Yzis Milestone 3 Released
=========================

   The Yzis [http://www.yzis.org/] team is glad to announce the
Milestone 3 release of Yzis, the fast moving vi-compatible editor from
the authors of kvim. A lot has happened since the M2 release in August
2004: many bugfixes and new features have been added, getting us closer
to the full vim feature set. Check for yourself on the screenshots
[http://www.yzis.org/screenshots/].

     Yzis is developed uses modern technologies to move at a rapid pace:
object oriented programming, lua scripting, syntax highlighting files in
xml and unit testing.

     The core of Yzis is a reusable vi engine, which can be embedded as
an editor. Frontends are provided for ncurses, a standalone KDE
appliction and the KDE component system KParts.

     Yzis can be embedded directly into KDevelop and Quanta. Patches are
available to embed it as the KMail composer
[http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59481] and KHTML form editor
 [http://dev.inzenet.org/~panard/others]
     Yzis is already usable as a day to day editor. If your favourite
vim feature or command is not supported yet, please drop us a note.  We
will be happy to add it.

     The next milestone release is planned
[http://www.yzis.org/schedule] for summer 2005 and should be the last
release before the stable 1.0. The first stable version should be
released at some point after KDE 4.
