"notes": "2026 January release (5.0) of Phoenix Code is now available for download at [phcode.io](https://phcode.io).\r\n\r\nOur biggest update yet - introducing `Phoenix Pro` and major upgrades like `Live Preview Edit`, `Emmet`, `Tab Bar`, and `Custom Snippets`.\r\n\r\n## Phoenix Pro - A Sustainable Future\r\n\r\nPhoenix Code has been free and open source from day one - and **everything you’ve used so far will remain free forever**, including **Live Preview**.\r\n\r\nWe’re a small, full-time indie team with **no VC backing**, building Phoenix Code because we believe the web deserves a code editor that’s genuinely **simple and joyful to use**. We tried to sustain development through community donations ([Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/phoenix-ide)), but over the last few years it hasn’t been enough to support full-time work - and we reached a hard choice: slow down drastically, or find a sustainable path that keeps Phoenix Code healthy.\r\n\r\nSo we’re introducing **Phoenix Pro** as an *optional* way to support Phoenix Code’s future - with **one Pro feature: Live Preview Edit**.\r\nIf Phoenix Code has helped you, Phoenix Pro is a way to help keep the project moving forward.\r\n\r\nStudents & educators get **Phoenix Pro for Education** at no cost, because we want classrooms to have easy access to modern, easy-to-use development tooling. [Read More](https://docs.phcode.dev/docs/phoenix-pro-school)\r\n\r\n## Live Preview Edit\r\n\r\n*Included with Phoenix Pro.*\r\n\r\n**Live Preview Edit** lets you make changes directly on your page — and updates your source code instantly.\r\n\r\nEdit text, links, and images. Drag & drop to rearrange elements. Cut, copy, paste, and use measurement tools to place things precisely.\r\n\r\nLearn more: [Live Preview Edit](https://docs.phcode.dev/docs/Pro%20Features/live-preview-edit), [Image Gallery](https://docs.phcode.dev/docs/Pro%20Features/image-gallery), [Measurements](https://docs.phcode.dev/docs/Pro%20Features/measurements).\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## Emmet\r\n\r\n**Emmet** one of our most requested features is finally here.\r\n\r\nWrite Emmet abbreviations and Phoenix Code shows you hints. Select a hint to expand it into a full code snippet. Code faster than ever. [Read More](https://docs.phcode.dev/docs/Features/emmet)\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## Tab Bar\r\n\r\nTab Bar is here. View all your open files at the top of the editor and switch between them instantly.\r\n\r\nChoose what works for you - Tab Bar, Working Files, or both at the same time. [Read More](https://docs.phcode.dev/docs/file-management#tab-bar)\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## Custom Snippets\r\n\r\nDefine your own code hints with Custom Snippets.\r\n\r\nCreate hints that expand into full code blocks. You can also add cursor positions so Phoenix Code places your cursor exactly where you need it after expansion. [Read More](https://docs.phcode.dev/docs/Features/custom-snippets)\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## Collapse Folders\r\n\r\nAfter working for some time, your project structure gets messy with lots of open and nested directories.\r\n\r\nBut no worries now. Phoenix Code supports Collapse All Folders, which lets you reset your view by collapsing all expanded folders to their root level in one click. [Read More](https://docs.phcode.dev/docs/file-management#collapse-all-folders)\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## Notable changes and fixes\r\n\r\n- Improved Live Preview to support internal stylesheets and SVGs better than before.\r\n- Smarter color hints. Phoenix Code prioritizes your previously used colors. [Read More](https://docs.phcode.dev/docs/editing-colors#color-hints)\r\n- Git markers now appear in the scrollbar, making it easier to locate changes in a file.\r\n- Improved Git so that it doesn't show stale project status.\r\n- Reduced the number of popups shown when first installing Phoenix.\r\n- Fixed an issue where macOS/iOS and browser autocorrect or smart keyboards altered filenames during renames.\r\n- Added a dialog to notify users when they have security compromised extensions installed.\r\n- Slowed down the Quick View popup on hover as it was interfering with user workflows.\r\n- Fixed ghost image appearing in Safari when dragging from CodeMirror.\r\n- Long names in Working Files are now truncated for better readability.\r\n- Added Horizontal Scroll support. Use Shift + mouse scroll.\r\n\r\n## All changes\r\n\r\nPlease see [this link](https://github.com/phcode-dev/phoenix/commits/main/?since=2025-01-30&until=2026-01-18) for a full list of changes\r\nin GitHub.\r\n\r\n## A Request from the Phoenix Team:\r\n\r\n- **Share your feedback:** https://github.com/orgs/phcode-dev/discussions\r\n- **Spread the word** about Phoenix to friends and colleagues.\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,\r\n\r\nThe Phoenix Team\r\n",

"notes": "2026 May release (5.1) of Phoenix Code is now available for download at [phcode.io](https://phcode.io). \r\n\r\nOur biggest update yet - this release brings AI into the editor with [Claude Code](#try-ideas-build-pages-and-fix-issues-with-ai), a new [Design Mode](#design-mode) for visual editing, a rich [Markdown editor](#rich-markdown-editor), a built-in [terminal](#built-in-terminal), responsive [device previews](#view-your-page-at-any-device-size), a [rebuilt Linux app](#linux), and a fresh new look with the [Phoenix Neo](#phoenix-neo-themes) themes.\r\n\r\n\r\n## [Try ideas, build pages, and fix issues with AI](https://docs.phcode.dev/app-links/ai-chat)\r\n\r\nPhoenix Code now includes an AI assistant powered by Claude Code - one that sees what you see, not just your code. Try ideas, make changes, and refine your work just by chatting.\r\n\r\nAttach files or capture a screenshot to show the AI exactly what you mean. It stays out of your way until you need it, so you can stay focused on the creative work.\r\n\r\n> This feature is available only in desktop apps.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## [Design Mode](https://docs.phcode.dev/app-links/design-mode)\r\n\r\nFocus fully on your content while your code stays out of the way. Work side by side with AI and Live Preview. Edit content visually - whether you’re building web pages or Markdown documents.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## [Rich Markdown Editor](https://docs.phcode.dev/app-links/markdown-editor)\r\n\r\nEdit Markdown like a document in Live Preview. Now it’s easy to add images - just paste or pick one from your device, like in Google Docs or Word.\r\n\r\nFormat text, edit tables, and add diagrams with real-time sync between code and live preview. An easier way to create Markdown files that you can share anywhere.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## [Live Preview Edit Upgrades](https://docs.phcode.dev/app-links/live-preview-edit)\r\n\r\nFormat text with bold, italic, and more. Add elements and update tags, classes, and attributes - all directly in Live Preview.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## [View your page at any device size](https://docs.phcode.dev/app-links/resize-ruler)\r\n\r\nSwitch between popular phones, tablets, and desktops with a single click to see how your page looks at that size. \r\nPhoenix Code also picks up your CSS `@media` breakpoints so you can jump straight to where your layout switches.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## [Built-in Terminal](https://docs.phcode.dev/app-links/terminal)\r\n\r\nRun commands right next to your code in the new built-in terminal. \r\nPhoenix Code allows you to open multiple terminal tabs with your preferred shell.\r\n\r\n> This feature is available only in desktop apps.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## [All Your Tools, One Place](https://docs.phcode.dev/app-links/git)\r\n\r\nA new tools drawer brings Git, Terminal, Problems, and more into one place. Switch between them instantly without panels getting in your way.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n## New Linux Platform\r\n\r\nPhoenix Code for Linux has been rebuilt from the ground up.\r\n\r\nThe previous Linux app was harder to install and didn’t match the experience we wanted to deliver. We heard that feedback loud and clear. This release is powered by a brand-new Linux platform, bringing faster performance, easier installation, and a desktop experience that now stands alongside Windows and macOS.\r\n\r\n## [Phoenix Neo Themes](https://docs.phcode.dev/app-links/themes)\r\n\r\nMeet Phoenix Dark Neo and Phoenix Light Neo - the redesigned default themes with a cleaner, modernized look.\r\n\r\n> Switch between them anytime from `View > Themes...`.\r\n\r\n\r\n",
