Bespin 0.7.2 ("Ashwell") Release Notes
Up - Next Release - Previous Release
Known Issues
Bespin 0.7.2 is alpha software. It is still under active development and APIs are subject to change. Bespin 0.7 marks the first server release since the Bespin project Reboot. There is still a bit of work required before the server reaches feature and polish parity with 0.4.4. However, Bespin 0.7 also does a number of things that 0.4.4 didn't.
For Bespin Embedded:
- Bespin Embedded does not attach correctly to a textarea (bug 535819; workaround: change the textarea to a div first)
- Options are not settable at runtime (bug 549679)
- There is no CSS syntax highlighting yet (bug 547272)
- Bits of the cursor may remain when focusing the editor (bug 550642)
- The editor can flicker when it regains focus (bug 550642)
- The editor does not yet support tab characters (bug 543999)
- The Embedded editor remains larger than we'd like, but shrinking it down is low priority at the moment
For Bespin Server:
- Collaboration is not done yet (bug 554943)
- The File Explorer is still missing (bug 554945)
- The "vcs clone" command has not been updated (bug 554624)
- The "svn" commands have not been resurrected (bug 554625)
- project import and export have not been resurrected (bug 554946 and bug 554947)
- The command line does not yet support aliases, which means that you may need to use different names for some of the commands you're used to in earlier Bespins (bug 543968)
- Pressing enter quickly after typing the last character on the command line can lead to the last character of input getting chopped off (bug 554952)
- The preview command has not been brought back (bug 554958)
Features
- The server now supports logging errors to ErrorStack (bug 558311)
