With the excitement of the 0.9 release of Jaxer and the Aptana Studio 1.1 release behind them, the Aptana development team spent the past week working on the first patch release for 0.9/1.1. The Aptana community should have access to these patches early next week.

New Release

The upcoming Aptana Studio 1.1 release will be a patch release that fixes several bugs in 1.1, including the following issues:

• An encoding bug where workspace text encoding isn't saved after re-starting Aptana (STU-1111)
• A bug involving CSS pseudo classes (STU-1035)
• A bug in Prototype code assist involving the $() function(STU-134)
