The snapshot builds for all platforms are now updated and
include two big new features created as part of the Google
Summer of Code project.

1. Tabbed editing, see earlier post at
   http://forum.openscad.org/Multiple-file-editing-in-OpenSCAD-td27091.html

2a) Auto-Complete and Call-Tips for built-in modules and
functions. This can be configured and also disabled via
Preferences.

2b) Templates/Code snippets can be inserted using CTRL+INS.
There are a couple of example templates included, it's
possible to add more by putting template files into the
user folder. It would be great to collect more of those
to be included later in a release.

The MacOS snapshot is the first one coming from CircleCI.
They kindly allow 500h of MacOS CPU time per month. That's
not enough to just always build as for Windows and Linux
but it should be plenty to build snapshots once a week.
We'll have to see how that goes.

So please let me know if there's any issues with the MacOS
snapshots.

ciao,
Torsten.

Template feature sounds interesting....please forgive my ignorance but how
could I invoke this on a MacBook and is there any forum article or something
to explain how what this is and how to use it?  I took a peek at the user
folder files but that didn't really shed much light.

Thanks
