What's new

v2.0 [Mar 20, 2009]
. New Languages - The following formats have been added to the list of supported languages: AutoIt (never heard of it, saw someone post about it and decided to add it, why not!), C/C , ColdFusion, Java, PHP, and Regular Expression (thanks OmegaMan!)
· New Options Dialog - One of the things I wanted to do for a long time was expose some of the configuration parameters for the plugin. In previous versions, some of these configuration parameters were available in the configuration file. But now, you can edit them through a dialog and more of the options have been exposed.
· Customize Styles - In previous releases the styles used to apply the syntax highlighting were exposed in a very limited fashion. You could only get the cascading style sheet to include as a reference in your website. However, this works great only if your audience is viewing your posts in your website. If you want to make sure your RSS feeds, for example, have the proper formatting, you need to embed the styles. Now, you can change the look of your code snippets by modifying these styles through the Options dialog. The changes are stored in the configuration file and will be used to apply to any future code snippets you insert in your posts.
· Edit Code Snippets - In the original implementation, I did not want to use the in-place editing features of the Windows Live Writer API. So, I opted for a different implementation where you can highlight existing snippets of code, whether or not these were inserted using this plugin. Basically, any highlighted text can be converted to a code snippet. This is a great feature, if I may say so myself, for re-applying style changes, if you previously embedded the styles in your post.
· Convert Any Text to a Code Snippet - Using the same feature for editing snippets of code, you can now select any text in your post and convert it to a code snippet.
