Testrelease 0.3.4: bug fix release

Downloads Yes, here weren't news since a year, I was a lot travelling but the project gains steam again. First sign of that: a new testing release testing release that contain all the current bugfixes. Only new feature: you can open all files of a directory at once. But there still some issues that will be cleaned up before we heading toward the next stable release (0.4).

State of this Editor

Status No, were not dead, its just a transition. I have to find a good new name. PCE was always to ment to be just an interim name. I want one that expresses exactly what I feel, when I see and use PCE. Now its time i think do it, unfortunatly inspiration can not be forced.

The second issue is the CPANification wihich is almost done by Adam Kennedy. I'm currently merging his work into my codebase and its halfway done but the worst stands still out. But when its done, it runs under Linux and Mac without adjustments in the config, like now required. That will help greatly for a wider adoption and bring us much closer to fulfillment of our initial concept.

But there is also a third thing. The new release uses WxPerl 0.57 which isn't the newest version, but the last version before the introduction of Alien::Wx. Kephra have dozens more bugs and I'm not shure if there are our bugs at all. I don't know how it runs under Linux but to keep the buisness running under win, we stick to that version vor a while. Thanks.

Testrelease 0.3.3: mainmenu and toolbar rebuild

Downloads All parts of the user interface do now reflect the state of the application immediately by enabling or disabling button or menu items, with checks and dynamic menus. The new version gives the user therefore a more living and touchable impression. More details about the changes you find in release notes , and as always, if you find a bug, please report it in the tracker.

We gone through some bigger core changes to enable these new features, but most of the newly gained power will revealed during next releases. Our biggest single goal for the 0.3.n series, removing Wx::XRC is now accomplished. About further plans tells you the roadmap.
Follow your conscience.

Since version 0.3.2.15 translation become easier

During the building of our new GUI/command/event system we achieved to put all localisation text strings into a single file. This makes translation of the program easy as we always wanted, because you have translate just this textfile. It is also easy for translators because they can see in the file the context of each text line.

Today we have only a german and english localisation. Maybe i do a czech some day, but spanish and russian is definitly most wanted now.

Testrelease 0.3.2 brings new advanced Contextmenus

Downloads and the marvelous brace navigation. So get it here and check new Features and Fixes. And as always, if you find a bug, please report it on the tracker. Enjoy life !

Advanced Feature Tour

Documentation I recently recognized that users sometimes don't find our best features themselfs. So i've written this text, to list all the goodies of the upcoming version 0.3.1.5 which is slightly more than 0.3.1 can, but there should always be o good reason to try our nightly releases.

Testrelease 0.3.1 brings Searchbar

Downloads Like announced brings this new version some new Features and Fixes, but these are not very much testet yet. If you find a bug, please report it on the tracker. Enjoy it.

8. German Perl-Workshop

Texts My german talk was well recieved on this workshop. I met a lot of people, had interesting discussions and found some new possibilities. Finally we found taulmarill (from german perl-community.de ) who will help us with the Mac-port and Florian Ragwitz was willing to bundle a debian package for PCE. The CPAN distro of the Editor approaches as well and the testing release 0.3.1 will arrive soon with some new interesting features. So all is good except i could be less lazy.

Herbert, 6. March, 2006

First Patchlevel

Bugs Even released we run into some bugs with the search dialog, but all is fixed quick and nice. Details you can read in the tracker. Buggy downloads were deleted, the fixed version is uploaded and all links on the project page are redirected to the fixed stuff. To differ the patched version from the unpatched 0.3 we introduce an patchlevel counter. You can see the patchlevel on the download page, on the filename of the download and in the info box at the program (help menu). It stands for the number of fixes made on a feature freezed version. This system i try to keep for a while. More Details about our versioning are written in our thoughts.

EDIT: 5 Days and 3 fixed and documented bugs later we bring 0.3 pl 2 with same proceeding as above. So there is no way to load an buggy version.

Suddenly, PCE Version 0.3 Appeared !

Major Release Its just for plain old Windows in English and German, the the other ports will come later, but wise people will be able to build crossplatform packages from sources. The release notes are as always just an overview.

Herbert, 20. October, 2005

Play With PPI

Internal Package Exalted from this article, I wrote Adam Kennedy, because he shares similar aims with us. As a result of our conversation I include PPI into the Windows Port of PCE 0.3. If you want to play with it too, now you can can, and extend a bit PCE for your own needs (howto will follow). In future we will use PPI for syntaxchecking, refactoring and other perl supporting tools. We are not dismiss our original goal to support many languages we only serve our own needs first, and hoping if its good for perl, other perl programmer will join and make it also better for other tasks.

RC 3 For Version 0.3

Downloads Still alive and kicking we are preparing a new stable release. New and interesting in RC are braceindent and bracededent which helps C and Perl programmers. If you like to help us or nosey for our new features try 0.3.0 RC2 (0.2.3.30) in english or german and please report us the bugs via tracker or mailinglist. Linux version is on the way, UTF-Versions are still not stable, but we think they will be at version 0.4.

Bugfix 7 For Stable Release 0.2

Windows Port According to our new versioning rules here comes another stable bugfix in english as well as german. Bugfixes in detail are decribed in the release notes.

Herbert, 17. June, 2005

Experimental Linux and Mac Ports

Screenshots Untill now our program run only under windows. I'm excited to announce that we have a Gentoo Linux and a Macintosh OS X Port under the Hood. Both will soon come out out as stable releases. Thanks to Maik Glatki and Christian Renz.

Serious Annoyance In UTF Version 0.2 !

Bugs Beside some minor bugs that are already fixed (next bug fix release will come soon or patch sources ) there is a serious thread with unicode(UTF) text handling in the unicode Version of PCE 0.2. Only some minor features are affected, but we marked the unicode version as unstable. Please don't work with Unicode, unless you need it and you can live with the quirks. We fix this problem as soon as possible.

Herbert, 1. Januar, 2005

Finally, PCE Version 0.2 Released !

Major Release After a long and careful preparation, there it is the result, in english and german. Now we have multiple document handling, search and replace and many minor things more. Test it, and you will see that we are now three steps further to our goal.

Herbert, 28. December, 2004

RC Countdown For Version 0.2

Downloads Is there an end, was there a beginning? After Release Candidate 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, now here is RC 7 (PCE 0.1.98). Germans take this. Please Download and test to ensure quality. I hope now there will be no RC 8.

Herbert, 24. December, 2004

First German Version With Umlauts

Localisation Like announced I made with wxPerl 0.21 a german, unicode capable Version ( 0.1.96 unstable) that supports german special Characters. There are plans for a czech translation as next.

Herbert, 15. December, 2004

Hurray For wxPerl 0.21

Internal Package We thought wxPerl 0.19 would bring the possibility of multiple document handling, like we announced earlier, but the small nifty bug was still there. One week ago we tested 0.21 pre-release (it's not out yet) and it was a great joy and salvation. After some days of hard work we are pleased to give out a beta-release PCE 0.1.87, which delivers a complete working multiple document via tabs.

We Got wxPerl.de Domain

Internet As a part of our project wxperl.de is intended to be our homebase outside of sourcefoge.net. In next future there will be wxPerl class references and howtos in german and maybe a page for Manuel's Regex tester, which should become later part of the editor.

Manuel, 17. Sept, 2004

First German Version Released

Localisation As a tribute to our users we translated the program into german. As a matter of fact all the developers are german, our friends speak german too like most people who would now use our editor. So download, enjoy and give us your feedback. The german and the english download are exactly the same, only the settings are different. The displayed language can also be changed on the fly via the Config|Einstellungen menu. The translation doesn't have german umlauts because this version will be win95 compatible. A second translation with german special characters will only be displayed well at win2K/XP.

Herbert, 28. July, 2004

PCE Version 0.1.60 released

Major Release This pce-win-0.1.60.zip is an unintentional full release but nonetheless we are proud to provide some new features. We planned to put these improvements into an update release but due to an incompatiblety the update wouldn't run. Read the release notes for more details or visit the download page. The next full release should contain more big features as we promised it in the roadmap.

Herbert, 13. July, 2004

German Translation In Progress

Localisation We started to rework the wording to get several functions clearer. Simultaneously we are writing the German translation. By the way, we decided to translate in a free manner to get the best results.
If you want to help translating into other languages, send us an email.

Manuel, 28. June, 2004

Mattia Barbon Released wxPerl 0.19
