I pushed out a new version of Reggy this morning.

Release Notes:

• added preference to apply sub-match/capture group coloring: each match or capture group gets a slightly different shade of color — especially nice for nesting matches
• added preference to automatically use the clipboard contents on startup for the regular expression and/or the testing string
• added menu items to paste the clipboard directly into either the regular expression (Command+Shift+V) or the testing string (Command+Option+V)
• added a new and improved Reggy icon (Leopard Compatible/Resolution Independent)
• added help link for regular expression syntax preference (goes to wikipedia)
• updated regular expression engine
• simplified preferences window

Thanks should go to Steve Huff at the Harvard-MIT Data Center for requesting the startup clipboard preferences. It was a great idea that, along with the menu items to quickly paste into the fields, many people will be happy to see.

So anyways, Leopard’s icon size is big, and I mean big:

I had to redraw the icon this morning because the clipping icon I was using was swiped from Tiger. I figured it would probably be proper of me to not steal the clipping icon.

I am really excited to get onto developing a Leopard-only 2.0 version. I am starting to read through the new documentation now. Let me just say thank you to Apple for making developing stuff like Reggy fun and easy.

I just made a small upgrade on Reggy’s website for those of you who haven’t used Reggy.

Reggy has a new home… reggyapp.com

I needed a site to host some things on to do Sparkle integration, so I went ahead and purchased the domain name to host with.

At some point I hope to do a real website with feeds and such, but for now it gives some information and links to places where Reggy can be seen and/or downloaded.

One of the real benefits of having this site is that hopefully you will be able to check just one place for updates to Reggy in the future.

Thanks to a few noble users, Reggy’s Bug Tracker is getting use. Most of the issues are feature requests and I am slowly getting time to get to them.

I already have preferences going. Here are a few screenshots to give you an idea of where it’s going:

Hopefully that will help some people out.

I am not going to release 1.2 until I get Sparkle going for automatic application updates. It looks like that will happen hopefully within this week or next.
