SharpEdit / News: Recent posts

Nothing drastic has changed, but we reworked lots of code over the summer, so consider this the end-of-summer cleanup/release.

This is a maintenance release to fix my stupid error with the installer. It was not installing the hilighting modes, so hilighting was broken.

Sorry about that. It should be fine now. If there are any problems please email me.

SharpEdit 0.0.4.5 now supports customizable syntax hilighting
for all of the following files. The current hilighting engine
functions based on file extension, so when you create a new
file you must save it with the proper extension for the correct
syntax to me displayed.

ASP.NET (.aspx)
Batch Files (.bat)
C++ (.cpp)
C# (.cs)
HTML (.htm|.html)
Java (.java)
JavaScript (.js)
PHP (.php)
TeX (.tex)
VB.NET (.vb)
XML (.xml|.xsl|.xslt|.xsd|.testconfig|.manifest|.config|.addin|.xshd)... read more

This is a major development release.

[/release notes]

There are MANY changes/additions in this build, so help us track down all of these bugs.

The latest build is a total rewrite, almost from scratch. The tab page code is totally removed into it's own class now.

Also, the SharpEdit web site is now up:
http://www.exceed-tech.com/projects/SharpEdit/

Most of the menus are disabled, as are saving & printing.

I finally added the Tabbed interface that was the basis for creating SE in the first place. I am now looking into Scintilla for syntax hilighting.

Bear in mind that the menu items (Other than Open, save & new) are not functioning at this point. This is a development build.

Adds Tabbed interface
Supports multiple files as arguments
Fixes font issues with the RichTextbox

This build does not add tabs as I had hoped...

It does incorporate:

-Magic .NET XPStyle menus
-moves the settings file from /Application Data to the Program folder
-adds the setup project to the source
-many misc bug fixes with the UI

I am currently playing with Scintilla for the syntax hilighting, and should have a workable build on that soon.

I will be posting job openings for the project ASAP so we can keep it moving.

This build adds printing functionality, along with window state persistance, and basic settings that are saved in an XML file. The settings file ins in \Application Data\SharpEdit.

The next major release version should (hopefully) implement the tabbed interface and multi-threading.

This is the first testing build for SharpEdit. This project is mainly a learning experience for me, and will hopefully pick up where notepad left off in my opinion.

Any ideas, bug reports or feature requests are welcome.
