Sublime Text 4, build 4142 is out now with new features, performance improvements and bug fixes.
We've recently moved back into our freshly renovated office after having worked from home due to the pandemic. As well as a new office we also have a new team member, with Valerie joining Sublime HQ last month. Feel free to come on down to our Discord server and say g'day!
Syntax-based Code Folding
Syntax definitions now have the capability of declaring fold regions. A number of edge cases have also been cleaned up.
OS Recent Files Integration
The recent file list has been reworked and now integrates with all 3 platforms.
Identifier Case Conversion
A number of commands for converting between common identifier cases have been added.
