GeSHi 1.0.7 Released

17/06/2005
At long last, version 1.0.7 of GeSHi has been released. This is a major bugfix release over the previous versions, and upgrading is strongly recommended. In addition, four new languages have been added, including highlighting for diff output.

Unfortunately many of the bugs that existed before still exist now, as I have been concentrating on "fixable" bugs (I'm talking about the "html comments are closed by a >" bug). The release of 1.0.7 however marks a change to that. From now, minor changes will be numbered 1.0.7.X, and I am planning a 1.0.8 release in the future that will re-do completely the code parsing parts to make things more stable, faster and solve several problems with the current method.

Of course, I will not be concentrating as hard on this as on the 1.1.X parser, which is looking very stable at the moment. I'd also like to thank Brian Hay for his efforts in helping me out - he has been working on language support for Web3D languages such as VRML, and has pointed out many areas for improvement.

I released 1.0.7 today as it exists in CVS, because tomorrow morning I fly out to England for a 5 week holiday. While on holiday I will not reply to my e-mail nor do any work on GeSHi. However, I encourage you to submit bug reports, either by e-mailing me or by submitting them to the tracker at sourceforge (better). That way when I come back I can make a release that fixes those bugs and make 1.0.7.X more stable.

That's all for now. Enjoy the release!
