Announcing UEStudio 10.10: Performance, perfection and polish unite!

More Information 

What do we mean by "performance"? UEStudio v10.10 includes some exciting new enhancements for blazing-fast startup speed and faster file load time.

What about "perfection"? We've rounded out some of the features you use every day, like code folding graphical guide lines, better brace highlighting, interactive replace in files, scroll wheel zooming, and others.

Finally, our "polish" includes improvements for Windows 7 compatibility, a faster function list, numerous macro/scripting enhancements, and a whole lot more...

Improved: Blazing-fast startup speed and faster file load time...

As demonstrated by v10.10's faster load time and startup time, performance is always our top priority.

We are committed to providing the most "bang for your buck" by giving you technologically relevant tools and features without sacrificing speed. So, we spent a lot of time working on the load time/startup routine to optimize performance.

The result? Greatly improved startup and file load time!

New: Code folding graphical guide lines

UEStudio v10.10 includes new folding-based graphical lines in the edit window itself, providing you a better visual indicator of where you are in your source code. You can easily toggle these guidelines via the Show Fold Lines option in the View menu.

New: Interactive Replace in Files

Worried about replacing too much when using Replace in Files? With the new interactive replace in files functionality, you don't have to worry anymore. Just click the new Start button to begin a step-by-step replace in files operation with confirmation prompts for each file or subdirectory.

New: Project-specific macros (autoload)

Version 10.10 provides more power to your projects with an optional project-specific macro setting under the Project menu. Load different macros for different projects - the project autoload macro setting will always override your default autoload macro setting.

New: Use Ctrl + Mouse scroll wheel to zoom (increase/decrease font size)

Need to adjust your font settings on the fly? Having trouble seeing a particular section of source code? No problem in v10.10 - hold down your Ctrl key and use your mouse scroll wheel to automatically increase or decrease your font size.

New: "var_dump" for debugging scripts

Have you been looking for an easier and faster way to debug your scripts? Version 10.10 has you covered with the new native var_dump method for scripting. Calling this method with a target variable as its parameter will dump the contents of the variable to the output window, making script debugging a snap!

New: XHTML/HTML 5 support in highlighting/tag list

In accordance with the highly-promising HTML5 specification, v10.10 includes full XHTML5/HTML5 support in both HTML syntax highlighting and the HTML tag list!

UEStudio v10.00 - Crafted for individuals that desire performance!

What's new...? All that matters! From faster file load time to line change indication; to better find/replace regular expression help; to expanded functionality in the XML Manager, a re-engineered function list, added HTTPS protocol for SVN, and much more... UEStudio v10.00 is dedicated to providing the most powerful user experience ever.

New: Re-engineered function list, with tree-style view and sub-groups

One of UEStudio's most widely-used and versatile features just got better. We expanded the function list in v10.00 to include "grouping" for multiple data types. Now, each group is shown in an expandable tree-style list with expandable/collapsible sub-groups.

Of course, the settings, names, definitions, and scope of each group can be tailored and tweaked in real time to show you the parsed data exactly as you want to see it. To access the function list's configuration (the new Modify Groups dialog), right-click in the function list window and select "Configuration".

The new Modify Groups dialog allows you to define an unlimited number of "groups", each with an unlimited number of regular expressions to match your groups, as well as any sub-groups which include their own regexes and scope definitions. Rename, modify, and reorder groups/sub-groups within this dialog.

New: Line Change Indicator

Have you ever found yourself wading through lines of source code thinking, "where did I make that last change?" Well, so have we... and with the new Line Change Indicator you can quickly see all saved and unsaved changes since the file was opened. Save time and improve efficiency with this simple yet highly useful new feature!

The Line Change Indicator is an optional feature that can be enabled in configuration. You can set the colors for saved changes and unsaved changes to match your existing color scheme

New: Hide/Show lines containing find string

Got a 10,000+ line log file that you need to filter? That's no problem with the new Hide Lines/Show Lines feature in the Find dialog! Specify your search string and hide/show lines with the click of a button - it's that easy! Combined with the new Delete hidden lines feature, this new functionality is guaranteed to save you time.

New: Add block comments to selected text

Do you ever get tired of manually typing your open/close block comments? We know you do... So, as of v10.00, you can simply select a block of code, click the comment button, and move on...

Enhanced: More noticeable read-only indication

Ever opened a file, tried to modify it, then realized it was read-only? In previous versions this was indicated with "R/O" in the status bar. UEStudio '10 expands this functionality to (optionally) color the background of the read-only file and the file tab now includes a "lock" icon.

New: Regular expression builder in Find/Replace dialogs

Unless you're a tried and tested guru, no matter which regular expression style you prefer, the regular expression syntax can be difficult to remember. Stop reaching for the help every time you need a regex and use the expression builder instead!

The regex builder is accessible in all Find/Replace dialogs (including Find in Files and Replace in Files) and provides a quick reference for each regex style's syntax.

Enhanced: Edit XML node text directly in XML Manager

The XML Manager provided you with a parsed hierarchical view of your XML data. UEStudio '10 extends the XML Manager by adding the ability to edit XML data directly in the tree-display. Click the text you wish to edit then click again to activate the edit control (similar to renaming a file or folder in Windows explorer) and type away...

New: HTTPS support for Subversion (SVN)

UEStudio '10 includes enriched version control handling with all new support for connecting to SVN via HTTPS!

New: Delete all hidden lines

You've filtered your log file and now you want to remove all of the data that's hidden... Now, you can do this in a snap using the new delete all hidden lines feature (Edit -> Delete). This feature is a handy complement to the new Hide Lines/Show Lines feature in the Find dialog.

New: Scripting additions, including the ability to include a script(s) in another script

You asked for it, you got it - include as many scripts as you want in other scripts! No more copy/paste of your commonly-used scripting functions. Now you can build a library of your favorite scripting functions and call them from other scripts using the following method:

But that's not the only addition to scripting in this release... We've also adding the following properties and methods to give you even more control and flexibility when writing your scripts:

• activeDocumentIdx property, to access active document's index
• useEncoding (boolean) useEncoding (int) UltraEdit.frinFiles object to specify whether to use encoding settings and set which code page to use (respectively) when doing Find/Replace in Files via scripting
• codePage property, for accessing and setting document's code page
• commentSelectionAdd() and commentSelectionRemove() methods, for new block comment ("Comment Selection") functionality
• delAllHiddenLines() method

UEStudio 09.30: Fine Tuning, Better File Handling, Better VCS Support, and more...

UEStudio 09.30 includes increased performance, dramatically improved file handling, and improvements/updates to CVS/Subversion. 09.30 also introduces a significant expansion of undo capabilities; and offers other minor user-requested enhancements - such as the "ignore" tabs in strings and comments.

New: Expanded undo support - no more undo limitations!

Not only have we expanded the undo limit, allowing you to undo segments dealing with more than 50 kb of data, we have also added undo support for the following functionality:

New: Base 64 encoding and decoding

Have you ever found yourself staring at a base64-encoded string wondering how to get the data in a format that's readable to you? UEStudio 09.30 includes the ability to encode and decode base64 (accessible in the Edit menu).

New: Lines containing string dialog uses edit font

The "Lines containing string" dialog now uses your edit window font - a welcome enhancement, as you can now browse through your list of lines with a monospace font in order to see indentation level.

Improved: Version control system support

UEStudio 09.30 improves upon existing version control support, including enhanced automatic importing of version control account information, better local file path handling, and a few other minor improvements to make your VCS operations in and out of UEStudio easier, faster, and smoother.

Improved: Faster file opening

UEStudio 09.30 includes many "under the hood" improvements for file handling; specifically, opening files from Windows explorer. Opening multiple UEStudio-associated files from explorer by highlighting them and pressing Enter is almost instantaneous, as is right-clicking a selection of files and selecting the UEStudio option. Further improvements have been made to greatly increase the speed of reloading files on startup.

UEStudio 09.20: All New XML Manager, Sort Improvements, Code Folding Guides, and Much More...

UEStudio v09.20 promises to be one of the most substantial point releases to date. We've added a completely new XML Manager which provides a parsed graphical tree-style view of any XML-based document opened in UEStudio. Got an XML error log file lacking new lines? No problem; open it up with 09.20's XML Manager and graphically browse the file to view, select, delete, copy/paste, and move nodes WITHOUT getting lost in a sea of never-ending XML data!

New: XML Manager provides parsed tree view of XML-based documents

Access a parsed tree-style view of your XML-based files - any XML based file. The XML Manager can handle any file that is highlighted as XML; once the file is loaded, open up the XML Manager window and scroll through the XML tree to view parent/child nodes and elements. The collapsible nodes give you the ability to inspect one or more branches at a time, allowing you to see only what you want to see. The XML Manager icons provide visual indicators of element types.

The right-click context menu in the XML Manager gives you the ability to select and delete elements, cut/copy/paste elements, and duplicate elements.

New: Code Folding enhancements including folding guide lines

Another addition to the v09.20 release, our new code folding guides provide you a visual indication of logical blocks of code, as well as a preview on how the code will fold. Guide lines begin at the open/close fold block and end with a "tail" at the matching close fold string.

We've also moved folding processing to a separate thread so you can open and navigate large files while folding is parsing in the background without any loss in performance.

New: Unlimited column markers, column marker "groups", more...

Forget about the old limit of 12 column markers. V09.20 does away with the hard-coded limit and introduces a completely new column marker interface including the ability to logically "group" and name column markers for your convenience. You can toggle column markers on or off via the new Show Column Markers command, or assign a custom hotkey to the new key mapping command ViewShowColumnMarkers. And of course your existing legacy column markers are preserved in their own group.

New: Sort now includes the ability to delete duplicates based on any or all keys

You requested it, we delivered it. The Sort option (in File -> Sort -> Advanced Sort Options) now provides the ability to remove duplicates based on any or all of your sort keys! Using the Remove Duplicates option "Where All Selected Keys Match", you can select only those keys that should be used to evaluate duplicates, while the actual sort itself will still respect all keys.

UEStudio v09.00 builds upon the highly acclaimed UltraEdit v14, but goes even further to bring you a must-see interface that offers stunning new functionality, as well as an array of powerful new features - such as an integrated PHP debugger, updated version control, and so much more...

UEStudio '09...Designed to transform the way you work!

GUI refresh; new toolbars, child windows, and more...See for yourself...

Besides a host of new features and enhancements, UEStudio's powerful new interface delivers an unsurpassed user experience for any text editing need. Moving your child windows has never been easier. We've provided more control to you - the user - for moving, docking, and hiding child windows. UEStudio '09 offers more flexibility in placement of your child windows with tabbed child windows and auto-hide controls.

Integrated PHP Debugging with Xdebug

UEStudio '09 introduces vastly improved PHP support by integrating PHP debugging through locally running Apache/PHP and Xdebug (a popular, free PHP debugger). Setup only takes a few minutes, and all you need to do to start debugging is add your PHP application to a new project and select the integrated Xdebug debugger.

CVS support: Auto-discovery of CVS files

Version control has never been easier in UEStudio. Gone are the days of manually setting up VCS-controlled files/folders in your project. From now on, UEStudio will automatically detect files/folders under VCS and prompt you to import the CVS/SVN record and information for the files so you can continue to save to and from the VCS server through your project.

Javascript Lint integration

Keep your Javascript code - and your UEStudio scripts - bulletproof and beautiful with Javascript Lint! Run the Javascript Lint tool in UEStudio from the Format menu; UEStudio will parse the active .js file and return any errors or warnings to the output window.

Quick Open Address Bar

Access your files easier and faster with the new quick open address bar. The component is based on Windows explorer, providing you with drop-down suggestions as you type.

Improved FTP support

One of your favorite features has just gotten better... We've included a variety of new enhancements and improvements to all FTP components! These include, but are not limited to:

• Full support for FTPS (Control only, Control and data, Implicit)
• Redesigned, more intuitive Open from FTP/Save as to FTP dialogs
• Ability to set a remote or local filter (provides filtering ability for SFTP)
• Improved proxy support
• Improved SSH/SSL certificate handling
• Ability to set local default directory for each FTP account
• Ability to provide a LIST command for each account
