[Daniel Miller]

I'm pleased to announce the first public release of EditXT

A programmer's text editor for Mac OS X

Written in Python with PyObjC.

- Sort lines tool.
- Licensed under GPLv3 (source code available at http://editxt.org/)
- Over 1500 unit tests (OK, not really a feature)
- More...?


Known issues:
================
- sometimes the close (X) buttons in the document pane stop displaying the dirty status of the documents. This is VERY ANNOYING, I wish I could find a way to reproduce this bug.
- changing the tab width when in tab-indent mode does not automatically update the width of tabs. Recommendation: use spaces not tabs for indentation.
- there may be others...
