[Bluefish-community] 2.4.0 released

[Olivier S. <ol...@bl...>]

Hi all,

I just released Bluefish 2.4.0. Bluefish 2.4.0 has some new features and 
many small improvements. It is no longer  a 2.2 release because 
backwards compatibility with the 2.0 series of Bluefish has been 
removed. If you upgrade from 2.0 straight to 2.4 your config files and 
project files are no longer 100% correctly loaded. Starting from 2.4 
Bluefish will place config files no  longer in ~/.bluefish. On Linux it 
will be ~/.config and ~/.local/ , on Windows  LocalAppData and 
RoamingAppData, and ~/Library/Application support on OSX. The biggest 
new feature, still experimental, is that you can edit two document 
side-by-side. A second new feature is that you can change opening and 
ending tags in XML or HTML simultaneously if you hit [ctrl][t]. Anothe 
new feature is that you can more easily save the current contents to a 
template. For new users, and also active in new projects, is a UI 
selection dialog, where you can choose between a UI optimised for web 
development, programming or  just have everything enabled or disabled. 
This will help new Bluefish users to customize  Bluefish in an easier 
way. There are a few fixes as well. Selecting lines by dragging in  the 
margin works more reliable. Paste special works more reliable. Line 
comments in Python are better detected, which is visible in the syntax 
highlighting, but also improved the toggle comment function. The Windows 
build has better error messages when starting external commands fails.

Code is available at 
https://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/source/bluefish-2.4.0.tar.bz2 
Binaries and packages will follow soon.

regards,
