Release Notes

Aptana Studio 2

Aptana Studio 2.0 is the current production version of Aptana Studio. A lot of stuff changed as compared with Studio 1.5, but a lot of the changes are “under the hood”:

• Radically improved the remote<->local file transfer features. There is an all-new UI and infrastructure for specifying connections, connecting them with projects, and copying files in each direction. The system is easier to use, faster, and more reliable than the previous system.
• Merged the Project and File views into a single view based on Eclipse’s more modern common navigator framework, and integrate the file transfer mechanisms with that view.
• Firebug 1.4 and 1.5 Support.
• Improved our Find/Replace mechanism. We previously had a great deal of custom code for Find/Replace that conflicted with the mechanisms in Eclipse 3.5. Our new system works much like the old system, but relies on the Find/Replace system in Eclipse for most of its functionality. The only feature we’ve removed is the ability to do multiline search, but the same effect can be achieved using regular expressions.
• AJAX framework updates, including support for YUI 3.0. Additional framework updates will be coming out separately over time.
• Aptana PHP is no longer included in Aptana Studio 2.0, and only PDT will be supported going forward. Developers who wish to continue using Aptana PHP should continue using Studio 1.5.x.
  
• Note for users who upgrade in place from Studio 1.5: Studio 2.0 no longer includes a direct dependency on the XULRunner dependency, relying instead on the latest XULRunner provided by Zend. As part of the upgrade from 1.5, the Aptana version of XULRunner will be disabled, and your Firefox preview will no longer work. To make it work again you will need to install the new XULRunner plugin via the Plugin Manager.
