Great, but as I compile geany from svn, it doesn't really affect me _that_ much....

On a side note: Isn't it a bit of a blatant understatement to have a release
number 0.15, as geany is one of the most feature complete, stable and
feature rich editor around?

I mean, nedit is version 5, so geany would at least have to be version 22.15....


Otherwise: Thanks again for this great piece of software.
Tim
