WebUpd8 Ubuntu PPAs Status

Atom 1.14.0 is available in the WebUpd8 Atom PPA. Changes:

• A fundamental data structure in the editor has been implemented in native code to reduce memory and yield better performance for large files. More improvements to come.
• Atom 1.14 makes available a 64-bit installation for Windows.
• Overhaul of the bundled C# grammar
• Upgrade find-and-replace to use new marker layer API for fast clearing of markers
• Option for avoiding overlay movements
• Reduce the impact of leaking Editor, Selection, & Cursor objects
• Improvements to the MRU tabs UX:
• An MRU-ordered list of the tabs to visit now appears during MRU traversal.
• There is an option in the tabs package settings to make ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab do MRU or simple left/right traversal.
• Fixed a bug in keyup handling such that the MRU order doesn’t appear to randomly change.

The Atom 32bit builds failed with Atom 1.11.x due to a bug. For this reason, the WebUpd8 Atom PPA provided the latest stable Atom 1.11.2 for 64bit, but an older Atom version for 32bit (1.10.2).

The bug hasn’t been fixed in Atom yet, but there’s a PR that fixes it, and I’ve used it to build the Atom PPA packages.

Note that the Atom package in the WebUpd8 PPA currently has a weird version: 1.11.2.64bit+1.11.2.32bit - that’s due to providing different 32bit and 64bit versions for the last release, like I mentioned above. This will return to a normal version with the next stable Atom release.

Atom 1.10.0 is available in the WebUpd8 Atom PPA. Changes:

• Atom Package Manager Upgrade. The new version of apm runs on Node 4.4.5 and npm 3.10.5. This has a number of benefits includin: packages that depend on native modules now install more reliably, and installing packages from behind proxy servers should work more easily now
  
• A few commonly used inputs and other controls got added. Open the Style Guide in Atom to see how you can use them in your package or further style in your theme.

The latest stable Atom 1.3.0 is available in the WebUpd8 Atom PPA, for both 32bit and 64bit.

Changes:

• The tree-view now sorts directory entries more naturally, in a locale-sensitive way.
• Lines can now be moved up and down with multiple cursors.
• Improved the performance of marker-dependent code paths such as spell-check and find and replace.
• Fixed copying and pasting in native input fields.
• By default, windows with no pane items are now closed via the core:close command. The previous behavior can be restored via the Close Empty Windows option in settings.
• Fixed an issue where characters were inserted when toggling the settings view on some keyboard layouts.
• Modules can now temporarily override Error.prepareStackTrace. There is also an Error.prototype.getRawStack() method if you just need access to the raw v8 trace structure.
• Fixed a problem that caused blurry fonts on monitors that have a slightly higher resolution than 96 DPI.

Atom 1.2.0 is available in the WebUpd8 Atom PPA. Changes:

• Soft-wrapping now works correctly with a larger variety of non-Latin characters, including CJK.
• Atom no longer attempts to save unmodified files when the “Save All” command is dispatched.
• Atom is now based on Electron 0.34.0.
• Test runners can now be customized on a per-package basis. See the documentation for more information.

Atom 1.0.19 is available in the WebUpd8 Atom PPA. Changes since the previous PPA version:

• Fixed an error that prevented the modified indicators on tabs from displaying, and prevented autosave from working properly.
  
• Fixed an issue where rebuilding native modules from the incompatible-packages view did not work unless Atom was started from the command-line.
  
• Fixed the accidental removal of the .originalEvent property on command events, which was breaking vim-mode.
  
• Improved the performance of detecting incompatible native modules upon upgrading to a new Electron version.
  
• Fixed an issue where file names with line numbers (e.g. file.text:50) were sometimes handled incorrectly.
  
• Text editors’ undo histories are now preserved when windows are reloaded.
  
• Atom now ships with Chrome 43 and io.js 2.3.1.

It took a while to update it because there was a bug that prevented Atom from building successfully and even though it was fixed, the fix is not in the latest version of the source code. Also, Atom now fails to build on Ubuntu 12.04 and unfortunately that means that Atom from the WebUpd8 Atom PPA now requires Ubuntu 14.04 and newer.
