VoodooPad 5.1 August 28th, 2012

New Stuff:
• Static, an advanced and powerful Markdown blogging tool with scriptlet support. Read all about it in the documentation.
• Syncable, per document, preset text styles: Create a rich text page named "VPDocumentTextStyles" in your document and place a new text style on each line of the page. They will then show up in the Text Styles palette, and sync across computers.
• Two way sync between VoodooPad for iOS and Desktop VoodooPad. VoodooPad will talk to its iOS sibling over the local Wifi and figure out which pages need to be copied over, and back. Basically, whoever was the last to edit a page wins. The iOS sync sheet has also been updated to show a little icon which will let you know if it's a one way sync (in the case of VP Reader, or a two way sync for VP iOS).
• You can now select a cover image when exporting to ePub, which will be used in iTunes as a little thumbnail for the book.
• When importing an image into a Markdown page (via drag+drop with the option key down), VoodooPad will insert the correct image tags to make it show up.
• New page event: textViewWillDisplay(document, page, textView). You can use this to customize a text view (like adding custom margins) before the text view shows up on screen

Changed Stuff:
• Mac App Store versions of VoodooPad are now sandboxed.
• Two finger swiping is now the default for going back and forth (and always using the natural direction for this)
• The location of your last web export is now stored as a document property instead as a per-machine preference.
• When opening a document without a page cahce, VP will now display a little dialog saying "hey, this might take a minute please hold on". It's rare to ever see this, but it can happen.
• Updated to MultiMarkdown version 3.6.
• The Index page is now moved to the very first page on PDF export if you choose "All Pages" instead of a collection.
• Renamed File ▸ Export ▸ "Export to iPhone or iPad…" to "Sync with iPhone or iPad…", since it's a sync now with VoodooPad for iOS.

Fixed Stuff:
• Fixed a bug where synced pages were sometimes not getting their content updated for the search index.
• Fixed a bug where putting $ in the web export template would sometimes mess up page macros.
• Fixed a bug where calling the plugin API setExtraObject:forKey: would sometimes fail to save.
• The escape key now works to close the services action window.
• Fixed a bug where pressing return at the start of a line with a checkbox on it would sometimes cause a crash.

• Fixed a bug where the wrong mime type was used on ePub export and embedded images in pages.
• Fixed a bug where you couldn't double click on VoodooPad documents in the Finder to open them, after running AppleScript against VoodooPad.

VoodooPad 4.3.6

• Added a news window for notification of future updates. This release is only for direct customers.

VoodooPad 4!
Released November 18th, 2008

Big New Features:

• New toolbar icons! In fact, a pretty updated look overall.
• New palette windows, modeled after Acorn's single palette which was a pretty big hit. However, unlike Acorn's palette you can have multiple instances of these unified palettes. In fact, using the new plugin api, you can create your own palettes in Objective-C or Python. Check out the sample "Flyblog" included in the plugin SDK download.
• Page syncing via WebDAV! This is a biggie. You can now sync the pages of a VoodooPad document between two computers using a WebDAV server such as MobileMe's. If you want to setup your own WebDAV server as well, that will also work. Since syncing can be a little complicated, we've got some instructions on the wiki for setting it up: http://flyingmeat.com/wikka/VoodooPadWebDAVSyncingSetup
• When syncing with a WebDAV server you can also have VoodooPad publish an up to date website for viewing on the iPhone or iPod Touch.
• "The Bucket", which is a floating window accessible from any application via a hotkey, to add text to a VoodooPad Page.
• "Print Document" under the file menu, which you can also use to make a PDF document containing all the pages in your document.
• You can now write plugins in Python, just like you could with Lua.
• More with the speedy. VoodooPad's wiki markup engine has gone through some major changes so it is faster and uses less memory.
• A new "Type" palette to replace the text styles palette. It's pretty handy, and the source is even included in the plugin examples for you programmer types.

Smaller New Features:

• New preference to keep the current line indentation when pressing return.
• Images now scale down when they are too big to fit in a page.
• New python plugin, "Select Next <# #> Placeholder", thanks to Michael McCracken! This is pretty handy when used with the NewPageTemplate ( http://flyingmeat.com/wikka/VoodooPadPageTemplate ).
• New pref to turn off colorization of links.
• New menu item "Gather Palettes" under the Window menu, to tidy up the palette windows.
• Now supports inline displaying of Acorn images. You can even double click on them to edit them (preserving layers) in Acorn.
• Embedded images are now editable in Acorn.
• New toolbar item to toggle wether links are shown or not.
• New pref to not resize the window when entering full screen.
• Python script plugins can now be put in the Plugins directory, as well as the Script Plugins directory.
• Dock menu to open up recent documents.
• In app bug reporting window.
• Holding down the option key when choosing using "Run Page as Script" inserts the output from the script into the current text area.
• iPhone web export template- optimized web export for your iPhone and iPod Touch.
• "Triggers" have been renamed to "Events", since that makes a bit more sense.
• You can now write Events (formerly "Triggers") in Python.
• Plugin API to add your pet scripting language to Events system.

Other minor things:

• Chg: Holding down the option key when choosing pages from the toolbar will open up the pages list in the drawer.

• Fix: Page backgrounds are now saved for encrypted pages.

• Fix: You can no longer open up files that are located in the trash.
• Fix: Fixed a bug where certain cjk characters would not link.
• Change: Removed the "default font" pref, now just using whatever is in the "new page text" preference. For plain text pages, the first font in the "new page text" preference is used.
• Fix: Fixed a bug with the automator web export action, where you could not set "rtfd to html" as a conversion format.
• Fix: Fixed a bug where links to aliases were not marked up correctly in webexport, when using markdown or textile.
