Sublime Text 3 Beta

#53

How to make a smooth jump? After copying the Library (complete) and change any reference from /Applications/Sublime Text 2.app to /Applications/Sublime Text.app most of my keyboard shortcuts do not work nor latex buildā€¦ etc.

I meant the life cycle of a full featured release, which is meant to be the final version, the major release.
Since a code editor is something all of us uses all the time Iā€™m not interested in using beta, unstable versions of this kind of software. As I noted I bought V2 after it was in beta for a long time. So how long it took to get to a stable release is not something that users appreciate when they give their money for something.

I donā€™t understand that. If you donā€™t want a unstable version you can use the stable st2 you paid for. Itā€™s not going away and Iā€™m sure it will get bug fixes when needed.

Iā€™ve not read anything about an end of life of st2ā€¦ was there something in the announcement I overread ? I think there are more people still using python 2 and nobody forces anyone on using python 3 ā€¦ isnā€™t it the same with st2 and st3 ?

One thing I have noticed: I canā€™t ā€œHideā€ the sidebar until I show something in it. The menu item is disabled.

In fact, this folder is already in the project.
Once the file isnā€™t open anymore, it canā€™t find the symbol. But if I open the file, it can find the symbol.

I somewhat agree with your feeling as it looks like thereā€™s no more support for ST2.
But OTOH, as a long times user of ST2 back to early beta, I can say that every beta builds of ST2 was more stable than most final builds of most other software.
Maybe itā€™s a little early now to jump in the ST3 wagon but wait a few weeks and Iā€™m pretty sure the ST3 builds will be perfectly usable as your main editor (if we do not take into account missing plugins).

There was no mention of anything to do with ST2ā€™s life cycle and thatā€™s kind of the point - we donā€™t know that, as users who paid during during the beta period, if weā€™re getting any new 2.x features - for example:

That to me reads more like ā€˜I found a bunch of bugs and Iā€™ve fixed the plugin system to it doesnā€™t crash as muchā€™.

Great news. thanks a lot. i just bought a license in december 2012 and if st3 will be released, and it matches with my workflow that i have with st2, iā€™ll buy a license of st3. if here will be a upgrade license for less money, it will be nice. if not, iā€™ll also get it. for me st2 already paid off in a really short time. and iā€™ll suggest my boss to order company licenses.

tonight iā€™ll give st3 beta a try :smile:

Do you have a problem with bugs and crashes on st2 ?

Obviously there are major changes to the plugin system and I donā€™t think that you would want that in st2. Switching vom python 2 to python 3 will probably break most existing addons so it simply wonā€™t make sense to do this for st2.

When is Sublime Text 4 likely to be released, requiring another payment?

Serious question, because the fact Iā€™m so surprised by 2 being obsoleted so soon implies Iā€™ve misunderstood how things work here.

Feels like this site needs an account area that can properly track purchases etc. I only say this as the mention of people who very recently bought get a discount etc (I bought my copy yesterday, mind you Iā€™m only paying $5 on top so thatā€™s cool), but it feels a bit disjointed not being able to look up my current license status, upgrade options etc, and I imagine doing so would take some workload off of the support team (I can only imagine youā€™d have to contact via support to get the upgrade discount, rather than have your purchase date registered in a DB, check that against the conditions of the discount and apply it via checkout).

Just a mention. With the mention of issues ill just stick to ST2 for now; I have a lot of master yet.

Indexing is fully asynchronous, and does no work in the main thread. I do most of my testing using the chromium project (>100k files), and observe no slowdowns.[/quote]

Is there any way to debug issue that cause editor to lag even when typing the text? I want to find solution for this because itā€™s really annoying.
This happening only on this huge project - all others smaller projects works great.

I have some suggestions for default Preferences.sublime-settings.

Line 267

    // OS X 10.7 only: Set to true to disable Lion style full screen support.

Now that Sublime Text 3 only supports OS X 10.7 and later, this should be like this.

    // OS X only: Set to true to disable Lion style full screen support.

Line 271 to 275

    // OS X only. Valid values are true, false, and "auto". Auto will enable
    // the setting when running on a screen 2880 pixels or wider (i.e., a
    // Retina display). When this setting is enabled, OpenGL is used to
    // accelerate drawing. Sublime Text must be restarted for changes to take
    // effect.

The threshold of screen width should be 2560, not 2880, because the screen resolution of MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina is 2560 by 1600.

startup, version: 3006 windows x64 channel: stable
BUG1:
If I have my own tmLanguage that replace an existing one:

SQL\SQL.tmLanguage OracleSQL\PL_SQL (Oracle).tmLanguage
And both register .sql extension, in ST2 when opening a .sql file the PL_SQL (Oracle).tmLanguage was used, in ST3 itā€™s the SQL.tmLanguage.

Creating a file User\PL_SQL (Oracle).sublime-settings containing:

[code]{
ā€œextensionsā€:

	"sql"
]

}[/code]
Doesnā€™t work either.

BUG2:
Macros from Default folder appears in Macros sub menu but couldnā€™t be loaded.

Can you give us more details? I donā€™t understand why the reduced upgrade price depends on the ā€œactual date of the 3.0 releaseā€ and tbh I think this clause is kind of useless. Why? According to your blog ā€œAll licenses purchased at this new price are valid for Sublime Text 3ā€ - or to put it in other words - all new purchases (from now on) include a ST2 AND ST3 license. Itā€™s not possible to buy a license for $59 from now on and so the upgrade discount just affects users who bought the license for $59 in the past and I think you should make a clear statement NOW who qualifies for a discount - this makes the pricing transparent for everyone. Eg I bought the license on the 31.08.2012 and I just used the software for 5 months. Paying the full upgrade price of 30$ for 5 months usage is steep.
