Announcement: Ride 1.2

[Per Nyfelt]

I am happy to announce version 1.2 or Ride, An integrated development environment for Renjin R.

There are quite a number of new features. 

It is available here: https://github.com/perNyfelt/ride/releases/tag/v1.2-final

Here are the release highlights:

### 1.2 Final

- Add maven build support

    - Run maven commands from within Ride (requires maven to be installed)

    - Add a maven classloader that uses the dependencies in the pom to build the classpath

    - Lookup button when working with a pom.xml

    - It is a package browser to easily find the latest version of an artifact

    - Opens a Browser to maven central or packages.renjin.org if the artifact lookup comes back empty

- Add git support

    - Most commonly used actions supported (add, commit, pull, push, status etc. etc.)

    - Make git integration optional (configurable)

- Wizards

    - Create package wizard to give a good starting point for creating packages

    - Create project wizard to give a good starting point for creating projects

    - add ability to create a basic pom.xml in "any" directory

- Additional file support

    - Add support for markdown 

    - Add support for java files

- Test and make adjustments so it also works in Java 11 (with bundled javafx)

- Bump dependency versions, notably rideutils which now 

provides additional gui interactive abilities (prompt, chooseFile, chooseDir etc. see https://github.com/perNyfelt/rideutils or the user manual for details)

- Startup scripts etc.

    - Add windows executable (experimental)

    - Removed the maven based execution to make things simpler

    - Removed ant based startup and just rely on scripts

    - Add support for env customizations (env.sh/env.cmd called from start scripts if it exists)

- Many small fixes e.g.

    - recognize global assignment operators (<<-, ->>)

    - Enhanced connection functionality (auto save, jdbc url wizard)

    - If the previous working dir has been removed we no longer move to parent as that might take forever to parse, instead we just do not initialize the file tree.

    - Add styling to dialogs

    - Preserve indentation on next line

    - Add target/classes and target/test.classes to classpath to classic classloader (adjustable in options)

    - Only insert right side of brackets if we are on the end of the line (feels more intuitive this way).

Best regards,

Per
