UNA 1.1 Released - "Live" Syntax Checking for D

[John A. De Goes]

Hi,

Just a brief note to announce we've released UNA 1.1. For those who don't already know, UNA is a "multiplayer IDE", but has a standalone mode for all the hermits out there. :-)

The main change in UNA 1.1 is "Live Tools", which are run in the background when documents are changed or saved. A new tool output option detects errors and warnings in tool output, and highlights the errors and warnings directly in the source code. When combined, these two features bring real-time syntax checking to dozens of languages and hundreds of command-line tools, including any tool conforming to the GNU error/warning message formatting guidelines.

(D does not conform to such guidelines but we've supported it separately.)

A screen cast demonstrating these new features for the Java programming language may be found at http://www.vimeo.com/1653402, while a screenshot demonstrating the feature in the context of the D programming language may be found at the following URL:

Another major feature of UNA 1.1 is preconfigured tools for dozens of languages, including D, C, C++, Java, C#, Ruby, Python, PHP, JavaScript, Groovy, Scala, and many others. These tools showcase the power of the tools interface and can be customized by developers for greater flexibility.

The single-user edition of UNA 1.1 is completely free and may be downloaded from http://www.n-brain.net/updates.htm. The multi-user edition of UNA 1.1 is free for open source groups, while pricing for commercial use starts at $25 per user.

Regards,

John
