RoRED

Version 0.9.5.2

What’s new (mainly annoyance fixes):

• Better support of code completion/proposal for classes and models.
• When starting, RoRED asks if you want to reload the last workspace.
• RoRED detects if a file is changed/deleted by an external application, prompting for reloading/closing editor.
• Added “Save all changes (SHIFT+CTRL+S)” to save all changed files in a shot.
• The hints for parameters, usually triggered when opening brackets “(”, can now be disabled from “Properties”->”Preferences”->”Disable inline code hints”
• If you have jruby, now you can launch it from RoRED by selecting “jruby script/server” in the top left combo (eventually create your jruby.bat file and add it to Windows’ search path)

What’s new (not much, only two fixes):

• Finally, TAB Width and Indent Width values are preserved when exiting RoRED.
• Occasional “Access Violation” error when opening a project should be fixed. In case you have that error, a temporary workaround consists in deleting the file named “RoRED.cfg” contained in your app’s directory.
• Note: a known bug might mess up your source file when doing Search/Replace and confirming each replacement. I apologize for this problem, i will try to fix the bug.

RoRED with wine under Linux

I succesfully used RoRED under Linux, with wine .
The editor works fine, the only not workin things are the buttons “Start Server”, “Console”, “Breakpointer”, “cmd” : they hang up, so don’t use them.

What’s new:

• Editors are now based on Scintilla http://www.scintilla.org/
• UTF-8 support.
• Various Charsets supported (including chinese).
• Customizable colors and styles (with predefined Light and Dark theme).
• Code folding.
• Block comments.
• Optionally Alphabetical sorted methods list.
• Persistent treeview node states.
• Quick Switch between Controller and Views pressing F12.
• Mousewheel now rolls editors tabs for fast access.
• Tooltips over tabs showing full filename.
• Support for subfolder structures (Ex: controllers/users/admins)
• Code proposal:
  • Press CTRL+SPACE to have a dropdown list completing your code as you type it.
  • The proposal list is currently populated with all methods found in source files inside the app, libraries and plugins folders, (will soon add local variables and Classes).
  • The proposal list provides additional quick filtering between source types (MVC, helpers, libraries, tests) and the source file name.
  • Right-click on an item in the proposal list to show a popup menu, allowing to open the source file.
• Parameters hint:
  • Press SHIFT+CTRL+SPACE when inside round brackets to see a hint displaying the parameters for the method.
  • The parameters list is currently populated with all methods found in source files inside the app, libraries and plugins (as the Code proposal).
• Open method’s source:
  • CTRL+CLICK or press ALT+SPACE to have a dropdown list of methods matching the text under the cursor.
  • Click the item in the list to open and navigate to the method.
  • The method’s source list is currently populated with all methods found in source files inside the app, libraries and plugins folders (as the Code proposal).

• … and Many fixes.

What’s new:
Just a few things:

• Added per-project persistent settings for start server (now with either WEBrick or Mongrel)
• Added “New file…” command to easily create new files
• Added better “Open rails project” dialog.
• Added custom code autocompletion for .rb and .html/.rhtml files:
  Pressing SHIFT+SPACE will expand the text before the cursor into your custom code. Use “Properties/General Options” menu to customize.
  Note: the setup does not contain any autocompletions, so you’ll have to write yours (it’s easy)

What’s new:
Not really much, mainly fixes:

• Fixed settings persistence of code inspectors/maps
• Uniformed font size on all editors
• Customized TAB size (General Options menu)
• Changed user license (really free for all)
• Fix HTML escapes. (fixes some escapes) Customizable escapes in next release.

• Refresh directories button, Editor Switch back-forward buttons
• Other minor fixes

For the past few months plasmacode.com has been down due to a previous host’s decision to pack up their bags. However J2 Web Systems, a San Antonio Ruby on Rails development firm, has offered their servers as a service to Plasma Code and the Ruby on Rails community.
