What's new in WebMerge 2.5:
- The options for creating and naming Index pages have been completely revised to allow greater flexibility and control.
- Enhanced compatibility with Windows Vista and Mac OX 10.5 (Leopard).
- Optimized performance on Intel-based Macs.
- This is the first version of WebMerge available for the Linux operating system.
- Improved auto-discovery of source file formats: When loading a source file, WebMerge will examine the format of the file and attempt to set the delimiters in the Sources tab appropriately. For most common formats, this will automatically set them up correctly, but the user can still change them if needed.
- Improved generation of tables on index pages. In earlier versions it was possible to use certain combinations of tags and settings which would cause WebMerge to fail to generate the closing </table> tag for generated tables. At this time all known issues with table generation have been resolved.
- Added a new maxLen attribute for the WM-Field tag to truncate text from a specified field to a given length. Text is truncated on word boundaries to preserve readability, and any trunacted text is indicate with the addition of an ellipsis at the end if it. This option can be useful when you want to display a portion of things like long product descriptions.
- Generated files names now allow a greater range of characters. Earlier versions were too conservative in disallowing characters which cannot be used in valid files names on web servers. Version 2.5 now generates pages using the full range of allowable characters.
- A new len function has been added to the WM-If tag to allow comparisons on the length of data in a given field.
- Added a new Preferences window, available as the last item in the Edit menu.This window is now where you can change the hyphenation option, which lets you choose to have WebMerge replace invalid characters in file names with a hyphen (default) or underscore. This functionality was formerly in a tool named "Hyphenator" in the Tools menu.
- Added new option to Preferences to set the line endings for generated pages. By default, WebMerge will generate pages using the line endings native to the platform it's running on (CRLF for Windows, CR for OS X, and LF for Linux). This new Preference option lets you change this default behavior if you need to integrate your pages with other tools which may require specific line endings.
- Fixed bug in which saving a file with no source would generate a "Cannot find source file" next time the file was opened in WebMerge.
- Various minor bug fixes. All reproducible issues have been addressed for this release.
