This isn't a dupe. The previous release was 3132, this is 3133. It fixes regressions and adds new features.

A fun thought, Apple could acquire Sublime to compete with Visual Studio Code. It's native the way Apple loves native. It's already the favorite tool of developers all over the world.

[dawnerd]

That'd just suck for everyone that uses it on windows / linux.

[filmgirlcw]

It's a fun thought, except it's not even "native" on Mac (it's C++ with some macOS/Cocoa bindings). I could never see Apple buying an app that wasn't built fully-native on their own platform, let alone a text editor.

If Apple cared about a text editor, it would have bought TextMate years ago before that community migrated to Sublime (and some members of then migrated to Atom).

[pvg]

It's native the way Apple loves native.

I don't think it is. It's a very un-OS-X app with its own completely alien-looking and ugly UI (and rendering and god knows what else). It's also not much of an IDE (unlike VS Code which has IDE goals and ambitions).

It's a decent, snappy, Python-extensible cross-platform editor. It's native mostly just in the 'runs native code' sense and likely of no interest to Apple at all.

[mwcremer]

Ahem. Xcode.

[laurentdc]

Do the latest builds support fonts with ligatures? [1]

One of the reasons I switched from Sublime to Atom was exactly that, but I'm willing to switch back since I've yet to find an editor as fast and lightweight as Sublime.

[baldfat]

I started using Atom and switched to VS Code and there was a very noticeable difference between the two. I just fired up Atom again and it still lags behind VS Code.

[zepolen]

How do ligatures work with characters per line indication, would 81 character line with a ligature make it 80 characters visibly?

[satysin]

Sadly no and from what I remember the dev said that due to how Sublime does text rendering it isn't easy to implement so won't happen anytime soon. A real shame as like you I love Fira Code. Works in Visual Studio, Qt Creator and IntelliJ IDEA perfectly.

[czechdeveloper]

I learned something today. I was not even aware of ligatures.

>Files can now be renamed when only the case has changed

Finally, yes. This has been an issue in sublime as long as I can remember and has confused me more than once.

[api]

I've recently started using Sublime again. There's a package called EasyClangComplete that does a surprisingly good job of auto-completing C/C++ code (yes it works!) and I like that Sublime uses less than 256mb of RAM most of the time.

Also unlike VSCode it doesn't phone home every 60 seconds. I stopped using VSCode when I noticed the ridiculous amount of telemetry.

[tqkxzugoaupvwqr]

You can turn off telemetry[1].

[soinus]

Hey, thanks for the kind words about EasyClangComplete! I am glad it works for you! Feel free to open issues if something behaves less than ideal for you :)

[blipmusic]

Even with telemetry turned off?

    "telemetry.enableTelemetry": false

[mmjaa]

Interesting exercise, look for 'regression' on this page:

https://www.sublimetext.com/3dev

.. indicator that indeed, editors are hard apps to develop, imho, (perhaps coz:automated testing?) ..

[mattdawson]

I'll consider myself lucky if I get to work on a project that only creates 49 regressions in 4+ years (which appears to be how far this changelog currently goes back).

[ryanar]

This is why there is so much time between official releases. This is like scrutinizing the chromium nightly build log for regressions. Sublime works hard to ensure their official releases dont have regressions

[Jare]

Interactive apps in general are not friendly to automated testing. Games and their elusive "feel" are the worst. :)

[stratigos]

I used Sublime (2, 3) for perhaps 5 years or more. I have a paid key. I switched to Atom about 6 months ago cuz diversity. Now I am hooked on my of Atom's side features, but the main show is not nearly as good as Sublime. Unfortunately I cant pry myself free from the social, package management, and theming tools from Atom, but still get a bit frustrated each day because Atom is not Sublime.

I just want to say, I miss you, Sublime. Can you just pls get all of the community oriented niceness that Atom has, so I can stop using Atom and come back to your elegance, pls?

[tsukaisute]

I wanted to use Atom for the reasons you stated, and gave it a decent chance for a few months. Cool product as far as features and community. However, went back to Sublime due to Atom's heavy CPU/battery usage and freezing while I'm typing (without plugins too).

[konart]

>package management

Sublime has greate package management, don't see a problem here. Package Manage is now part of the app, works great too.

Same for theming tools (Unless we are talking about something different than being able to theme the app\syntax and work with your list of themes.)

Not sure what "social" is though. Sublime has forum and packagecontrol.io \ github repos what else do you need?

[starsinspace]

As a Sublime user - what exactly is it that Atom has which Sublime doesn't? The Sublime add-on package community is quite active and there are many high-quality packages after all.

[ghshephard]

Well, Sublime has some community goodness - two of my favorite aspects of it, filter lines (https://github.com/davidpeckham/sublime-filterlines) and Diffing (http://www.sublimerge.com/) are both third-party.

[PopsiclePete]

Same thing here, except I did Sublime -> Atom -> VSCode.

Atom/VSCode are open-source and not written in C++, so they can evolve a lot quicker, with many more contributors than Sublime's one-man-army.

[throwaway-1209]

Can it print yet? I was surprised to discover there was no built in way to print out the text I was editing (on Linux). I do sometimes print out especially gnarly code to think about it on paper.

[TheAceOfHearts]

Personally, I'm happy to see the author focusing on core features. There's already plenty of amazing tools which allow you to print.

Since you're just dealing with text files, the easiest solutions would probably be to open the text file on a modern web browser. All modern browsers support printing as far as I'm aware.

If you want syntax highlighting, you can use a tool like highlight [0] or source-highlight [1] to generate an HTML page, which you then open and print with your browser.

[swah]

Not even something as basic as auto-complete from all buffers... soon we will all have moved to VSCode or Jetbrains IDEs.

[heartbreak]

If you need that feature, you can get it from this plugin: https://github.com/alienhard/SublimeAllAutocomplete

There are probably others, but that's the one I use.

[bdcravens]

I've moved to VS Code, but still keep Sublime on my machine (been licensed for a long time) to handle massive files (like CSVs that are several hundred MBs large - VS Code refuses to open, Sublime opens them in seconds)

[oatmealsnap]

Explain?
