jEdit 4.0.3 now available
Submitted by slava on Saturday, 15 June, 2002 - 09:02
To make things easier for those on dialup, I have uploaded 2 unified diffs, one to patch the jEdit 4.0 source to 4.0.2, and the other to patch the 4.0.2 source to 4.0.3. They are only 10 Kb or so, so this beats having to download the whole package for each bug fix release, assuming you don't mind compiling from source, and using the appropriate tools to apply the patches.
jEdit icon pack now available
Submitted by slava on Thursday, 6 June, 2002 - 04:06
A jEdit icon pack, containing various icons in a variety of sizes and formats, is now available from the Icons and Images page. Thanks to Kris Kopicki for contributing this.
jEdit 4.1 development begins
Submitted by slava on Monday, 27 May, 2002 - 08:10
I have recently begun working on jEdit 4.1. You can see some early work in the CVS repository. Changes so far include improved printing, improved syntax highlighting, various user interface improvements, SOCKS proxy support (for people behind an MS proxy server), and more. You can find a full change log here.
Two reviews of jEdit

Take a look at this review, and this one.

jEdit 4.0pre8 now available
Submitted by slava on Monday, 25 March, 2002 - 10:37
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 now available
Submitted by slava on Sunday, 10 March, 2002 - 07:20
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 now available
Submitted by slava on Tuesday, 19 February, 2002 - 07:39

Submitted by slava on Tuesday, 5 February, 2002 - 07:55
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.

Submitted by slava on Wednesday, 23 January, 2002 - 00:21
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.
A problem saving the euro sign (and a solution)
Submitted by jgellene on Monday, 7 January, 2002 - 20:02
You need to use instead the iso-8859-15 character set, which is a modification of iso-8859-1 that includes the Euro sign and some Finnish and French characters. The Euro sign represents character value 0xA4 in this 8-bit set.

There is a new addition to the downloads area, euro.bsh, that can be used as a startup script to provide macro methods to help you with your use of the Euro. The methods let you insert a Euro currency character, change the current buffer's encoding to iso-8859-15, and open a file with that encoding.
New version of jEditLauncher available
Submitted by jgellene on Sunday, 30 December, 2001 - 12:27
To upgrade an operating version of jEditLauncher, simply unpack the contents of the archive in your jEdit installation directory. The file jeshlstb.dl_ may be deleted. If your current version of jEditLauncher is not working for any reason, copy the contents of the archive in your jEdit installation directory, run jedit.exe /i from a command line, and reboot your machine if requested to do so.

In connection with the development of jEdit 4.0, jEditLauncher will be enhanced further to provide additional logging options and to wrap more of jEdit's own command line option for greater flexibility and ease of use.
Donate with PayPal
Submitted by slava on Thursday, 27 December, 2001 - 02:50
I have created a PayPal account for accepting monetary donations to jEdit development. Note that this is entirely optional; jEdit is not, and will never become, shareware. You can use it as much as you want, guilt-free, without donating a single cent. Details here.

Submitted by slava on Saturday, 22 December, 2001 - 03:43

New ErrorSource API
Submitted by slava on Tuesday, 27 November, 2001 - 10:49
The changes are as follows:

  • The EditBus plugin has been dissolved, and all classes have been moved to the ErrorList plugin. So you must remove any dependencies on "EditBusPlugin" from your plugin's property file.
  • All ErrorSource API classes have been moved to the "errorlist" package; so you will need to add "import errorlist.*;" where necessary.
  • To register an error source, you must now call:
    ErrorSource.registerErrorSource(errorSource);
    Instead of
    EditBus.addToBus(errorSource);
    EditBus.addToNamedList(ErrorSource.ERROR_SOURCES_LIST,errorSource);
jEdit 4.0pre2 now available
Submitted by slava on Sunday, 25 November, 2001 - 04:28
New Features
