jEdit 4.0pre1 now available

This release has a lot of new features, but is also likely to be very buggy, and the documentation has not been updated for any of the new goodies yet. Also, a number of plugins (including mine) are broken by this release. Take care and have fun.
I would like to release jEdit 4.0pre2 two weeks from now, along with an updated set of plugins at the same time. There will then be a pre3 release at the start of December, right before I move back to New Zealand, where I will buy a new computer and switch to Java 1.3 as my primary JDK. 4.0pre4 will follow soon after, and this release will finally drop 1.1 compatibility.
I hope by pre4 all the major new features planned for 4.0 will be done; so from there it will just be debugging and polish. So my estimate is that 4.0final will be released late Febuary or early March 2002. But that is just a rough guess.
