ReSTedit v0.50 is now available for download.

ReSTedit is a GUI tool for editing and interactivly exploring texts in 
the ReStructuredText format (or ReST) as introduced by the Docutils 
project. Despite being quite simple, ReSTedit is very useful for 
quickly checking if Docutils renders some text as you would expect it. 
You only paste it into a ReSTedit window to see if it's ok or not, 
without writing any test code around it.

It adds three features of note:

- the underlying document is monitored via a kqueue.  Any change to the 
on-disk file will cause ReSTedit to re-render the document.

- it now uses RBSplitView such that the document can be switched 
between text only, rendered content only, or split display via a 
Toolbar control.

- the app is packaged via py2app such that the binary distribution is 
completely self-contained and significantly smaller than previous 
distributions.

General information on ReStructured Text and the underlying docutils 
rendering engine can be found here:

A self-contained binary of ReSTedit.app can be found on my .mac 
downloads page.   It does not require any additional components to be 
installed as pyobjc and docutils are both embedded in the .app wrapper.
