I have redesigned the jEdit web site, thanks to Ollie Rutherfurd who submitted a mockup! Tell me what you think of the new look.

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!
