• 'Go to matching brace' and 'Select to matching brace' actons
  
• configuration of syntax highlighting associations

Also several small improvements:

All these features need to be tested, so you're very welcome with bugreports. Bug tracker is on its old place: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=205470&atid=993768 :)

JuffEd 0.6.0 release

It is out!

Main changes:

• splittable document view
  
• using icons installed in system (on Linux/BSD)
  
• changing line endings (auto-detection and manual changing)
  
• auto-detection of syntax highlighting based on document's first line (for some file types)
  
• displaying of invisible symbols (tabs, spaces, line wraps)
  
• context menu for status bar (syntax, charset, line endings)
  
• improved and more powerful plugin API
  
• CMake syntax highlighting
  
• Chinese (Simplified) localization
  
• new application icon
  
• added icons of sizes 16 and 24 to the default icon theme (got rid of blured icons)
  
• many small UI improvements
  

Also it's decided to take a new version numeration style: now odd numbers (0.5, 0.7, ...) mean development versions, even numbers (0.6, 0.8, ...) mean stable releases.

JuffEd 0.5 beta 1

All right, it's time to let it go. In addition to already announced new features it has improved and more powerful plugin API (much easier to use in comparison to version 0.4), fixed some bugs, a little bit cleaner code and a new icon (thanks to "SoftIcon").

JuffEd 0.5: 2 weeks of development

Here are the results of 2 weeks of development:
7965 lines added, 4654 lines removed, patch size 658K. Just kidding ;)
One the one hand, it's true and these are actual results of


$ svn diff -r 250:HEAD > diff.diff
$ grep "^+.*" diff.diff | grep -v "+++" | wc -l
7965
$ grep "^\-.*" diff.diff | grep -v "\-\-\-" | wc -l
4654


but 1) I re-used lots of code from 0.4; and 2) diff includes everything, including localization files and files that were moved.

Total amount of lines of code (.h and .cpp files) is 11418 for now (version 0.4 has 9234 lines). Now it has the same functionality as 0.4 plus some new features:

• using system icons
  
• splittable document view
  
• line endings (auto-detection and manual changing)
  
• auto-detection of syntax highlighting based on document's first line (for some file types)
  
• displaying of invisible symbols (tabs, spaces, line wraps)
  
• context menu for status bar (syntax, charset, line endings)
  
• Chinese (Simplified) localization
  
• lots of minor but pleasant changes (tooltips for tabs, scrolling docs with mouse wheel on tabbar, new menu organization, etc.)
  

Also plugin API was significantly improved (still in development).
