News ==== Text Editor 41.alpha1 contains a number of new features and bug fixes since our previous release.
• Initial support for spell checking • Tabs provided by libadwaita • Improved performance while loading documents • Style improvements to overview map, line spacing, search, status pages, open popover, and more. • Additional settings in preferences • Improved auto-save support • A new buffer scheduler to improve performance of background operations. • Support for opening multiple files at once • Translation improvements # Text Editor 40.0 Text Editor for GNOME 40 is here! This is just a preview release but kick the tires and have some fun! # Text Editor 3.39.92 This is my initial release of gnome-text-editor. It started as an application for me to verify the correctness of the GtkSourceView 5 API (which targets GTK 4). After that it helped me implement JIT support for GtkSourceView languages. Once that was done it became my test case while I wrote the GTK 4 macOS backend and revamped the GL renderer. It is a simple and humble text editor. It does not have all the corner cases you'd expect from a text editor yet. Now that you know this is very much a technology preview release only, you might be tempted to keep your safe data away from it. ## What it can do • Simple interface designed by the GNOME design team. You can find the mockups in the traditional places such as: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/app-mockups • Search and Replace • Typical GtkSourceView features • Quick access to recent documents • Multiple windows • Automatic discovery of .editorconfig and modelines settings • Light and dark mode • Automatically save files to drafts, restored in case of crash • Can be run from within a Flatpak sandbox and uses document portal for access to host files. ## What it cannot do • It doesn't protect you from trying to open really large files • Support your custom GTK 4 theme • Auto-completion or snippets • Plugins • Custom file encodings ## Building If you'd like to test it out, the easiest way is to clone the repository from GNOME Builder and click Run. Additionally, you can find a Flatpak in the gnome-nightly¹ Flatpak repository. ¹ https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Nightly Download ======== https://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-text-editor/41/gnome-text-editor-41.alpha1.tar.xz (180K) sha256sum: cf186699ae330ba20c42d5a5580c4528822554dd0282fe644d2ee3847316f0c2 _______________________________________________ ftp-release-list mailing list ftp-release-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ftp-release-list
