New version of Boxer text editor for programmers, v13, has been released by David Hamel. This new version adds dozens of new features to the editor:

PORTABLE/USB EDITING - install Boxer to a USB memory stick for portable, on-the-go editing. All of Boxer's configuration files are maintained on the removable medium, and no traces are left on the host machine. I've installed Boxer in my OCZ Rally pen drive (8MB) in Linux and it is running just fine, also in all Windows I have in my machines.

HEX/BINARY EDITING - Boxer can now be used to edit hex files in a custom hex editing mode. Edit using two-digit hex codes, or by entering ASCII characters directly.

UNICODE EDITING - edit UTF-8 and UTF-16 Unicode files, or convert among ASCII/Unicode formats. Edit XML files, log files, registry files etc, and any other Unicode files whose multi-byte content can be mapped onto the current code page.

VISTA COMPATIBLE - Boxer is now fully compatible with Windows Vista. Boxer maintains its configuration files in a separate "AppData" folder, apart from its installation location in "Program Files," in accordance with Vista's User Account Control (UAC) feature.

... and many, many more. See the full list here:

I'm using Boxer since its first versions, in OS/2 Warp, Windows, DOS and Linux and strongly recommend it for all Web professionals and programmers. Boxer exist in native versions for OS/2, DOS and all Windows. For Linux you have to install it using CodeWeavers API emulator (CrossOver). Interested?
