The Aptana team is currently in the process of testing and fixing bugs for the upcoming Milestone 10 release. Look for a “nightly” version of this Milestone to be available soon.

New Release

Last week, many users reported an issue where Korean characters were showing up in their translated versions of Aptana. We were able to quickly identify and fix this issue. For affected users, we promoted Build 17048 to “nightly” and then “next” status earlier this week. Build 17048 contains a fix for this issue. If you were affected by this bug, please update your version of Aptana to “next” or “nightly”.

Tips and Tricks

With the current Aptana installer for Windows, we know that many users initially set Aptana as their “view source” application for Internet Explorer and later decide that they would like to change this back to Notepad or another application.

When we release Milestone 10, you’ll be able to easily set a preference to set your “View Source” application for IE. You can get a sneak preview of this preference in the online help.

Until Milestone 10 rolls out, however, you can modify a Windows key to reset View Source. We have directions on the Help wiki for how to do this.

Community Buzz

Many of the recent feature requests that we’ve been receiving have been related to code formatting and allowing our users to have more control over how their code is formatted. We have good news in that Milestone 10 will include a re-write of the Aptana code formatter, and that you’ll have much more flexibility in how your code (including JavaScript) is formatted.

Next Week

Next week, we’ll continue to fine-tune Milestone 10 to get it ready for release. In addition to the aforementioned View Source and code formatting features, Milestone 10 also includes updates to our FTP functionality, including the ability to create new files on remote sites.
