Because last time i wrote of E was lucky time (one of the BEST releases!), i will write now about the new version released two days ago. So, what’s new? So, if i quote Alexander:

This update adds an extension to the snippet format, so that you can pipe the contents of individual tabstops through shell commands.

Here is a simple example that allows you to directly evaluate ruby code. Very handy for doing quick calculations without having to do a mental shift:

${1:ruby code|ruby -e "print eval STDIN.read"}

• Added an extension to the snippet format so that you can have the content of a tabstop piped through a shell command.
• Fixed some projectpane related bugs which had been the cause of a lot of crashes.

Ok, what this is mean? I have no freakin idea! But sounds great! Besides that, Alexander said he will post an entry on E blog with more explanation on this. And if he made this version stable as last time did, this is GREAT!

You can download last version HERE.

For those who don’t know, E-text is a Textmate clone for Windows (Textmate is Mac only) which is better than Textmate
