Recent improvements in PHPUnit-support
Ignored folders? Sure!
Today, I would like to introduce you a very nice feature that many (really many) of you wanted to see and use. In the development version of NetBeans, one can ignore project's folders - what does it mean? It means that one can specify folders that are not visible in the UI but mainly, they are not scanned and indexed (example of such folder could be a directory with generated documentation etc.). Have a look at Project Properties dialog:

Please notice that due to bug 168460, IDE must be restarted.
That's all for today, as always, please test it and report all the issues or enhancements you find in NetBeans IssueZilla (component php, subcomponent project).
Minor improvements in FTP/SFTP
Today, I'm going to write a very short blog post about 2 minor improvements in FTP/SFTP support in NetBeans.
The first improvement is providing detailed information about the file transfer progress (uploading as well as downloading) and we hope that many our users will find it useful. The information is based on file size so it should be quite accurate.

The other improvement is more UI enhancement but again, we hope that it will be useful as well.

As I promised, this blog post was very short but please, do not forget to test it and report all the issues or enhancements you find in NetBeans IssueZilla (component php, subcomponent ftp support).
