What's new in TEA 41.1.0

Sep 21, 2015
  • Just fixes

New in TEA 41.0.0 (Apr 1, 2015)

  • Found the important bug with the word wrap settings those included with syntax highlighting rules. This bug, and other bugs were fixed, but some new features in TEA is not in the complete state.
  • So use this version and wait for the next release to see the full power of TEA themes engine. Now TEA has some built-in themes available at View - Themes menu. You can make your own themes and put them to ./config/tea/themes, but the documentation for themes is not ready. TEA can be themed using Qt CSS markup with some special additions (external images, inner UI objects, etc). In the future, theme engine will support custom icon sets.
  • Themes and palettes is the good way to make TEA suitable for your eyes and taste.

New in TEA 40.0.0 (Feb 23, 2015)

  • Note for the package/ports maintainers. TEA now has a brand new source configuration method (via qmake CONFIG variable). Please see README for the details.

New in TEA 39.0.0 (Feb 23, 2015)

  • TEA now is the single instance application. If this feature will be unstable I'll turn it off at the next release. Current implementation is based on the shared memory, so if TEA crashes (at Linux), TEA can be normally runned AFTER the NEXT run after the crash.
  • Charset for the comman line file opening now can be defined via Tune - Common - Charset for file open from command line.
  • The important hack to the keyboard handling has been added - see Tune - Common - Use Alt key to access main menu (option, default is OFF). If ON, you can access to main menu via Alt key pressing. If OFF, all Alt-based shortcuts works fine now ;)
  • Another new option - Search - From cursor (ON by default). If OFF, TEA searches text from the beginning of the file, else from the cursor position.
  • Plus, 3 new TEA application icons can be selected at Tune - Interface page.
