Scratchpad 0.3.0 released

Scratchpad is a lightweight but useful spatial text editor. This is the first release after the port to Vala, which means that Scratchpad runs natively now and does not require Mono anymore. Another new feature is tag-based replacing, as demonstrated in this screencast:

Vala is a new programming language for the GNOME platform, which offers a C#-like syntax and modern language features but compiles directly to C code and is closely tight to GLib. More information can be found at: http://vala.paldo.org/
