Sublime Text 3 Updated
- a2tech 12y agoThe article doesn't link directly to the list of changes which are as follows: Improved quote auto pairing logic Selected group is now stored in the session Fixed a crash triggered by Goto Anything cloning views Windows: Added command line helper, subl.exe OSX: Added 'New Window' entry to dock menu Posix: Using correct permissions for newly created files and folders
- crxgames 12y agoGlad to see the project is still alive :)

- kolev 12y agoIt's hardly still alive. These aren't even cosmetic changes, honestly!
- jbrooksuk 12y agoWhy does it need cosmetic changes? There are a few actual bugs to sort out first.
- kolev 12y agoAgreed, my point was that it's a dead project as new updates don't even have cosmetic changes. I bought a license, I really like it, but just like Intype and E on Windows and Kod and TextMate on Mac, the fate of Sublime Text is pretty clear.
- ggreer 12y agoPlease note that this is a dev build of Sublime Text 3. You can only get it by manually downloading or checking for updates using a dev build. The most recent stable build of ST3 is from December of 2013.[1] Dev builds are alpha-quality and generally unsuitable for everyday use. The current build will change permissions on any file you save.[2] 1. http://www.sublimetext.com/3 http://www.sublimetext.com/3 2. http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16696&sid=17192023051cb99eb52ebf3f9e3c6824#p62854 http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16696&s...
- eknkc 12y agoHe says he'll fix it in the next build.. Which I assume, will be released in 6 to 36 months. Yay!
- kolev 12y agoPatience is a great virtue!
- bnt 12y agoWhile we understand sarcasm, we should give credit to Jon. Developing a great editor such as ST is a task big teams would have a hard time pulling off, let alone a single developer who is, BTW, running all aspects of the company. So, sit back and shut up, ST2 works great, ST3 works great. You don't need an update every day just for the sake of being updated.
- tuananh 12y agohmm weird, i cannot reproduce the bug on os x. (3dev channel) touch hello.txt; chmod 777 hello.txt; subl hello.txt; add something and save ; 777 still.
- bproctor 12y agoIt's kind of sad that this project has become so dead that an update to a dev build is news worthy.
- Karunamon 12y agoNot sure I subscribe to the idea that ST is "dead". The base editor is stable enough for day to day use ("dev" build be damned) and all the extra functionality (i.e. new features) is provided by plugins anyways. ST could never see another update and would remain a competitive editor for daily use due to its plugin ecosystem.
- eli 12y agountil something else comes along, as with Textmate
- tuananh 12y agodev build is that bad ?
- levesque 12y agoI wouldn't consider ST3 to be stable or usable under Linux since it just wrecks file permissions.
- cwyers 12y agoNeither do the Sublime Text developers; even the main release of Sublime Text 3 is listed as beta, and the download link on the front page of their website is still Sublime Text 2.
- tuananh 12y agohardly a noteworthy update.
- polyvisual 12y agoI've almost given up with Sublime Text. I have a bug with the Linux version on xubuntu which causes the application window to shudder when I scroll. It's something to do with smooth scrolling. I can't register at their forums as it requires a keyword which you can only get by emailing keyword@sublimetext.com - I've tried three times and each time I've been ignored. I've also tried email the other ST employee, but been ignored also. Very frustrating when I've paid for a licence.
- bithush 12y agoxyzzy3 edit: before anyone gives me shit for doing this it isn't exactly a big secret, it is a pretty poor way of 'securing' the forum. Just stick a captcha on it for gods sake.
- polyvisual 12y agoThanks. I agree - it's the shittest, most user-unfriendly method of securing something against spam I've ever encountered.
- demetris 12y agoThere is a setting that can help with the scrolling: "scroll_speed": 0 I have it in my user preferences (on Debian Sid) and it works well for me.
- jbrooksuk 12y agoUnfortunately there is a rise in spammers recently. Have you emailed sales@sublimetext.com?
- wickchuck 12y agoAnyone have a clue as to what were supposed to be able to do with this "Windows: Added command line helper, subl.exe". I'm guessing it's mainly for a shorter exe name to add to your path when launching sublime from the command line, but maybe I'm missing something?
- dedward 12y agoIt's just to launch the editor from the command-line. IT's nothing new - sublime text 2 (at least on OS X) had the "subl" command so you could launch an edit session from the cli.. I assumed the rest had the same. It's certainly not a new feature or anything to celebrate.
- Tyr42 12y agoThe reason it exists is for things like git, so they can launch the editor aimed at a commit message, then block until the editor closes and then continue. It's also useful if you want to open the editor aimed at a file in the current directory without re-navigating there in the gui.
- gcassie 12y agoIf it works like the OSX subl command, it integrates with git nicely so it can pause git commands to allow you edit commit messages in sublime and resume the command once you save. If you try to do this with standard exe in windows, the git command will run start to finish and you will not be able to edit the commit messages in sublime.
- ceronman 12y agoI love this editor and it makes me sad to see how the project is stalled. In 2002 the investors behind Blender launched the "Free Blender" campaign. They asked for 100,000 EUR as a one-time fee for open sourcing it. At the time the project was dying as a proprietary product. The investors got the money and today Blender is a healthy open source project. I would love to see something similar with Sublime Text. The author seems uninterested in continuing with its development while many users want to see it moving forward. I believe it can raise much more money than Blender at the time.
- psychometry 12y agoA lot of ST users are former Textmate users, too. So we've certainly been through this rigamarole before.
- teilo 12y agoTextmate 2 did exactly what Blender did. Went open source, has a healthy developer community, and has had steady updates for a couple of years. They still call it "Alpha" but it is very stable and I use it every day.
- tosh 12y agoWow, I somehow missed (or forgot?) that TextMate 2 got open sourced. Here is the Github repo: https://github.com/textmate/textmate https://github.com/textmate/textmate
- psychometry 12y agoTrue, but before Textmate was open-sourced, there was a long period of frustration due to lack of progress and communication from the developer.
- coldtea 12y agoYes, but Textmate 2, after all this time, has less options and is slower than ST2, much less ST3.

- hit8run 12y agoSublimetext 3 beta is really stable and fast as hell. I don't know what black magic they use under osx but it is even smoother than http://chocolatapp.com http://chocolatapp.com which is a native cocoa based editor with nice builtin code completions for many languages.
- steveeq1 12y agoI read up on this editor a little bit, but the thing that gets me is: what's wrong with emacs? I don't see anything this editor does that emacs can't do.
- coldtea 12y agoIt's not what it can't do or how many things more Emacs can do, it's how each goes about them. Not being tied into a BS-pseudo-Lisp runtime is an essential for me. And not having been designed with 1990 display technology in mind too.
- steveeq1 12y agoI still don't get it. What's wrong with using a lisp as the underlying architecture? This should be an advantage.
- lucian1900 12y agoOne of the problems is that it's a terrible Lisp and runtime. If it was at least a Scheme, there would be less complaining. Also, Lisps aren't popular, as you surely know. The display technology assumes a text terminal, just like vim. There are many things you can't do with that which are easy with a proper GUI.
- lispm 12y agoActually the Lisp runtime of GNU Emacs is not terrible. It's just that there are a few better in the Lisp world. Some of the things in Emacs Lisp are there by design. > The display technology assumes a text terminal, GNU Emacs and Xemacs have a lot of support for non-text-terminal displays.
- coldtea 12y agoNot for me. 1) I don't consider Lisp great for text work. 2) I don't consider Emacs Lisp a great Lisp either. 3) Even more fundamentaly, I don't think the kind of hooks Emacs offers for extensibility, with the modes etc, are to my liking, especially in how the interoporate with the visual representation. 4) And I'd rather, personally, use Python for my plugins.
- coldtea 12y agoPeople talk about the "bus factor", and how OSS would have been a better option. But far more often I've been beaten from the: 1) "Yeah, core devs moved on now, and nobody cares to maintain this OSS software". 2) "Yeah, core devs decided to rewrite everything from scratch and change APIs and ABIs".
- krondor 12y agoBecause that doesn't happen outside of the OSS world?
- coldtea 12y agoDon't know, haven't seen it as often. Money and existing customers depending on you and you depending on them provides a good motive to not do (1) and to avoid (2). Also a lot of no-OSS software, especially of the desktop variety, is unpolished and un-finished, usually a moving target, so (1 -- the owners moving on and nobody picking it up) is more damaging for its user compared to some proprietary software being abandoned which he can still use for ages as is. For example Microsoft is legendary for avoiding (2) at almost all costs, to the point were 20 year old Windows 98 programs still run as is on a modern OS. Heck, people still use VB6 which was superceded like 13 years ago... If you pick a software with a good following, chances are they will continue to support it.
- tokenizerrr 12y agoSad to see there is still no word on an ARM build.
- tuananh 12y agoAt this rate, it's best you forget it and revisit the idea in the next few years.
- jrochkind1 12y agoI don't really understand why these new releases are called 'dev' builds, and there isn't an official non-dev ST3 build yet. Are most people using ST3 anyway, despite the releases being labelled dev builds? Are they in fact pretty stable? Are most widely used plugins updated for ST3 (and maybe no longer supported for ST2?) Should I just go ahead and switch ST3 "dev"? All multiple years of 'dev' releases gets you is confusion, if this is what most people are using and most plugin developers are targetting, i wish the developer would just call it a release.
- Maken 12y agoThere are actually non-dev builds of ST3, and those are somewhat stable and what most people use. Dev builds: http://www.sublimetext.com/3dev http://www.sublimetext.com/3dev 'Stable' builds http://www.sublimetext.com/3 http://www.sublimetext.com/3
- anoxic 12y agoI've been using ST3 for some time off and on, and never had any issue. I just download it from http://www.sublimetext.com/3 http://www.sublimetext.com/3
- Walkman 12y agoWow, another update (3064)!
