Download Brackets 1.5

Adobe has released version 1.5 of Brackets. This open source and cross platform text editor, developed in HTML, CSS and Javascript, focuses mainly on web development. The program includes Live Preview, which displays edits in the editor directly in the web browser, in-line editing, which allows customizing specific code without popups or extra tabs, and baked-in preprocessor support. Brackets can be downloaded with or without a preview of Extract for Brackets, a program that can extract information from PSD files, including colors, fonts, and gradations. The changelog for this release looks like this:

What’s New in Release 1.5

• Fold Selected Text: Select any text block in the editor and fold markers will appear to collapse the selected text.
• Instant Search (Improved Stability and Performance): Major stability and performance improvements. Find in Files can now index and search robustly in thousands of files instantly.
• CSS Code Hints in PHP: CSS code hints are now available for style elements inside PHP files.
• Remember Collapsed Linters: Remember collapsed state of linters on switching files.
• Improve JS Code Hints performance in minified files: JS Code Hints now perform more efficiently with minified files
• Resolve Brackets freezing/crashing on windows on reload: Fixed the crash when reloading Brackets through “Debug > Reload With Extensions” menu
