news 28 Posted February 2, 2016 About Builder ============= Builder is an IDE for writing GNOME-based software. It is currently under heavy development. News ==== It's been far too long since our last release, and things are heating up for GNOME 3.20. Builder has underone a major overhaul since 3.18 and still has a few major pieces still to land this cycle. • Perspectives have been implemented to allow for clearer groupings of application features and plugins. • Preferences has undergone substantial redesign. Preferences now use a custom perspective rather than a dialog window. - There is still an height-for-width bug to resolve in the layout of preference items. • A new "ide" command exposing various Builder features to command line users. • Global search has gotten some style cleanup. • Builders custom CSS was rewritten for recent gtk+ changes. • A build panel has been added. • A Todo plugin was added to track todo items. • Perspectives can handle URI opening, allowing for perspectives such as a "glade perspective" to handle opening .ui files. • Builder-1.0.gir was dropped, in favor of Ide-1.0.gir. • Embedded plugins and dependency solving now works. • Plugin APIs were simplified. • Multi-process separation support using IdeWorker. Plugins can now easily move work to a subprocess and communicate via D-Bus. Jedi has been ported to multi-process mode for Python auto-completion. • Lots of Vim-mode improvements. • Vala plugin improvements. • External plugins are now supported. • Plugins can be loaded and unloaded. • Loads of bug and build system fixes. • Project greeter and project creation have been rewritten for perspectives. • Plugins now have automatic resources for menus.ui and css themes. • Various keybinding improvements. • Control+click works for navigating to type definitions. • scrolloffset has much improved and gained support for negative values, which works in the opposite direction (top down). • Search movements have been simplified. And much, much more! Please help us shake out the bugs by running Builder and reporting bugs to bugzilla.gnome.org.
