Editra A Developer's Text Editor

VERSION 0.7.01
DATE 04/23/2012
50th Alpha Release

NEWS:

Update to fix issue with translations.

BUG FIXES:

• +Fix localizations not loading correctly.

There was a mishap on the initial upload that was missing a dependency which would lead to the Launch plugin failing to load. This was corrected by reuploading the installers for the Windows and Mac binaries. If you were one of the few that downloaded the package in the short time it was up and cant get Launch to load please re-download the installer and run it again to install the missing dependency.

Sorry for the trouble.
