ANN: leo.py 2.5

[Edward K. Ream]

leo.py 2.5 is now available at:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/leo/

The highlights of 2.5
---------------------

1. Leo supports tab widths properly, and negative tab widths cause Leo
to convert tabs to blanks as you type.  Three new commands appear in the
Edit Body menu: Convert Tabs, Convert All Tabs and Convert All Blanks. 
Convert All Tabs and Convert All Spaces convert the entire selected
tree.

2. Leo now allows you to override selected preferences using a
configuration file called leoConfig.txt. Leo acts as before if this file
does not exist.  An option in leoConfig.txt specifies whether
leoConfig.txt is read-only.

3. The Preferences panel is now a modal dialog containing Ok, Cancel and
Revert buttons.

4. At long last, cut and paste work properly in all situations.  You can
cut and paste between Leo and other applications, or between two
different copies of Leo.

5. Added the Recent Files submenu to the File menu.

6. Fixed a number of bugs, including several crashers.  Fixed several
bugs in the Import commands.  Leo will no longer abort reading if it
detects an invalid directory name in the Default Tangle Directory in the
Preferences panel.

What is Leo?
