[Geany] CVS checkout
by Kurt Maier 01 May '06

01 May '06

Just so you know, SourceForge automatically makes nightly tarballs of all its projects. I was able to get geany's source during the downtime by downloading http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/geany-cvsroot.tar.bz2 The thing to remember is that gives you an actual CVS repository. You still have to do tar -jxvf geany-cvsroot.tar.bz2 mv geany geanycvs cvs -d /path/to/geanycvs co geany You can then cd into geany/ and compile as usual. Of course, this tarball is only updated nightly, so it'll be up to a day behind, but you can actually use this trick to get any project's CVS code without relying on the crappy anonymous CVS servers.

[Geany] Geany and Debian Testing
by Enrico Tröger 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

Hi again, if someone is using Debian Testing and want to use Geany, I recommend to downgrade your GTK libraries to 2.8.10. The required packages are available at http://www.uvena.de/files/gtk-2.8.10/. You need this version because of a bug in Geany with newer GTK versions which causes crashes. I'm sorry about and try to fix the bug as soon as possible. regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.key Geany, a lightweight IDE using GTK2 - http://geany.uvena.de

[Geany] New Release: Geany 0.6
by Enrico Tröger 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

Hi, Geany 0.6 has been released. Changes since Geany 0.5: * added option to place new file tabs to the right or left of the tab list * improved file open dialog * improved scrolling of the compiler output window * rewrote most of the code for compiling files, now all settings are read from filetype definition files * now, you can drag files from a file manager into Geany and they will be opened * improved handling of filenames which contain non-UTF8 chars * added user-definable comment characters to all filetype definition files * implemented folding * added file properties dialog * improved search and find dialogs * Geany now creates a FIFO, to communicate between different instances for opening files in an already running instance * added filetypes SQL and (O)Caml * many small improvements * fixed lots of bugs, including #1419473, #1422135, #1421776 and #1441359 (for a complete list see the ChangeLog, also available on http://geany.uvena.de) All downloads can be found on http://geany.uvena.de/ http://www.uvena.de/files/ or https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153444 Some important notes: Be sure to backup any modified files in $prefix/share/geany. All of the filetype defintion files in this location will be overwritten since they all have changed. I'm sorry about that and I promise with Geany 0.7 it will be better because than you can overwrite these settings with files in your home directory. i rewrote most of the code which is related to the build menu item. Now you can define the compiler(also linker and view programs) path and options in the filetype definition files ($prefix/share/geany/filetype.*) and you can even use wildcards. The options are described in the files. I think with Geany 0.7 or 0.8 I will write some documentation for that, but at the moment there is no time. *Important* Please use Geany with care, if you have newer GTK libraries installed. Since GTK 2.8.12 Geany seems to be very unstable and crashes very often. This bug still exists in this release, so I recommend to downgrade the GTk libraries or use Geany very carefully. Sorry, I try to find the bug. I want especially thank Nick Treleaven, who sent me many patches for this release and Veit Wahlich who builds the Fedora Core 4 RPMs of Geany. Another nice thing: Geany will be included in PuppyLinux 1.09 and it can be installed from the FreeBSD ports, yeah.

[Geany] drag-and-drop with pcmanfm
by Kurt Maier 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

I'm using the 0.6 preview 2, downloaded from this post: http://lists.uvena.de/pipermail/geany/2006-April/000076.html I use pcmanfm (http://pcmanfm.sourceforge.net/ ) and I wanted to let you know that when I try to drag files into geany from it, geany tells me it "Cannot stat file." For completeness, I run Slackware linux (10.2, updated to -current), and I have the latest gtk & glib libraries installed. I do not run GNOME or KDE. Thanks for your time, and thanks for making such a great program! Kurt

[Geany] Geany 0.6 preview2
by Enrico Tröger 27 Apr '06

27 Apr '06

Hi, there is a new preview version, with some minor changes: - improved the file properties dialog(file menu->properties) - improved file open dialog, it is now more compact - fixed some bugs in the build system(crashes when try to build new files without filenames; fixed compilation, linking and execution of LaTeX files; added possibility to open HTML/PHP files with a browser and the appropriate webserver URL; many more) - minor changes The build system is still important to test, but with this version it should be more stable than before. I think I can release Geany 0.6 this weekend, Friday or Saturday. Thanks for testing and using. the tarball is available at: http://www.uvena.de/geany-0.6preview2.tar.bz2 and http://geany.uvena.de/geany-0.6preview2.tar.bz2 (this is the slow Sourceforge server) regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.key Geany, a lightweight IDE using GTK2 - http://geany.uvena.de

[Geany] Geany 0.6 preview
by Enrico Tröger 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

Hi all, since I was busy as a bee today ;-), here is a preview version of Geany 0.6, some kind of release candidat. The keyboard shortcuts for compile, build and execute should work now. In Geany 0.7, many shortcuts will be definable. I recommend, that you install this version in a separate prefix, because nearly all filetype definition files(all files in data/filetypes.*) have changed and I'm not completely sure, whether further changes are needed. From now on, the build settings(compiler, linker, execution flags) are stored in this files. This is the reason, why Geany 0.6 has taken so much time. It was a lot of work to write this stuff, but now the whole build system is more flexible. You can use %f and %e wildcards(they are descibed in the filetypes.* files). I hope you test this new feature, because there could be some bugs (it is not yet well tested). Also new is, that all build related functions can handle non-UTF8 filenames(and paths), which might be interesting for users, who don't have a clean UTF8 system(like me ;-)). Another nice new feature: you can drag files from a file manager (tested Thunar and Konqueror) into Geany and they will be opened. And there are several minor changes, bugfixes and applied patches (thanks Nick), for details see the ChangeLog. Here it is: http://geany.uvena.de/geany-0.6preview.tar.bz2 I'm looking forward to your bug reports ;-). And please notice, that is not the official release, but a preview for those, who are interested in testing and finding bugs. In a few days, when I think the code is stable enough, I will release Geany 0.6. thanks and good night, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.key Geany, a lightweight IDE using GTK2 - http://geany.uvena.de

Hello, I try since two weeks to checkout the cvs files, but it aborted with "cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server" if I start: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/geany \ co -P geany It's the same if I try to export the cvs-files. Where is the problem? Ciao, Joo (Germany)

Hi, I have a question on the file types in geany, I am writing a program in ARM asm, and I have found a syntax highlight definition for VIM however, geany does a poor job under Assembler source file, i was wondering where I could find the definitions for these filetypes in geany so i can edit them on my own? Thanks, Ali

[Geany] hi, and status?
by Boštjan Špetič 10 Apr '06

10 Apr '06

hi first i'd like to say, that i really like geany. i never could get used to emacs, vi and similar text stuff, and since i use scripting languages i don't really need the full blown eclipse and such, and until geany i was very much dissatisfied with programmers editors in linux. the main thing i missed was symbols browser, which is found very rarely (i don't understand why)... so, i am curious about what's happening with 0.6? and for a feature requset - a directory tree browser tab in the sidebar would be very handy... ;) best regards, bostjan
