There are only a few changes in this release

- Spell checking in comments
- Few slight syntax coloring bug fixes
- Jump to function definition (pretty raw at the moment)

The new bundles, which can be downloaded on the right, have a few slight changes from the last beta. First, there are a few small syntax coloring fixes, and second is the attempt to get code completion a bit more stable.

I should mention that the testing / developing environment I am using is Textmate build 1.5.8 (1498) - the bleeding edge one. If you are not using that version, and you find the plugins fail horribly, please post a comment.

The code completion now uses “<cf” as the trigger to show you CFML completions. There are two reasons for this:

1) It will separate cf tags from html tags (when they can live together)
2) It allows you to filter the suggestions without having to first type “cf” first.

The completion is still a bit fragile, and if you are building from source you might find you have to build the code a few times before they work correctly. It seems to have something to do with the way the plugin precedence is ordered. If you find when you do “<cf” ctrl+space and you get a list of HTML tags, you’ll need to rebuild the plugin. I am trying to get that sorted.

If you are just downloading from the pre-made bundles on the right of the page you should be good… hopefully. For the curious this is what it looks like:

The completion suggestions are controlled by pressing ctrl+space after typing <cf and then, after a space pressing ctrl+space for the attributes.

I am an über nut bag and I want the raw code as it is committed / I want to help write cftextmate.

You can checkout the code from GitHub. You’ll have to be a bit of a self starter for that at present. The readme is still in flux, but should get you started.

If you have any questions, you can post them on the CFTextMate Google Group

I too am an über nut bag, but I don’t want to checkout the code; however, I want the very latest, possibly unstable, code.

You can use the Alpha version which is kind of like a nightly, but I only build it when something interesting has been added. This is more or less what I run on my computer day to day, but has the potential of having bugs. You can download the CFTextMate Alpha there.

This too is based on the latest Adobe ColdFusion release.

I want the newest features, but something that has been, at least, slightly tested. I want a version specific to Railo, BlueDragon, etc

Use the Beta version (currently 3.0). The beta versions can be downloaded from this site on the download section (currently on the right side of the home page).

(see Which version of ColdFusion do I use below)

I want the super stable version

This version will have less features, but will have been around the longest. This is also for the latest public Adobe distribution of Coldfusion (it will work with Railo and BlueDragon, but the tags and items are specifically for Adobe Coldfusion).

You can grab this version (currently version 2.0) on this site as well - on the right on the home page.

Or you can get this version by using the Macromates SVN and checking out the code to your ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles directory.

Which version of ColdFusion do I use / what is the difference between ColdFusion and ColdFusion 8 bundles - do I need both?

No, you don’t need both. The ColdFusion bundle is probably what you are after. That is the bundle for the latest Coldfusion server from Adobe. The reason there is an 8 version is because it’s part of the distribution machinery, and ColdFusion 9 is in the works - kind of planning ahead.

If you want a specifically built bundle - say Railo for example, you just download the Railo version of the bundle and that’s it.

If you code for both Railo and Adobe Coldfusion, and you want the editor to be somewhat smart about help files and what not, you can download and install both bundles.

I hope that cleared up any confusion, and if you have any questions / comments / suggestions the CFTextMate Google Group is always open.

My name is Rob Rohan, and Bill Duenskie has let me borrow the reigns on the CFTextmate project. Since I have more or less abandoned Eclipse, I’ve started doing all my development in Textmate.

The latest stable version of CFTextmate is 2.0. 2.0 was released before I started working on the project, so I am marking my stuff as 3.0 Beta. I still have a lot of things I want to add, but I’ve got most of my personal day to day needs taken care of in 3.0.

The major changes in 3.0, I think, are the inclusion of other CF engines and versions (Railo (which is awesome), BlueDragon, CF5, etc). Also thing like cffunction folding, function names in the symbol list, and cfscript colouring. Thanks to everyone on the mailing list.

Here is a movie to show it off a bit.

You can download the plugin(s) from the side bar. If you are into source code, you can get the code on github (releases will still be published to the textmate trunk). And, as usual, you can join the mailing list.

(Thanks to Geoff from Daemon (where I work) for egging me to take this on)

I was able to find all the new tags for scorpio as well as the updated attributes for existing tags. I will begin working on the updates to the bundle this week. I’m hoping to release the update by next Saturday, so stay tuned.

Thanks

I’m looking to update the bundle but I can’t for the life of me find a list of new tags/attributes for Scorpio. If anyone has a list or knows where to find them, please send them to me!

Thanks

I’m happy to announce that version 2.0 of CFTextMate is now available. In this release we’ve:

1. Added in support for all CF functions (this is limited though, see below)
2. SQL syntax highlighting (thanks to Adam and Nathan)
3. Trimmed down the language file to get rid of everything uneeded (thanks Adam)

Unfortunately though functions cannot be activated via the tab trigger when you’re inside a CF tag that has already been activiated via a tab trigger. This is a limitation with TextMate itself, so it’s something that can’t be changed. You can always setup a key binding to activate the functions for the time being.

I’d also like to thank Adam and Nathan for the help they’ve given on this project! You can always find the latest development information by visiting the CFTextMate Google Group.
