Leo 5.4-b1 released

Leo 5.4-b1 is now available on SourceForge. Leo is an IDE, a PIM and and an outliner.
The highlights of Leo 5.4
  • Added clone-find commands, a new way to use Leo.
  • The clone-find and tag-all-children commands unify clones and tags.
  • The new pyflakes and flake8 make it possible to check files from within Leo.
  • Added importers for freemind, mindjet, json and coffeescript files.
  • Rewrote the javascript importer. It can optionally generate section references.
  • Imported files can optionally contain section references.
  • The viewrendered plugin supports @pyplot nodes.
  • Improved the mod_http plugin.
  • @chapter trees need no longer be children of @chapters nodes.
  • All known bugs have been fixed.
Leo is:
  • A fully-featured IDE, with Emacs-like commands.
  • An outliner. Everything in Leo is an outline.
  • A Personal Information Manager.
  • A browser with a memory.
  • A powerful scripting environment.
  • A tool for studying other people's code.
  • Extensible via a simple plugin architecture.
  • A tool that plays well with IPython, vim and xemacs.
  • Written in 100% pure Python
  • Compatible with Python 2.6 and above or Python 3.0 and above.
  • A tool with an inspiring and active community.
Leo's unique features:
  • Always-present, persistent, outline structure.
  • Leo's underlying data is a Directed Acyclic Graph.
  • Clones create multiple views of an outline.
  • A simple, powerful, outline-oriented Python API.
  • Scripts and programs can be composed from outlines.
  • Importers convert flat text into outlines.
  • Scripts have full access to all of Leo's sources.
  • Commands that act on outline structure.
    Example: the rst3 command converts outlines to reStructuredText.
  • @test and @suite scripts create unit tests automatically.
  • @button scripts apply scripts to outline data.
  • Outline-oriented directives.
Simulating these features in vim, Emacs or Eclipse is possible, just as it is possible to simulate Python in assembly language...
