On November 4, 2014, Adobe announced the first (1.0) release of Brackets. The update introduced new features such as custom shortcut key combinations and more accurate JavaScript hinting. Brackets has a major focus on development in JavaScript-enabled, CSS and HTML. With release of version 1.0, Adobe announced a feature that extracts design information from a PSD file for convenience of coding in CSS.[7] As of June 28, 2016, the feature is officially discontinued, due to low usage.[8] However, Extract is still available via Photoshop and Dreamweaver, both of which are part of their paid service, Adobe Creative Cloud.[9] In March 2021, Adobe announced it would end their support for Brackets on September 1, 2021.
The Brackets project was subsequently transferred to become a community-owned and driven project. The latest version release of Brackets is 2.2.1.[10]
