 <h1>Orion 2.0 M1 - New and Noteworthy</h1>
 <p>Here are some of the more noteworthy things available in milestone build M1
   (December 7, 2012) which is now available for <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/" target="_top">download</a>.

   <tr id="orion-node-prototype">
     <td class="title">Prototype node-based Orion server</td>
     <td class="content">
       Work is well underway to create a simple Orion server running on node.js. The small footprint
       of this server makes it suitable for embedded devices and potentionally very large scale cloud scenarios.
       Having all the client and server tools written in the same language also raises some new possibilities and
       makes the Orion architecture very flexible. This server is not yet ready for prime time, but you can check out
       or fork the code on <a href="https://github.com/mamacdon/orionode">GitHub</a>.

   </tr>

   <tr id="search-type">
     <td class="title">Narrow search on file type</td>
     <td class="content">
       You can now narrow down a global search based on file type. Open the drop down menu
       in the search bar, and select a file type from the list. You can search on file type only,
       or a combination of file type and search keyword.

   <tr id="editor-regex">
     <td class="title">Search and replace capture groups with regular expressions</td>
     <td class="content">
       When doing search and replace in the Orion editor, you can now use JavaScript-style regular expression syntax to indicate
       capture groups in the replacement text. For example, to remove the id from an HTML table row or cell, search for
       &quot;&lt;(td|tr)( id=".*")&gt;&quot; and replace with &quot;&lt;$1&gt;&quot;.

     <td class="content">
       You can now drag files and directories directly from your desktop into Orion. This
       feature is fully supported only on Chrome. On Firefox you can drag individual files from
       your desktop, but not folders. If you're on Internet Explorer you can use <b>Import local file</b>
       from the <b>Actions</b> menu. We are investigating support for drag and drop on
       Internet Explorer 10.
