We are happy to announce a new release of Geany!

Before going to the release highlights, let's first celebrate this day!
It's the 18th birthday of Geany! On October 19, 2005 Geany 0.1 was released. While this first version had less features than the new version, the spirit and project goals were the same and kept over time.
Geany aims to be a fast and easy to use code and text editor (some may call it even IDE).
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.... read more
