jEdit 4.2pre15 is now available. This will be the last pre-release before 4.2final. Please report bugs!

jEdit 4.2pre14 is now available. This release fixes a number of bugs.

jEdit 4.2pre13 is now available for download. This release fixes the infamous ClassCastException on startup, as well as a number of other bugs.

jEdit 4.2pre12 is now available download. This is mostly a bug fix release, with a few updated syntax highlighting modes.

The main focus of this release is a new folding engine that should be much more efficient. Not only is folding faster, but general display tasks such as scrolling should be zippier too.

Also, the plugin loader and API has undergone much improvement and debugging -- it is now stable enough to start porting plugins to. Developers, please update your plugins -- users will thank you for the reduced startup time.

There are also a number of new features, such as a kill ring, files in the favorites list, and a new BeanShell release.

Thanks to Carmine

jEdit 4.2pre1 is now available. Main changes are a new display engine in the text area and an overhauled plugin system, but there is much more. See the change log for a full list. If you are a plugin developer, take a look at the jEdit 4.2 plugin porting guide. Go to #jedit on irc.freenode.net to discuss this release with other users.

Java 2 version 1.4.2 beta is now out for Windows and Linux. On Windows, it features a new WinXP look and feel; on Linux, a GTK+ 2 look and feel. Note that jEdit 4.1 does not work with the GTK+ look and feel; jEdit 4.2pre1 will fix the problem.

CodeAid and Jane will most likely be released in next week's plugin batch. The latest beta fixes a large number of bugs and displays a structure view of Java files in the SideKick plugin. Post your feedback below.

jEdit 4.1pre11 is now available. This will be the last release before 4.1final, which will be out in the middle of next week.

Its Valentine's day, and the text editor you all love now has been updated. jEdit 4.1pre10 features improved plugin development documentation and a number of bug fixes. If you are still using jEdit 4.0, please test this version.

I've uploaded Debian Linux packages of jEdit. So you can just add following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/jedit ./
deb-src http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/jedit ./

... and run:

apt-get install jedit

to install the latest jEdit package.

CodeAid for jEdit 4.1 will be released soon. You can find the current CVS version packaged as jars on my site:

http://www.javalinux.it

Download 4 jars, put it on jars directory and configure Jane and CodeAid in global options.

Give me feedback on the mailing lists.

jEdit 4.1pre9 is now available. This release features improved syntax highlighting and a whole heap of bug fixes. If you're still using jEdit 4.0, please give 4.1 a go and report any problems you find so it can be ultra-stable by the time it gets to 4.1final.

jEdit 4.1pre7 is now available. This release features some minor improvements, performance enhancements, and a lot of bug fixes.

jEdit 4.1pre5 is now available. This release has new and updated syntax highlighting modes, the frequently-requested "unsplit current" command, and a number of other improvements and fixes.

This release fixes a show-stopper bug in pre3 where only the first macro in each directory would be listed. Go download it now.

After a brief hiatus, jEdit development has resumed. Go download 4.1pre3 and tell me what you think. The most interesting new feature in this release is probably the addition of regular expression syntax highlighting rules. Also auto-completion in the Open File dialog box has been improved, and an option has been added for jEdit 4.0-style tool bar placement.

There is a new release of Gruntspud, a graphical CVS client that may be used as a plugin to jEdit or as a standalone. This release sees loads of new features, commands and bug fixes as well as a Java Web Start installer for the standalone version. Note: Gruntspud now uses the 4.0 plugin API..
