[PyKDE] ANN: first snapshot of the eric3 3.8 development

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

this is to let you know about the release of the first snapshot of the 3.8 
development of eric3. It includes a bunch of bug fixes (thanks to all who 
reported them) and these new functionality.

  -- some interface cleanups and little reorganization of the
     configuration dialog
  -- added action to open multiple files
  -- added the capability to delete shapes to the graphics dialogs
  -- extended task management with categorization and a colorized
     display
  -- added the capability to use %-codes for entering command line
     arguments. Supported codes are:
       %D   directory of the current editor
       %F   filename of the current editor
       %H   home directory of the current user
       %U   user name of the current user
       %%   the percent sign
     This functionality is available in the following dialogs:
       configuration dialog, Debugger->General page
       version control system, Command Options
       cvs, Execute Command
       subversion, Execute Command
       Tools Configuration
  -- added the commandline option "--nokde" to disable usage of the
     KDE dialogs
  -- added a configuration option to set the default encoding for
     files, that don't contain an encoding marker
  -- added possibility for path translation for passive debugging
     and remote debugging (Configuration Dialog -> Debugger -> General)
  -- added capability to generate source documentation using CSS style 
     sheets to the eric3-doc utility (including the default style and
     a style with reversed headers) (Note: eric3-helpviewer cannot
     show the styles due to the limited HTML support in QTextBrowser)

As usual it is available via the snapshots link on 
http://www.die-offenbachs.de/detlev/eric3.html.

Regards,
Detlev
