Leo 4.4 alpha 4 is now available at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3458&package_id=29106
To learn about Leo see http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/intro.html
Leo 4.4 a4 redraws the screen more quickly, corrects numerous bugs in the
4.4 code base, and introduces several new features.
You should be able to use this version safely. There are no known serious
bugs, but several minibuffer commands are not ready for prime time. All the
major features of 4.4 are in place.
The highlights of Leo 4.4:
----------------------------------
- An Emacs-like mini-buffer: you can now execute any command by typing its
long name. Support for tab completion.
- A tabbed log pane. The Find and Spell Check commands now use tabs instead
of dialogs, making those commands much easier to use. Plugins or scripts can
easily create new tabs. The Completion tab shows possible typing
completions.
- Support for almost all commands in the Emacs Cmds menu, including cursor
and screen movement, basic character, word and paragraph manipulation, and
commands to manipulate buffers, the kill ring, regions and rectangles.
- Per-pane key bindings. You can bind shortcuts to multiple commands
depending on which of Leo's panes presently has focus. For example, you can
use arrow keys to move nodes in the outline pane, while retaining their
defaults in Leo's body pane. Per-pane key bindings are essential for
mouseless Leo.
- @command nodes create minibuffer commands. You can bind key shortcuts to
@button and @command nodes.
- A rewrite of Leo's keystroke handling. In particular, Leo handles key
events immediately rather than queuing them for idle time.
- Leo recovers from crashes much more reliably than in any previous version.
- Leo updates the screen immediately rather than waiting for idle time. This
'Newer World Order' simplifies the code and improves performance.
Known bugs in Leo 4.4a4
-----------------------
- Several minibuffer commands do not work. See the release notes for
details.
Coming in later releases of Leo 4.4:
------------------------------------
- An auto-complete command that shows class members in the Completion tab.
- More support for mouseless Leo. There will be commands to manipulate all
aspects of Leo using commands, so your fingers will never have to leave the
keyboard.
- Support for Vim and other 'plain-key' input modes.
