== History ==

Before 7 August 2008 the source code was kept in a different SVN repository under various names. There was no easy way to transfer it so I started this repository from scratch. That pre-history can be found here:

 `http://svn1.hostlocal.com/szabgab/trunk/Wx-Tutorial -r 941`

 `http://svn1.hostlocal.com/szabgab/trunk/App-Editor -r 1080`

The [http://padre.perlide.org/about.html About] page has links to related blog posts from before Padre was released.

[http://padre.perlide.org/trac/wiki/Release_History Release History]

Padre is written in Perl 5 using [http://padre.perlide.org/trac/wiki/wxWidgets wxWidgets]
