Hi, my name is Kai I'm, strong, I'm, the product manager for the editor group in the create stage of the DevOps lifecycle and I'm here to talk about the 1210 gitlab release and what we've got going on in the editor group. So, if you've watched the other kicked off videos for the editor group, you know for the past several milestones: we've really been focused hard on version control for snippets and that continues into 1210 expectation is we're gonna get this released in 13, so be on the lookout for that.

A

But in 1210 we've got a number of issues that are kind of the final things that we're trying to do here, and so we've got some QA testing that we need to cover. We've got some migration testing that we need to cover as part of moving the data here.

A

So there's there's a lot of testing that'll be going in to 1210 to make sure that we introduce this in a way in 13 that doesn't reduce a lot of problems, so excited about the work that we've been doing here in the the progress that we're continuing to make really excited to get this across the line, so 13 mostly will get to show us some of what that might look like next up for the editor group in terms of importance is we're continuing along the theme of syntax highlighting in the web ie.

A

So in the web, IDE we've introduced the dark, syntax highlighting game in twelve, seven, actually in twelve eight and then the twelve nine. We we reworked the white team, the default theme that we have to be more in line in both repository view and in the web. Ide that way, the syntax highlighting mash a little better and so in twelve ten we're going to be working on introducing mono guy as a another preference here we'll stick with the same pattern that we've been doing where we've only been doing the code area here.

A

But this look at users who are prefer this index highlighting preference, a better experience inside the what like EE and then the last thing that I want to talk about for the editor group kind of takes this. The syntax highlighting work that we've been doing to the next level- and this is a dart team for the entirety of the web, ie and so I've got a couple screenshots in this issue.

A

I'll put the issue link down below in the video, but what I thought I would do is walk you through actually kind of all of these designs, and so this is actually really interesting. It's been an interesting design process and hopefully we'll get a blog post out about this, but this is sort of what the web idea is. Gonna look like across the board, and so this will be our new, empty state, you'll notice that everything is dark. The new tabs over here we've had to rework button States and other things to make this possible.

A

Icons have had to be inverted, and so you'll see that this is kind of a empty State. This is what it might look like when you're working on a file once you're able to commit these buttons start to pop back into the UI in a really physical way. So that's it's gonna, look really great when this is done. The review tab. Similarly, we've got.

A

You know same UI that we're used to dealing with just dark across the board and so you'll see all that and then let me show you this last section down here: won't go kind of this one this one.

A

This will show you sort of what we're doing with some of the tooltips and other things that we have will press the board in here so from the issue you can actually get to these and scroll through each of these, but you'll notice, even the tooltips in here and they're, staying kind of the black that we use today. It's working well in these designs.

A

This tooltip is staying white. Some of these are shared components across all of gillis. We've had to think about how we're how we're dealing with that too. So I'm really excited we're, starting on this in 1210.

A

We don't think we'll release it in 1210. We think we'll get most of the work done in 1210 and then it'll release ticket live calm really in the start, 13 and it'll go out and self manage releases in the packaged version in 13. So I'm really excited about that. But that's what we've got going on in the editor group.

A

You know, let us know what you think. I'll link these issues down below and thanks for watching.
