Dev Builds

#5

Off topic: Sorry about the earlier “Link Tip” under Technical Support. Thinking now that was under wrong banner (General Discussion maybe?)

Worked the sh** out of the latest dev build tonight (2017) hacking a bunch of shell scripts.
Linux X64
Rock Solid. No issues noted.

Nice work Jon.

These shadows are the sex.

So the only difference between a dev build and a release is more frequent updates? Sign me up!

I’m looking forward to a Windows version of Sparkle!

WinSparkle is unlikely to make an appearance:

  • No 64 bit version, at least not that I could find.

  • Doesn’t actually update, just downloads and runs the installer. This appears to make it unsuitable for updating the portable version.

  • Large (~1mb), due to embedding a statically linked version of wxWidgets.

At this stage, it’s looking like auto update on windows will have to be rolled by hand. I don’t know when this would happen, but it’s unlikely to be soon.

I’ll happily test the OSX build, need to force myself to switch full time first though :smiley:

I’m using the Blackboard theme and the shadows are barely visible. Actually they aren’t even shadows, as they seem to lighten the background rather than darkening it. Any chance the feature could be customized to make it a little more obvious? A wider and deeper gradient would really help :smile:

A customisable gradient would be ideal.

My beloved ST2 tell me that a new version is available this morning and when I clicked Yes it opened my browser on the Dev Builds page.
So on Windows 7 64, the notification was OK.

There’s a new dev build out now, with command line helper for OS X, and syntax detection via running a regex on the first line of a file. The shadow is also configurable now, via shadowWidth and shadow (color) in the .tmTheme files.

This build will turn into the next alpha version, barring any problems.

Is there a way now to remove folders from projects, or am I being a bit dim?

I frequently update folders when deploying css etc. so… css_v1 will be replaced by css_v2 and I don’t really want to wade through the spurious results in find in files.

Currently I have to wipe all folders and then add them all again including the new ones.

There’s no way to remove an individual folder yet. It’s coming.

That’s great! Looks like the limit for the shadowWidth value is 32. Any value higher and the shadow disappears. That’s okay I guess; anything more than 32 gets a little superfluous.

A shadowWidth of 32 with a shadow colour the same as the background makes for a really cool, yet subtle effect!

I am using the OS X version heavily so I’ll be able to report back any Sparkle issues.

BTW: I’m very impressed with this editor - it is exactly what I’ve always wanted. Thanx!!!
