RELEASE NOTES
We originally planned to make this release version 0.9.5, but after four years
of accumulated development, we've decided to bite the bullet and call this our
"1.0" release. Thanks to all the support from users, testers, and developers
over the years, big and small!
The Text Trix editor now incorporates an additional syntax highlighter. The
new highlighter (modified from the open-source JSyntaxPane library) has
greatly improved performance and adds support for many additional
languages, including Python, SQL, bash, Groovy, JSON, and Scala, in
addition to Java, HTML, and C++ syntax support. Built into the highlighter are
also a line number ruler, width marker, and parenthesis/bracket highlighters.
The bookmark tool for recording positions in each file ("Line Dance") has been
updated to dynamically update its bookmarked positions as you add or remove
text from your file. The interface has also been tweaked for ease of use.
Files previously defaulted to Unix (LF) end-of-line (EOL) styles, even if they
were previously in Windows (CRLF) format. Now Text Trix preserves the file's
original EOL style.
Font size can now be adjusted in the Preferences window. The setting will only
adjust how text is displayed, without modifying the file, and will hopefully make
editing easier on new high-res displays.
We've also tested for compatibility on newer systems, including Java 8 on
Windows 10, Mac OS X 10.10, and Fedora 22.
Summary of new features:
-Improved syntax highlighting, including support for more languages, faster
performance, line numbering, width marker, and brace highlighting/completion
(based on JSyntaxPane)
-Bookmarking tool (Line Dance) keeps better track of positions
-Change display font size in preferences
-Preserves end-of-line (EOL) styles
-Can be set as default editor in Windows (use run.bat)
-Bug fixes
Known issues/requirements:
-This new package requires Java 6 or higher to run. If you require Java 1.4/5,
you can use a previous version of Text Trix (through v.0.9.4).
