Textastic Code Editor

- Added file transfer settings: For uploads and downloads, you can now specify whether you are asked for confirmation before files are overwritten or whether existing files should always be overwritten.
- A warning message is now displayed when trying to add a new Google Drive connection and when connecting to existing Google Drive connections. See below for details.
- Removed Microsoft App Center crash reporting because App Center is scheduled for retirement on March 31, 2025.
- Removed duplicate "Share…" item in text selection menu.
- Other minor improvements

Due to Google’s changes to the Google Drive API, the built-in Google Drive client will be removed from Textastic in a future update.

More information about this change and recommended alternatives can be found at: https://blach.io/2024/03/28/removal-of-textastic-google-drive-client/

- Updated OpenSSL, libssh2, and libcurl to their latest versions. The new version of the libssh2 library included in this update supports a new strict KEX protocol extension which is a fix for the so-called "Terrapin attack".
- Improved animation and behavior when creating folders and when creating and unpacking .zip files.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when searching for emojis in file names.
- Other minor improvements and bug fixes

This update fixes a crash that could happen when working with files in Google Drive. It includes all new features of Textastic 10:

- Refreshed user interface and new icons in all parts of the app.
- Added a completely new Swift syntax definition with support for modern Swift including async/await.
- Swift classes, structs, enums, functions, properties etc. are now shown in the symbol list.
- Upload files to any remote connection using the new "More" -> "Upload To…" menu without leaving the editor.
- New horizontally scrollable tab bar. It's now easier to re-arrange tabs with drag & drop.
- Updated the icons in the symbol list. The letter in the icon now more accurately reflects the type of symbol.
- Uses menus in more parts of the app, for example when tapping the "More" button and when changing the sort order of file lists.

- Improved behavior of "Open…" and "Add External Folder…" commands. Textastic now doesn't enable multiple file selection in the document picker anymore. This change saves a tap when opening a file. It also fixes an issue on iOS 16 and 17 in which the document picker didn't remember the last used folder. You can still open multiple files at once by selecting the files in the Files app and using drag & drop to open them in Textastic.
- Improved external folder support.
- Improved regular expression replace syntax: Allow backslash in addition to a dollar sign to reference capture groups. For example, \1 and $1 in a replace string now both reference the first capture group. (To reference capture groups >= 10, you still need to use the dollar sign, e.g., $10. This behavior is the same as in Sublime Text.).
- Improved behavior of "Replace All".
- Added "Create ZIP File" to the file context menu.

Fixed text selection issues on iOS/iPadOS 17:
- The cursor was not visible when creating a new file on iOS 17.
- The edit menu was not shown after changing the selection using text selection handles on iOS 17.
- The cursor disappeared when entering marked text on iOS 17.

- Fixed issues when moving files in the iCloud location.
- Fixed performance issues when many files were stored in the iCloud location.
- Fixed issues with dictation on iOS 17.
- Fixed: When pasting text, Textastic now doesn't indent the last pasted line anymore. Changing the indentation could cause problems in languages like Python or YAML in which indentation is meaningful.
- Fixed an issue when previewing files from an external folder.
- Fixed symbol list issues for Python and CSS.
- Fixed a problem with the refresh indicator when listing remote files on iOS 17.
- Fixed issues with password lock and multiple windows on iPad.
- Fixed a performance issue in the C# syntax definition that could cause very slow parsing of C# files.

- Fixed: the insertion point was not displayed when tapping once on the editor in upcoming iOS versions
- Other minor fixes

- Improved support for Stage Manager and external displays.
- Improved keyboard handling on iPad:
* When an external keyboard is connected and the collapsed shortcuts bar is displayed in a corner of the screen, it is now ignored instead of moving the UI up.
* Fixed: When switching between code editor tabs, the on-screen keyboard moved down and back up. Now it stays on screen without animation.
* Fixed: Line numbers were sometimes not displayed when an external keyboard was connected.
- Other minor fixes

Fixed: When opening a file in Textastic after a restart of the device, it could happen that shortly afterwards the newly opened file was closed together with other open tabs.

- When deleting files and folders, the confirmation dialog now displays a list of files and folders to be deleted.
- It's now possible to rearrange code editor tabs using a mouse or trackpad. Previously this was only possible using a finger.
- Fixed: in the WebDAV connection configuration dialog, changes to the "Verify SSL Certificate" setting were not saved.

- Markdown preview now uses MultiMarkdown 6 instead of MultiMarkdown 4.
- Markdown preview now supports MultiMarkdown file transclusions: Use {{some_other_file.md}} in a Markdown file to include other Markdown files.
- The MultiMarkdown metadata keys "MMD Header:" and "MMD Footer:" are now also supported.
- The WebDAV server is now based on GCDWebDAVServer instead of lighttpd.
- Improved the declaration of supported file types so that it works better with other installed apps that can open the same kinds of files. (Reorganized and updated CFBundleDocumentTypes, UTExportedTypeDeclarations, and UTImportedTypeDeclarations in Info.plist)
- Textastic now accepts drag and drop of files with unknown file extensions from the Files app.
- Fixed an issue with escaped characters when using "Replace All" with regular expressions: the replacement text was unescaped twice, so you needed to enter \\\\ instead of \\ to get a single backslash. Now it behaves the same way as when invoking "Replace" on a single search result.

- You can now rename and remove external folders using the context menu.
- Added "Show in Files App" to the context menu of all files and folders, as well as the "Local Files" and "iCloud" locations and external folders.
- Updated OpenSSL, libssh2, and libcurl to support RSA public key authentication with servers running the latest versions of OpenSSH (see details below).
- Invisible characters: when "Show Spaces" is enabled, non-breaking spaces (Unicode U+00A0) are now drawn as "•" in addition to regular spaces (U+0020) which are drawn as "·".
- Increased maximum word wrap column from 1000 to 100000.
- Use the remote connection's title as the navigation bar title instead of the host name or a generic title when connecting to the remote server.

- Fixed: when invoking "Go to Line" or "Wrap With Emmet Abbreviation", the text field sometimes did not show the insertion point.
- Fixed typo in html code completion ("kbd" instead of "kdb" tag).


The libssh2 library included in this update adds support for RFC8332 (rsa-sha2-512 and rsa-sha2-256 public key algorithms) as well as encrypt-then-mac MAC modes (hmac-sha1-etm@openssh.com, hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com, hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com).

By default, OpenSSH 8.8 and later disables RSA signatures using the SHA-1 hash algorithm, so Textastic failed to connect to such servers since the previously used version of libssh2 only supported sha-rsa which used SHA-1.

Thanks a lot to Anders Borum for his help and contributions to libssh2!

Minor improvements

Updated the screenshots on the App Store.

Added five new code editor themes: Ocean (dark), Yesterday (light), Tomorrow (dark), GitHub Light, GitHub Dark

Fixed:
- When changing the port of an (S)FTP connection, the change wasn't saved if it wasn't confirmed by using the Return key or by switching to another text field before tapping Done.
- On a fresh install, invisible characters are no longer shown by default.

- When attempting to create a new file without specifying a file extension, you now have to confirm that the file should really be created.
- Fixed a problem when trying to preview a file without a file extension.
- Improved the behavior of the print dialog on iOS 15.
- Increased maximum levels of undo from 100 to 10000.
- Fixed problems with dictation in the code editor: The insertion point was not updated during dictation and auto-indentation interfered with dictation.
- Fixed: When "Invisible Characters" -> "Show Newlines" was enabled, there was a newline character drawn in the last line of a file, even when that line didn't end with a newline character.
- Updated the UI of "Create External File…", "File Transfer" -> "New Folder", and "New File" in the app's context menu on the home screen. All these dialogs now support Dynamic Type.
- Fixed a crash when attempting swipe to delete while file search was active.
- Fixed a problem that could cause all previously opened files to be closed when the user changes the system language and then immediately launches Textastic.
- Fixed the animation on iPhone when connecting to an SSH server.

Find in Files - You can now search for text or regular expressions in all files of a folder and its subfolders:

Tap the search field above a file listing and change the search mode from "Filename" to "Content". In the search settings, you can choose to search for text or a regular expression. You can also set whether the search should be case sensitive, diacritic sensitive, and whether to search for whole words only.

Start the search by pressing the Return key after entering the search term.

Searching multiple files works in Local Files, iCloud and external folders (such as other folders in iCloud Drive or Git repositories in Working Copy).

Other improvements:
- Added keyboard shortcuts for Find Next (Cmd-G), Find Previous (Cmd-Shift-G) and Find and Replace (Cmd-Option-F).
- Improved search settings UI.
- Search results in the code editor now have a more modern style.

Other minor fixes:
- On iPhone, the status bar background could disappear when coming back to Textastic from another app.
- The file transfer progress screen could be dismissed by dragging it down or tapping outside of it. Now, tapping the "Cancel" button is required.
- When an SSH terminal tab is active, the "recent files" and "terminal" buttons now stay on the left side and don't move to the right side anymore.

• Adding New Files, Folders, and Images Has Been Redesigned
- When creating files and folders using the "+" button below file lists, you can now see and change the location in which the new file or folder will be created. This is especially useful when you invoke this dialog using the Cmd-N keyboard shortcut and you don't remember the last folder you navigated to.
- There is a new "Import" tab that you can use to import files using the iOS document picker, and to import images using the new iOS image picker introduced in iOS 14.
- Tap and hold or right click the "+" button to show a menu that allows you to directly invoke "New File", "New Folder", "Import Files", or "Import Images".

• Improved Web Preview Server
- The web server for the web preview is now started when the app is launched instead of when the web preview is first shown.
- The web server for the web preview now uses port 8080 by default instead of a random port. This allows you to bookmark preview URLs in Safari when using "Preview in Safari". You can change the port or use a random port in Settings -> Web Preview.

• Remote Connections
- Rewritten UI of remote connection settings ((S)FTP, WebDAV, Google Drive, Dropbox) with better support for Dynamic Type and VoiceOver.
- Updated to the new Dropbox OAuth API that uses short lived access tokens and refresh tokens. The old Dropbox API will stop returning long-lived access tokens on September 30th, 2021. With this update, Textastic is ready for this change. Existing access tokens are not impacted.

• Other Improvements
- Rewritten file properties and search settings with better support for Dynamic Type and VoiceOver, and some other improvements.
- Rewritten UI of WebDAV server settings and moved it from the bottom toolbar below file listings to settings. The WebDAV server button is still shown below the list of locations (Local Files, iCloud, external folders…).
- You can now share the WebDAV server URL by tapping on it.


Fixed:
- In some rare cases, the first line of a file was displayed without syntax highlighting although the file was highlighted.
- Fixed a bug in the text layout cache that could lead to a seldom crash when editing text.
- Fixed a bug when creating a new file in iCloud using x-callback-url. There was an error message and the file was not created. Now, the file is properly created in iCloud.
- Fixed: changing the file extension when renaming a file (e.g. from .html to .md) did not update syntax highlighting

Fixed a problem with the web preview: the web view instance was not fully released after tapping the "Done" button, so JavaScript could continue to run even after closing the web preview.

- Optimized the app for the new iPhone screen sizes.
- Added support for the Shortcuts app with the two actions "Open File" and "Get File".
- You can now use the "Edit in Textastic" command in Working Copy's file context menu and the "textastic" terminal command in Secure ShellFish to easily open a file from these apps in Textastic without using the share sheet or document picker.
- Added new x-callback-url functionality that allows you to open files in external folders. You can find more information in the manual.
- Fixed: on iPhone, tapping on the editor to bring up the keyboard put the insertion point in the wrong line.
- Fixed: on iPhone, rotating the screen sometimes did not properly position the editor content.

- Updated network libraries (OpenSSL, libssh2, libcurl) to their latest versions.
- Fixed: The first tap on the editor did not place the insertion point at the tap location on iOS 14.
- Fixed: The Return key didn't work as expected under certain circumstances.

- Fixed: When pressing Up/Down on a hardware keyboard in a file with varying line heights (e.g. if the file contained Japanese text), the editor sometimes scrolled all the way to the top or bottom of the file.
- Fixed: If you searched in a transient tab and then opened another file in the same tab, the search results were not cleared.

Improved support for iOS 14:
- Custom fonts installed via configuration profiles can be selected again on iOS 14.
- Added support for the new "Local Network" permission in iOS 14 to allow connecting to (S)FTP, SSH, and WebDAV servers on the local network.
- Fixed: Sometimes when pressing Up/Down on a hardware keyboard the editor scrolled all the way to the top or bottom of the file.
- Fixed: Selecting text with Shift-Command-Left/Right did not work correctly.

• Commenting Code
- New keyboard shortcuts "Toggle Comment" (Cmd-/) and "Toggle Block Comment" (Cmd-Option-/).
- You can also select text and choose "Comment" or "Remove Comment" from the editing menu.

• Improved Text Editing
- New setting "Close Brackets and Quotes": Automatically inserts a matching closing character when typing an opening bracket or quote. This works for the following character pairs: "", '', (), [], {}.
- New setting "Indent Based on Syntax": Automatically indent code when typing, based on its syntax. For example, increases the indentation when pressing Return after an opening curly brace ("{") in C or an opening tag in HTML and decreases indentation after a closing curly brace ("}") or a closing tag.
- New "Line Height" setting that you can use to adjust the spacing between lines (defaults to 110%).
- New setting "Gutter" -> "Indicate Selection": The currently selected lines can be indicated in the gutter if line numbers are enabled.

• Dark Mode Improvements
- You can now select a separate code editor theme and keyboard appearance for Dark Mode.
- Markdown preview now uses a dark color scheme in Dark Mode.


Fixed:
- When a folder in iCloud was open and the file transfer screen was invoked, it didn't display the correct folder.
- The "New File" keyboard shortcut now also works if a settings screen is currently shown.
- Changed the default keyboard shortcut for Find to Cmd-F (instead Cmd-Option-F).
- Improved text input when entering complex scripts like Malayalam.
- Text selection: When double-tapping text, the editing menu did not come up.
- Arrow keys on third party keyboards did not update the selection.
- Fixed a problem with the scroll bars of the code editor.
- Fixed problems when selecting all lines in a file with thousands of lines.

New in Textastic 7: Opening multiple files in tabs, SSH terminal connections, new syntax highlighter, sorting and searching file listings, and much more.

Tabs: you can now open multiple files in tabs. When you open a file, it is opened in a transient tab, indicated by the italic title. To make the tab stay when you open another file, tap on the file title, the pin button at the right side of the tab, or on the editor. You can drag tabs to reorder them.

SSH terminal: you can now open SSH terminal connections in tabs. If you already have SFTP connections configured, they can be re-used for a terminal connection.

New syntax highlighter: Textastic 7 has a completely new syntax highlighter that can use Sublime Text 3 syntax definitions (in addition to language grammars from TextMate 1). This means much better support for modern features in almost all supported programming and markup languages.

Added syntax definitions for TypeScript, Rust, and reStructuredText. Updated syntax definitions for almost all other supported languages.

You can now sort file lists by name, extension, date, and size.

Fuzzy search for files: use it to find and open a file by typing characters that are in the name of the file or path. This searches the current folder and subfolders. A sophisticated scoring algorithm orders the search results, so you'll find the most likely match on the top of the list. Consecutive character matches, acronyms, and matching file extensions get a higher score. If you are looking for a file named “SettingsViewController.h”, try searching for the acronym “svc” or “svc.h” and it will most likely appear at the top of the list.

The document picker (“Open…” command) can now open any file with any file extension, not just text files with known file extensions. Textastic warns you if you try to open a binary file. You can also select more than one file to open them in tabs.

You can now drag & drop files from other apps like the Files app or Working Copy onto the editor to open them in tabs.

Added keyboard shortcuts to close popovers and dialogs: Cmd-., Cmd-W, and Escape

If you like Textastic, it would be amazing if you could leave a positive rating or review on the App Store!

- Fixed: when using the "Open…" command to invoke the document picker, some files could not be selected.
- Improved symbol list for Objective-C
- New syntax definition for PowerShell

It is now possible to open entire folders from the Git client Working Copy using the iOS document picker. Previously you could only open individual files.

• Make sure "Working Copy" is installed on your device.
• Tap on "Open…" in Textastic.
• Select "Working Copy".
• Navigate to an existing Git repository or clone/initialize a new one.
• Tap on "Pick" to open the repository.

The repository is now added as an external folder below the "Open…" command and can be used just as "Local Files" or "iCloud": You can edit existing files and add new ones. You can download and upload files. Web preview is fully supported. Changes you make will be immediately shown in Working Copy. You can then commit your changes in Working Copy. This works great in Split View mode on the iPad.

You can see this in action in the short video at http://bit.ly/txt-62

This feature is not strictly limited to Working Copy. Other apps can add support for this in the future.

Added new fonts: Anonymous Pro, CamingoCode, Fira Code, and Fira Mono. Fira Code is the same font as Fira Mono, but adds programming ligatures. See https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode for details.

New:
• Added Google Drive remote connections. To connect to Google Drive, tap on the file transfer button (globe icon) -> "+" -> "Google Drive Connection" -> Sign In.
• When opening files from Working Copy through the document picker ("Open…" command), Textastic can now show the external app name and file path in the list of recent files.
• Added Cmd-S external keyboard shortcut that allows you to trigger a file save. This is especially useful when you open an external file through the document picker and keep the two apps side-by-side using split view on iPad.

Fixed:
• Updated Dropbox SDK and fixed Dropbox login issues when the Dropbox app is not installed on the device.

• Sometimes the local directory in the file transfer screen would not stay in sync with the local directory selected in the main file navigator.
• Fixed keyboard issues when changing the UI theme.
• Remote Connections: Dropbox, WebDAV and Google Drive connections now use less server requests when deleting directory trees.
