The Beta 2 release is out there on the Parallax site. The ReadMe lists some very attractive features:
Quote:
Fixed bug in on-line help routines that prevented the help from appearing after the first time it was accessed.
Modified tokenizer to support enhanced GET/PUT (just like enhanced READ/WRITE) plus ELSEIF and fixed a few bugs.
Replaced old edit controls with new edit controls (integrated explorer, syntax highlighting, etc).
Added enhanced Find/Replace features.
Added automatic file backup feature. Saves backup of file upon save.
Added Favorites.
Added routines to allow Module Directories and Favorites to be re-arrangeable.
Added Show Overwrite Caret to preferences.
Fixed download routine to bring an existing Debug Terminal to the front if a program was just donwloaded on that COM port and it contained a DEBUG or DEBUGIN command.
Added routines to check of other instances of editor (to allow for single instance only).
Added Syntax Highlighting Scheme options in preferences.
Fixed bug in StampLoader/GenerateObjectFile that prevented it from working in v2.0 Beta 1.

A couple of these things I think I will really appreciate:
- We can now PUT and GET words to/from scratchpad RAM.
- ELSEIF! No more messy nested IF/THEN/ELSEs
- And last, but certainly not least: Syntax highlighting! Yay!
