Leo 4.0 beta 2 is now available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/leo/
This is the second public release of Leo 4.0. There are no known serious
bugs
in this version of Leo. Version 4.0 is the culmination of over a year of
collaborative design work and several months of actual implementation.
4.0 introduces new file formats. Please make full backups of important
files.
Highlights of 4.0 beta 2
------------------------
* Fixed several bugs:
- Fixed problems with reading and writing 4.0 derived files.
- Fixed several Unicode-related bugs.
- Fixed a crasher in the Go To Line Number command.
- Fixed a problem with Importing Python files.
* Important improvements:
- Added allow_clone_drags setting that allows Leo to be used with Aqua.
- When running Python 2.3 Leo can now create window icons without
third-party packages.
- The usual minor improvements and bug fixes.
Highlights of 4.0 beta 1
------------------------
* Improved and simplified format of derived files.
- Eliminated child indices, extraneous blank lines and @body sentinels.
- Eliminated @node sentinels that indicate outline structure.
- New @nl and @nonl sentinels indicate where newlines are and aren't.
- These changes largely eliminate unwanted cvs conflicts.
* Greatly improved error handling.
- Reading derived files _never_ alters outline structure or links.
- Read errors leave the outline completely unchanged.
- Broken clone links are gone forever.
- As a result, using 4.0 is much safer than all previous versions.
* Full compatibility will previous versions of Leo.
- Leo reads all derived files properly, regardless of version.
- Leo writes new-format derived files by default, and this default may be
changed.
* New commands:
- Write 3.x Derived File and Write 4.x Derived File commands.
- Import Derived File command.
- Clear Recent Files command.
* Several new plugins.
What is Leo?
------------
- A programmer's editor, an outlining editor and a flexible browser.
- A literate programming tool, compatible with noweb and CWEB.
- A data organizer and project manager. Leo provides multiple views
of projects within a single outline.
- Fully scriptable using Python. Leo saves its files in XML format.
- Portable. leo.py is 100% pure Python.
- Open Software, distributed under the Python License.
Leo requires Python 2.1 or above and tcl/tk 8.3 or above.
Leo works on Linux, Windows and MacOs X.
