WinEdt 5.4

This is a (stable) beta build of WinEdt 5.4. intended for users who would like to test new features and fixes.

UPGRADING: If you already have WinEdt 5.3 installed make sure to execute the menu command Options -> Configuration Backup. Prior to installing this build you are also advised to create a backup of your current WinEdt Root folder (and if you created a user profile WinEdt's application data folder) just in case if you encounter any problems and you want to restore your previous version.

INSTALLING: Close any running instance of WinEdt. Download winedt54.exe and double-click on it. This is a self installing archive. When installation is complete the new WinEdt will start and present you with a readme file (Install.txt). Read the information and proceed accordingly.

Major new features in WinEdt 5.4:
