SubEthaEdit 2.0
SubEthaEdit 2.0 is now out. It looks like there have been some improvements, as wel as a change in terms - there is now a commercial license, but most of the uses that I was using SubEthaEdit for were personal, plus my Mac belongs to a charity, so I'm covered.
One of the bigger changes is that the networking protocol has been improved -- it's based on BEEP and is supposed to be more efficient and extensible for the future. This sounds great but it means a few problems. The biggest one is that version 2.0 cannot talk to version 1.0. For notetaking at conferences, this is going to make things interesting. Will we now have a v2 document and a v1 document? I guess I'll have to keep copies of both versions around now. The port numbers have changed, so now I have to change the rules that punch holes in the firewall too.
Most of that is just inconvenience. The biggest problem is that a Linux or Windows version is nowhere in sight. Maybe some enterprising souls will take a protocol analyzer to the BEEP stream, and write a Linux/Windows version. Or maybe someone will write a Java or wxPython version. Someone? Anyone?

There were some preliminary discussions in the Vim list in early January but I haven't found followups yet.
<a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=vim&m=107465315727535&w=2">http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=vim&m=107465315727535&w=2</a>
From those discussions I guess emacs has been able to simliar things historically?
With enough work could Vim and emacsen edit together in peace?
PS If I comment on an old story (tla) would you notice my comment?
PPS heh, I was wondering if you are still working with tla? I used tla over the course of 9 months or so and have recently and very happily switched to Monotone www.venge.net/monotone

Adam,
Yes, I'll see it. And yes, I'm still working with tla. What do you see as the advantages of monotone?

Ted,
Well I posted a short email about the basics of the advantages to the monotone list-
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/monotone-devel/2004-05/msg00081.html
I picked a simple example that I find is evocative of -my- larger arch problems. I have to admit that after following the discussions on arch and using it myself on and off for months I was never comfortable with arch.
Monotone has a clear simple structure with few commands without redundant versions (arches I found to be riddled with morphing subtleties that affect which to choose).
Whether cause or effect, Graydon is a good writer(website, manual and email) and that is reflected in the usability of his code.
I looked at codeville very briefly but the lack of a mailing list/user community was the kiss of death for me.
Regardless of choice it is really great to see all the work being to take the step after cvs.
