[Developers] Announcing Acre dev/19

[Stefano Mazzocchi]

On behalf of the Acre team, I'm happy to announce the release of Acre 
"dev/19".

This is a minor release (no major feature was introduced) but some of 
the changes might be of interest to you because they polish some rough 
edges that we introduced earlier (and are likely to make your life easier):

- resizable sidebar: the 'files' sidebar on the left side is now 
resizable (and remembers it across accesses!) make it easier to deal 
with files with longer names

- 'jslint' integration: now you can run JSLint over your javascript, 
css, and HTML to validate your code directly inside Acre.

- indent button: select some text and have acre re-indent it for you! 
(try it, it's magic!) [well, the feature was there before but now much 
easier to find]

- 'recent' menu: keeps track of the apps you've visited recently, making 
it easier to navigate back and forth between various apps
in the same browser tab

- cache headers for static files and images: acre will now set the right 
cache headers for your static resources, making your application
feel a lot faster

- browser shift-reload will force fresh content: acre will force to 
invalidate all caches when a user requests a page thru shift-reload. 
This makes is possible to have fresh content also in the regular view, 
not only in the console view

- reduced system logging noise for FirePHP: now acre tries to be as 
quiet as possible and leave you in charge of your logs. This is 
especially useful when your script was causing a lot of subrequests

- improved urlfetch logging: acre will log more information about the 
urlfetches your scripts make, so that you can understand better the 
reason for an eventual failure

- <span acre:trim=''> removes extra whitespace inside the element in 
acre templates. See an example of use at 
http://freebaseapps.com/wiki/acre_template_reference

... and lots more.

For the insatiably curious, see

Happy Freebase app gardening with Acre!
