However, development is still active: when I spoke to Jon today he advised me that not only does he expect an update to the beta in August, he has also started mapping out some frameworks for version 4 which will help guide future development.

Still plenty of time left.

It’s been almost 4 months since the last dev build.

Yes, and?

Dev build is out, with stable beta version to follow:

Dev Build 3063

Dev build 3063 is out now, with a few small improvements. There is now an equivalent to the OSX command line tool on windows: subl.exe. While the basic functionality was previously available via just passing sublime_text.exe command line arguments, because it was a windowed application rather than a console one, it wasn’t possible to print help (i.e., subl.exe --help), nor was it possible to wait for file editing to finish (subl.exe --wait). Both are supported now. Note that there is no equiva…

Discourse forums look really slick too (I don’t like Atom, but Atom has a beautiful web presence, and I think they use Discourse?).

Everything that’s missing here is “notify me of replies” - which is basically just an option.

Any chance of a student license in the future? I’ve moved over to scotland to study and just can’t afford to pay 52 euro for this software at this time.

Will 4 be released before 3?

Will 4 be released before 3?

Maybe even in this decade. jps has now pleased the fanboy crowd by another underwhelming release, so I guess another six months of silence will ensue.

It’s pretty lame.

Exactly my thoughts. There won’t be a chance as long as this is jps’s “spare time” project.

Kari - any chance for a regular monthly update?

I don’t care if it’s 6 months between releases - I just get the warm-n-fuzzies knowing work is being done.

It’s the lapses of communication which hurt.

In any case, looking forward to ST3! Thanks again for the great work Jon + Kari.

Here is your last 6 months of updates.

Month 1:

Thought about writing code, didn’t’ bother

Month 2:

Wrote one line of code for some useless feature, might continue someday.

Month 3:

Drank a lot of coffee, stayed up late, but didn’t get any code done, Maybe next month.

Month 4:

Wrote 3 more lines of code this month, I can’t remember what it was for.

Month 5:

Remembered what I wrote last month, decided to not finish it, wrote 5 lines of code for another useless feature.

Month 6:

Big day, shipping a release, Did 10 lines of code this month. Finished 2 unimportant features.
Celebrate!

WOW! You guys are brutal!

I can’t help but think that if you don’t like the product, don’t use it. But, geez, if all you can do is gripe instead of encourage, maybe you should just back away from your keyboard.

I’m just starting to get to know SublimeText. All I know thus far is that everyone universally loves it, except for the whiners complaining about the distance between updates and progress on a final release of v3.

Just take a deep breath, learn more about the tool, suggest improvements, and be patient. And REALLY hold you tongue if you haven’t even bothered to pay for it yet. I, for one, would find it extremely discouraging to put in any programming effort after reading some of these recent sarcastic, snide comments.

Dudes, grow up.

Dudes, grow up.

As a manager of mine once said as I moved into software management, “Remember, they’re children”.

Who are you accusing? People on this forum have written hundreds of packages for sublime text, and spent countless hours on it. The refusal of communication and fixing of the trivial bugs which hinder better packages being written, is the cause of the frustration.

The problem is I love the product and it is a disappointment it is going the way of Textmate.

[thecrumb]

And if you are “just starting to get to know SublimeText” you weren’t around during the ‘early days’ when there would be daily releases it seemed.

Ahh the good ole days

Well, now we know.

It went exactly as predicted. jps came in, was active for two days, and has not been seen since.

The promised august update, after the long hiatus, was about as exiting as watching transparent paint dry. None of the important bugs got fixed.

Given the amount of issues, I think new customers are free to feel swindled…
