Nvu 0.81

Nvu 0.81

By glazou on Wednesday 9 February 2005, 13:40 - Nvu - Permalink

I am releasing today a 0.81 to fix one major bug in Nvu 0.80 and a few minor problems. If you are running Nvu 0.80, please do upgrade to this 0.81.

In HTML4, the end tag of empty elements was not serialized. As a direct result, named anchors and empty script elements were horked, and documents with empty inline elements were completely messed up...
Help Contents menu entry is back.
On Linspire 4.5 and beta 5.0, launching the browser from the Browse button or Help menu entries was horked.
On beta Linspire 5.0, it was impossible to launch Nvu and Mozilla on same desktop.
On beta Linspire 5.0, the Site Manager was not appearing on first launch, and never appearing in some bad cases.
Dialogs' icon was showing the lizard on linux, it now shows Nvu's logo.

Sorry for the annoyance. Once again, it's highly recommended to clobber your profile before installing this new version.

By the way, is there an Nvu bugzilla for reporting bugs or are just the nvudev.com forums used?

3. On Wednesday 9 February 2005, 07:32 by txGreg: I don't see any problems w/the site in Firefox (1.0) or Mozilla (1.75). In Opera (7.51), everything looks OK, as long as the browser window is wide enough for all the text -- otherwise there are some flow problems in the main text area. (Didn't test with MSIE)
4. On Wednesday 9 February 2005, 07:35 by Josh: I've been running NvU since version .5. It's great and I get alot of use out of it. I've always just installed the next version and not had any problems. (How do I clobber my profile? I'm running in Windows.)

Thanks,

-Josh
5. On Wednesday 9 February 2005, 09:42 by Neil: I think by "clobber" the profile he means delete it so that the newer release of NVU will create a fresh one.

I did not do that when upgrading from 0.8 to 0.81, and so far have not experienced any problem. But if you encounter new problems, try a fresh profile to see if that fixes it.
6. On Wednesday 9 February 2005, 09:48 by Neil: Tip: if you do "clobber" the profile, save your old prefs.js file first. After the new profile and a new prefs.js file are created, close NVU and copy any lines beginning with this string:

user_pref("editor.publish

from the old to the new. That will save you from having to reconstruct your site manager entries (except passwords).

va-il falloir que j'abandonne mon vieux Mozilla 1.7.x avec son composer intégré qui m'a tant aidé ? et que ne je jurais que par lui.
vive le Nvu.

10. On Thursday 10 February 2005, 08:59 by jmnbpt: Hi,

1) How is installation of the stand-alone editor done? I.e., should we do a "make install" as it happens in other sources? (I'm using SuSE 8.2, so there's no "dedicated" RPM)
2) Is it SURE that the binaries go into a directory such as /usr/local/nvu ? I'm trying to avoid mixing the SuSE-specific binaries with the source-compiled stuff.
3) I suppose that NVU is able to cope with Firefox 1.0 (binary-installed, not source-installed).
11. On Thursday 10 February 2005, 09:52 by Randy: How come this update does not appear on nvu.com?
12. On Thursday 10 February 2005, 10:42 by Anonynous: Where are the md5sums???
13. On Thursday 10 February 2005, 10:45 by sjbe: Version 0.80 kept clobbering the end tag for javascript tags in my headers. Looked fine under firefox but IE couldn't view the page. IE would just show a blank white page. (why it was doing that, I have no idea - it frequently messes with the code even when I don't want it to)

Like Randy, I'm a little surprised this isn't on nvu.com. I'd like to see it there to give me warm fuzzies.
14. On Thursday 10 February 2005, 12:16 by Owen: It's still got the one-time error on first launch I've reported for the past 4 versions. . .
15. On Thursday 10 February 2005, 12:24 by Gandalf: We're glad to say that we made initial translation of NVU 0.8 pl-PL.
It can be reached here: beta.aviary.pl/nvu/
It's not official release since, but it's a first step

Daniel: since fedora nor linspire linux builds of 0.81 works for me, could you release linux build similar to 0.8 one?
16. On Thursday 10 February 2005, 13:16 by Randy: I have just sent an e-mail to the people at nvu.com to find out why this "new" version is not on their site. I will only update my copy once i see it there.
17. On Friday 11 February 2005, 05:17 by Ritchie: Bonjour Daniel,

Ca fait plusieurs fois que je contribue et teste NVU, et j'ai toujours le même problème rédhibitoire. NVU compresse les blancs successifs.

Pour répliquer le bug, simple, prendre VI et créer une page web simple, dans laquelle, à l'intérieur d'un TAG on mettra 2 blancs successifs.

Ensuite, après avoir validé l'option "Retain original source formatting", ouvrir le document créé via VI. Vous en perdrez les blancs successifs. De plus dans certains cas, il semble ajouter des lignes blanches !!!

1st Page 2000, d'evrsoft (www.evrsoft.com) ne compresse pas du tout les blancs et est aussi gratuit (bien que vieillissant) sur windows (mais pas dispo sur OS X, d'où mon intérêt pour NVU) !!! Désolé, mais si je veux relire ce que je tape, il faut bien que ce ne soit pas modifié !

Le problème existe sur Windows et sur Mac OS X.

Si vous voulez, je vous envoie une page web et vous verrez par vous-même.

De plus, je ne travaille qu'en mode source et passe en mode normal que pour contrôler les erreurs et que je n'ai rien oublié.

++

Richard
18. On Monday 21 February 2005, 02:51 by me: I couldn't find a bugzilla for NVu, so:

Version: 0.81
OS: Windows XP SP2 with updates to 21-2-2005

1. Open a .PHP file with some inline code.
2. Go to source view.
3. Make a change to the HTML inside a tag, say <head>
4. Press Ctrl+S

Result
1. View snaps back to Preview
2. Extra lines inserted inside that tag.

Expected result
1. View stays with source code
2. No extra lines should be inserted.

Hmm. Tried to format this a bit with newlines, but the were ignored. Sorry it looks a mess, but it's your fault
19. On Monday 21 February 2005, 02:53 by me: OK, it looks like preview lied to me
20. On Tuesday 22 February 2005, 09:41 by Ken Laninga: What do you mean by 'Sorry for the annoyance. Once again, it's highly recommended to clobber your profile before installing this new version. "

? Thanks.
