What's New in Sprint 16

Full change logs: brackets and brackets-shell

UI Changes

  • Project Settings - Project settings are available in the File menu as well as the drop down menu (recent projects and Open Folder...) in the project tree. Currently, the only setting available is the Live Preview Base URL.

API Changes

  • Require 2.1.1: For better error handling while loading extensions, we've upgraded from Require 1.0.3 to 2.1.1
  • focusedEditorChange has been renamed to activeEditorChange
  • CodeHintManager now requires a code hint provider to return true by default in its handleSelect() function. A code hint provider can return false if it wants to keep the hint list open after inserting a user selection.

New/Improved Extensibility APIs

Known Issues

  • #1551: Changes within an extension (or a unit test) are not reflected by a simple "Debug > Reload Brackets." Workarounds:
    • Quit and re-launch Brackets to pick up the changes.
    • Open Developer Tools, click the gear icon in the lower-right, and select "Disable cache." This setting is remembered, but is only in effect so long as the Developer Tools browser tab remains open.
  • Debug > Run Tests is disabled in the installer/DMG distributions of Brackets, because the unit test code is not included. To run unit tests, pull Brackets from GitHub instead.
  • Debug > Show Developer Tools opens in a new tab in Chrome, rather than a new window in Brackets. This is a temporary(ish) change due to CEF3. But on the upside, CEF3's developer tools include many updated features!
  • #1283: Text selection highlight sometimes jiggles when horizontally resizing window.
  • #1473: Uninstalling on Windows sometimes does not remove the Start menu shortcut for Brackets.
  • Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) by default will not allow Brackets to run since it's not digitally signed yet. To work around this, right click the Brackets app and choose Open. You only need to do that once -- afterward, launching Brackets the normal way will work also.
