Textpad 0.8 preview

Textpad Editor 0.8 will be released soon, it contains some exciting new features that may interest you.

New features:

  • A SDI (Single Document Interface) is now fully implemented (and tested).
  • Textpad is now a single-instance application (in order to make the SDI work correctly).
  • Syntax highlighting support will be added for Vala and VB.
  • All listed programming languages (in the Highlighting Mode menu) are now fully supported by the syntax highlighter.
  • Binary releases will be finally be available for download for Windows, Mac and Linux (generic 32 bit).
  • (Maybe) translation for Spanish.
  • (Maybe) spell checking.
  • Recent files is now fully implemented.

Mac users: Textpad could be uploaded to the Hackstore when it reaches version 1.0.

Ubuntu/Debian-based distros users: Textpad could be uploaded to the Ubuntu Software Center and have it's own ppa (I need to learn how to use launchpad.net).


Textpad 0.8 will be the first "beta" release of Textpad, while 0.9 will be the "Final beta" and 1.0 will be a stable release (I hope).

Please take a look at the Discussions Page, your ideas/suggestions are greatly appreciated, also, please write a review so that I know how good is Textpad doing right now.

Thank you for all,
Alex.
