History of TeXstudio
TeXstudio was forked from TeXMaker in 2008 as TeXMakerX.[6] Changes in the fork were mainly in the editing area with code folding, syntax highlight, text selection by column, and multiple text selections.[7] The project was initially named TeXmakerX, starting off as a small set of extensions to TeXmaker with a possibility that the additions could be merged back into the original project.
The first release of TexMakerX was released on February 2009 on Sourceforge.[8] Collaborating on the Sourceforge community web site reflected a preference different from the original TeXMaker development community, who maintain an independent hosting site.[9]
In August 2010, concerns were raised about potential confusion between the newer TeXMakerX project on Sourceforge, and the older TeXMaker project at xm1math.net.[10] In June 2011, the project was renamed as TeXstudio.[11]
The TeXstudio community acknowledges that "TeXstudio originates from Texmaker", but "significant changes in features and the code base have made it to a fully independent program".[12]
