Hi,
On behalf of the Howl developers, I'm happy to announce the 0.3 release
of the Howl editor!
If you haven't heard about the Howl editor before, it's a general
purpose, text oriented editor that aims to be both light-weight and
fully customizable. It's built on top of the LuaJIT runtime, and can be
extended in either Lua or Moonscript. It's developed under Linux, and
features an interface similar to that of Emacs and Vim.
0.3 comes with the ability to easily launch external commands from
within the editor, vastly improved search and replace commands featuring
interactive previews, file previews for opening project files, and much
more. The full release announcement, with highlights and the full
changelog since 0.2.1, is available here:

For LuaJIT users it might be of interest to know that it also uses the FFI
extensively, e.g. it contains internal bindings for interfacing with everything
needed from the stack of g* libraries, such as Gtk, Glib, etc.
Cheers,
Nils
