🚀 LeoJS Version 0.2.14-beta Released!

[Félix]

Introducing LeoJS Beta 0.2.14 🧙‍♂️

I am thrilled to announce the release of LeoJS Version 0.2.14-beta! With this new version, LeoJS is now a complete translation of the original Leo, with all edit commands now fully converted from Python to TypeScript.

Available via automatic update or on the VSCode Marketplace. Note: The open-vsx.org extension publisher for vscodium seems down. (See the openvsx issue #945)

  • Added a context menu to document pane nodes, including the 'revert'
  • Fixed the availability of the 'refresh-from-disk' command. command.
    
  • Improved keyboard shortcuts and updated the related README

  • 'write-zip-archive' command.
    
  • Updated find-def command behavior with 'prefer-nav-pane' config setting support.

(A new LeoInteg version with all the same bugfixes to the 'detached' body panes, and more, will be coming out with the soon-to-be-released Leo 6.8.0! In the meantime,  checkout the  "Intro to Leo" and the "LeoJS Features Demo" if you haven't already!)

I applaud your energy and tenacity, as always.  Thank you.

Many thanks for all the work you have done, and congratulations for this epic milestone! And thanks for the humorous pictures!

The beta installed without a hitch.

I see that the latest vs-code update supports Typescript 5.5 which ought to make your job easier, for example with inferred type predicates and regex checking. These improvements to vs-code and Typescript illustrate why LeoJS is the future of Leo. There is no way desktop Leo could keep up with the work of thousands of Microsoft engineers!

Again, congratulations on a job well done.

I know many leonistas are VSCodium users, 

So I'm happy to inform you that the folks at eclipse/openvsx have fixed their server issues, and that the new LeoJS 0.2.14 beta version is now available to install or update from https://open-vsx.org !

Have fun trying out the new LeoJS features AND the new VSCode features! (Did you know you can drag out a tab from the vscode window onto your desktop to have an independent floating editor for that specific document? It also works with LeoJS body panes and 'detached' body panes!)

Thanks a lot for this update.

I was deliberately waiting for the availability of LeoJS 0.2.14 on Open VSX Registry to check out the update behavior of VSCodium. - See [1] ...

I'm happy to report that this time the update worked flawlessly !

With kind regards,

Viktor

Just on a lark, I tried opening vs-code.dev.  LeoJS appears to work!!!  Zero-install Leo is here!

Indeed! :)

For the best experience with LeoJS in the browser: go to your favorite github repository, (switch the branch you want to work with) and press the 'dot' on your keyboard, as shown at the start of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_mKXSbVGdE

Hi Félix

    FYI I tried to make a small donation via PayPal, and it came back with a message "This organisation can't accept donations right now.". Not sure if 'This organisation' means PayPal, or boltex etc. Thought I'd let you know...

Regards, Jon N

[Félix]

OMG JON THANK YOU!! :D

PayPal never even sent me notifications to inform me that I needed to keep some info up-to-date with them! 

I just updated my personal info in my account settings and everything is now back to normal! 

Thanks again for notifying me of this!! 

Félix

[jkn]

Hi Félix

    I tried again and got further - the small donation my have gone through, but there was a PayPal ?warning?, "e.data is undefined"

Let me know if you get the donation or not, please.

Regards, Jon N

[jkn]

Hi Felix

    That PayPal donation doesn't seem to have gone through - perhaps you might want to check things again?

    Regards, Jon N

[Félix]

Thanks Jon for this info,  this is embarrassing! 

But, after making more verifications, I think I got it going ok now (The paypal administration console is terrible.) I finally found I had to finish validating something else with my account. and a few other settings to tune up ... 🙄  If it still doesn't work after that I'll contact their customer support.

Should work now... I guess.... eh,   Thanks for persisting in wanting to give me money! 

Félix

"We're sorry, we weren't able to complete your payment at this time. Please try again later."

(2nd try after a couple of hours also failed)

[Félix]

Thanks for trying again Jon! Perhaps the last changes took a little time to be applied.

I've just asked my brother over the phone to try it out:

Since there's two way to pay, (via a paypal account or with a credit card # only) he tried it both via his paypal account, and again, in incognito mode without a paypal account by using only a credit card number. It worked in both instances. 

I cannot thank you enough for persisting in trying to make that paypal button work!  Let me know if you try again & still have an error issue! Greatly appreciated!

Félix

[jkn]

Hi Felix - it still fails for me ;-(.

I will try again later this weekend.
