Great News! :)

This is great for leoInteg as it will not be required to have a gitted version of Leo switched to the 'devel' branch in order to work properly! 

Thanks again! 

LeoInteg Update: almost done fixing 'cursor selections', going to fix/redo body-pane pretty soon.  :)

Glad this helps you.

Super. One of the projects I am considering for my sabbatical is doing a "Hello World" vs code plugin. Does this seem worthwhile to you?  Would you recommend anything else?

I was checking some of the Pip / PyPI related information available on GitHub - and - found issues, which (I believe) should be fixed before releasing 6.3 final.

From https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/blob/master/PKG-INFO.TXT :

* Platform: Windows, Linux, MaxOS <- Minor / typo - Should be MacOS ...

* Download-URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/leo/files/ <- Should IMO point to GitHub or PyPI. - SF has been last updated for Leo 5.8 ...

Sorry for reporting it like this - and NOT - providing a PR!

With kind regards,

Viktor

Many thanks for spotting these! Fixed in "6.3" and merged into devel.

The new download url is https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/releases

No problem. Fixing this without a PR was easier than using a PR.
