component file
