Announcing our latest release v0.3.6!🎉 This version packs in new features that continue to bring CodeEdit up to speed for use as a daily driver editor. Terminal task output, invisible characters, editor restoration, external file changes, and more! Read on! ⬇️

Previously, tasks displayed their output as plain text. Now they run in a specialized terminal built just for tasks. They're interactive, output color, and everything else you'd expect from your terminal!

Drawing invisible characters is one of our oldest open issues. This release finally closes it! You can now enable invisible characters, and customize which ones show as well as the placeholders used in their place.

A long-time pain point when working across multiple files was that CodeEdit didn’t remember your place when switching tabs. That’s fixed! CodeEdit will remember your scroll position and cursor placements between tabs, and between sessions so you can pick up right where you left off.

We've added support for external file changes. If you lint a file, or pull changes from git, those changes will be reflected in your open editors. If there's a conflict, CodeEdit will prompt you to save your changes or use the updated version from disk.

For those of you who like to live life on the edge, we’ve included an experimental language server installation menu. From here, you can install servers for most languages. We’ll be iterating quickly, so expect frequent updates on this.
