Well, this is refreshing. With all the "Is ST3 abandonware??" threads out there recently, this is welcome news. That said, only four items on the release log in 6 months? And sidebar icons, at that? Not that I think you need to crank out a new version every six months, but... I wonder what's been going on there since Christmas. Hope this is just a sign that they're getting back in gear and we'll get some improvements soon!

  Said every dying product ever (and, to be fair, some non-dying ones).

  Interesting. Last year, he had another employee, one that coded. Hasn't worked out, it seems. That's a shame. Not only would he get more work done, I do think another dev person could shift the priorization a little more towards fixing long standing issues. Maybe.

I'm kind of wondering why a 4 item change log is even worth reporting news wise lol.

  Sidebar icons aren't just a case of adding an image. I've listed some reasons here: http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15915&start=30#p59982 http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15915&s...

  Well, in development in general, even an 1 item changelog can represent months or even years of work. E.g Foobar Language: * Now has a JIT It's not like the changelog is a "commit log". It represent 4 new features. Plus, the real news is that ST3 development shows signs of starting again after a hiatus. lol.

I wonder what's been going on there since Christmas. How about taking a break because of burn-out? (Previous ST2/ST3 schedule was hectic). I bet my money those items represent what he did AFTER he started again (like, last 1-2 weeks), not an actual 6-month development period.

Maybe in next 6 months we can get some icon on statusbar.

  I've never thought about that as a feature, but it'd be useful for inline build statuses etc.
