New in IEP 3.0 (May 15, 2012)
- Fixed issue 89 , issue 91 , issue 93 , issue 94 , issue 95 , issue 96 , issue 98 , issue 100 .
- The syntax style now uses a pure-white background; the solarized version becomes pinkish on some systems.
- The shortcuts are reset. For 3.0.beta we carefully selected the key bindings so that they feel native for Windows, Linux and Mac. By resetting shortcuts, users that already used IEP 2.3 get the new bindings as well.
New in IEP 3.0 Beta (Apr 20, 2012)
- Rewritten the code that does the communication between the kernel and the IEP. This code is organized separately in a package we've called Yoton. We've designed it in such a way that it will allow us to run a kernel on a different machine (remote computing) and to connect multiple users to the same kernel (collaborative computing). You might expect these features in one of the coming releases. Further, it paves the way for parallel computing (but that's for the further future).
- Another big change is the editing component. We've gotten rid of Scintilla (which is an old library with an inconsistent API, with bad support for Unicode, and was very buggy on Mac). We have designed our own editing component using pure Qt components. We've designed that part too to be independent of IEP, so it might be reused in other projects.
- The code for the menu has been completely redone, allowing for easier incorporation of icons, and using (contex) menus in other places.
- The editorstack has been gotten rid of. In its place is the project manager and a more classic tab bar, custom-made to make the tabs more compact and provide information about the open documents in a subtle and non-intrusive manner.
