NativeFileSystem

requestNativeFileSystem successCallback - https://github.com/adobe/brackets/pull/2158 The successCallback now returns a FileSystem object with a root:DirectoryEntry property. Previously the callback returned the root:DirectoryEntry itself.
Replace FileError with NativeFileError (implements DOMError) - https://github.com/adobe/brackets/pull/2318 The latest w3 spec passes specifies that error callbacks pass a DOMError object instead of FileError. FileError.code is replaced with DOMError.name. The deprecated enumeration for FileError types has been replaced with an enumeration in NativeFileError (module: file/NativeFileError). This pull request also fixes some consistency issues with error callbacks

#1551: Changes within an extension (or a unit test) are not reflected by a simple "Debug > Reload Brackets." Workarounds:
- Quit and re-launch Brackets to pick up the changes.
- Open Developer Tools, click the gear icon in the lower-right, and select "Disable cache." This setting is remembered, but is only in effect so long as the Developer Tools browser tab remains open.
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.
Debug > Show Developer Tools opens in a new tab in Chrome, rather than a new window in Brackets.
#1283: Text selection highlight sometimes jiggles when horizontally resizing window.
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.
