Version 0.8.5 of Diakonos is now available. Install by gem install diakonos. I’m pleased to introduce several nice features in this version.
If your terminal supports 256 colours, Diakonos syntax highlighting can now employ 256 colours (instead of the usual 16). See diakonos-256-colour.conf which comes with the 0.8.5 package.
I have also added the ability to synchronize the Diakonos clipboard with the KDE clipboard (via DCOP and Klipper). If you are using KDE and have DCOP installed, activate this feature by using these lines which are commented out in the default configuration file.
Some of you may also have noticed that I’ve recently overhauled the Diakonos homepage. Have a look if you haven’t already!
The other changes are detailed in the actual changelog:
- Added 256 colour support.
- Added support for opening files with “filepath:linenumber” syntax.
- Added ability to put %_ in a code closer as the place to position the cursor.
- Code closers can now contain newlines.
- Now closer text is parsed-indented by default.
- Added integration with Klipper (KDE clipboard).
- Added support for regexp match placeholders (\1, \2, etc.) in findAndReplace.
- Added eol_behaviour setting.
- Various minor bug fixes.
- Changed to MIT licence.
