[ jEdit-users ] jEdit 3.2.1 plans

[Slava P. <sl...@je...>]

Hello everybody,

It seems major bugs are found right after a new stable version is released :-)

Instead of replying to each bug report individually, here is a list of bugs
that I'm aware of and they'll be fixed in 3.2.1:

- Clicks in table of contents in help don't work

- Broken macro recording of actions that prompt for input (any others?)

- Replace doesn't work? I haven't intestigated this, but since the person
  who reported it says it only occurs with a pattern of .*, it might be
  caused by . also matching newlines, causing it to eat the whole selection
  and not one line at a time.

- Various bugs in the console plugin. They will be fixed in a console 3.0.1
  release.

- Some BeanShell execution is still too slow. I noticed this as well, while
  developing the XML plugin. This might be a BeanShell bug, but I'll
  definitely fix it in 3.2.1. It's not caused by an inefficency in the
  BeanShell interpreter itself; if anything, 1.2 is actually faster than
  1.01. It's caused by the class loading/searching code, which seems to run
  way to often, and if run repeatedly is slow because all plugin JARs must
  be searched.

- I cannot reproduce the FTP plugin problem...

- jEditLauncher installation fails under Windows. John, are there any other
  problems with jEditLauncher/the installer?

- There was a report of another keyboard handling problem with JDK 1.4beta2.
  I'll investigate.

- Typos reported against the documentation will be fixed but I don't want
  to release a new set of PDF manuals with minor changes only as not to
  waste too much space on the SF download server.

So if you've been bitten by one of these, hold tight and wait for 3.2.1.
If you'be found some other bug, please report it as usual.

After I fix the action slowdown I'll be able to release XML 0.4, which
features tag completion, among other features. Me and Andre planned to
move some features of the HTML plugin to the XML plugin, and rename the
HTML plugin back to JTidy.

One action in the HTML plugin that doesn't belong in the XML plugin is
the color picker command, which I will make into a macro and include with
3.2.1.
