What's New in Sprint 31

Full change logs: brackets and brackets-shell

UI Changes

Dark Titlebar on Windows - the Windows shell now has a dark titlebar that visually complements the Brackets UI.

TODO Live HTML UI for Invalid State - during Live HTML Development, Brackets indicates when code isn't updating due to being in an invalid state by changing the Live Development icon and displaying markers in the gutter.

TODO: UI indicating HTML is invalid & won't be syncing

TODO: Implement document proxy icon in Brackets editor

API Changes

TODO: Node version upgrade

KeyBindingManager now supports platform: "all" for clearer semantics.

TODO: CodeHintManager Response.query

New/Improved Extensibility APIs

  • Linting - Use CodeInspection.register() to provide linting/inspection for a given Language. Just like the built-in JSLint functionality, the provider is invoked whenever a file is opened or saved, and its results are displayed in a panel below the editor (providers may be run more frequently in the future, however). Currently, only one provider is accepted per language, although extensions can replace the default JSLint provider for JavaScript.

  • Code Hints - The behavior of the CodeHintList on tab key events is now configurable on a global and per-CodeHintProvider basis. The CodeHintManager provider registration API has been generalized with an additional optional property, insertHintOnTab, that indicates whether the CodeHintManager should request that the provider of the current session insert the currently selected hint on tab key events, or if instead a tab character should be inserted into the editor. See #5084 for more details.

Known Issues

  • 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.
  • #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.
  • #4362: Slow startup of Brackets and Live Preview on Windows due to Chrome proxy settings. See workaround https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/106010?hl=en.
  • 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.
