VERSION 0.5.72

36th Alpha Release

NEWS:

This release addresses a critical bug in the handling of HTML/XML files.

BUG FIXES:

• +Fix error in HTML autocompletion.
• +Fix application icon not showing up on Windows Vista and 7.
• +Fix spellchecker dependencies missing in Windows binary builds.

There is a bug that can occur when editing HTML/XML files that is caused by the new autoindenter for those file types. This has been fixed in SVN already and a new release containing this fix will be made at the end of the week sometime.

Until then this issue can be worked around by turning off the Auto-Indent option in your preferences or just turning it of per file when editing by toggling it off in the Settings menu.

This is a know issue with the font dialog not working on OSX 10.6. It will be resolved when a new version of wxPython is released. There is nothing that can be done about it till a new version of the libraries Editra relies on are released, so please refrain from reporting this issue any further.

So when a version of Editra that officially supports OSX 10.6 is ready an announcement will be made.

Thanks,

Cody
