Redcar 0.3.3dev Released

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Redcar 0.3.3dev is now available on Gemcutter. Install it and let us know what you think.
This release adds configurable tab widths, soft tabs and single instance support.
You’ll notice that the language combo box has disappeared from the bottom of the window. We’ve turned that into a speedbar so it’s hidden by default. This makes [...]

Redcar 0.3.2dev released

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

I just pushed 0.3.2dev, please update to it and send me your comments or bugs.
This release ports to JRuby about half the remaining features. Redcar is getting fun to use again, with autocompletion, more text commands, block typing mode and simple search.
Internally I made a ton of changes as well, particularly by completely replacing [...]

Redcar 0.3.1dev Released

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

I just pushed 0.3.1dev to Gemcutter.
This release changes the install process slightly. You now have to do:
$ sudo gem install redcar –pre
$ sudo redcar install

This removes the ugly hack that downloads the jars as part of the gem
install, because it made rubygems think ‘make’ was required when it
wasn’t really. [...]

Here’s 0.3.0dev of Redcar. This is a developer preview, to let interested parties investigate the Redcar internals as we port to JRuby. You would have to be a little bit mad to want to use Redcar right now if you are not interested in hacking on it.
To install:
sudo gem install redcar –pre

Those of you who [...]

Redcar has some new developers. Mark Wilkinson is responsible for the SaveAll command that is now in the File menu and Cairo Noleto has made some useful changes. Thank you to Daniel Gaiottino for filing loads of bugs too. It’s nice not to be [...]

Approaching Release 0.1

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

We’re approaching the first release of Redcar (0.1). I’m naming it the “Dogfood release” as my number one goal is that I should be able to use it myself as my primary editor. At the moment I’m managing to develop Redcar from within Redcar, but I still don’t use it for work.
Work remaining before I [...]
