v2.8.0 - August update
👋 Hey there!
The last "normal" update was in May, and now it's August. Quite some time has passed! Many users are still on v2.5.0 because the last two versions were pre-releases, which SkEditor ignored in auto-updates.
This update, compared to the last pre-release version, is relatively small. I mainly focused on fixing numerous minor bugs.
Changes
- Added a current line highlighting feature. It's enabled by default in most editors, but SkEditor didn't even have the option. Now it's been added - it's on by default, can be toggled in personalization settings, and the highlight style can be changed in themes.
- App crashes should be better managed - the program should have no problem saving all files in time to reopen them on the next launch. Additionally, errors from addons won't shut down the program anymore - users will just get information about which addon is causing the error.
- Restored the Save All shortcut - however, it might not work on some keyboard layouts, e.g., Polish.
- Most windows should now be closable using the Escape key.
- Documentation, command generator, and GUI windows will now set focus on the text field by default when launched.
- SkEditor will now close the welcome window if the user opens a file.
- Queue saving should work better - auto-pairing shouldn't cause issues anymore.
- Fixed a few bugs in the Session Restore feature.
- Increased additional space for horizontal scrolling to make editing text at the edge more comfortable.
🎉 Enjoy!
