* 2.2.11 *

Bluefish 2.2.11 is a minor maintenance release and minor feature release. The 
only exception to that is the python 3 compatibility which is a major change. 
If you compile Bluefish with python 3, you might experience new bugs. There 
are various minor changes as well. Double click selection has been improved 
(for example selecting a function name that has underscores), and is now 
configurable per language. Bluefish now has a feature to fill a line with 
spaces up to a mouse click, so you can start typing in any position on the 
screen (with a fixed width font). A crash when running very large replace 
actions on disk on many files has been fixed. Search and replace now ignore 
backup files by default. Cursor highlighting and line highlighting have been 
fixed for a rare bug. A small new feature has been added, to insert output from 
an external command in the current cursor position. Many language files have seen 
updates, most notably CSS, Python and HTML. A data loss bug - when an unknown 
encoding was selected - was fixed, the fallback is now to save as UTF-8. A bug 
when saving with unknown characters in the filename has also been fixed. Printing 
has been improved such as printing in landscape. Some small tweaks to the UI have 
been implemented. For example you can now search in files in the filebrowser (right 
click a directory). Search results can now be shown in the output pane. The current 
identifier can be selected using <shift><control><i>. There various fixes when 
Bluefish is run on top of Wayland.

The filter code furthermore caused a segfault if the command did not exist. The
Windows version finally supports open in running process. Next to these bugs
many small issues have been resolved. Development checks are now only enabled if
Bluefish is compiled from svn, not if compiled from tarball. Various language
files have small improvements, most notably C, Javascript and CSS. Several
translations have been updated. A corner case for a new document from a template
that does not exist was fixed. The "open" submenu now opens SVG files from the
filebrowser instead of inserting an image tag. The included cssmin and jsbeatify

was fixed, he "Report bug" link was broken, a new "conditional" option to the
language file that makes re-using certain blocks of language files easier was

and the "open file" dialog size have been improved.

* 2.2.5 *

Bluefish 2.2.5 is a minor bug fix release but has also quite some new features.
The syntax scanning engine is faster after small changes to the text. The
filebrowser is also much faster with less memory usage, with various fixes and
new features. Projects now store the active document and active line numbers.
Indenting is improved in auto-completion and the smart indenting. Bookmarks and
paste special also have been improved. On OSX there are many improvements, such
as Mavericks support, Retina display support, working system hotkeys, native
input methods (Japanese, Chinese, etc.), opening files from the finder and
Widget bindings on MacOSX are moved to Cmd+C|V|X|A and working. Furthermore
almost all syntax highlighting has been improved, most notable jquery in

feature, scrollwheel-zoom, language syntax detection and character encoding
detection, toggle comment, split view, better ui language detection on OSX and
Windows, and several more. The performance of Bluefish has been improved in a
couple of ways, most notably the auto-completion popup speed. New features
include more simple search options, paste special (to paste for example images
from Libreoffice), control-tab to switch to the most recent document, save as
copy, and pylint, cssmin, jsmin, csstidy and php_beautifier integration. Various
language syntax definition files have also been improved. With this release the
minimum required gtk version is bumped to 2.20.

search had major fixes, and a lorem ipsum generator was added. The GUI was
restructured in some areas, and some shortcut key combinations were added. Some
visibility features were added such as a bigger cursor and cursor highlighting,
and some options were improved such as zoom and the custom colors. External
commands had some changes such as better cursor positioning after a filter has
been used, user supplied arguments for external commands, and an option to
restore the default settings. On the multiplatform front: the broken shortcut
key S was fixed on OSX, and file recovery was fixed on Windows. On the web front
some dialogs were added for HTML5, the thumbnail generator was fixed, and insert
color, path and relative path have been added. Many language files were
improved, and more user configurable options have been added to most language
files. You can now select a block of text by dragging the mouse in the margin,
and move the selected block with <ctrl><up> and <ctrl><down>.


* 2.2.2 *

Bluefish 2.2.2 is largely a bug fix release with some very minor new features. A
regression in the search functionality was fixed, that caused a segfault if a
document with search results was closed. Multiple replace with search results
directly next to each other corrupting the text was also fixed. The broken
cursor positioning that ruined the Zencoding plugin was also fixed. On the
multiplatform front: on Windows handling of the profile directory with non-ascii
characters was fixed and on MacOSX image browsing in the image dialog was fixed.
Two GTK-3 related bugs where fixed: the CSS dialog was unusable on GTK-3 and the
right margin indicator was positioned wrong. Next to the major fixes several
small memory leaks where fixed. Next to the bug fixes some small improvements
where made. Startup is slightly faster using more threads during startup and
improving the document recovery. The annoying scrolling of the side bar
filebrowser in 'treeview' mode was fixed, descriptions of language options where
fixed, and some menu strings, some HTML5 options where improved, accelerators
and shortcut keys got improved and translations got better. The new features:
duplicate line and delete line, and the Catalan translation.

* 2.2.1 *

Bluefish 2.2.1 is mostly a bug fix release, but it has one major new feature:
Zencoding support (requires python). The bug fixes include a fix to build on
Gtk+-2.22, many translations are better up-to-date, a fix for PCRE regular
expression searching, several layout fixes for Gtk+-3.2, several obscure
segfault fixes, a fix for autocompletion of variables in PHP, <img> dialog
fixes, and some memory-leak fixes.

* 2.2.0 *

Bluefish 2.2.0 is a new major release and the start for the 2.2 series. Under
the hood Bluefish 2.2.0 has a massive number of changes: Bluefish now works with
gtk-3 (gtk-2 is still supported), and the syntax scanner had a major overhaul to
make it faster, which is especially noticeable when working on large files.

Another big change in Bluefish 2.2.0 is the new search and replace function. It
has been completely redesigned: the simple search function is now integrated in
the main window, and the new function supports both search and replace in files
on disk (next to already opened documents). Other new features include a toggle
comment function that is context-aware (add <!-- --> comments in html code, use
// comments in javascript code, etc.) and a select block feature that
automatically selects the current context block and can be used multiple times
to select the parent blocks. Another new feature of the syntax recognition is
the autocompletion of user-defined functions, and a jump function that will
bring you immediately the the definition of a function.

Next to all the new features many existing features have been improved and
polished. Support for new languages has been added, such as Google Go, Vala and
Ada. See the introduction to Bluefish 2.2.0 movie for a good overview.
