SE|PY 1.5
SE|PY seems to update almost on a weekly basis, adding new features that soon become indispensable. I've been extremely busy at work lately and forgot to click on the little "Find Updates" link in over a month, but yesterday I was sitting at home and decided to do a little check, and to my surprise Alessandro's released a major point release ... 1.5. Not only that, but he's already released two minor point releases since then ... he's now up to 1.5.1.3.
As I was looking through some of the additions made to SE|PY, one really turned my head ... he's added a "Regular Expression Toolkit". Another great tool ! Regular Expressions are a great resource for anyone working with strings, but they can quickly become confusing. With SE|PY's Regular Expression Toolkit, you can quickly start playing around with patterns and test them to make sure they are working. He's even added a library with prebuilt regular expressions for credit cards, dates, email addresses, etc ...
It's true that regular expressions aren't currently supported in AS2, but they are supported in AS3, so its great to see that Alessandro is already ramping SE|PY up for AS3.
Other additions made to SE|PY since 1.5's release:
- preferences dialog in the TODO panel to add your own custom items ... (BUG, NOTE, KLUDGE, TRICKY, etc)
- updated the layout of the left panel, seems to allow more room
- added XPATH query from selection
- tons of bug fixes
- updates for the MAC
- etc
All in all, this is another great release from an already great program ... Thanks Alessandro.
