Full change logs: brackets and brackets-shell
- Code editor now uses a new, open-source monospace web font from Adobe called Source Code Pro.
- "Debug > Show Extensions Folder" and "Debug > Check for Updates" have moved to the new Help menu.
Quick Open search provider API - your search provider's itemFocus() and itemSelect() functions will now get passed the item returned by your search() function, not a DOM node as before. In addition, search() can now optionally return an object instead of a string (which is then passed to resultsFormatter(), itemFocus(), and itemSelect()). Combined, these changes make it easier to store metadata for each search result.
The QuickOpen module has several new helper APIs: stringMatch() and basicMatch() simplify creating a basic search provider.
See the pull request for an example of updating an existing search provider for these changes.
package.json metadata - a new src/package.json
file was introduced to capture metadata in a format compatible with NPM.

- #1512: If you install Sprint 14 after having run Sprint 13 (and don't delete your prefs), the old Sprint 13 "Getting Started" project will show in your recent projects list (and will open by default if you left it open last time you quit Brackets). This has been fixed for future upgrades post-Sprint 14.
-
#1551: Changes within an extension (or a unit test) are not reflected by a simple "Debug > Reload Brackets." Workarounds:
- Quit and re-launch Brackets to pick up the changes.
- Open Developer Tools, click the gear icon in the lower-right, and select "Disable cache." This setting is remembered, but is only in effect so long as the Developer Tools browser tab remains open.
- Debug > Run Tests is disabled in the installer/DMG distributions of Brackets, because the unit test code is not included. To run unit tests, pull Brackets from GitHub instead.
- Debug > Show Developer Tools opens in a new tab in Chrome, rather than a new window in Brackets. This is a temporary(ish) change due to CEF3. But on the upside, CEF3's developer tools include many updated features!
- #1283: Text selection highlight sometimes jiggles when horizontally resizing window.
- #1473: Uninstalling on Windows sometimes does not remove the Start menu shortcut for Brackets.
- Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) by default will not allow Brackets to run since it's not being digitally signed yet. To work around this, right click the Brackets app and choose Open. You only need to do that once -- afterward, launching Brackets the normal way will work also.
