It's one of the biggest, greatest updates that we've ever done for our Mac code editor Nova. It totally overhauls how we handle languages. It adds a brand new comparison/diff view. And, just for fun, it has some great new dock icons. Nova 10 is here. nova.app

☑️ There are an incredible number of other fixes and improvements in this release. See them all here. nova.app/releases/

🌈 And just for fun, our wonderful icon artist Kenichi surprised us with a brand new set of celestially-inspired Nova dock icons you can now choose from. (Tip: you might need to reboot your Mac, or do a 'killall Dock', for the new icons to take effect.)

A screenshot of Nova's Settings > Theme view, showing some of the new Dock Icon choices. They are rainbow-colored and very beautiful. There's also a "Classic" icon in earlier Mac OS X style, and a "Extra Classic" icon in a sort-of Mac OS 7 style.

🔍 Nova 10 also adds a highly-requested new feature: comparison view. Slide it open to diff a file against a Git commit, or against another file, or even diff two specific commits, all without ever leaving Nova.

🌳 It starts with tree-sitter, an open source parser library. We're leveraging its power to dramatically increase Nova's speed and accuracy when rendering your favorite languages. Nova extensions can use it as well. And as a bonus, we closed out nearly 150 Nova language bugs.

🌴 If you're currently a Nova user getting a year's worth of updates, check your inbox. We've just extended your updates by one free month! There's nothing for you to do, just enjoy. (Also, a big update is coming soon!) Full email: lists.panic.com/w/4qN763RInPzw

A screenshot of an email to customers. The text is as follows: "We're adding an extra free month to your Nova updates! Why? Logan, the main engineer on your (hopefully) favorite Mac text editor Nova, has been working non-stop since shipping Nova 1. He's made it an incredible app, release after release, adding so much new stuff. But... we want Logan to take a break. And we don't want him to be stressed while doing it. Our never-ending drive to add new features to Nova and make your investment even more worthwhile can make it pretty tough to, well, take a vacation. So, we had an idea. We are going to add one free month to your Nova updates, to make up for Logan's quick vacation - and to hopefully put his mind at ease while he's away. There's nothing for you to do here, just enjoy an extra month of updates."

🔉 Happy Friday! In our continuing effort to preserve MP3 player history, we just recovered and converted 17 more Audion Faces, once used in our early Mac MP3 player. We also updated our modern simple Audion Viewer to 4.0.1. Get them here, and have fun! download.panic.com/audion-viewer

💭 Logan has been thinking a lot about the future directions for Nova's language support. If you're an extension developer — particularly one adding new languages to Nova — please read and share your thoughts!

devforum.nova.app

Hello Everyone, In the year and a half (!) since Nova’s launch, there’s been a lot of discussion and questions around languages and grammars. I’m here today to talk about this more in depth, discuss...

I wouldn't be celebrating this day if it wasn't for you. You cheered us on. Bought our software (or games (or handheld game systems)). Visited us at Macworld Expo. Reported bugs and ideas. Told your friends about us. You are why we are still here. Thank you, from all of us.

🎂 Panic is 25 years old today. Well, if you go by the date Steve and I first registered a business called "Panic LLC". A few years we re-registered as "Panic Inc", and a couple years after that hired actual employees, so this is Birthday 1.0, really, but a birthday nonetheless.
