EmEditor v14.6.0 released!

Today, we are releasing EmEditor v14.6.0.
This new version adds important features with big data analysis and database file editing in mind.

Updates from v14.5.4 include:

New General Features

  • The new version allows you to define up to 8 separate value formats, and each format now allows up to 39 character long text. You can specify each format whether to allow delimiters in double
    quotes, whether to allow new lines in double quotes, and the number of lines in the column headings.
  • The CSV/Sort toolbar was added and CSV related features were greatly enhanced.
  • The CSV/Sort toolbar allows you to change the CSV mode, CSV conversion, Fixed Width Columns, various column/separator related commands, sort commands, the
    Delete Duplicate Lines command, Line
    Number
    , Ruler, and Heading commands.
  • Following commands can be executed against all documents in the current group by clicking the button while pressing the SHIFT key — Normal Mode, all CSV commands, all
    Convert to commands,
    Fixed Width Columns, all sort commands, Delete Duplicate Lines, Heading 0 – 4, Adjust Separator Positions, Automatically Add Separators, and
    Remove All Separators.
  • The Sort by Multiple Columns command was added.
  • The new Filter Bar was added. The Filter Bar allows you to view only the lines that include a specified string.
  • The Extract All button was added to the Find dialog box. Pressing the Extract All button extracts lines containing the searched string to a new document.
  • Double-clicking on the ruler now selects the column except the headings. Triple-clicking the ruler selects the entire column. After double/triple-clicking, moving the mouse right or left while
    pressing the mouse button selects multiple columns.
  • Double-clicking the ruler will not adjust columns anymore.
  • The Updater feature which was temporarily disabled on v14.5.4 was restored. The new Updater installs only digitally signed update packages signed with the same certificate as the Updater.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the bug where multiple selection positions after Replace All might have been wrong.
  • Fixed the bug where the Undo after a replace in the vertical selection might not have worked correctly.

EmEditor v14.6.0 beta 17 released!

Today, we are releasing EmEditor v14.6.0 beta 17.

Updates from v14.6.0 beta 16 include:

  • The Prefer UTF-8 check box was added to the File tab of configuration properties. When this is checked and the Detect UTF-8 check box is also checked, UTF-8 takes precedence if the file can be interpreted both as UTF-8 and the selected encoding. For example, a file contains only ANSI characters (alphabets and numbers), it can be opened without any problems both as UTF-8 and Western European. In this situation, EmEditor opens the file as UTF-8. EmEditor also opens an empty file as UTF-8 if this is checked.
  • Stability improvements.

We would like to find as many bugs as possible before we release the new version. Please try it out now and let us know if you find any bugs.

EmEditor v14.5.4 released!

In response to the hacking incident on the other day, we decided to disable the update checker until we can confirm the safety of our server and the Update Checker. We strongly recommend this update to all EmEditor users.

For safety of customers, we removed update configuration files in our server. Therefore the Update Checker on older versions of EmEditor will not be available anymore. If you try to check updates from older versions, you will see the prompt message: “Invalid or missing updates configuration file. …”. This is not a bug. Please download and update to the newest version of EmEditor by clicking here.

Updates from v14.5.3 include:

Features Removed

  • The Update Checker features were disabled. The Check for Updates and Customize Update Checker commands were removed or disabled.

32-bit version of installer updated

32-bit version of installer updated

Today, we are replacing the 32-bit version of installer. There was an issue with Custom Install in the 32-bit installer for v14.5.x. The issue was that even if you selected “Custom” and then disabled “Program Shortcuts and Association” features (or any sub features in this folder), these features were actually installed. The new installer fixed this issue. The new file name for the new installer is “emed32_14.5.3a.exe”. The new installer can be downloaded at the Download page.

There are no changes with the 64-bit version of installer nor the portable version, and there are no changes with the actual EmEditor program files. Most customers do not need to update with this fix. However, if you already installed v14.5.x (32-bit) and wish to reinstall EmEditor without “Program Shortcuts and Association” options during install, you could do so by uninstalling existing EmEditor first, and then reinstall EmEditor by using the new installer.

I apologize for any inconveniences you might have experienced.
