CherryTree is a text editor, with the features of a modern editor, such as syntax highlighting, spell check, export to html, password protection, and many others.
The latest version available is CherryTree 0.35.8, which has been released recently, coming with changes:
- protected documents: better checks at extraction time to cope with 7zip extracting zero size files after a wrong password
- changed behaviour of HOME and END key presses in text: at first press move the cursor to start or end of the line, at second go to smart start or end (start or end excluding spaces)
- dialog tablecolumnhandle: change active radiobutton with Tab and auto focus to text entry
- added support for Scala programming language (from gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs)
- bug-fix in import from html and notecase and nested span tags
- bug-fix: changing a node syntax highlighting from code to plain text and vice versa did not update the font
- bug-fix: if a node has the read only property set, do not let the user change the node type
- bug-fix: after changing node type from rich to non rich text, the undo removes all text
- bug-fix: preferences dialog, the timestamp format help button was linked to a web page listing options not
- implemented in the python version; now the link goes to the exact python implementation
