After another long delay, we are finally happy to announce a new release of Geany!
For a comprehensive list of changes please see: http://www.geany.org/Documentation/ReleaseNotes
Some highlights:
* Fix spawning programs on Windows (for real this time!, Dimitar Zhekov). * Use native Windows quoting rules for commands on Windows. * Fix and improve MacOS X support (Jiří Techet). * Show document-related dialogs embedded in the main window ("info bars") (Matthew Brush and Thomas Martitz). * Huge tag management performance improvement (auto-completion, calltips, etc.) (Jiří Techet). * Update Scintilla to 3.5.6. * GTK3 support, while not enabled by default, is now considered stable. * Add support for single-line regular expressions. * Add filetypes CoffeScript (Mark Dresselhaus), JSON, Zephir. * Significantly improved filtypes CSS, Erlang (Beng Tan), Go (Jiří Techet), JavaScript, Make, PowerShell, Txt2tags. * Update translations: be, ca, cs, de, el, es, fr, id, it, ja, nl, pl, pt_BR, pt, ru, sl, sr, sv, zh_CN.
We want to thank all developers, translators and everyone who contributed to this release with patches, feedback, bug reports and so on. Thank you!
As usual, all downloads can be found on http://www.geany.org/Download/Releases. But this time you'll also find a MacOS X DMG, thanks to Jiří Techet!
Additionally, to try and avoid another long delay before the next version, we decided to try and embrace a time-based 4 months release schedule. If we can stick to it, next release should come out around November 15.

Congratulations to everyone involved with Geany's development and ongoing support. Fantastic work! I love the idea of time-based releases, though I would have thought you would choose 6-monthly instead of 4-monthly sprints.
Thank you to Jiří Techet for the OSX build as it looks fantastic and works well. A colleague who uses OSX and Linux was recently frustrated with trying to find a suitable text editor for OSX, given his love for Geany. The advent of the OSX build solved his problem immediately.

Good to hear you find it useful! Let me know if you run into some OS X specific problems. There are a few GTK-related quirks which would require patching GTK and which I probably won't fix but things which are inside Geany itself should be fixable quite easily.
Cheers,
Jiri
