Updated version of the iRule Editor Posted

Just a heads up that I've just uploaded a new version of the iRule Editor. The major feature added in this release is support for Administrative Partitions. Look for the Partition menu in the File menu to allow for switching of active partitions while connected to the BIG-IP. Please post any issues you find in the iRule Editor Forum.

 

 

You should see this as an available update next time you start the editor. If not, you can manually install the update here Click here

 

 

Enjoy!

    Weird, the auto-update stuff didn't work, and even grabbing the installer and running it didn't seem to work. I had to completely uninstall it and then reinstall for the update to happen.

     

     

    Has the source distribution been updated yet? I grabbed the copy that's currently there and it looks like it's exactly the same as the older source. I have auto-indenting working (I thought I sent you the code for that, but I might not have. Did you get it?) and I've gotten too used to it to go back. I could throw together a patch of the new codebase, but it doesn't look like the source distro has been updated yet.

    I could have sworn I got all of your code edits merged. I have not updated the sources on DevCentral yet as I was waiting for a bit of feedback before doing so.

     

     

    Hang on for another day or so and I'll get it all tested out and figure out why the auto-update isn't working. I'll then post when I get the sources up on the website.

    If you want I can send you the latest changes I have, in case it didn't get through for some reason last time, or I can reapply them once you've updated the source distro and then send that off. Let me know.

    I found your updates and for some reason they didn't get merged into my final build. I've got your fixes merged (as well as a new dialog to manage the indention settings). Look at the View menu for the new indention settings dialog.

     

     

    The auto-install should now be working and I've also updated the sources with the latest code.

     

     

    Thanks again for your awesome feedback and contributions!

    The current code for the iRule Editor is written in C/.NET. I have not tried to port it to Mono to run under linux, but the source is freely available if you wish to give it a shot. There are some dependent libraries that I'm using that may make running under Mono a no-go, but I just haven't looked into it. So, at this point, support from our end is that it's a windows binary running under your favorite flavor of windows. We've had requests for Mac ports as well, but there just haven't been enough requests to warrant the time required to rewrite for those platforms.

     

     

    If you do have the time to try to get the code running under Mono, please let me know and I'll post the patched sources as well as binaries on DevCentral.
