jEdit 4.1pre2 is now available.

Hot on the heels of the 4.0.3 release, the first pre-release in the 4.1 series is now available. Check out the change log; lots of new stuff here.

Let me introduce Gruntspud ....
Gruntspud is a graphical CVS client that may be used either as a plugin to jEdit, or it may be used as a standalone application. It supports a variety of different connection methods including local, ext, pserver and server. About 50% of the main CVS commands are implemented, enough for it to be used for day-to-day stuff. Gruntspud is available for download at Sourceforge.

jEdit 4.0pre9 is now available. This will be the last release before 4.0final, so download it and test it as much as possible!!! Also, plugin developers: if your plugin is still incompatible with 4.0, please update it within the next week.

If you want to stay on the bleeding edge, check out some of the plugins that have been recently added to the 'Beta Plugins' section: namely, Velocity Plugin, IRC 1.8, and LaTeX Outline Plugin.

Ok everybody, this is the 4.0final "release candidate". You know the drill: download it, test it, and report the bugs. 4.0final will follow very soon after this.

jEdit 4.0pre7 is now available for download. 4.0pre8 will be a "release candidate", and 4.0final will follow soon after.

I'm pretty confident this release is very stable, in fact it should be more stable than 3.2 was. So I encourage as many people as possible to download and test it; if you're still using 3.2, give this release a shot, I think you'll like it very much.

jEdit 4.0pre6 is now available from the jEdit web site. Go download it, and post feedback in the usual places.

jEdit 4.0pre5 is now available. The main focus of this release is stability. If you encountered problems with earlier 4.0 pre-releases, please give pre5 a go, and post your comments either in this article, on the mailing lists, or in the #jedit IRC channel on irc.openprojects.net.

Sun has released a release candidate of JDK 1.4; you can download it here. A change log is available; from the looks of things, this is mostly a bug fix release that rounds out the new APIs introduced in 1.4. Post your experiences with the 1.4 release candidate below! I imagine jEdit 4.0pre4 and JDK 1.4RC1 would make a great combo!

jEdit 4.0pre4 is now available for download. This release adds soft wrap, includes the jEdit FAQ, has an improved plugin manager that shows plugin download sizes, has an improved 'complete word' command that can complete keywords, and much, much more.You can find a change log here.
