Ah, hadn't realized it, but that's actually the same problem (since the
service also use the external editor API).

over on NetNewsWire, Brent does both private and public beta releases.
The public one's go to version tracker etc. but the private ones are
only available to people on the mailing list, including a link. Not
sure how the autoupdate would adapt. I suppose you could have
preferences like Quicksilver...
What I probably could do was have a select few which gets the beta
before others, and they have maybe 8 hours to report problems. But most
likely that wouldn't really work, and so far the betas seems to mostly
work for the majority, and there's always the ability to downgrade (all
previous versions remain online).
If I add another stage, like nightly builds or private betas, I should
probably instead bump the current betas to minors. Maybe then ADC news
would also carry new releases as news...
The main reason I do betas as betas is because the features which debut
in these are unlikely to be complete.
I hope you can release a patch for this one since it severely limits
my ability to get things done.
Yes, when I get back to coding it's probably the first I'll look at.
But as Eric said, you can always downgrade. All previous versions
remain online.

Great, let me know if you want access to the repository. The current
ActionScript bundle has no maintainer (but is by Rob Bevan).
I've got the tab completion working fine but I'm used to pressing esc
then the key combination to invoke an auto complete and was hoping
that someone could tell me how to get this working.
That's not currently possible, other than recoding a macro that does
'tab' and bind that to the escape key.
If you've time then an explanation of Activation: Key Equivalent
This is a _single_ key (with optional modifiers).
and Activation: Input Pattern would also be useful as I can't find any
documentation.
Input pattern is not working yet. What it will be is a non-greedy
regular expression matched against the typed input. Mainly useful for
having macros executed on certain editing patterns. For example the XML
bundle has a snippet that expands to: <$1></$1>. Here one could match
expansion of this snippet, giving the tag a name, pressing return
inside the tag (w/o typing anything). The macro would then add indent
and move the end tag down an extra line.
This coupled with the upcoming scope system (which will be able to
limit the activation methods to specific language elements) will allow
for some pretty neat stuff ;)

I'll look into it -- it should use the standard key bindings, but
unfortunately the way I currently pull off the thing about moving the
selection in the inactive table view while the search string has focus,
doesn't play well with the normal event system :/

I thought it was pulling the name and that Finder was what would open

I took the title from Xcode. But I'll check if Launch Services could
give me the name of the application that will actually open the file.
That would be very nice.

Hi Allan,
Sorry, I've been meaning to pick this up again. I have a few snippets
and commands to add to the bundle. If you let me have access I'll do
this soon (and maybe coordinate with Simon).
Cheers,
Rob

Quick question though. Now I would like to use XeLateX as my

change the bundle command in PDF LateX to use XeLateX ($xelatex

Select Automation -> Run Command -> Edit Commands
Here you'll find LaTeX / PDF LaTeX which is the current command.
Duplicate it and make your changes. It's a lot of lines, but the
essense is the pdflatex which output is piped into perl, that makes the
errors HTML anchors.
Ask if there's anything.
P.S., It would also be nice to be able to use ConTeXt ($texexec)
It shouldn't be a problem to modify the command to use ConTeXt instead.

Ehm... how? Shouldn't the snippet then somehow specify where the
selection should go, and if so, would this be any different than what
you currently can do, other than the way you activate it?

Okay -- but I'd prefer not to spend any time on this before after 1.1.
And I'm btw changing my plans a little, so 1.1 will be in a few weeks,
and I'll just do 5-10 1.1.x releases instead of having 1.1 in beta for
half a year ;)
Hopefully no-one feels cheated that some of the stuff I've promised for
1.1 then will be 1.1.x instead.

Yes, in fact the teTeX package doesn't have the newest Web2C TeX
version at all no matter what distro you pick. The i-Installer one is a
mixture of teTeX (for the foundation) and a binary distro called
TeX-live for the programs (tex, pdftex, dvips etc.). teTeX is the most
popular package for *nix as far as I am aware, so it's rather odd that
it's behind like this. And too bad. But at least it can be worked
around on the mac.

Well, the best I can do is say that in half a year, I expect 90% of the
things reported since release should have been taken care of ;)
I know it's not of much help, but the more exact estimate I give, the
more chance there is that it won't be correct.
