Change Log

  • 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 <url> 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...
