Release Notes: 0.41

This is a draft!

This document will not be finalized until the end of Release 0.41 -- approximately June 26.

What's New in Release 0.41

• Search
  • Replace across multiple files: You can see all search matches first and uncheck any you don't wish to replace. Supports the same exclusion filtering as Find in Files.
  • Quick Open: many small bug fixes
• File Types
  • Switch language/syntax mode of a single file: Use the language indicator in the status bar as a dropdown to override the language Brackets chose to treat a file as. (These changes are not saved when you close the file; use preferences to permanently treat all files with a certain extension as a different language).
• Ongoing Research (not implemented yet)
  • Split view (early implementation on branch)
  • Research: Theming Support (pull request in progress)

Full change logs: brackets and brackets-shell

UI Changes

Quick Open - The first item is automatically highlighted, making it more clear that you can press Enter immediately to jump to the top item (Down arrow not required). Highlighting the 2nd item in the result list now only requires pressing the Down arrow once (previously required two presses). Quick Find Definition no longer changes the scroll position until you start typing.

API Changes

New/Improved Extensibility APIs

Known Issues

• Activity Monitor in Mavericks (OS X 10.9) says the Brackets Helper process is "Not Responding" even when it's working normally (#5794). You can safely ignore this unless Brackets is actually failing to respond when you click or type text.
• #2272: Windows Vista may not allow the Brackets installer to run (you may not see any error message). To work around this, right-click the installer file, choose Properties, and click the Unblock button.
• Debug > Run Tests is disabled in the installer/DMG distributions of Brackets, because the unit test code is not included. To run unit tests, pull Brackets from GitHub instead.

Community contributions to Brackets

...TODO...

• Include <main> tag in HTML code hints by coliff

Pulling source code from Git

• TODO: new brackets-shell build required?
• brackets-shell's Node dependencies have changed. Run npm install before rebuilding brackets-shell.
• Some submodules were updated this sprint. Run git submodule update to ensure your source tree is fully up to date.
