Ontwikkelaar Daniel Glazman heeft op zijn weblog Glazblog een nieuwe versie van Nvu geïntroduceerd. De update is genummerd als 0.70 en kan vanaf deze server in verschillende gecompileerde uitvoeringen gedownload worden. Nvu is een zogenaamd Web Authoring System voor zowel Windows als Linux en MacOS X. De software moet concurreren met programma's als FrontPage en Dreamweaver. Nvu is gebaseerd op de code base van Mozilla Composer en stelt zich als doel om gemakkelijk in gebruik te zijn, ook voor de niet technisch onderlegde gebruiker. De lijst met veranderingen ziet er als volgt uit:
Changelog:
- Nvu is now based on Firefox 1.0 codebase! Many thanks to Benjamin Smedberg for his crucial help.
- As a side-effect of the above, the Extensions and Themes managers now work correctly. A few extensions are available from there. Developers willing to create new extensions or themes for Nvu need its application ID.
- Help menu entries now correctly launch the browser on Linspire. If it does not, you miss the file /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-ext.
- Linspire, Fedora2/KDE and Windows versions now all display icons for files and dirs in the site manager (thanks Michael Pyne for help on KDE/Qt)
- The character set can be changed on the fly and chosen by default in the preferences.
- ™ character added to the Insert Special Characters dialog.
- PHP processing instructions were incorrectly serialized with a leading >?php, this is now fixed :-)
- Publishing a document was firing an alert, it's now gone.
- The Inline Spell Checker is turned OFF by default because it drastically impacts performance when you save a loooong document or switch back from source to normal view.
- Source view enhanced to prepare line numbering (should be available in 0.80)
- On some linux platforms, the Site Manager's sidebar was empty on first launch. Closing and relaunching Nvu made it appear again normally. This is now fixed.
- Context-click on the last tab to close it left the tabeditor grey, this is now fixed
- Editing the source view and switching back does not double the contents of the document any longer
- Progress on non-localizable strings although it's still a work in progress (thanks to Flore and Bob for the list)
- Localization uses the composer/locales directory.
- oh, and of course, nvu -edit
now launches the app AND opens the requested document :-) Please don't forget /home/glazman/foo.html and C:\home\glazman\foo.html are not URLs... file:///home/glazman/foo.html is a URL...
