Dev Build 3023 is out now. There are two core changes in this build:
-
New Auto Update system for Windows and OS X. Some users have been experiencing issues with Sparkle (the previous OS X auto update system) and ST3, that didn’t exist under ST2. I haven’t been able to reproduce any of the issues. Given an auto update system was needed for Windows anyway, Sublime Text now has its own auto updater. The new auto update system is able to do delta based updates, so a new build will now typically be <10% of the previous size. In terms of user experience, the new auto update is fairly similar to Sparkle, and isn’t a Chrome style silent auto update.
-
Telemetry. Sublime Text can now report some anonymous usage information, which includes computer specifications, startup time, installed packages, and edited file types. File names and contents are never sent. Telemetry is disabled by default in this build, but the plan is to enable it by default in future dev builds, and keep it disabled by default in future regular builds. Telemetry can be explicitly enabled or disabled with the enable_telemetry setting.
