Greetings, This release includes major improvements to the detection and handling of file encodings and reporting of related errors when they happen. As part of this enhancement support for magic encoding comments are now supported in the editor for specifying an encoding for a document. The comment must be found on either the first or second line of the file. Most popular comment formats are supported,
example1: # -*- encoding: utf-8 *-* example2: # vim: set fileencoding=latin-1 : example3: # coding=utf-16 When no encoding is specified the default will be to use utf-8 for encoding text when possible and falling back to other available system encodings when utf-8 fails. There is also a new bundled plugin that is distributed with this release. The plugin is called "Launch", it is the highly requested solution to be able to run scripts from within Editra. It currently supports most of the scripting languages that Editra has support for and provides custom output parsing and filtering for some languages such as python, perl, and lua. The special output handling will create hotspots on error messages in the output that allow instant navigation to the error by clicking on the hotspot. A new plugin for browsing and navigating TODO statements is also available in the plugin manager. It is called CommentBrowser and is the newest plugin to be released from the editra-plugins project (http://code.google.com/p/editra-plugins/). For more details about this plugin see (http://code.google.com/p/editra-plugins/wiki/ CommentBrowser). For more details about the release please review the release notes at http://editra.org When upgrading from a previous version it is suggested to check the PluginManager for updates to previously installed plugins as they may provide important compatibility changes.
