Please be sure to read the [Getting Started](Getting Started) Guide before installing this product.

Overview

Aptana Core forms the basis of the product Aptana Studio, designed for web-only development, and the core of Titanium Studio, which layers the Titanium development environment on top of the web experience.

Aptana Core 3.5.0

Studio 3.5.0 includes the latest Pydev 3.0.0 and adds support for PHP 5.4. It also takes advantage of the new theming capability in Eclipse 4.x. For the full list of tickets, please see JIRA.

Notable issues

Aptana Core 3.4.3

Studio 3.4.3 adds support to the new OSX Mavericks operating system. The version of Eclipse upon which Studio 3.4.2 and prior are based has issues with file selection dialogs in Mavericks, so Studio 3.4.3 switches to a newer version of Eclipse (3.4.1) that eliminates these issues. For the full list of tickets, please see JIRA.

Aptana Core 3.4.2

Fixed the preview window issue described in APSTUD-7825.

Aptana Core 3.4.1

Aptana Core 3.4.0

Aptana Core 3.3.2

A couple of fixes related to submitting a ticket from Studio and showing a file in Resource History view.

Notable issues

Aptana Core 3.3.1

A hot-fix release for addressing the critical connection lost issue in APSTUD-7311.

Aptana Core 3.3.0

Fixes in a number of areas and major speed improvement on editor performance, especially around JavaScript and CSS. For a complete list, see the release notes section in JIRA.

Notable issues

Aptana Core 3.2.2

Fixes and improvements across a range of items. For a complete list, see the release notes section in JIRA.

Notable issues

Aptana Core 3.2.1

A selection of fixes to improve the developer experience. For a complete list, see the release notes section in JIRA.

Notable issues

If you have an issue with slow indexing of files, we've made a number of changes recently. Try doing a 'Project > Clean' on all projects.

Aptana Core 3.2.0

A roll-up release with a few major tweaks to speed development. For a complete list, see the release notes section in JIRA.

JavaScript

  • We've added a new high-performance JavaScript Style validator that does much of what JSLint does, but in a fraction of the time. Try turning it on in Preferences > Studio > Validation > JavaScript
  • We've also filtered out a lot of style warnings from JSLint.
  • Outline view now descends into conditional statements.

HTML, CSS and PHP

  • Studio 3.1.3 introduced a bug with slow typing in large files where word wrap was enabled. We've corrected that.
  • HTML validation filters have been re-enabled.
  • Fixed bugs in PHP indexing.

Other items of note

  • We've re-enabled support for the "dropins" folder.
  • Tweaks/Fixes to the Find bar.

Aptana Core 3.1.3

A rather significant bug fix release with over 70 items. For a complete list, see the release notes section in JIRA.

New Items

  • The find bar now supports multi-line search!
  • You can now file bugs and improvements from inside Aptana Studio. Check out Help > Troubleshooting > Aptana Studio > Submit Ticket.... If you don't have a JIRA account, please sign up at http://jira.appcelerator.org
  • Scope selectors in Rubles can now use grouping, intersection and union operators

JavaScript

  • JavaScript now has additional options for improved formatting placement of spaces around parentheses
  • Local variables inside functions are back again in content assist
  • Formatting fixes
  • ScriptDoc improvements

HTML and CSS

  • Notable speedup in CSS parsing
  • CSS and HTML text hovers have been improved with additional information
  • HTML snippets will no longer display inside HTML attribute values, unless specifically scoped to do so

PHP

  • The PHP outline now shows functions inside conditionals
  • PHP now supports parent:: autocompletion

Bugs of Note

Aptana Core 3.1.2

This small release most noticeably addressed some issues uncovered as part of the 3.1.1 release.

For a complete list, see the release notes section in JIRA.

Aptana Core 3.1.1

This small release most noticeably addressed some speed issues in the JS and CSS editors, and fixed a long-standing issue whereby a user could accidentally delete a file using the "Undo" command.

For a complete list, see the release notes section in JIRA.

Aptana Core 3.1

For full details on the hundreds of changed items since 3.0.9, see the Aptana Core release list. Some additional highlights:

Editor Improvements

We've now enabled functionality that enables you to get content assist on user-defined functions without needing to save the file first. In addition, we've aded content assist on both hover and in Dynamic Help to give far more information than before about the functions and methods across the JavaScript APIs.

Typing /** before a JavaScript function will now automatically add a documentation header.

/**
 *
 * @param {Object} a
 * @param {Object} b
 * @param {Object} c
 */
 function foo(a, b, c) {
 
 }

If you create a function in one file, and use it in another, you can now access Open Declaration (also via the F3 key) which will jump you back to the source definition

Validation updates: We now validate the whole project (as opposed to just the current file) as part of the build step, and we'll warn you before launching if the current project has errors.

New Views

  • A Snippets that provides easy access to the complete list of snippets shipped with Studio, as well as simple ways to filter, preview and edit the list
  • A Servers view for stopping, starting and restarting external servers used for preview

PHP Debugger Beta

Been missing debugging in PHP? We've added support! Check out the ticket for full details.

Additional Notable Changes

  • Studio 3.1 is now built on top of Eclipse 3.7.2
  • We've done substantial work on decreasing the amount of processes during startup and editing to improve the editor experience.
  • Multiple improvements to the syntax colorization and formatting infrastructures.

Aptana Core 3.0.9

A very minor release as we gear up to a much larger Aptana Studio 3.1

Bugs

Aptana Core 3.0.8

A release focusing on improvements to core functionality

  • Addresses an issue with a possible freeze while performing a git push
  • Fixes for the accidental insertions of extra spaces during formatting
  • Corrects two cases where the editor may freeze while writing PHP regexes or collapsing code.

Migrating from Studio 2? Check out our guide here.

Gold Master Release (2011-04-21)

We're ready for 3.0 final—this release fixes over 270 bugs since the last release, and it's time for it to see the light of day. You'll be happy to know no new install is required—just an update. We're doing a soft launch to help users migrate from version 2 to version 3 and work out the kinks.

OS X users—this release updates the core Eclipse platform from 3.6.1 to 3.6.2, which may cause an issue when restarting the first time. If you run into a problem, see here for the easy fix.

If something isn't where you expect it, we're already hard at work on 3.0.1, so please view the lists on Lighthouse for upcoming releases. If you are currently subscribed to the nightly releases, you effectively are already on 3.0.1, so we recommend you stay on that branch.
