SE|PY seems to update almost on a weekly basis, adding new features that soon become indispensable. I’ve been extremely busy at work lately and forgot to click on the little “Find Updates” link in over a month, but yesterday I was sitting at home and decided to do a little check, and to my surprise Alessandro’s released a major point release … 1.5. Not only that, but he’s already released two minor point releases since then … he’s now up to 1.5.1.3.
As I was looking through some of the additions made to SE|PY, one really turned my head … he’s added a “Regular Expression Toolkit”. Another great tool ! Regular Expressions are a great resource for anyone working with strings, but they can quickly become confusing. With SE|PY’s Regular Expression Toolkit, you can quickly start playing around with patterns and test them to make sure they are working. He’s even added a library with prebuilt regular expressions for credit cards, dates, email addresses, etc …
It’s true that regular expressions aren’t currently supported in AS2, but they are supported in AS3, so its great to see that Alessandro is already ramping SE|PY up for AS3.
Other additions made to SE|PY since 1.5’s release:
– preferences dialog in the TODO panel to add your own custom items … (BUG, NOTE, KLUDGE, TRICKY, etc)
– updated the layout of the left panel, seems to allow more room
– added XPATH query from selection
– tons of bug fixes
– updates for the MAC
– etc
All in all, this is another great release from an already great program … Thanks Alessandro.
