I’m in no way disputing what you are or are not seeing but I’m using Kubuntu 14.10 and Xubuntu 15.04 and I am seeing some new menu items under Tools.

Platform/OS specific bug?

Works fine for me on OSX.

Not seeing extra items under Tools on Windows. I see a new build menu item for building with syntax tests, but that is all.

I do see them on OSX though. So I think this is platform specific.

How can we handle the transition for the syntax file format in plugins ? If i put the tmLanguage and the sublime-syntax in the directory I now have two different syntax :-/

Loves the new format, it’s really a lot cleaner and easier to edit And the new option in Tools was available for me (windows 8.1)

I am seeing the new items under tools as well.

Windows 7, 64bits
Build 3084, portable (I had to click “Check for updates” to upgrade)

@facelessuser
Can you provide more infos on windows?

Apparently ST during update created a Main.sublime-menu in Packages/Default and that was overriding my built-in menu. Not sure why it did that, but removing that fixed the issue.

I’m on OSX 10.10 FWIW, even after a restart of Sublime I couldn’t see it.

Ok, updated on my MacBook and I can see the items.

Can we please have middleclick or shift+click on Windows taskbar open a new window? I need this bad on windows 10 multiple desktops.

I am getting the same issue on Windows 7 64 BIT OS. I am still at the previous version. I tried finding the Main.sublime-menu (as was suggested by facelessuser) but it does not exist . Clearing the backup and the session does not help either.

Please help.

If you aren’t seeing the new menu items then it’s most likely that you have another Main.sublime-menu overriding the default one: check via the Preferences/Browse Packages menu item.

Currently there’s one shipped .sublime-syntax file, in YAML/YAML.sublime-syntax. The old YAML.tmLanguage is still there, but I’ve added:

<key>hidden</key>
<true/>

to the top, so it won’t show up in the Syntax menu. Keeping it around has two advantages:

• Any other tmLanguage files including YAML.tmLanguage will still work.
• Any users updating with an already open YAML file will have things continue to work as expected (the syntax file to use is determined once when a file is opened, and won’t be recalculated until the file is closed and reopened again).

If the auto update isn’t showing a new version, then it sounds like an HTTP proxy is caching something between you and the server. To work around this, just download the new version manually from sublimetext.com/3dev (and hit refresh in your browser if it’s not showing 3084).

This is what I did and I was able to update it manually (so I guess it might be a HTTP caching issue)

thanks you sir.

Thanks Jon!

Which will take precedence if you have a .sublime-syntax file and a .tmLanguage file for the same language?

This is a good question; I would also like to know.

john answered about that: there is no precedence, both are loaded.

The match regex uses Ruby syntax. This is an interesting choice, as developing for Sublime uses so much Python and JSON. Do we really need to learn another REGEXP syntax?

What was the advantage of choosing Ruby syntax over Python or Perl or any of the others?

That’s not the question. I know they are both loaded and usable, but which one is auto-selected for a view. Manually you can select either or. You cannot simultaneously highlight with both, so one must be picked when a view is loaded. I would assume Sublime would favor sublime-syntax, but I haven’t tested it yet. But a user could manually select either or.

I suppose SublimeText uses the Oniguruma regex library here, which is used in Ruby as well as by TextMate, Atom, and several other editors.
