TEA 11.0, 12 november 2005
http://tea.linux.kiev.ua

   Hi. After a relatively long delay with new TEA, here it is. Eleven dot zero. The ending of the summer was one of the worst times in my life, because my dog Bobik has died. So this release is dedicated to him.
   TEA and CHAI branches are merged into the one. You can decide what to build - the original GTK-only TEA or the GtkSourceView-based one. There is an option for the configure script. Use:
./configure --enable-tea
to configure the TEA source with CHAI features (the dynamic syntax highlighting, the right margin etc.). And run:
./configure 
to configure TEA in the "original" mode.
   What's new in TEA 11? The spell-checking interface was rewritten to become more usable. Some menus was renamed (see ChangeLog for details). At the Preferences window you can find the useful option "Detect a charset by the [X]HTML meta header". And another good option  "Restore the last session on start" came on the place of the "Start TEA with a recent file" option. Now TEA can open not only a single recent file, but multiply recent files - just turn this option on.
   Text-marking function are moved to "Edit - Marking" menu. Some new items are related to it. 
   Also you shall see a big close button near of the main menu. This button is intended to close a current document. To hide this button, disable the "Show the common close button" option at Preferences - Interface.
   And another option, Preferences - Paths - Add this extension to the file which is *Saving as*. It works if the saving file has no extension, but you want to add one automatically.
   As usual, the code was cleaned up. But after TEA and CHAI was merged, bugs are possible.   
   IMPORTANT NOTE: in TEA 11 (if you are a user of previous versions) you need to re-customize your character sets settings (Preferences - Encoding - Configure charsets).
   That's all. Stay tuned.
