First Look at Editorial 1.1
-
last edited byAs you might imagine, I'm quite busy updating Editorial for iOS 7. I still have a lot of work ahead of me, and I can't give you a release date yet, but I'm getting closer, so here are a few details. First things first – screenshots (click on the previews for full-resolution images):
(obviously, these are work in progress, the final version might look a bit different)
Editorial 1.1 will require iOS 7. I know that some of you won't like this, but sooner or later, it's inevitable, and all iPad models that run iOS 6 also support iOS 7, so this doesn't mean leaving any older devices behind. iOS 7 is so different from its predecessor that it's a lot more difficult to support older versions than it was with previous upgrades.
The update will include a complete UI overhaul, some new features, and bugfixes. Here's just a list of the most important things:
New Features:
- Live word count (optional, you can see how it looks in the first screenshot)
- Possibility to create shareable links for Dropbox documents
- New workflow action to do in-document search
- New workflow action to add URLs to Safari's Reading List
- New text-to-speech workflow action
- Courier Prime as a new font option
- Options for disabling extended Markdown syntax (e.g. footnotes), these options will also be available in the Convert Markdown to HTML workflow action
- Customizable HTML template for the Markdown preview
- Option to disable the snippet expansion sound effect
- New
webbrowser.can_open()function that can be used to determine programmatically, whether other apps (that have URL schemes) are installed
Bugfixes:
- Snippets will no longer be inserted twice when tapping the suggestion bubbles
- TextExpander integration will be supported on iOS 7
- Headings will no longer require a space after the '#' character to show up correctly in the HTML preview (this is currently inconsistent between the in-editor preview and the HTML preview panel)
As I said, it's not done yet, and it's always difficult to estimate release dates, but I still wanted to give you a little preview of what's next for Editorial.

Completely lost track how many times I've checked back on this forum post for updates on release (I'm sure your analytics knows!)
So very grateful and excited to dig in to this, thank you Ole!

last edited byA good thing is worth waiting for.

last edited byWahoo!!!
Anyone have an idea how long a typical wait is before Apple approves an update?
Looks good Ole! Way to go!

last edited byActual stats say 4-5 days

last edited byShort Answer: not soon enough in this case!
I've typically seen a couple days to a couple weeks depending on the complexity of app, or complications that end in back and forth for approvals. Certainly never on the weekends so I'm banking on Tues/Wed. Should we start a betting pool :-)

@tomkirn It'll probably be out a little later than Editorial 1.1, but I'm in the final stages of beta testing there as well.

last edited byThanks Ole. Can't wait!
Does the new Search in Editor action accept regex?

last edited by@Ole, Will there be support for equations (via Mathjax)...?
-
last edited byWell, I cut the release notes to Evernote. For reading in what I call "interstitial time". If you have family, especially teenage kids, you'll recognise the utility of that phrase. :-)
-
last edited byYeah, nobody does anything here today, unless you work in the service industry. But Apple may well not have anybody above Apple Store employees working -- and maybe not them, I don't know. And I don't know if the review department works weekends. But, what's another few days. Exciting regardless :)

last edited byThere's no built-in support for Mathjax, but it'll probably possible to include it by using a custom HTML preview template (haven't really tried this yet, but I don't see why it shouldn't work).
