0.6beta3 Released

We are proud to announce the last beta of Pida 0.6. If no severe bugs will show up, Pida 0.6.0 will be release in the next two weeks. Please report bugs you find here.

It was a long time since beta2 and a lot of changes happened since then:

Core Highlights

• multiprocessing language plugins

Language plugins can now use a multiprocessing infrastructure which allows expensive operations to be done on other cpu cores. This increases the speed of plugins like python_lint and python dramatically and do not make the gui sluggish anymore.

• project file caches

Projects now have a filecache which allows fast queries to filenames and filetypes. The QuickOpen? plugin provides a gui for this, allowing the user to open files to which parts of the name, path or filetype are known

• very precise feature selection from LanguagePlugins?
• better filemonitor support
• new documentation (needs some gui work tho)
• lot of speedups
• lot of usability enhancements
• lots and lots of fixes

New Plugins

• RegexpToolkit? - helps you develop and analyze regular expressions
• QuickOpen? - fast file opener for project files
• WayPoint? - autogenerates waypoints when you surf and edit files and allows to jump back and forth

Known Issues

• Unstable on Ubuntu Jaunty

Add proposed package feeds and complain  here for their stubbornness

Fixed on trunk

• Wrong display of changed files
• Better documentation build and api docs
• Hard lockups when pida shows a dialog
• Maybe RuntimeErrors? at external plugins
