Release Notes: 0.41

This is a draft!

This document will not be finalized until the end of Release 0.41 -- approximately June 26.

What's New in Release 0.41

• Search
  • Replace across multiple files: You can see all search matches first and uncheck any you don't wish to replace. Supports the same exclusion filtering as Find in Files.
• Stability
  • JavaScript code hinting crash prevention: Brackets automatically stops processing problematic JavaScript files that previously could cause a crash during code-hint analysis.
• Files & Folders
  • Rename on second click: Click the currently selected file in the tree view a second time to rename it, similar to the gesture available in Windows Explorer and OS X Finder.
• Localization
  • Danish translation added
• Ongoing Research (not implemented yet)
  • Split view (early implementation on branch)
  • Research: Theming Support (pull request in progress)

Search - Use FindInFilesUI.searchAndShowResults() to programmatically trigger a 'Find in Files' operation and show its results in the bottom panel.

Known Issues

• Activity Monitor in Mavericks (OS X 10.9) says the Brackets Helper process is "Not Responding" even when it's working normally (#5794). You can safely ignore this unless Brackets is actually failing to respond when you click or type text.
• #2272: Windows Vista may not allow the Brackets installer to run (you may not see any error message). To work around this, right-click the installer file, choose Properties, and click the Unblock button.
• 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.
