I’ve pushed a good set of fixes and changes to Github so if you’re a bleeding edge type and don’t mind the occasional pebble in your shoe, you can test along with me. Hopefully there will be few surprises and an official release will go out next week (which is what you should wait for if you aren’t comfortable opening up Sublime Text and changing the plugs and oil).
Completion Improvements
Now only files which have their syntax set to Corona SDK Lua are considered to be Corona Lua files
Add support for corona_completions_strip_white_space preference to strip whitespace from completions
Fix doubling of prefixes when doing completion under certain circumstances
Add appropriate symbols to the word terminators list
Change the way periods are handled so that the ST word_separators preference is not changed (logic is now based on the more appropriate auto_complete_triggers preference). Changes are reverted when the buffer is closed
Fixed an annoying regex error that would happen occasionally
Syntax Improvements
Fixed the way functions are parsed so that all 3 kinds are recognized correctly (this affects not only the coloring of the code but also the Function Navigator )
Added highlighting for composer
Build Panel Fix
Previously the Build Panel would be cleared if you so much as glanced at it, now it retains its content for much longer. It might even retain its content between sessions if there’s any demand for that
Let me know about any rough edges or outright bugs you find.
Many thanks to personalnadir who contributed lots of code and ideas to this release.
I use Sublime Text 3 except when I have to test Corona Editor with the older version.
I find it’s faster and actually has fewer issues than the older version because there are things they have fixed in 3 that they aren’t going to address in 2 (though they are mostly very obscure things relating to packages rather than mainline features).
The big change was that using the menu to Show or Hide the Build Panel no longer clears it. For me, each time I do a Cmd+F10 or a Build, the panel is cleared so only one session’s output is ever in it.
Which version of Sublime are you running and on what OS?
I might be wrong - but I suspect jstrahan means when he Reloads simulator (from within simulator) he would like the console to reload as well. Would you agree jstrahan?
I have sublime 3 & Mac os10.9 - console clears as soon as I click Corona Editor in sublime.
If that is not what you meant - then I will step in and say it would be very neat if console cleared every time simulator reloaded!
I agree with kreso and jsrahan, please can we keep the contents of the console UNLESS the simulator is restarted.
Since discovering Corona editor & Sublime I haven’t used anything else - it’s fast and it does what I want and need - great work Perry! It was only the clearing of the console that was a problem :)

Is official release available through package control, or should we get it some other way?
When it’s ready, the official release will happen via Package Control.
I’ve been busy with some other things but I really hope to get the release out soon (I have a couple of debugger issues to address first). If you are comfortable with setting up Package Control to access Github directly, you can get the latest from there but I’m being deliberately vague about how to do that as we don’t want to actively support that mode of access.
