Light Table v0.8.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-12-10 // over 8 years ago

  • 🔄 CHANGELOG

    • 🔄 CHANGED: We have switched to Electron from NW.js
    • 🚀 CHANGED: LT's releases and self-updating processes are completely in the open on Github
    • 🔄 CHANGED: We no longer ship with a node binary as we're able to use Electon's node binary for background processes
    • 🔄 CHANGED: Proxy support has been disabled. There is an issue for re-enabling it at #1984. We are looking for help on how to QA this.
    • CHANGED: :lt.objs.app/set-default-zoom-level behavior takes a value from 0 to 1. With NW.js, it could take negative numbers which no longer work and will freeze LT on startup
    • 🔄 CHANGED: When opening a file from the commandline, each invocation opens a new LightTable app regardless of whether LightTable is already open. To optionally bring back the old behavior, see #2014.
