If you use Panic’s Coda web-development app, thanks and guess what! We have 2 exciting new things for you. Coda 2, a seriously beefed-up (and trimmed-down) update. And Diet Coda, the potent portable iPad version for quick fixes on the go. It’s serious business.
Not my current editor of choice, but this looks like a very impressive upgrade.

For better or worse, the CSS WG, and Opera’s browser development, operate in the public. If this were a silent upgrade — and didn’t disturb current behavior as noted in the technical section above — none of us would know, let alone care. Unfortunately, though, all of this does happen in the public, and so the choices they make send a message.
