Bluefish release 2.0.3 improves syntax highlighting performance and the performance when scrolling in large files. It adds a couple of features such as a split view feature, Clojure syntax, Wordpress syntax, Pascal syntax, jQuery syntax, Processing syntax and R syntax. Various features have improved such as tag closing, toggle comment (shift-control-c), spell check with HTML-entities, join lines and split lines, bookmarks in projects, the preferences user interface and more. On the portability front: language selection now also works on Windows, and we now provide a binary for OSX 10.5 as well as 10.6. Finally, two new translations are added: Nynorsk and Hungarian.

News 2009 - December 23 - Bluefish 2.0.0 release candidate 1

Bluefish 2.0.0-rc1 (release candidate 1) is available on the download server. This is the end of the 1.3 development series, and the beginning of the 2.0 series. Bluefish 2.0.0-rc1 has no large new changes compared to 1.3.8, mostly bug fixes, translation fixes and small improvements. The 2.0.0-rc1 is no longer called bluefish-unstable, but it is called bluefish. It may, therefore, interact with or replace an existing 1.0.7 install. 2.0.0-rc1 should be as stable as 1.0.7 or better. SHA-1 checksums:

News 2009 - August 16 - Bluefish-unstable 1.3.6 released

Bluefish 1.3.6 has two major new features. The first is inline spell checking, which is programming-language aware. The second is a menubar for the snippets plugin, for those of you that liked the old custom menu more than the snippets sidebar. Next to the new features, there are many small improvements, bug fixes and a speedup of the startup process. This is also a call for translators, because only a few languages are up-to-date. Most translations need to be updated before we can do a 2.0.0 release. SHA-1 checksums:
