2.2.6

  • enable development define only if compiled from svn, not if compiled from tarball
  • various language file improvements, most of them in C, Javascript and CSS
  • fix a specific CSS-in-HTML-tag highlighting issue
  • Arabic translation added, Polish and Chinese translation updated
  • fix a corner case for a new document from a template that does not exist
  • fix segfault in filebrowser that could be triggered by invalid URL's
  • the "open" submenu now opens SVG files from the filebrowser instead of inserting an image tag
  • fix segfault in filter code if the command does not exist
  • update cssmin and jsbeatify
  • fix a syntax scanning issue when replacing large chunks of text
  • fix the "Report bug" link
  • add a new "conditional" option to the language file that makes re-using certain blocks of language files easier
  • imporove error reporting in outputbox
  • OSX: fix filebrowser icons
  • OSX: fix "open file" dialog size

beyond 2.2.6

  • make language options translatable
  • improve loading of files with corrupt encoding (partially loading into read-only file)
  • remove synchronous calls from blocking code-paths in the filebrowser code
  • implement some sort of highlighting color theme so bluefish is also usable on dark themes without changing each and every color manually
  • better mimetype / syntax linking GUI, like the GUI proposed for win32

beyond our planning horizon

  • clipboard history
  • undo redo browser

some ideas:

  • completion of words in current document
  • storing undo/redo information in the project file
