Ruber 0.0.10 released
2011-10-21
A new release which includes two new plugins and significant improvements to
the RSpec and Auto End plugins.
Changes
- Added a RI plugin. You can now insert the class or method name in the RI tool widget
and see the documentation in a nice HTML format inside the tool widget itself.
This plugin requires RDoc version 3.x (it isn’t tested with version 2.x).
- Added an IRB plugin
- The syntax checker plugin has been rewritten. Now other plugins can check the
syntax of a document
- Ruby and YAML syntax checker now are in their own plugin, rather than being part
of the syntax checker plugin
- The auto end plugin doesn’t use indentation anymore to decide whether the end keyword
should be inserted or not. Instead, it performs a syntax check and only inserts
end if ruby reports a missing end keyword. This should improve the accuracy of
the plugin
- The Auto End plugin now inserts the
end keyword after a case expression
- Clicking on a file name in an output widget with the middle mouse button now
prevents the tool widget from being hidden, as if the pin button were clicked
- Changed the interface to specify patterns in the RSpec plugin
- The RSpec plugin now supports specs inside subdirectories. You can also specify
subdirectories inside the pattern to match code file and the respective spec
file
- When choosing the Run Specs for Current File action in the RSpec plugin, if the current
document is associated with a code file, all the specs associated with it are
run (previously, only one of them was run)
- When choosing the Run Current Spec action in the RSpec plugin, if the current
document is a code file, the plugin will look at the most recently activated
editor containing a spec file for the current file to determine which is the
current spec.
- The behaviour of output widgets when clicking on a file name which requires
opening a new editor has changed. The choice made by the user to open the editor
in the current tab by splitting the current editor is ignored if the current
tab already contains more than one editor. The reason is that usually there
won’t be enough space on the sceen to comfortably accomodate more than two
editors.
Ruber 0.0.9 released
2011-05-30
Another much delayed release. With only three new features and a copule of fixed
bugs, the changelog is quite short, but implementing two of the new features
required a complete rewriting of some of the Ruber internals, which took a long
time.
Changes
- It is now possible to have more than one open project at the same time
- When a project is active, only the editors associated with it are visibile
- Editors not associated with a project are visible only when there’s no active
project
- Made the Auto End plugin recognize some other keywords:
unless, for, while,
until (the last two were already recognized when followed by a do)
- The RSpec plugin now correctly displays pending examples
- Fixed a crash when creating a new document and saving it as a ruby file while
using the Syntax Checker plugin
Ruber 0.0.8 released
2011-02-07
This release brings a number of new features (and some minor bug fixes).
Changes
- Added a new plugin: Auto End, which automatically inserts
end
keywords after module, class, if…
- Added a button to prevent clicking on a file in a tool widget to close it
while opening the file (replaces the use of the Meta key for the same scope)
- Allow to open a new editor when clicking on a file name in a tool widget with
the Meta key pressed
- Added horizontal scrollbars to the RSpec tool widget
- Unified Replaced Switch to File and Switch to Spec menu entries in the Ruby/Test menu
- Added an option to have the Switch to Spec|Code menu entry create the editor
in the current tab (by splitting the current editor), so you can have code
and spec side by side (mostly useful for people with widescreens)
- The Command plugin is now able to show output sent to standard output and
standard error
- Added menu entries (with the corresponding shortcuts) to move between split views
in the current pane
- Disabled autoscrolling in tool widgets if the scroll bar is not at the end
Ruber 0.0.7 released
2011-01-12
This is a much delayed release, as it should have happened at least one month
ago. It brings one significant new feature: split views. Now you can have more
than one view in each tab, and also more than one view for each document!
Note that the git tag for this release is 0.0.7-r1.
Changes:
- more than one view for a single document now allowed
- more than one view in a single tab
- optional close buttons on tabs
- made the terminal program configurable. Now you don’t need to have Konsole
installed to run a script in a terminal.
Ruber 0.0.6 released
2010-11-14
After three extremely small releases (let’s say emergency releases), at last
here’s a version with some improvements.
Changes
- some bugs fixed
- ability to work with remote files. The RSpec and Rake plugin don’t work with
remote files (I don’t think it makes sense to do otherwise), but you can run
them in ruby.
Ruber 0.0.5 released
2010-11-03
Another very small, bugfix release. It fixes a bug which caused a crash when
attempting to open a file
Ruber 0.0.4 released
2010-11-03
With the 0.0.3 version skipped for technical reasons, this release brings two
bug fixes:
- a bug which caused a crash if a directory was missing
- a bug preventing new files from being created
Ruber 0.0.2 released
2010-11-03
This version contains a single, even if important, change. It fixes a bug
which made it impossible to start Ruber. The reason was that Ruber tried to
access a directory it should create itself at a later point. Since the directory
doesn’t exist, Ruber crashes.
Ruber 0.0.1 released
2010-10-29
First public version of Ruber released today. It’s still alpha-quality
and contains several bugs (most of them, unfortunately, appearing randomly
and so quite difficult to fix). However, most of the bugs do not cause loss
of data (at least if you enable autosaving), so you can try it.
