Release Notes: 0.44

This is a draft!

This document will not be finalized until the end of Release 0.44 -- approximately October 5.

What's New in Release 0.44

• TODO: draft!
• Split View
  • Vertical & Horizontal Split View: View two files side by side or stacked vertically. (Note: it is not yet possible to view the same file in both panes).
• Stylesheet Editing
  • Collapse unwanted Quick Edit results: Quickly collapse results from a particular CSS, SCSS, or LESS file. For example, when using a preprocessor you can hide results from the compiled CSS file to focus on results in your original SCSS/LESS code.
  • Fix bug #9002 - Brackets freezes during Live Preview on a line within a CSS/SCSS/LESS block comment that contains nothing but "}" with no indent.
  • Fix bug #8966 - Inline editor is blank if your CSS rule contains a vendor-prefixed property that uses a rgb()-like color value.
• Files and Folders
  • Project tree improvements: Many small bug fixes in the sidebar file tree. Notably, it's now possible to right-click files that Brackets cannot open (such as binary files and non-UTF8 text files).

Known Issues

• Activity Monitor in Mavericks (OS X 10.9) says the Brackets Helper process is "Not Responding" even when it's working normally (#5794). You can safely ignore this unless Brackets is actually failing to respond when you click or type text.
• #2272: Windows Vista may not allow the Brackets installer to run (you may not see any error message). To work around this, right-click the installer file, choose Properties, and click the Unblock button.
• Debug > Run Tests is disabled in the installer/DMG distributions of Brackets, because the unit test code is not included. To run unit tests, pull Brackets from GitHub instead.

Community contributions to Brackets

Pulling source code from Git

• TODO: any brackets-shell updates?
• Some submodules were updated this sprint. Run git submodule update to ensure your source tree is fully up to date.
