Panic announced the 1.5 version of Coda yesterday, making a (kinda) huge leap from 1.1. The new version is full of good stuff for your favourite sexy powerhouse editor, including:
- Built-in version control. Yeah, you read that right. Commit, update and checkout to your heart’s content, all through Coda.
- Local multi-file search & replace. Amen.
- Custom books. Now you can add your own resources, complete with book cover image and all.
- Improved clips. You can now organize your clips in groups, as well as import and export them.
- You can now identify between local and remote copies of the same file at a glance, using the relevant icons.
- The almighty Sites are now sortable.
- A new action has been added, named “Reverse publish”, which allows you to download remote files to your local copy.
After hours I managed to set up version control with Coda, but mainly because I never sat down to do it properly, plus I had some permissions issues (as always).
The changes Coda 1.5 brings are all more than welcome, refreshing my idea of it quite a bit. Go Panic!
