- EE v0.9.2
- Source Editor and Development Environment
- for the E Programming Language

- This release fixes several nasty bugs and oversights present in the
- original distribution found in the E v3.0 demo distribution. Also added
- are case-sensitive Intuition menu command hotkeys, correct handling of
- dead keys, keyboard hilighting made more CED-like, speeded up display
- updating and search-replace, added option to turn on/off smart indent,
- now working ARexx interface, repaired unlimited macros, and a few added
- functions.
-
- EE is a multi-tasking, multi-windowing, OS 2.0 compliant, folding
- source editor, designed with E, and E programmers in mind. It has
- robust features, equally mouse and keyboard driven, which allow for
- quick editing and traversal. Naturally, it has many features which
- enhance the development of E programs, like compiling and running from
- within the editor, EC error reporting, relocating the cursor at the
- erroneous line, keyword/phrase lookup and completion, and more.
