DocPad Revision History

Version 6.1 (3/13/2008)
· Added the "Auto-Position" option to the Spell Checker window's context menu.  The window will only move itself adjacent to the misspelled word if this box is checked.  This box is unchecked by default, which alters the prior behavior.
· The help file now explains the "Register As View Source Editor" feature, including instructions on getting it to work under Vista.
· When DocPad tries to lock a locked file, it will now attempt to open the file without locking and report a warning.
· Fixed a possible hang when opening the Configuration Editor.
· The installer will now warn if it does not have admin rights.  It will also attempt to loosen the security settings on the installation directory (to prevent problems with Vista).


Version 6.0 (1/3/2008)
· Numerous user interface improvements.  Please press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F5 to reset System­G, then reload your preferred skin.
· Added the "Lock File" option to the Options menu.  If checked, other applications will not be able to open a file that is open in DocPad.
· Added the "Register As View Source Editor" tool to the File menu.  This will make DocPad the default 'View Source' application for Internet Explorer.
· Improved icons and icon rendering.
· Added the "Metal" skin.
· Backwards text searches now properly start over at the end.
· Word Wrap now properly supports tab characters.
· Fixed the minimize/taskbar button rearrangement bug.


Version 5.2 (6/20/2007)
· Numerous user interface/skin improvements.  The "Default" skin has been redesigned to match the appearance of Windows XP.
· All interface fonts are now anti-aliased by default.  The setting to control this is located at:  System-G Menu > Configuration Editor > Controls > Font > Anti-alias.
