Question

Release - August 25, 2012
"Did You See The Words?"

Answer 1

Howdy hey hello. Included in the release today are a lot of tasty treats that we've been meaning to get to for a while now. Some are focused on performance, and some are new features.

Changes:
- The unseen question count (on the chat tabs) will now track the number of questions since you were last online. i.e., If you log off, next time you log back on you will see the number of questions posted since you logged off.
- Text tool in drawings. Awww yeahh
- Code block tags (see below)
- Some fixes to polish up realtime changes. This fixes some issues on the profile page.
- Some template reorganization which should hopefully result in quicker load times.

Answer 2

Code blocks are best explained by @farmdawgnation, the man behind the magic.

```
\` single line code surrounded by single ticks \`

\`\`\`syntax
code goes here
\`\`\`
```

for example:
```javascript
alert("i am a booyan!")
```

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

```javascript

Answer 6

Indeed. This is going to be useful for the computer science group. We support a handful of languages. HTML, JavaScript, XML, C, C++, Scala, Java, CoffeeScript, (I think) ObjectiveC, and maybe a few others. If there's demand for a language we don't support and the library we use has the ability to do it, we might roll it in as well.

Answer 7

Oh wow :D Awesome stuff

Answer 8

You can also, now provide a language and the library will try to guess. But don't be mad when it's wrong. :P

Answer 9

* not provide

Answer 10

I was wondering, why not you guys add the "resizing" thing with this drawing attachment.
Like let's say if we want to write simple short equationI've showed the equation, but the extra space is too much which is of no use.

If we shorten this out, it will look alot nicer.
Is this possible?
