The latest installation instructions for Texstudio

Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, TeXstudio is an open-source integrated writing environment for creating LaTeX documents. Among others, it has syntax highlighting features, an integrated viewer, reference checking, completion for references and bibliography entries, access to over 1000 mathematical symbols easy and a feature for performing copy/paste/insert new table columns operations with a single click. The latest version available is TeXstudio 2.9.0, which has been released a while ago, coming with the below changes:

link overlays for urls
close editor tab by pressing middle mouse button
more standard shortcuts (in particular for OS X)
support optional filename argument in txs:///view-pdf-internal
add “expand/collapse all documents” to context menu of structure
add tabulary support
open correct log file if output filenames are changed due to “%& -job-name=targetfile” (note: changed pdf filename not yet supported)
user-defined icons are now portable: if possible icon paths are stored relative to settings dir or application dir
windowed pdf viewer now supports –no-focus argument
improved detection of label name for “Insert \ref to Next Label”
improved context detection for preview (multi-line math, cursor inside multi-char delimiter)
improved search for texdoc location
improved log parsing including support for LaTeX3 warnings and errors
resize with soft line warp: keep vertical cursor position constant
support .tikz files (treated like .tex files)
new options: Advanced Editor -> Structure Panel (“Show elements in comments”, “Mark structure elements beyond \end{document}” and “Mark structure elements in appendix”)
new option: mouse wheel zoom also controls the log editor (patch by Paulo Silva)
new option: encoding of bib files
new options: some GUI elements are now scalable (for better hi-res display support)
some cleanup in the options dialog

fix: maintain expansion of the Structure View in more situations
fix: caseSensistivity for global search
fix: sync scrolling in enlarged embedded pdf viewer
fix: interpretation of % !BIB program = biber
fix: fit to text width in multi-page grid of pdf viewer
fix: unsaved documents could create false entries when saving a session
fix: forgotten editor shortcuts
fix: linecache on retina display
fix: on OS X: the dictionary default path is relative to app
fix: compilation on freebsd (patch by Abilio)
fix: display user command icon (patch by Paulo Silva)
fix: svn auto-checkin was not executed after some types of save operations
fix: link-click on bib file also searches in additionalBibPaths
fix: some sections were incorrectly marked as “beyond end of document”
fix: crash when file is removed and silent reload is activated
fix: failed “! TeX encoding” detection due to bug in line end detection
fix: ignore hyph_*.dic files when looking for hunspell dictionaries
fix: trigger ?load-file for files opened with the session at startup
fix: update encoding in status bar when a % !TeX encoding = … magic comment is typed
fix: issue with opening some template zip files by updating QuaZip to 0.7.1
fix: parsing of synctex file with nested sheets
fix: crash when undoing insertion of magic comments
fix: make symbol grid visible on dark-themed desktops
fix: handle multiple existing assignments when checking the change of a shortcut
fix: broken folding of %BEGIN_FOLD if the special math-close-comment %$ was used in the folded area
fix: incorrect wrapping if chinese punctuation characters are on the line
completer is disabled in overwrite mode (because it does not work correctly while overwriting)
fix: incorrect behavior of input method with forward selections
fix: texdoc usage on OS X
fix: rendering of 1×1 non-continouos pdf page on retina display
fix: some missing symbols
removed: case insensitive completion (due to complexity/performance issues)
