What's New in Sprint 34

UI Changes

Dark-themed window chrome on Mac - the Mac shell now has a dark window chrome that visually complements the Brackets UI. (The Windows shell received a similar update in Sprint 31).

API Changes

File System API - TODO

New/Improved Extensibility APIs

• Closing files - TODO: new DocumentCommandHandlers API for closing multiple files in a batch

TODO

Known Issues

• Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) by default will not allow Brackets to run since it's not digitally signed yet. To work around this, right click the Brackets app and choose Open. You only need to do that once -- afterward, launching Brackets the normal way will work also.
• #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.
• #4362: Slow startup of Brackets and Live Preview on Windows due to Chrome proxy settings. See workaround.
• 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

TODO

Pulling source code from Git

• A new brackets-shell build is required for this sprint (due to new CEF libraries, Dark Shell changes on Mac and Win). Be sure to rerun grunt setup before building.
• Some submodules were updated this sprint. Run git submodule update to ensure your source tree is fully up to date.
