Projects Plugin 1.5 Released

Sat, 11/07/2009 - 18:16 — cody

The latest version of the Projects plugin is now available in the Plugin Manager. This release is another bug fix release that addresses some important issues related to reliability, performance, and the history/diff commands.

New:

  • +Update translations and add many new ones.

    • Bug Fixes:

    • +Focus behavior on windows
    • +Fix number of small typos (patch from kevinsmithc)
    • +Fix error in doing diff when retrieval of file fails
    • +Fix some threading issues
    • +Fix error that could happen when retrieving node data for a commit action.

    Official support for python2.4 has been dropped for all Editra related components. If you are still using 2.4 most things should still work but I will no longer be supplying eggs for python2.4.

    note: title updated to 1.5, 1.4 was replaced within 24 hours due to a windows specific critical bug fix.

Windows Installer 0.5.15

Sat, 11/07/2009 - 15:15 — cody

The windows installer (.exe) for version 0.5.15 has an issue where it puts the files for the spell checking in the wrong place. The spell checking still works but the files interfere with the subprocess module so things like Launch and source control commands in the Projects plugin will appear to do nothing.

This can be worked around by removing the following files from your installation path (i.e C:\Program Files\Editra)

* All .py and .pyc files
iconv.dll
intl.dll
libenchant.dll
libglib-2.0-0.dll
libgmodule-2.0-0.dll

This will of course cause the spell checking feature to become disabled.
