Hi all,

I proudly present jEdit 4.5.0, the first stable release of the 4.5 series of jEdit.

Detailed changes can as always be found in the Change Log attached in the end of this email, but here are some of the major features of this version:

• Performance improvements, as well as a "large file" mode for handling extra large files.
• Edit using Elastic tabstops, set from Global Options - Editing, Buffer Options, or via buffer-local properties.
• Lots of old deprecated APIs were removed. Some plugins may be broken as a result.
• Choose color ordering for subpixel antialiasing (Global Options - Text Area - Anti-Aliased Smoothed Text) (Feature #2989209).
• Desktop System Tray icon to indicate when jEdit is running (Feature #1657143).
• It is now possible to switch look and feel without restarting jEdit.
• It is possible to specify a FILE_NAME_GLOB for an edit mode based on the full path (see entry for apacheconf mode in modes/catalog for an example) (Feature #2557712).
• File System Browser can now open files in desktop, using desktop filename associations to launch another program.
• Plugin Manager Enhancements, filter field, bugs fixed.

Volunteers are always welcome to contribute to the future of jEdit:
