Coda reaches 1.5, makes me go squee!
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!

Hooray!
Coda is great, but I really some things in there to work better/easier. I am going to downloaded it at once.

I tried Coda almost half a year ago. It was nice and all, but I seemed to have some problems with Greek characters while in code view. Was it just me or does Coda have problems with Greek? Would you really recommend it?

Sounds tempeting!!! I’m looking forward to see the built-in version control…

The code navigator and multi-file search & replace (and the unique version control integration on top of that) seem to make it -finally- take the edge over Dreamweaver & CSSEdit (I only miss the code formatting features).
Does anyone here use TextMate for editing web stuff? What’s your opinion?

@spdd
What kind of problems? I use Coda almost exclusively and I’ve never run into anything like that.
@gterez
I only use Textmate when I’m into my “programming” mode. The whole editor environment makes it so soothing to the eyes. Coda is for HTML / CSS / subtle PHP, in my humble opinion.

@Sugar hmm… if I remember well, when I tried to code and inserted greek characters (say for content) it wouldn’t display them in code view, only in preview… I tried different fonts and encodings and couldn’t make it work… But then again, I didn’t give it a second chance, maybe it could be something simple, but I was in the middle of panic so I couldn’t spend much time figuring out what was wrong…

I coded the design of CSS3.gr in Coda and I had no problem with greek at all. I urge you to retry it, you won’t be disappointed
Coda + Consolas font for code view = designer bliss.

Already did, it seems to be working fine! I probably was doing something stupid in the first place! Thanks a lot Sugar!!!
BTW, Consolas font is cool for coding! Thanks again!
