Hey all,

Some of you wondered where we went, we didnt go anywhere, we were busy at work fixing all of your reported bugs and feature requests.

here are some updates:

• So yes, from the title you can imagine we are currently launched in silent mode to open alpha with alot of bug fixs and feature addons and removes also. anyone can signup now to the service to use it as free edition.
• Speaking of, We will launch our premium edition services by the end of this month including all of the Subversion tracking full support and lots more for affordable prices. keep watching the frontpage for updates.
• We tweaked the design a bit, darker, cleaner, keep improving, let us hear your thoughts about it. do you want color schema selection?
• Sandbox mode! no need to signup to test drive the editor, there are alot more functionality outside the editor such as the community and project management but we wanted to show off the editor, you can signup for free to enjoy the full potential of the devunity platform after playing with the sandbox project.
• Also, we will release a cool feature called devunity.com/university, its an experiment to let you people build and watch interactive code screencasts, you will be able to watch screencasts and code with the screencast at the same time using our devunity university platform, later on we will let you build online screencasts tutorials, Teach people how to code online and much more.
  but for now we are only featuring ones that are licensed to us. if you got ones, let us know at info@devunity.com and we’ll push them online.
• Just a hint. We are starting to experiment with our marketplace with a twist at http://www.workforoptions.com. It just went up, test drive it and let us know what you think. Early users get free accounts. go for it.
• <!– end –>

Well, the day has come to deploy our new version with exciting stuff:

• New UI, Slicker, Cleaner, Quicker.
• Some Refurbished Community page, to make the process of finding other projects bit easier.
• Editor has some new cool functionalities, You can now drag drop files from and to any folders and folders also, just like in your regular code editor. We got rid of the tabs for opened files, instead you got a dropdown menu showing currently opened files.
• We rolled out alpha support for Chrome Users, We did major redesign to the code in-order to make the Chrome users get the full potential of their V8 Engine. enjoy.
• Lots and lots of feedback being implemented by you. Keep on sending us feedback. We read everything and implement (its not going to our spam bucket, count on that!).

So, it hasn’t been that long since we announced some new features and viola we got few more to pile up.

• First thing first, Firefox!!!
  We release our new Firefox add-on, the addon after installed lets you synchronize your project files to a local directory straight on your local computer, you can choose where to sync your files, everything will be under folder for each project you sync. 

  you can now Write ruby, php or any other language, direct your local apache or ruby or any other webserver to that directory and test files locally.

  You can now fully test your code and other peoples code without any problems. If someones saves you will get his updated copy straights on your local computer. 

• Full file and segment permissions,
  Now you can truly keep your code secure, Invite coders to a specific piece of code, lock all of your code, share some of it. set read write execute permissions on a file or a line of code to any of your developers with ease from your file section. its really easy and it enables you more security and control over your project. Lock core files, let users edit your template or fix bugs where you want while keeping everything secure.
• Packages packages packages!
  We added lots and lots of code libraries for you,  CakePhp, Dojo, Meebo, Textpattern and many more, Same as before, click to add, no brainer. enjoy.
• Search for projects,
  Yes, we are aware that the tags are growing insanely out of balance because of alot of projects being created. You can now search for projects on the community page without having to browse the tags section, Find your project flavor by searching for it, ask for permission and start developing socially!
