[ANN] Editra 0.6.76 Released

[Cody Precord]

Greetings,

Its been a little while since the last release so this one is packing
quite a few important bug fixes and enhancements. Most notably is the
reworked session manager and new command bar (ctrl+K) for managing
your editing sessions.

Also in this release the Windows binaries are now built with Python2.7
and wxPython 2.9, the OSX binaries will also likely move to Python2.7
and wxPython 2.9 in the next release. As of this release official
support for running Editra on top of Python 2.5 has been dropped in
favor of Python 2.6 and 2.7. See the changelog below for details about
other changes included in this release.

NEW: [features/improvements]

* +Allow scrolling of the buffer from within the search bar with
up/down keys.
* +Can now change lexer from status bar context menu.
* +Session management feature behavior has been changed in this

* +Support folding docstrings in Python source code.
* +Add Command Bar for managing editing sessions, default key
binding of Ctrl+K.
* +Add Delete All button to Bookmark manager Shelf window.
* +Add close all option to shelf tab right click menu.

* +New version of CodeBrowser (Python enhancements / wxPython 2.9
bug fixes)

LIBRARY:

* +Add FileTree class to eclib.
* +Add FactoryMixin mixin class to ebmlib to simplify implementing
factories for
classes.
* +Add new icon resource for Delete All (ID_DELETE_ALL).

whitespace when the
buffers show whitespace option is turned on.

* +Fix issue during shutdown when IPC server isn't running.
* +Fix loading custom key profiles that have duplicate entries.
* +Fix handling the toggling of Maximize/Restore editor for some

* +Fix issue with some obsolete plugins being shown in plugin

* +Fix some inconsistencies with doing incremental searches and
behavior when
the search direction is changed for a find next action.

extension manager
had mappings with upper or mixed case letter.

An issue with above, when I have this type of line in the code:

msg= _(u'Data folder does not exist, select the folder \
containing the database.')

Note the "\" at the end of line one, it causes an issue in the
CodeBrowser, see the line after "MySplashScreen" in the image, if I
remove the "\" and save then all is fine.

Hi,

No matter how much testing one does there is always some end case that
was missed...

Thanks,
