1. ColdFusion Update for 9 and Railo – Thanks Ron Stewart
2. Support for Google’s new Go language.
3. Updated PHP mode (few wordpress changes, and bug fixes) – Thanks Ron
4. Few little bug fixes here and there.

Here is what the new Go stuff looks like:

Enjoy

I’ve been fixing them as I use them, and I think they are all, at least, usable now. If you haven’t noticed this bug, ignore this post, but if you are using Linux and need the fix you can download the fixed themes.

Just unzip them over the textthemes directory into your [eclipse]/plugins/com.rohanclan.afae/textthemes directory and reapply the theme you are using.

The fixes just set the foreground colour for the text when you select text. This will be in the next release, and if you are using something other than Linux / Ubuntu you probably don’t need to bother with this fix.

I had a few patches sitting in my list of things to do, and decided to tackle them this weekend. Thanks to all who’ve submitted patches.

Here is the new stuff and changes in this release:

• Dr. Alexander Konovalov (from the The University of St Andrews School of Computer Science) submitted a patch to support the GAP (Groups, Algorithms, Programming) Language. GAP is a System for Computational Discrete Algebra.

• Update HTML mode to better support closing tags. It was using a generic rule to just colour “end tags”. The rule worked fine in most cases, but if you were using a language that allowed for custom namespace tags, the colouring would get a bit odd.

• Fixed opening files using the “File / Open” command (i.e. opening a file not in a project) for both text and images

• Lot of cleanup work to get commands and bindings working correctly across all plugins

• Code cleanup and warning fixes – all plugins now compile with zero warnings. Added Templates to all the Maps, Lists, Sets, etc.

• Cleaned up the Afae Editor Blogger preference pane (UTF-8 now works when posting to Wordpress, I think Wordpress fixed a bug)

• Made zoom in and out on the images flow a bit more consistently

Ron Stewart: Railo 3.1 mods * ternary operator * new functions millisecond(). setTimezone() * reserved words Yes/No

OpenBD mods: * new functions structValueArray(), fileSeparator()

javascript: * fixed a typo in the jQuery UI support (“accordion”)

cfml.xml: * support for some of Railo’s CFADMIN tag attributes as they leak through blog posts * support for Railo’s “mappings” attribute on CFAPPLICATION * fixed handling of CFRETURN tag for better handling when written in XML-style * added support for OpenBD tags CFCAPTCHA, CFJAVASCRIPT, CFSTYLESHEET * added support for OpenBD “type” attribute on CFCOMPONENT tag * added support for OpenBD attributes on CFVIDEOPLAYER tag

• To use Afae you now have to be using Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) and JDK 1.5 or higher.

Enjoy!

If you are in Sydney, don’t miss Code wars tonight – which should be really fun.

I never really mentioned it either, but I’ll be talking about iPhone Web Application development, and I’ll be hanging out talking about iPhone native app development at a birds of a feather chat if you are into iPhone stuff.

I am not sure if WebDU is sold out yet, but you might be able to score a last minute ticket…

ftl mode * Reworked references to embedded JavaScript, CSS to get better highlighting on the opening tags * Reworked embedded HTML tags and close tags to mirror changes to HTML mode

p>rhtml mode * Reworked references to embedded JavaScript, CSS to get better highlighting on the opening tags * Reworked embedded HTML tags and close tags to mirror changes to HTML mode

<

p>shtml mode * Reworked references to embedded JavaScript, CSS to get better highlighting on the opening tags * Reworked embedded HTML tags and close tags to mirror changes to HTML mode

html embed include

• Reworked HTML mode to specify all valid HTML tags including for HTML5;
• Definition of common (pre-HTML5 and new stuff from HTML5) core attributes (id, class, etc.), events, and i18n attributes.

html_spans

• Reworked definitions of spans for HTML tags and HTML tags that handle delegation to appropriate rulesets; mods in conjunction with html.xml, inc/html.ixml, inc/html_close.ixml

javascript embed include

• Updates to include changes within jQuery 1.3 and jQuery UI 1.6 versions (as of early 02/2009)
• Reworked definition of spans for the SCRIPT tag used in other modes that could include JavaScript to get appropriate delegation and better handling of the syntax highlighting for the tag and its attributes.

tsql embed include

• Data type “name” not highlighted as a SQL data type, based on it also being a common tag attribute for CFML’s CFQUERY tag and the presence of both caused wierdness in the highlighting (this is definitely a change made based on my use of AFAE for CFML development rather than SQL development)

apache conf mode

added .conf, default, ssl, and .htaccess to the apache colouring mode.

If you use Afae, pass a thanks to Ron for all his hard work.

I just put up another maintenance release of Afae. If you installed Afae from the update site, you should be able to just do Find Sofware updates from the help menu.

Changes in this release include:

• Testing on Ganymede. (Seems to be fine)

• Ron Stewart’s patches for the Coldfusion mode – several syntax fixes.

• Ron Stewart’s patches for the PHP mode – several syntax fixes.

• Update to the Fusion II theme (again by the mighty Ron Stewart).

• New support for .ftl, freemarker template, files.

• Bug fix for PNG image resizing with transparent background.

• DTD fix to support IGNORE_CASE on SPAN and EOL_SPAN in mode files.

(There are no new features in this release)

Thanks for playing!
