June release(3.8) of Phoenix Code is now available for download at phcode.io.

This update addresses a critical issue where Phoenix Code crashes in M1 Macs at app start after a recent macOS update. Also fixes app start issues in some newer Linux distributions with latest webkitGTK.

This month's theme is all about HTML assistance, Drag and Drop and ESLint. We've also addressed numerous feature requests and bug reports, along with improving app UX and stability.

HTML Validation​

We have added HTML Validator to help you find errors like duplicate IDs, unrecognized tags, and more. Read more here.

Drag and Drop Files and Folders in Desktop Apps - Experimental​

Drag files from Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) and drop them into Phoenix Code to open individual files. Drop a folder to open it as a project.

Note: This feature is currently disabled on Linux due to UI issues in some Linux distributions. To enable it, select menu Debug -> Experimental Features -> Drag And Drop Files.

This feature is not yet available in the browser version @ phcode.dev

ESLint Support​

All new and simplified ESLint experience that displays all ESLint errors in a file. Fix one or all errors with a single click. To enable, open a project that uses ESLint in Phoenix Code. Read more here.

UX Improvements​

• Non-Intrusive Automatic Updates: Updates are now installed in the background with no more distracting dialogs when an update is available.
• Case-Sensitive File Renaming: Renaming files to a different case, such as a.txt to A.TXT, is now supported.
• File > New Project is now renamed to Start Project.
• Increased stability and app startup experience.

May release(3.7) of Phoenix Code is now available for download at phcode.io.

This month's release is all about Live previews and the little things that make your work just a bit easier. We've also addressed numerous feature requests and UX bug reports, along with improving app UX and stability.

Live CSS Class and Style Code Hints​

Interactively edit CSS styles and classes using the up/down arrow keys in code hints. This is available in CSS files and inline CSS styles/class names in HTML files. This provides an instant boost to your HTML and CSS workflows.

CSS/HTML Code Hints improvements​

Improved relevance of suggestions in CSS and HTML code hints. For E.g., typing b in a CSS file will prioritize background-color. Typing between will bring up relevant CSS property-value combinations like align-content: space-between; (see image below), so you don't have to remember which value is under which CSS property.

Move to trash/bin when deleting files​

Deleting files from the files panel in desktop apps will move the file/folder to trash/recycle bin instead of permanently deleting it.

UX Improvements​

• Deleting the Phoenix Code folder in user Documents directory is now supported.
• Increased stability and app startup experience.
• Copy Error Message button is now available in the problems panel.
