The Yzis team is proud to release Yzis M2, the second milestone of the
Yzis ("Why this ?") editor.
Yzis is a vi-compatible editor which provides a reusable vi engine and
different user interfaces.
Since the first milestone, a lot has happened for Yzis and we have
welcome three new contributors. Thank to the dedicated work of this
growing development team, Yzis is moving forward at a quick place.

The focus is on bug-fixing the existing features, simplifying the code
to make it more robust, easier to extend, and on adding all the features
that are necessary for a modern code editor.
Here is a summary of the main changes since the previous release:

- - reduced memory consumption and start-up performance
- - undo/redo support
- - full scripting thank to the Lua scripting engine
- - addition of a configuration system
- - rewrite of the command system for increased simplicity and extensibility
- - rewrite of the renderer engine for increased performance
- - new visual modes
- - object motions support
- - registers support
- - more Vim-like commands
- - swap file and recovery
- - translations
- - printing support through Qt or pslib
- - macros
- - fixed and non fixed fonts support in kyzis
- - improved ktexteditor support
- - basic cindent support


As of today, Yzis is available as a terminal editor, as a KDE editor and
as a KDE editor component for KDE projects such as Quanta or KDevelop.
We hope to extend the list of applications taking advantage of the Yzis
engine in the future and would welcome any new ports.

The next milestone is targeted for the end of 2004 and work has already
begun.
