Hot on the heels of a rather brilliant update to CandyBar, developers par excellence Panic have updated their all-in-one-window web development application Coda to version 1.1. As the release notes show, there are more little updates for version 1.1 than you can shake a (fairly sizable) stick at, including a tonne of Leopard-y goodness. One such change is the application going from the original (in-house developed, and much fabled) toolbar to the default Leopard GUI, meaning it's now customizable - a minute difference from a user standpoint, but kudos to the folks at Panic for biting the bullet and moving back from their bespoke design.There's plenty more for web development gurus to get their hands on in this free update, which is available from the Panic website, or via the in-application updater.

The reason they moved back to the default OS X toolbar was because Apple changed it. Many of the changes actually mirrored what Panic had done with the previous Coda version.
Therefore, it would make sense to use he "inhouse" toolbar now that it reflected what Panic wanted it to look like from the Coda "getgo."

Now I know where why I already was familiar with this tabby menu system.

I'm a big Coda supporter and I'd love to see them add an API that would allow anyone to write a book and have it integrate with the application. This could lead to them opening a Coda Bookstore on the Panic website and allow budding authors to pen their own books.

You must not be using Coda. Coda has books directly integrated with the application. However, the books are solely controlled by the Coda development team. I'd like to see them make this extensible and allow authors to sell their "Coda-fied" books online via Panic's store.

Yes! I have asked them for similar. The idea of not being able to bring in more books is bothersome and for a while it prevented me from using the tool - but eventually I gave in and purchased it :)

Great! I just wish they'd add the ability to search across all the files on a site, like you can in TextMate. :(

Anyone got a screenshot of 1.1 on leopard? I wanna see how the native leopard toolbar looks, and I'm not on leopard.
Does 1.1 on Tiger still use a custom toolbar, or does that default to the native (and fugly) tiger unified toolbar?

Well it looks like it's finally got code completion as you type...this may finally be the deal breaker for me to switch from Dreamweaver!

very tempting, since I was looking to upgrade my dreamweaver and Coda is 1/3 the price.
It's even $10 off since I own Transmit.
I'm not a web design expert, but I did build and manage my own website. Is Coda easier/nicer to use?

If you like coding by hand, it's great. If you like making webpages with WYSIWYG editors you're better off with DreamWeaver.

thanks. there is a free demo, so I will try Coda out, but I definitely rely on WYSIWYG.

I LOVE Coda but could just could do with a couple of extra features to have it replace my current coding software:
Global find and replace
Collapsible lines
'Save all' and 'Close all'
