WinEdt 6 release date

Hi all.  Does anyone know when the final release date of WinEdt 6 will be?  I 
heard it is the end of this year.  However, we are already in December 2009.

I am working on it: It will be released in the beginning of
March.

Test versions might be available before that (as early as mid
January) but they may not be completely documented and some
changes to default settings might be done for the official
release depending on feedback...

Significant changes have been made to WinEdt's interfaces. In
particular, the way it is configured and customized has been
completely changed. Preferences, Settings, Appearance, Menu
Setup, and Highlighting Dialogs have been dropped (eliminated)
in favor of a new (consistent) Options Interface. Programming
work on WinEdt 6 is pretty much finished but lots of stuff has
to be documented or else I will be swamped with questions and
support requests...

Not many users know this but I had a pretty solid version of
WinEdt 6 ready more than a year ago. However, a dilemma arose
whether to release it as the first step towards the new setup
or to bite a bullet and replace the above dialogs with more
manageable interface. This took a lot of work and involved many
decisions on how to reorganize all the options. Once a decision
was made I was able to get rid of tens of thousands of lines of
legacy code (compatibility when it comes to loading the
settings from previous versions). I was also able to fix some

Re: WinEdt 6 release date

Bravo!  Just for that simplification alone, I'm willing to pay a 
(reasonable) new license fee.  Even as a long-time WinEdt user, if it's 
been a while since I had to change some aspect of the configuration, I 
never know whether to go to Preferences, Settings, Appearance, Menu 
Setup, etc. -- the the point that I dread having to fritter away time to 
find where I need to change what needs to be changed.

One caveat to what I said:  If Y&Y TeX is not supported in WinEdt 6, 
then the program will have very limited value to me.  (Unless and until 
somebody creates a viewer engine for Windows as fast as dviwindo, I'm 
wedded to Y&Y TeX for most of my work.)

I'll add to Murray's praise and support - I'd have no problem in paying for
an upgrade and giving a hand with testing, documentation etc.

Cheers,  Phil

Well I don't mind to pay an upgrade fee. But it is really important
for me that I can install winedt without admin rights on restricted
accounts.

Re: WinEdt 6 release date

I would also like to ask that support for Y&Y TeX be included in 
WinEdt release 6.

Dear Joel

If you are using WinEdt, do the following

1. write your Macro as you did; for instance,

SetSearchCurrentDoc;
SetSearchForward(1);
SetSearchCaseSensitive(0);
SetSearchEntire(0);
SetSearchCyclic(1);
SetSearchRelaxed(0);
SetSearchWholeWords(0);
SetSearchInline(0);
SetSearchCurrentDoc;
SetRegEx(0);
SetReplaceRespectCaps(0);
SetReplacePrompt(1);

SetFindStr("whatever1");
SetReplaceStr("[1]");
SearchReset;
ReplaceAll;

SetFindStr("whatever2");
SetReplaceStr("[2]");
SearchReset;
ReplaceAll;

2. Save it somewhere; for instance, as "C:\MyMacro.edt".

3. From the WinEdt program, call the macro, by going to Macros->Execute Macro 
Script->YOUR FILE (or CTRL+F9->YOUR FILE).

Hope this helps!

WinEdt and Windows 7

Gentlepersons:

What about Windows 7 and WinEdit?  As far as I can see from the web 
sites WinEdt is not compatible with Windows 7.  Is that correct?  But 
what alternatives are there with Win 7?
