New Server Fund Raising

cody — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 20:39:11 -0400

Greetings,

As many may have noticed the site has become very slow and has been down from time to time in an increasing fashion over the last year. This is due to an ever increasing amount of traffic that is coming to the site. The increased traffic is a good thing but on the negative it makes the site nearly impossible to use on busy days.

For these reasons I am hoping to get some help to raise some funding to move the site to a vps from the current shared server. A vps is unfortunately a little more money than I feel comfortably forking out for on my own so before making this move I would like to raise about 2 years of server fees put away before hand. This means I would like to try and raise about $1200 to help keep the project running smoothly for the next two years.

Notice: Editra 0.4.75 / Launch Plugin

cody — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 17:35:20 -0400

There was a small bug that many seem to have found when clicking on the configuration button for the Launch plugin for the current release. This is a harmless error that has already been corrected. It results from having an empty configuration that was not properly pre-loaded on new installs when accessing the configuration from the new plugin manager dialog.

The work around for the current release is very simple:

Enable Launch plugin in the plugin manager
Restart Editra
View=>Shelf=>Launch (open a Launch window)
The configuration dialog will be accessable now.

A new release will be out soon that includes the fixed version of that plugin.

Editra 0.4.75 Released

cody — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:19:33 -0400

VERSION 0.4.75
DATE 03/28/2009
24th Alpha Release

NEWS:

This release fixes a handful of important bugs and new features. The Plugin Manager dialog has been completely reworked. Configuration options for plugins that provide them are now available in the dialog as well as better error reporting for plugins that could not properly be loaded.

File session support has also been improved to allow for saving and loading of multiple custom sessions. Due to format changes the upgrade will require any session from previous installations to be overwritten.

Notice: OSX Lockups

cody — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 18:46:16 -0500

When an older version of Editra on OSX (< 0.4.40) detects an update during startup it can cause the program to lockup when the update window is shown. This has been fixed in newer releases, if you are or have experienced this issue during the program startup it can be fixed by simply downloading and installing the latest release version from the Downloads Page.
