JetBrains just released the newest EAP build, one in a long line of builds they’ve been releasing for us developers in their Early Access Program. I truly believe it’s awesome how JetBrains listens to their users and work hard to release this cutting edge editor.

What’s inside

phpStorm 2.0 has a lot of hot features. Most of them are already working in the newest EAP builds.

Features already in:

• Zend debugger support
• Refactoring features
• New code inspections
• Structure view sorting and filtering
• New full-fledged code editor for SQL console, editable results grid, blob support
• LESS support
• New DVCS UI (Git, etc) with easy multiple repository branch switching, built-in log views and integrated cherrypicking, etc
• Softwrap in code editor
• Mercurial support
• RelaxNG support

Implementation in process:

• “Any framework” support mechanism
• Zend framework support (zendtool, generators)
• full fledged PHP namespace support
• SASS 3 support, compilation support
• Streamlined UI: more compact layout, better indication, better blending into OS style

December 1, 2010: Total Commander 7.56 is now available for download. This version mainly corrects some errors which were found after the release of Total Commander 7.55a, but also adds some minor new features. The most important are:

• Button bar right click menu: Option to run a program as administrator
• Find files: Keep last search results when using “Go to file” or “Cancel”
• Lister and Compare by content: Auto-detect UTF-8 files by their content

I came across two very nice, easy and simple to install and manage Forum scripts based for PHP/MySQL:
Vanilla
PunBB

Here is a nice example of customizing PunBB at the Mint forums:
