Leo 4.2 Beta 3 is now available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/leo/ This version of Leo is feature complete. Leo's core code has been stable for several months. To do: most plugins work with the new code base, but other plugins need some more work. Late note: the *nix install script will work better with *nix line endings :-) The highlights of Leo 4.2: - @thin trees make Leo much more friendly to cvs. - Leo's data structures have been reorganized to make outline operations significantly faster. All old script still work. - @test and @script nodes convert scripts to unit tests automatically. Converting scripts to unit tests now takes a few seconds! - A faster and more robust spell checker plugin. (requires Python 2.3) - Leo is now much more friendly to using spaces instead of tabs. - The Execute Script command reports erroneous lines more clearly. - The Perfect Import feature guarantee that Leo imports file exactly. - Leo draws large outlines more quickly with less memory used. - Dozens of other improvements. Quote of the month ------------------ Leo is the best IDE that I have had the pleasure to use. I have been using it now for about 2 -- 3 months.
