Hi,

this is to inform you about the release of eric3 3.8.0. It is available
via

http://www.die-offenbachs.de/detlev/eric3.html

The list below summarizes the difference between eric3 3.7.x and 3.8.x

- too long list of bugfixes to mention here
- these usability enhancements

DEBUGGER
-- added possibility for path translation for passive debugging
and remote debugging (Configuration Dialog -> Debugger -> General)
-- added support for project specific debugger settings
(see Project menu -> Debugger)
-- added support for special watchpoint conditions
(variable is created, variable is changed)

DOCUMENTATION GENERATOR:
-- added capability to generate source documentation using CSS style
sheets to the eric3-doc utility (including the default style and
a style with reversed headers) (Note: eric3-helpviewer cannot
show the styles due to the limited HTML support in QTextBrowser)
-- added the flag '-t' to eric-doc and eric-api to tell them
to look for additional files

EDITOR:
-- added additional lexers (CSS files, TeX files,
Diff files, Make Files, Properties Files and Batch Files)
(QScintilla > 1.5.x is required)

GENERAL:
-- some interface cleanups and little reorganization of the
configuration dialog
-- added action to open multiple files
-- added the capability to use %-codes for entering command line
arguments. Supported codes are:
%D directory of the current editor
%F filename of the current editor
%H home directory of the current user
%U user name of the current user
%% the percent sign
This functionality is available in the following dialogs:
configuration dialog, Debugger->General page
version control system, Command Options
cvs, Execute Command
subversion, Execute Command
mercurial, Execute command
Tools Configuration
-- added a configuration option to set the default encoding for
files, that don't contain an encoding marker

GRAPHICS:
-- added the capability to delete shapes to the graphics dialogs

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
-- some optimisations and additions in the project browsers
-- added configurable filetype associations for projects
-- changed "Add file dialog" to allow the addition of
multiple files to the project

RUBY:
-- enhanced Ruby support (thanks to Richard Dale)

SHELL:
-- changed the shell completion to use the Scintilla userlist.
It is activated by pressing the TAB key and deactivated
by pressing the ESC key (without selection) or the TAB or
ENTER key (with selection).

TASKS
-- extended task management with categorization and a colorized
display

TEMPLATES:
-- added a templates system

TOOLS:
-- added support for cx_Freeze (FreezePython)
-- added support for PyLint

USER INTERFACE:
-- added the commandline option "--nokde" to disable usage of the
KDE dialogs
-- switching the editor will highlight the current file in
the project browser
-- added a context menu for the "Listspace" view manager
-- added an incremental quicksearch to the search toolbar

VERSION CONTROL:
-- added support for Mercurial VCS

Your mascot makes me think that you're just another python troll on the
ruby list. Didn't download because of that. Should I revise my judgement ?

"Just another"? I can't remember the last one, personally. (Anyway,
eric3 is well worth the look, apart from its fatal failure to be vim :))).

Luckily, you should :)
Eric3 was started as a python editor, and it is written in python but it
does support ruby, with integrated shell and GUI debugger

eric3 is a full featured Python (and Ruby) IDE, maybe you just might want to
revise your judgment or at least check it out...
