KEdit should be quite usable now. + +kedit 0.5 +========= + +This is release 0.5 of KEdit. + +There are quite a number internal as external changes. The biggest +problem were a number of bugs that the underlying QMultiLineWidget +exhibits in Qt 1.2. For anything I started, be it find, replace, +word-wrap, indent-mode, loading, saving, I hit upon bugs in the +multiline widget and had to find work-arounds. This is the main +reason, why this new release took so long. However, the Trolls were +very responsive to my bug reports and helped me in finding work +arounds. The next release of qt, qt 1.3 should have a much better +multiline widget. Thanks, Trolls! + +One of the consequences of this is that find, find/replace, word-warp +and indent mode don't "feel right". They, as you will notice feel slow +and sluggish. We have to wait for qt 1.3 for this to improve. However +Qt 1.3 might well break some of the work arounds in place now, but I +will make a good effort to bring out a new version of kedit as soon as +qt 1.3 appears. + +I made so many changes, that I wouldn't be surprise if I broke some +basic functionality. Please test kedit and let me know immediately if +you think you found a bug. I will fix the problem as soon as +possible. + +Note: You need smgl-tools 0.99 if you want to regenerate the provided + documentation in ps, html, dvi format for the sgml source. + +Changes: + o adopted new kde look + o found workaround for faster loading and saving. + o find dialog working properly + o find/replace dialog working properly + o Indent Mode + o Goto Line + o Fill Column + o Word Wrap + o Documentation is now provided in sgml, ps, dvi, and html + o Rewrote the underlying kedit widget, so that it can now be used in + other applications such as kmail. + o rewrites, rewrites, rewrites .... still there is more + historical baggage left to get rid of.... + +TODO: + + o recently opened files list + o remember last directory the user opened a file in. + o Paragraph formatting + o Spell Checking (maybe) + o Option to turn backup file creation off. + o better support for net-files. + +Problems: + + o Help will only work with the next release of kdelibs. Alternatively + you can copy a copy of kedit.html, kedit.gif into + $(KDEDIR)/docs/HTML + + o kedit has currently problems to deal with color-scheme changes + without restarting kedit. I have made the necessary changes to + libkdecore to deal with this problem. You will however have to wait + for the next kdelibs release. At that time I will also bring out + a new version of kedit that will take advantage of those changes. + + +There is still lots to be done, but I hope you will find kedit a useful +little editor already. + +Best Regards, +Bernd + +wuebben@kde.org +wuebben@math.cornell.edu + +kedit+ 0.4.1 +============ + +Solved the "tab" problem. kedit+ is now Makefile proof. :-) + +kedit+ 0.4 +========== + +A few last minute changes to kedit+ 0.2 introduced an embarrassing bug, +which didn't let you "save as" an "Untitled" document. I fixed that +bug, and while I was at it I added colors to the Options dialog. +Now you can also set the fore- and background colors of kedit+. +Martin Konold suggested I bump the version number to something larger +than 0.3.1 which was the last release of kedit. + +Hope you will find this editor useful. + +I STILL NEED AN OPEN-FOLDER ICON !!!! PLEAE HELP :-) + +Best Regards, Bernd + +wuebben@kde.org +wuebben@math.cornell.edu + +kedit+ 0.2 +========== + +This is kedit+ a simple text editor for the KDE project. I have taken +Alex Sanda's kedit and turned it into what I believe to be +a useful little editor. I had to rewrite many parts of the original +kedit and added, as you will surely notice, many new features. +Nevertheless, it is still no emacs and will never be one ;-) + +I have tried to contact Alex, but haven't heard back from him. +Should kedit+ become kedit? kedit has not been developed for +about 4 month .... + + +HELP WANTED: I need an open-folder icon !!! + +I hope you like kedit+, the next Generation :-) + + +Bernd Wuebben +wuebben@kde.org +wuebben@math.cornell.edu + + +======================================================================== + + Kedit 0.3.1, small editor for the KDE project. + + +Kedit is a small, simple and almost featureless :) editor, just like +the well-known Notepad. It is suitable only for small editing tasks, or +as a simple textfile browser. + +Currently, kedit is in a very early development stage. It can load, +save/saveas files, and - of course - it can edit those files :) There is +some room for improvements, but I really want this editor to be small and +simple. + +Kedit can open multiple windows (so you can edit multiple files), without +having multiple copies of the whole program in memory. + + + +Changes +======= + +Version 0.3.1 (Martin Hartig, hartig@mathematik.uni-kl.de, 21.2.97) + +- usage of the kdehelp browser, HTML help text added + +Version 0.3 (Torben Weiss, weiss@kde.org, 4.2.97 ) + +- Drag and Drop added + +- Added network access. Can load any file kfm can. To use this feature you + must run kfm. If none is running kedit will start one on demand. + +- Can save files everywhere kfm can, this means right now that you can + write to ftp servers. + +- Using libkdecore and libkfm. This means you need libkde-0.61 and + kfm-0.51 or greater installed + +- Fixed some bugs + +- Works with any amount of windows now + +- Changed some key bindings, but not all + +- You can call + make + make install + + +TODO: + Implement search again (and maybe replace), including regexp + support. At the moment, only the search dialog has been implemented. + + Clean up some stuff, make it more user-friendly(tm). + + Keybindings: I'am sure, they are currently not kde-conform. + + Use (a not existing) KFileDialog that lets you enter URLs + + + Bernd |
