v5.0 [Jan 11, 2021]
Textastic 5.0 adds full support for macOS Big Sur with a refreshed user interface and an updated app icon. This release is a macOS Universal app, which can run natively on both Apple Silicon Macs and Intel-based Macs.
New:
• macOS Big Sur: fully updated for compatibility with the latest version of macOS.
• Universal app: runs natively on both Apple Silicon Macs and Intel-based Macs.
Fixed:
• Fixed "Open In…" performance problems on Macs with many CPU cores (e.g. Mac Pro).
• Improved declaration of supported file types so that it works better with other installed apps that can open the same kinds of files.
• Other minor fixes.
v3.2 [May 28, 2016]
- New: Print your files. You can select a separate font size and theme for printing. You can also choose if you want to print line numbers, footers, and headers.
- New: "Open Quickly" command: use it to find and open a file by typing characters that are in the name of the file or path. This command searches all folders that were added to the sidebar as well as Textastic's iCloud document folder. A sophisticated scoring algorithm orders the search results so you'll find the most likely match on the top of the list. Consecutive character matches, acronyms, and matching file extensions get a higher score.
- New: "Go to Line" command
- New: Added Markdown color rules to all built-in themes
- New: Themes are now grouped by whether they are light or dark
- New: Updated Swift syntax definition
- Fixed: Fixed tab bar drawing issues
- Fixed: The cursor could get stuck when using the arrow keys to navigate in text that contains Japanese characters
- Fixed: Expanded sidebar subfolders could collapse when a mounted drive created by Transmit was updated
- Fixed: an issue that would prevent the app from launching when the computer's network was configured with a link aggregate.
