leo.py 3.8 is now available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/leo/
leo.py requires Python 2.1 or above and tcl/tk 8.3 or above.
Major improvements have been made to Leo as the result of user requests.
The highlights of 3.8:
----------------------
- New @rawfile and @silentfile trees complement @file trees.
@rawfile and @silentfile trees create derived files without using
sections.
@rawfile files contain only those sentinels needed to automatically
untangle them.
@silentfile trees contain no sentinels at all.
- New @raw and @end_raw directives allow unformatted code within @file
trees.
- Much better support for CWEB. You may organize .w files using noweb!
- The @comment and @language directives may now apply simultaneously.
- Leo can now read, remember and write <?xml-stylesheet...?> lines,
under control of the new stylesheet option.
- The new output_newline option specifies the line endings used when writing
files.
- The new output_initial_comment option specifies the text to appear
in an @comment sentinel at the start of each derived file.
- New commands in the help menu make it much easier to change configuration
options.
- Dozens of minor improvements and bug fixes.
What is Leo?
