This is my most interesting and most actively developed project. Geany is a small and lightweight integrated development environment. It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, which has only a few dependencies from other packages. Another goal was to be as independent as possible from a special Desktop Environment like KDE or GNOME. So it is using only the GTK2 toolkit and therefore you need only the GTK2 runtime libraries to run Geany.
…If you didn’t notice it already, Geany 1.22 is out.
As usual, Geany got new features, more and updated translations and of course several fixes.
Read the release announcement on Geany’s website.
…A little heads up: Geany 1.23.1 has been released.
This is a bugfix release to address two regressions in the previous 1.23 release.
On Windows, after 1.23 it was no longer possible to open files from the command line because we added a change to change the working directory on Windows to the installation directory of Geany. This should have solved issues with plugins loading resources using relative paths. Unfortunately, it broke also opening files from the command line if relative paths were used.
…Introduction
I’d thought it might be useful to share some information and experiences about the “public relationship” work happening in Germany for the Xfce and Geany projects.
In the last years (since about 2010), a few guys of the German Xfce community organized Xfce presentation booths at various Linux conferences (Froscon near Cologne, OpenRheinRuhr in Oberhausen, Chemnitzer Linux Tage in Chemnitz). In the meantime, these guys (including me) perform also booths for Geany and Midori next to the Xfce booth, simply because we are all the same people knowing the projects quite well.
…While viewing the logs of geany.uvena.de, I noticed one of the logged search keyphrases was “die moldau friedrich smetana”.
As this classical music composer and his most popular symphonic poem “The Moldau” is in no way related to Geany, it’s quite surprising that a very popular search engine lists geany.uvena.de as the first hit in the results list.
