UI Changes

TODO - toolbar

API Changes

Code Hints - Code hint providers are now registered to a list of language IDs rather than a list of CodeMirror modes. For some languages (like HTML and CSS) these strings are the same; for others, you must update your code (e.g. for JavaScript, use "javascript" instead of "js").

Quick Open - The fileTypes member of Quick Open plugins (passed to QuickOpen.addQuickOpenPlugin()) is deprecated. Please migrate to languageIds instead. For some languages, the language id is the same as the file extension; for others, you must update the string.

New/Improved Extensibility APIs

Languages - File extensions can now contain a dot to support conventions like ".mustache.html" or ".coffee.md".

Known Issues

• #3207: If you use a Sprint 21 or earlier build after using this build at least once, a few preferences such as Recent Projects may get reset. (You can back up your cache folder if you're concerned about this).
• Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) by default will not allow Brackets to run since it's not digitally signed yet. To work around this, right click the Brackets app and choose Open. You only need to do that once -- afterward, launching Brackets the normal way will work also.
• #2272: Windows Vista may not allow the Brackets installer to run (you may not see any error message). To work around this, right-click the installer file, choose Properties, and click the Unblock button.
• Debug > Run Tests is disabled in the installer/DMG distributions of Brackets, because the unit test code is not included. To run unit tests, pull Brackets from GitHub instead.
