- Editora 0.21.0: a faster editor and a reworked Local History
Editora 0.21.0 does less work per keystroke, per tab switch and at startup, uses less memory per open file, reworks Local History, makes code lenses clickable, and confines the MCP server's open_file tool to the project.
- Editora 0.20.0: more Git, crash recovery, and settings sync
Editora 0.20.0 handles merges, rebases, branches, remotes, tags, stashes and patches from inside the editor, keeps unsaved edits through a crash, syncs snippets and templates between computers, and reworks printing and PDF export.
- Editora 0.19.0: faster on large files, safer with untrusted ones
Editora 0.19.0 makes highlighting incremental, opens large files without freezing, lets a debugged Java program read its input, and restricts what an opened file, repository, or link is allowed to do.
- Editora 0.18.6: compact Java debugging and more AI choices
Editora 0.18.6 adds debugging for compact and shebang Java sources, Codex AI Actions, an LM Studio/OpenCode preset, clearer Git output, and experimental native archives.
- Editora 0.18.5: faster Java completion and safer editing
Java member completion appears immediately and stale requests are cancelled, Maven can run on a JDK you select, the Run window opens on every run, and save, LSP, Git, diff, and merge operations refuse stale state.
- Editora 0.18.4: JavaFX 27 and one-step JUnit debugging
Editora 0.18.4 moves to JavaFX 27, adds debugging for the JUnit test at the caret, fixes a Local History race, and enforces the supported build toolchain.
- Editora 0.18.3: steadier Project Map navigation
Independent Project Map zoom and column-focus options, a C-x 1 that also closes tool windows, and navigation targets that stay clear of sticky headers.
- Editora 0.18.2: better Emacs window control and clearer actions
More Emacs window-management keys, a fix for C-x 1 across editor groups, color-coded Save and Discard buttons, and consistent typography on editable tabs.
- Editora 0.18.1: safer saves, history, and Git workflows
Local and remote saves, file history, Project-tree deletion, Git operations, agent edits, and LSP workspace changes are safer when they overlap.
- Editora 0.18.0: Astro support and notes on the map
Astro syntax and language-server support, folder bookmarks and notes, connected Project Map cards, and a broad reliability pass arrive in Editora 0.18.0.
- Editora 0.17.0: whole-change review and editable diffs
The diff viewer gains multi-file Git reviews, recursive folder comparisons, editable result drafts, smart alignment, and three-way merge resolution.
- Editora 0.16.0: navigate your project on a canvas
A new Project Map turns the file hierarchy into a focused, zoomable canvas with directional keyboard navigation, live filters, and a floating code preview.
- Editora 0.15.0: printing, Typst structure, and menus that keep up
A long Markdown file that printed as fourteen mostly blank pages now prints correctly. Typst files fold and outline by section, the Maven tree lists every goal a plugin offers, and the VCS menu is no longer greyed out inside a Git repository.
- Editora 0.14.0: a chrome release
The menu bar can share the title bar, three bars of chrome are reconsidered, Search Everywhere can now replace the command palette, and toggling Simple UI mode got about four times faster.
- Editora 0.13.1: a startup crash on most non-AVX-512 CPUs
0.13.0 aborted a fraction of a second into startup on most consumer Intel from 12th gen onward and every AMD before Zen 4. If you installed it, upgrade. This note explains what happened.
- Editora 0.13.0: a navigation release
Search Everywhere, symbol navigation with no language server, ranked pickers, sticky scroll, Peek Definition and preview tabs, plus 255 MB less peak memory.
- Editora 0.12.2 and 0.12.3: fixes for the single-instance handoff
Opening a file from your file manager now raises the editor and gives the file a window of its own. Both are fixes to the handoff 0.12.1 introduced.
- Editora 0.12.1: one editor, and 225 ms off the startup
Opening a file from your file manager now reuses the editor you already have open instead of starting a second one, and the first frame that shows your file arrives about 225 ms sooner.
- Editora 0.12.0: panels that go where you want, poms you can read
Tool windows maximize, re-dock, share a side, and float into their own window. A pom.xml previews as a summary that resolves the versions it can and marks the ones it can't, and Maven can bring an existing project's versions up to date, showing you the diff first.
- Editora 0.11.0: start a new project from the editor
A New Maven Project wizard, git init from inside the editor, inlay hints that sit where they belong, and typing that stops getting slower the longer you leave the editor open.
- Editora 0.10.0: a look of its own, and two files on screen at once
Editora Light and Dark, a rebuilt Settings and a flatter interface; a menu bar over the command registry; independent editor groups that nest, drag and persist; run configurations for scripts and make targets, shareable with your team; per-project settings you can commit; bracket-pair colorization, the four missing fold commands, and Java paste auto-import.
- Editora 0.9.10: the language-server release
Code actions, rename, signature help, inlay hints, call and type hierarchy, occurrence highlighting and server-provided folding; run and debug a real project's main class; the Emacs model completed with a kill ring, narrowing, rectangles and query-replace; and Doctor, a health screen for every external tool.
- The site got a redesign
A rebuilt home page, a live command-palette demo, side-by-side keymaps, and search across every page with Cmd-K.
- Editora 0.9.9: asks before it builds
Workspace trust for repo-supplied build wrappers, a much smarter command palette that explains what it can't run, the HTTP client as a real preview, and a 28% faster start on Apple silicon.
- Editora 0.9.8: GitHub, without a token
Review and check out pull requests, submit reviews, and jump from a failed CI log straight to the line, all through your own gh CLI. Plus a smarter test runner and gdb-style debug controls.
- Editora 0.9.7: performance and polish
Work that was happening on the UI thread moves off it, so typing, scrolling, and zooming stay smooth, plus colored consoles, a project-grouped Bookmarks and Notes, and a palette that shows what it's hiding.
- Editora 0.9.6: a security and correctness sweep
A systematic security and correctness sweep across nearly every feature, with SSH host-key verification, per-provider AI keys, owner-only config, and dozens of audit-driven fixes.
- Editora 0.9.5: a hardening release

Each detected build tool gets a toolbar icon with an IntelliJ-style actions popup that streams the chosen task to a per-tool console.
- Editora 0.9.1 is here
