Atom 1.1 Is Out, With Lots of Graphic Improvements (blog.atom.io)

Posted by timothy on from the leave-some-ligature-marks dept.

yathosho writes with some good news for GitHub developers: GitHub's new Atom editor sees a first big update in version 1.1. Character measurement has been improved, fonts with ligatures and variable width fonts are now supported. The biggest new feature is probably live Markdown preview, matching the current theme. There's also a 1.2.0 beta available, for those who want to have a look into Atom's future.

  1. Can it debug? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    On "UNIX", I eventually became accustomed to using Xcode. Can Atom provide a similar experience for developing C++ on Linux?

    I don't contribute to OSS because I don't respect it. But I use it because it's free. Consequently, I could use Atom on Linux if it meets my needs since everything else is crap.
