What's New
Version 1.6.1:
  • Added a "dash://" URL scheme. Any URL of the form "dash://query" will initiate a search inside Dash.

  • The search engine will now also search inside snippets (full-text search).

  • Added an edit keyword filter button in the "Enable Docsets" table, to make it clear that the keyword filters are ... editable.


  • Added MySQL docset.

  • Added SQLite docset.

  • Added WordPress docset.

  • Added Python 3 docset.

  • Added Sparrow docset.

  • Added Kobold2D docset.

  • Added Cocos3D docset.

  • Added Node.js docset.

  • Added JavaFX docset. Thanks to Ivanov Alexander!

  • Fixed a bug which caused the Man Pages docset to return "No Entry" for all man pages. Thanks to Alejandro Rodriguez!


  • The filterable Table of Contents now shows type icons.

  • Modified the "Find Inline" menu item to just "Find..." and changed the keyword shortcut to CMD+F. Basically, if you want to search inline press CMD+F, if you want to get to the main search field, press your keyboard shortcut assigned in Preferences.

  • Dash will now show search engine results, for easy access to search engines when you can't find what you need.

  • Fixed a bug with the Unity 3D docset where users were not able to switch between code examples in different languages.


  • Fixed a bug which caused Snow Leopard users to not be able to hide the Dock icon.

  • Fixed a bug which caused the main window to sometimes not respond to user input.

  • Fixed a bug which caused Dash to add and search empty docsets while they were being extracted/installed.

  • Fixed a bug which caused Dash to switch spaces when activating.



  • The docset search engine has been rewritten. This means:
      

    • Same speed, better results.

    • Reduced CPU usage.

    • Reduced HDD usage (i.e. faster searching when your HDD is busy accessing files).

    • Fixed a bug which caused the search field to sometimes not respond to input in the Standard window while searching for something longer than 6-7 characters.
    


  • The parser that builds the contents of the filterable Table of Contents has been improved and the following changes were made:
      

    • Mac & iOS docsets will now show Constants.

    • The Android and Java docsets will show shortened method definitions (i.e. add(String) instead of add(java.lang.String)).

    • Some bugs were fixed in the Android and Java docsets. For example, some methods used to show up in the "Constants" category in some pages.

    • The Ruby docset should now reliably show methods, constants and attributes in the ToC.

    • The Ruby on Rails docset should now show Constants and Attributes in the ToC, alongside methods.
    


  • Some docsets have been reindexed and updated. Important note: to update the docsets you have installed, go to Preferences > Docsets and press the Check for Updates button.
      

    • The Android docset used to contain only classes. It has been reindexed to include everything (classes, methods, constants, fields, xml attributes)

    • The Java docset has been updated to include some entries that were previously missing (most notably entries that have special characters).

    • Fixed a bug which caused the Ruby on Rails docset to not show the right page for "Constant" results.

    • Fixed a bug which caused the Python and Django docset to not show the right page for "Package" results. Thanks to Gustavo Ambrozio!


This update to Dash was meant as a revision for all docsets and the search engine. If, after this version, you find anything wrong with a docset or anything at all, do let me know. For example, I've never used Ruby on Rails and have no idea about the typical workflow of rails developers and how they search for what they need. As always, if you feel that something should be different, drop me an email.
