Aba 2.0 released

25 Oct 2011

After a month of beta testing, I released Aba 2.0. The new features in this version include:

• Added syntax highlight for context viewer and for regular expressions.
• Implemented search history and favorites.
• Now you can undo a replacement if you have started another search or closed the program (undo information is saved in a dedicated folder).
• An editor or a viewer can be called for the selected file.
• When search or replacement is finished, the program notifies you by playing a sound.
• Visual styles and Windows 7 taskbar are now supported.
• When you edit the Replace with field, the search is not restarted (except when needed).
• Non-greedy matches are faster than they were in the previous version.

Many thanks to the beta testers: Kyle Alons, Massimiliano Tiraboschi, and JJS. Without your help, I would never find some tricky bugs :)

Unfortunately, German and Italian translations are still unfinished, but I'm waiting for response from our translators.
