- Bluefish memory claim rebuff - 2006-03-07 11:32:44 (davek)
It's probably about time I made a statement about memory usage of Screem compared to Bluefish.
Lightweight - Bluefish uses on startup 40%-45% of the memory that other editors such as Quanta and Screem use, and during a full session closer to 33% of what these other editors use.
Let's see. On startup for me (amd64):
App Resident Writable Shared screem 30.8 26.6 14.5 bluefish 18.3 16.5 10.9 Startup claim that Bluefish uses less verified, although at 62% of Screem's usage going off writable size, this is no where close to 40-45%. Screem however does one thing Bluefish doesn't on startup, load references as they are used for autocompletion, function tooltips etc. So what happens when we load the php 4.3 reference in Bluefish which Screem has already done?
App Resident Writable Shared screem 30.8 26.6 14.5 bluefish 46.4 43.8 11.7 33% less memory usage during a session? Looks like Bluefish is actually using more memory than Screem after only looking at the php reference.
- 0.17.1 release - 2006-01-23 12:08:55 (davek)
A new development version is now available, featuring new page / site dialogs with improved templating support, the appearence of a --enable-mozilla flag to use gecko instead of gtkhtml2, (not fully complete but works better than gtkhtml2 for css pages) and the use of enchant for spell checking by default (disable with --disable-enchant)
Due to a change in the startup code a recent development version of libgnome is required (2.13.7, part of the recent 2.13.5 platform release)

- 0.16.1 - 2005-11-16 03:48:52 (davek)
This release fixes a number of bugs that turned up in 0.16.0, and should also hopefully fix a long standing crash in the file browser pane.
- New stable release. - 2005-11-02 11:17:47 (davek)
The latest stable release is now available. This features all the changes / fixes made during the 0.15.x development cycle. There are no new required dependancies since 0.14.x, however compiling with --enable-enchant is advised, and of course will require libenchant. (>= 1.1.6)
Planned developments not made in the past six months will be added to the plans for 0.17.x.
"Stable" refers to the fact that major changes will only occur in development versions

This release will most likely become the 0.16.0 stable release unless there are any huge bugs.

Search / replace has finally been improved so the replace string can use \r \n and \t, and when using regular expressions \1 to \9 for matched subexpressions. The upload wizard has also been updated to be HIG compliant, and support for automatically toggling the online/offline status by listening for NetworkManager messages.
