  • Updated the regular expression framework Ogrekit to 2.0.3 that supports Universal Binary.
  • Added new item "Find & Select" to the menu "Edit." Found items are selected as multiple discontinuous ranges at once. This function works on Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
  • Improved the behavior of "Replace All" so that the multiple selected areas are preserved after replacing.
  • Improved following Tools functions to support the multiple selection.
  • Hard Wrap Lines with LF, Remove LF's and Prefixes, Add Prefixes, Add Prefixes with Hard Wrapping, Remove Prefixes, Remove Leading Spaces and Remove Trailing Spaces.

  • Improved the specification of "Find All" and "Replace All" so that it will find/replace for entire document when the nothing was selected.
  • Changed the toolbar style to the unified title/toolbar look when running on Tiger.
  • Added "All Fonts" sub-menu to the toolbar Font Menu and enlarged the menu width.
  • Added new toolbar item "Marker Pen."
  • Improved the behavior of the toolbar Find field when ESC key was pressed.
  • Added an item "New Script" to the action menu of the Script Window. It adds a new item to the macro menu and invokes Script Editor automatically for editing the script. When pressing the "+" button of the Script Window, "New Script" function is also invoked.
  • Added an option "Convert FULLWIDTH TILDE '〜' (U+FF5E) to WAVE DASH '〜' (U+301C)" to the Preferences "Encoding."
  • Added items "YYYY-MM-DD", "System Short Date" and "System Long Date" to the menu "Name of New Document" in the Preferences "New Document."
  • Improved the behavior of the item "Open Last Documents" of the menu "At start-up" in the Preferences "General."
  • Improved the behavior of Jedit X Dock menu so that the documents opened are brought to the front of the screen.
  • Supported Smart Crash Reports which enables to send crash reports to Artman21 in addition to Apple. (This works on PowerPC Tiger.)
  • Improved the RTF document background color compatibility. You can change the document background color through the Font Panel.
  • Revised Jedit X Help manual.


Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed a scaling bug that characters are sometimes drawn a little narrow when the margin for document end was specified other than "None."
  • Fixed a bug of "Replace All" that no message were shown in the Find Panel when nothing were replaced.
  • Fixed a rich text incompatibility bug between Panther and Tiger when page breaks was contained in the document. 
  • Fixed a bug of the sample script "Consult Wikipedia.scpt" English version.
  • Fixed a RTFD saving bug that it failed to save the read-only document.
  • Fixed a bug that the numbering style menu popped up when the down arrow key was pressed at the document window opening.
  • Fixed a bug that the menu "Shift Right"/"Shift Left" did not work on the wrap to page display mode.
  • Improved the numbering font assignment to use System Font when the font "Helvetica" was not installed in the system.
  • Fixed a bug of the menu "Check Encoding Inconpertibility" that it did not work correctly when  both old and new type characters (ex. U+8D08 and U+FA65 for "贈") existed in the document.

Jedit X CommentaryNow has highlighting - Version: 1.28, 10/26/2005 11:15PM PST

The new "Character Back Color" menu item is what other editors call a highlighter. It is now possible to highlight text in any color you please. The cool thing about this feature is that I asked the developer about it only two weeks ago or so, and suddenly it's there. Nice. Of course, other (but not all) editors can do this too, but Jedit X has features I haven't found in others. Try it and see if it suits your working style. What I like about it is its bookmarks feature and the fact that its been rewritten in cocoa.

Jedit X CommentaryLuxury cocoa text editor - Version: 1.0.19b, 3/18/2005 12:25PM PST

ghostdoguk_dotmac is right, now that TextWrangler is
freeware this very fine cocoa text editor is a little over
priced. Tex-Edit Plus at $15 seems more on the mark.
But Jedit X is meant for the asian market and therefore
priced accordingly. The toolbar has all the options that
I wish the Nisus developers could have included in Express.
Unfortunately it's not a word processor and Apples own
TextEdit suits my slight daily needs of an rtf editor.

(fifteen bucks and I might change my mind;)
