Announcing TEASE (text editing and scripting environment) version 1.2.1.
Tease is a text editor designed to provide a common editing & scripting
environment across multiple operating system environments. It is written
entirely in Tcl/tk.
1.2.1 is a bug-fix release. A number of bugs relating to spaces in filenames,
file loading and saving were the bulk of the changes in this build.
Tease features:
* fast context-menu commenting, including mutli-line comments (/* */, <!--
-->, etc)
* easy-configurable filetype/comment window
* output panel and one-click script execution (in unix AND windows!)
* execlog capability (kick off a process, read its stdout)
* detailed color selection (text, bg, selection)
* native tcl tail-f
* expanded line sort options (increasing/decreasing/unique)
* regexp search/replace
* unlimited undo/redo (thank you, tcl 8.4!)
* reasonably effective encryption
* fast upper/lower-casing of selected text
* saving window preferences
* basic printing capability on win32
* "recent files" quick load
* line-based load routine, so you can start to read large files immediately
...and here's what's coming down the pipe:
* easy filetype association management
* scripting interface to allow compilation and other manipulation
* saving "sessions"
* MDI/SDI/joint mode switch ability
* more advanced sorting, columnar, delimiter, etc
* CLI operations (sorting, filtering, searching, etc) on file batches
* Russian language/internationalization/multiple encoding support
* better printing (auto-wrapping, unix printing)
* oh yeah, context highlighting...
* ...and more to come after that.
I routinely work in unix and windows, and was very tired of having some features
in one environment and not in the other. Also, as much of my work involves
programming, software tools support, and handling of special, intensive tasks, I
often need quick turnaround on my scripts. Having the same rich set of tools
available with each O/S often reduces the number of hoops I have to jump through
(and consequently, the overall time I spend) to get there... f'rinstance, tail-f
on windows, sorting lines, exec output logging, etc.

This is the fourth release of tease, comprised of 4 bug fixes. It is available
in binary and source form under the Common Public License. Thanks, and enjoy!
