Padre 0.07 released

I am happy to announce that Padre 0.07 has been released.

What is Padre?

Padre stands for Perl Application Development and Refactoring Environment but in fact it is only a text editor with an oversized ego.

It is planned to be cross platform (Linux/Windows/OSX), open source Perl IDE written in Perl. While it is still in its early development phase it is already usable.
I have been using it for nearly all my work almost since I started to write it.

Features

Some of the features it already has:
  • syntax highlighting for several languages
  • autocompletions
  • execute your perl script from within the editor
  • list of existing subs
  • brace matching
  • split view on the same document

Installation

It is available as a CPAN package but some of its prereqs are a bit hard to install so installation instructions can be found here

Comments, suggestions and patches are welcome!
