What's new in Textastic 3.0?
Major new features:
- Re-implemented the code editor and syntax highlighting engine from the ground up. The new engine is compatible with TextMate syntax definitions and themes.
- You can choose from many popular themes
- New symbol list shows symbols in the current file (for example function and class names, html ids, markdown headlines...)
- The new syntax highlighter supports nested syntaxes (CSS in HTML in a PHP file)
- Markdown syntax highlighting
- You can now use your own custom syntax definitions and themes (this is explained in the manual)
- You can now bring up a list of recently opened files by tapping on the file name. This allows to quickly switch between several files. There's also a button that allows you to close the currently open file.
- Full support for Japanese text and other wide characters
NOTE: Because of a change that was necessary in this version, you'll have to re-enter all passwords for your connections after you install the update. Sorry for that.
Other changes:
- Added modification time in file listings
- Added a redo button
- Added more character encodings
- New "Copy All" command to copy the contents of the current file
- CSS styles in Markdown are now used for preview
- When you do a quick file transfer, you can disable the overwrite confirmation prompt. You can also re-enable the confirmation in the app's settings screen.
- Row of additional keys is now shown in Find/Replace
- TextExpander support in Find/Replace
- If you manually select a syntax definition for a file, this is used as the default for all files with the file's extension (this helps with .h files, which can be C++, C or Objective-C)
Connections:
- Added ipv6 support for (S)FTP connections
- Fixed some WebDAV issues
- WebDAV: support for self-signed ssl certificates
- FTPS/FTPES: "SSL Mode": you can now require SSL only for the control connection or for all communication
- FTP: empty files (0 bytes) can now be downloaded
- FTP: You can now set the maximum amount of concurrent connections for FTP connections

Looks fantastic, Alexander! I'm really looking forward to using this with a few TextMate definitions...I guess you'll be updating the documentation on how to do this soon?
;)

Actually, it's already in the manual at http://www.textasticapp.com/v3/manual/lessons/How_can_I_add_my_own_syntax_definitions_and_themes.html

Beautiful app, bought it today (version 3.2)
I'm wondering if the 0 bytes problem is really solved. Textastic keeps crashing on me when I try to download a whole source tree using SFTP (SSH). It's not a massive tree, say 300 folders, 2000 small files, but it just keep crashing (see error message below). I'm able to create the same SFTP/SSH connection with GoodReader and it has no problem downloading the whole tree file by file, so I guess the server itself is fine.
Here is the error message; there *are* 0 bytes file there, usually named 'empty', a common occurrence in SVN source trees, could it still be an issue?:
THANKS
