+<p>Welcome to the first Geany newsletter with highlights of the last few weeks
+during Geany development and use. This newsletter is not intended to give a
+complete overview of Geany news, but is trying to collect the most important
+items. Have fun and happy coding!</p>

+<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">Geany 0.20 has been released</a></h1>
+<p>On January 2011, the 6th version 0.20 of Geany "Disra" was released. As always
+the release contained a number of bug fixes as well as improvements and new
+features.
+Some of the highlights:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Improve compatibility with GVfs using GIO to save documents (Alexey Antipov).</li>
+<li>Fix occasional crashes when closing a modified document and choosingSave.</li>
+<li>Reorganize Find in Files dialog and add Files pattern to filter searchresults.</li>
+<li>Show mimetype icon in sidebar Documents list and notebook popup menu (Colomban Wendling).</li>
+<li>Add per-document indent width setting (Jiri Techet).</li>
+<li>Fix passing quoted arguments when using "Send Selection to". This means e.g. sed ’s/./(dot)/g’ now works.</li>
+<li>Add alternative color scheme based on Python colors (View-Editor-ColorSchemes - not all filetypes supported yet).</li>
+<li>Auto-indent after an HTML/XML line without a closing tag (Eugene Arshinov).</li>
+<li>Add Forth filetype (Thomas Huth).</li>
+<li>Add Lisp filetype (Mário Silva).</li>
+<li>Add Erlang filetype (Taylor Venable).</li>
+<li>Add translations: kk.</li>

+<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">Geany-Plugins 0.20 have been released</a></h1>
+<p>Shortly after the release of Geany the Geany-Plugins collection was released
+with version 0.20. This collection includes a number of useful plugins, not
+shipped with Geany itself. This release is the result of about 6 months of
+development work and so it has quite a number of changes and some new plugins:</p>

+<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">New plugins</a></h2>
+<div class="section" id="updatechecker">
+<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">UpdateChecker</a></h3>
+<p>UpdateChecker implements a check for new releases of Geany and notifies the
+user when one is available. It’s based on libsoup and can be configured to
+check during startup or on request.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="webhelper">
+<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">WebHelper</a></h3>
+<p>WebHelper is a plugin that provides some web development facilities, such as a
+web page preview and some debugging tools (web inspector). The plugin
+implements the following features:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>A basic web view, allowing the display of any web page (using WebKit);</li>
+<li>Possible automatic reloading of the web view upon document saving;</li>
+<li>A web inspector/debugging tool for the web view’s content (including a
+JavaScript console, a viewer and editor of processed HTML and CSS, a
+network usage analysis tool and many more, thanks to WebKit).</li>
+</ul>

+<p>The File Browser plugins adds to the sidebar a tab with which you can browser
+files and folders. By default it shows the contents of the folder containing
+the first file opened in Geany. You can navigate to other drives and folders
+using any of the options available at the very top of the tab:</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Up: Navigates to one folder higher in the file system.</li>
+<li>Home: Navigates to your Home folder.</li>
+<li>Set path from document: Sets the active folder to the one containing the
+current active document.</li>
+<li>Folder input box: Here you can enter any path you want to see in the File
+Browser. As you type the path it will offer autocompletion of the folder’s
+name.</li>
+</ul>
+<img alt="../img/issue1_filebrowser.png" src="../img/issue1_filebrowser.png" />
+<p>Also at the top of the tab is the Filter input box in which you can enter a
+file specification of those files you want to appear in the File Browser. The
+file specifications must be quite simple - e.g. g*.py or *.xml. Regular

+<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">Comments formatting</a></h3>
+<p>When writing source code or in a markup language, it’s often necessary to mark
+one or more lines as a comment. Geany offers several functions from the Edit
+-> Format sub-menu which make this very easy:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>Comment Line(s)</li>
+<li>Uncomment Line(s)</li>
+<li>Toggle Line Commentation</li>
+</ul>
+</blockquote>
+<p>To use these options on a single line, put the cursor on that line and select
+the menu option. To use them on a block of code, select the whole block then
+select the menu option. The Toggle Line Commentation menu option will, as its
+name suggests, add comment markers to a normal line/section of code and, if the
+line/section is already a comment, remove the comment markers. What’s great
+about these options is that they insert or remove the comment markers
