[Vala] ANNOUNCE: Scratchpad 0.3.0



Scratchpad 0.3.0 is now available from:
http://www.chorse.org/stuff/scratchpad/scratchpad-0.3.0.tar.bz2

About
====
Scratchpad is a lightweight but useful spatial text editor for the
GNOME desktop, based on gtksourceview.

This is the first release after the port to Vala, which means that
Scratchpad runs natively now and does not require mono anymore.
Another new feature is tag-based replacing, as demonstrated in this
screencast:

Changes since 0.2
===========
New Features:
- Complete port/rewrite to Vala, Scratchpad now runs (flys) natively!
- Tag-based replace mechanism.
- Use GUniqueApp for single instance behaviour, so startup notification
 and focus stealing should work better now.

Removed Features:
- No more GnomeVFS, waiting for GVFS!
- Revisions. Wasn't happy with them, to be reconsidered.
- Autosave and save options. Now defaults to save on focus out (saving
 your laptop batteries).
- Tools menu.

Bugfixes:
- It's practically a rewrite, so all bugs should be brand new!
- Icon sucks less.

Known Problems:
- Font changes won't take effect immediately.
