+ Images used in GTK+ version +

+ + Icons Copyright(C) 1998 by Dean S. Jones
+

+ Release 1.71 +

+ Released on 21 August 2006. +
+ On GTK+ drag and drop defaults to move rather than copy. +
+ Double click notification includes line and position. +
+ VB lexer bugs fixed for preprocessor directive below a comment or some other states and + to use string not closed style back to the starting quote when there are internal doubled quotes. +
+ C++ lexer allows identifiers to contain '$' and non-ASCII characters such as UTF-8. + The '$' character can be disallowed with lexer.cpp.allow.dollars=0. +
+ Perl lexer allows UTF-8 identifiers and has some other small improvements. +
+ SciTE's $(CurrentWord) uses word.characters.<filepattern> to define the word + rather than a hardcoded list of word characters. +
+ SciTE Export as HTML adds encoding information for UTF-8 file and fixes DOCTYPE. +
+ SciTE session and .recent files default to the user properties directory rather than global + properties directory. +
+ Left and right scroll events handled correctly on GTK+ and horizontal scroll bar has more sensible + distances for page and arrow clicks. +
+ SciTE on GTK+ tab bar fixed to work on recent versions of GTK+. +
+ On GTK+, if the approximate character set conversion is unavailable, a second attempt is made + without approximations. This may allow keyboard input and paste to work on older systems. +
+ SciTE on GTK+ can redefine the Insert key. +
+ SciTE scripting interface bug fixed where some string properties could not be changed. +

+ Release 1.70 +

+ Released on 20 June 2006. +
+ On GTK+, character set conversion is performed using an option that allows approximate conversions rather + than failures when a character can not be converted. This may lead to similar characters being inserted or + when no similar character is available a '?' may be inserted. +
+ On GTK+, the internationalised IM (Input Method) feature is used for all typed input for all character sets. +
+ Scintilla has new margin types SC_MARGIN_BACK and SC_MARGIN_FORE that use the default + style's background and foreground colours (normally white and black) as the background to the margin. +
+ Scintilla/GTK+ allows file drops on Windows when drop is of type DROPFILES_DND + as well as text/uri-list. +
+ Code page can only be set to one of the listed valid values. +
+ Text wrapping fixed for cases where insertion was not wide enough to trigger + wrapping before being styled but was after styling. +
+ SciTE find marks are removed before printing or exporting to avoid producing incorrect styles. +

+ Release 1.69 +

+ Released on 29 May 2006. +
+ SciTE supports z-order based buffer switching on Ctrl+Tab. +
+ Translucent support for selection and whole line markers. +
+ SciTE may have per-language abbreviations files. +
+ Support for Spice language. +
+ On GTK+ autocompletion lists are optimised and use correct selection colours. +
+ On GTK+ the URI data type is preferred in drag and drop so that applications + will see files dragged from the shell rather than dragging the text of the file name + into the document. +
+ Increased number of margins to 5. +
+ Basic lexer allows include directive $include: "file name". +
+ SQL lexer no longer bases folding on indentation. +
+ Line ends are transformed when copied to clipboard on + Windows/GTK+2 as well as Windows/GTK+ 1. +
+ Lexing code masks off the indicator bits on the start style before calling the lexer + to avoid confusing the lexer when an application has used an indicator. +
+ SciTE savebefore:yes only saves the file when it has been changed. +
+ SciTE adds output.initial.hide setting to allow setting the size of the output pane + without it showing initially. +
+ SciTE on Windows Go To dialog allows line number with more digits. +
+ Bug in HTML lexer fixed where a segment of PHP could switch scripting language + based on earlier text on that line. +
+ Memory bug fixed when freeing regions on GTK+. + Other minor bugs fixed on GTK+. +
+ Deprecated GTK+ calls in Scintilla replaced with current calls. +
+ Fixed a SciTE bug where closing the final buffer, if read-only, left the text present in an + untitled buffer. +
+ Bug fixed in bash lexer that prevented folding. +
+ Crash fixed in bash lexer when backslash at end of file. +
+ Crash on recent releases of GTK+ 2.x avoided by changing default font from X + core font to Pango font "!Sans". +
+ Fix for SciTE properties files where multiline properties continued over completely blank lines. +
+ Bug fixed in SciTE/GTK+ director interface where more data available than + buffer size. +
+ Minor visual fixes to SciTE splitter on GTK+. +

+ Release 1.68 +

+ Released on 9 March 2006. +
+ Translucent drawing implemented for caret line and box indicators. +
+ Lexer specifically for TCL is much more accurate than reusing C++ lexer. +
+ Support for Inno Setup scripts. +
+ Support for Opal language. +
+ Calltips may use a new style, STYLE_CALLTIP which allows choosing a + different font for calltips. +
+ Python lexer styles comments on decorators. +
+ HTML lexer refined handling of "?>" and "%>" within server + side scripts. +
+ Batch file lexer improved. +
+ Eiffel lexer doesn't treat '.' as a name character. +
+ Lua lexer handles length operator, #, and hex literals. +
+ Properties file lexer has separate style for keys. +
+ PL/SQL folding improved. +
+ SciTE Replace dialog always searches in forwards direction. +
+ SciTE can detect language of file from initial #! line. +
+ SciTE on GTK+ supports output.scroll=2 setting. +
+ SciTE can perform an import a properties file from the command line. +
+ Set of word characters used for regular expression \< and \>. +
+ Bug fixed with SCI_COPYTEXT stopping too early. +
+ Bug fixed with splitting lines so that all lines are split. +
+ SciTE calls OnSwitchFile when closing one buffer causes a switch to another. +
+ SciTE bug fixed where properties were being reevaluated without good reason + after running a macro. +
+ Crash fixed when clearing document with some lines contracted in word wrap mode. +
+ Palette expands as more entries are needed. +
+ SCI_POSITIONFROMPOINT returns more reasonable value when close to + last text on a line. +
+ On Windows, long pieces of text may be drawn in segments if they fail to draw + as a whole. +
+ Bug fixed with bad drawing when some visual changes made inside SCN_UPDATEUI + notification. +
+ SciTE bug fixed with groupundo setting. +

+ Release 1.67 +

+ Released on 17 December 2005. +
+ Scintilla checks the paint region more accurately when seeing if an area is being + repainted. Platform layer implementations may need to change for this to take + effect. This fixes some drawing and styling bugs. Also optimized some parts of + marker code to only redraw the line of the marker rather than whole of the margin. +
+ Quoted identifier style for SQL. SQL folding performed more simply. +
+ Ruby lexer improved to better handle here documents and non-ASCII + characters. +
+ Lua lexer supports long string and block comment syntax from Lua 5.1. +
+ Bash lexer handles here documents better. +
+ JavaScript lexing recognises regular expressions more accurately and includes flag + characters in the regular expression style. This is both in JavaScript files and when + JavaScript is embedded in HTML. +
+ Scintilla API provided to reveal how many style bits are needed for the + current lexer. +
+ Selection duplicate added. +
+ Scintilla API for adding a set of markers to a line. +
+ DBCS encodings work on Windows 9x. +
+ Convention defined for property names to be used by lexers and folders + so they can be automatically discovered and forwarded from containers. +
+ Default bookmark in SciTE changed to a blue sphere image. +
+ SciTE stores the time of last asking for a save separately for each buffer + which fixes bugs with automatic reloading. +
+ On Windows, pasted text has line ends converted to current preference. + GTK+ already did this. +
+ Kid template language better handled by HTML lexer by finishing ASP Python + mode when a ?> is found. +
+ SciTE counts number of characters in a rectangular selection correctly. +
+ 64-bit compatibility improved. One change that may affect user code is that + the notification message header changed to include a pointer-sized id field + to match the current Windows definition. +
+ Empty ranges can no longer be dragged. +
+ Crash fixed when calls made that use layout inside the painted notification. +
+ Bug fixed where Scintilla created pixmap buffers that were too large leading + to failures when many instances used. +
+ SciTE sets the directory of a new file to the directory of the currently + active file. +
+ SciTE allows choosing a code page for the output pane. +
+ SciTE HTML exporter no longer honours monospaced font setting. +
+ Line layout cache in page mode caches the line of the caret. An assertion is + now used to ensure that the layout reentrancy problem that caused this + is easier to find. +
+ Speed optimized for long lines and lines containing many control characters. +
+ Bug fixed in brace matching in DBCS files where byte inside character + is same as brace. +
+ Indent command does not indent empty lines. +
+ SciTE bug fixed for commands that operate on files with empty extensions. +
+ SciTE bug fixed where monospaced option was copied for subsequently opened files. +
+ SciTE on Windows bug fixed in the display of a non-ASCII search string + which can not be found. +
+ Bugs fixed with nested calls displaying a new calltip while one is already + displayed. +
+ Bug fixed when styling PHP strings. +
+ Bug fixed when styling C++ continued preprocessor lines. +
+ SciTE bug fixed where opening file from recently used list reset choice of + language. +
+ SciTE bug fixed when compiled with NO_EXTENSIONS and + closing one file closes the application. +
+ SciTE crash fixed for error messages that look like Lua messages but aren't + in the same order. +
+ Remaining fold box support deprecated. The symbols SC_FOLDLEVELBOXHEADERFLAG, + SC_FOLDLEVELBOXFOOTERFLAG, SC_FOLDLEVELCONTRACTED, + SC_FOLDLEVELUNINDENT, and SC_FOLDFLAG_BOX are deprecated. +

+ Release 1.66 +

+ Released on 26 August 2005. +
+ New, more ambitious Ruby lexer. +
+ SciTE Find in Files dialog has options for matching case and whole words which are + enabled when the internal find command is used. +
+ SciTE output pane can display automatic completion after "$(" typed. + An initial ">" on a line is ignored when Enter pressed. +
+ C++ lexer recognises keywords within line doc comments. It continues styles over line + end characters more consistently so that eolfilled style can be used for preprocessor lines + and line comments. +
+ VB lexer improves handling of file numbers and date literals. +
+ Lua folder handles repeat until, nested comments and nested strings. +
+ POV lexer improves handling of comment lines. +
+ AU3 lexer and folder updated. COMOBJ style added. +
+ Bug fixed with text display on GTK+ with Pango 1.8. +
+ Caret painting avoided when not focused. +
+ SciTE on GTK+ handles file names used to reference properties as case-sensitive. +
+ SciTE on GTK+ Save As and Export commands set the file name field. + On GTK+ the Export commands modify the file name in the same way as on Windows. +
+ Fixed SciTE problem where confirmation was not displaying when closing a file where all + contents had been deleted. +
+ Middle click on SciTE tab now closes correct buffer on Windows when tool bar is visible. +
+ SciTE bugs fixed where files contained in directory that includes '.' character. +
+ SciTE bug fixed where import in user options was reading file from directory of + global options. +
+ SciTE calltip bug fixed where single line calltips had arrow displayed incorrectly. +
+ SciTE folding bug fixed where empty lines were shown for no reason. +
+ Bug fixed where 2 byte per pixel XPM images caused crash although they are still not + displayed. +
+ Autocompletion list size tweaked. +

+ Release 1.65 +

+ Released on 1 August 2005. +
+ FreeBasic support. +
+ SciTE on Windows handles command line arguments + "-" (read standard input into buffer), + "--" (read standard input into output pane) and + "-@" (read file names from standard input and open each). +
+ SciTE includes a simple implementation of Find in Files which is used if no find.command is set. +
+ SciTE can close tabs with a mouse middle click. +
+ SciTE includes a save.all.for.build setting. +
+ Folder for MSSQL. +
+ Batch file lexer understands more of the syntax and the behaviour of built in commands. +
+ Perl lexer handles here docs better; disambiguates barewords, quote-like delimiters, and repetition operators; + handles Pods after __END__; recognises numbers better; and handles some typeglob special variables. +
+ Lisp adds more lexical states. +
+ PHP allows spaces after <<<. +
+ TADS3 has a simpler set of states and recognizes identifiers. +
+ Avenue elseif folds better. +
+ Errorlist lexer treats lines starting with '+++' and '---' as separate + styles from '+' and '-' as they indicate file names in diffs. +
+ SciTE error recogniser handles file paths in extra explanatory lines from MSVC + and in '+++' and '---' lines from diff. +
+ Bugs fixed in SciTE and Scintilla folding behaviour when text pasted before + folded text caused unnecessary + unfolding and cutting text could lead to text being irretrievably hidden. +
+ SciTE on Windows uses correct font for dialogs and better font for tab bar + allowing better localisation +
+ When Windows is used with a secondary monitor before the primary + monitor, autocompletion lists are not forced onto the primary monitor. +
+ Scintilla calltip bug fixed where down arrow setting wrong value in notification + if not in first line. SciTE bug fixed where second arrow only shown on multiple line + calltip and was therefore misinterpreting the notification value. +
+ Lexers will no longer be re-entered recursively during, for example, fold level setting. +
+ Undo of typing in overwrite mode undoes one character at a time rather than requiring a removal + and addition step for each character. +
+ EM_EXSETSEL(0,-1) fixed. +
+ Bug fixed where part of a rectangular selection was not shown as selected. +
+ Autocomplete window size fixed. +

+ Release 1.64 +

+ Smalltalk support. +
+ Rebol support. +
+ Flagship (Clipper / XBase) support. +
+ CSound support. +
+ SQL enhanced to support SQL*Plus. +

+ SciTE adds command equivalents for fold margin mouse actions. +
+ SciTE adds OnUpdateUI to set of events that can be handled by a Lua script. +
+ Properties set in Scintilla can be read. +
+ GTK+ SciTE exit confirmation adds Cancel button. +
+ More accurate lexing of numbers in PHP and Caml. +
+ Perl can fold POD and package sections. POD verbatim section style. + Globbing syntax recognized better. +
+ Context menu moved slightly on GTK+ so that it will be under the mouse and will + stay open if just clicked rather than held. +
+ Rectangular selection paste works the same whichever direction the selection was dragged in. +
+ EncodedFromUTF8 handles -1 length argument as documented. +
+ Undo and redo can cause SCN_MODIFYATTEMPTRO notifications. +
+ Indicators display correctly when they start at the second character on a line. +
+ SciTE Export As HTML uses standards compliant CSS. +
+ SciTE automatic indentation handles keywords for indentation better. +
+ SciTE fold.comment.python property removed as does not work. +
+ Fixed problem with character set conversion when pasting on GTK+. +
+ SciTE default character set changed from ANSI_CHARSET to DEFAULT_CHARSET. +
+ Fixed crash when creating empty autocompletion list. +
+ Autocomplete window size made larger under some conditions to make truncation less common. +
+ Bug fixed where changing case of a selection did not affect initial character of lines + in multi-byte encodings. +
+ Bug fixed where rectangular selection not displayed after Alt+Shift+Click. +

+ Release 1.63 +

+ Released on 4 April 2005. +
+ Autocompletion on Windows changed to use popup window, be faster, + allow choice of maximum width and height, and to highlight only the text of the + selected item rather than both the text and icon if any. +
+ Extra items can be added to the context menu in SciTE. +
+ Character wrap mode in Scintilla helps East Asian languages. +
+ Lexer added for Haskell. +
+ Objective Caml support. +
+ BlitzBasic and PureBasic support. +
+ CSS support updated to handle CSS2. +
+ C++ lexer is more selective about document comment keywords. +
+ AutoIt 3 lexer improved. +
+ Lua lexer styles end of line characters on comment and preprocessor + lines so that the eolfilled style can be applied to them. +
+ NSIS support updated for line continuations, box comments, SectionGroup and + PageEx, and with more up-to-date properties. +
+ Clarion lexer updated to perform folding and have more styles. +
+ SQL lexer gains second set of keywords. +
+ Errorlist lexer recognises Borland Delphi error messages. +
+ Method added for determining number of visual lines occupied by a document + line due to wrapping. +
+ Sticky caret mode does not modify the preferred caret x position when typing + and may be useful for typing columns of text. +
+ Dwell end notification sent when scroll occurs. +
+ On GTK+, Scintilla requisition height is screen height rather than large fixed value. +
+ Case insensitive autocompletion prefers exact case match. +
+ SCI_PARADOWN and SCI_PARAUP treat lines containing only white + space as empty and handle text hidden by folding. +
+ Scintilla on Windows supports WM_PRINTCLIENT although there are some + limitations. +
+ SCN_AUTOCSELECTION notification sent when user selects from autoselection list. +
+ SciTE's standard properties file sets buffers to 10, uses Pango fonts on GTK+ and + has dropped several languages to make the menu fit on screen. +
+ SciTE's encoding cookie detection loosened so that common XML files will load + in UTF-8 if that is their declared encoding. +
+ SciTE on GTK+ changes menus and toolbars to not be detachable unless turned + on with a property. Menus no longer tear off. The toolbar may be set to use the + default theme icons rather than SciTE's set. Changed key for View | End of Line + because of a conflict. Language menu can contain more items. +
+ SciTE on GTK+ 2.x allows the height and width of the file open file chooser to + be set, for the show hidden files check box to be set from an option and for it + to be opened in the directory of the current file explicitly. Enter key works in + save chooser. +
+ Scintilla lexers should no longer see bits in style bytes that are outside the set + they modify so should be able to correctly lex documents where the container + has used indicators. +
+ SciTE no longer asks to save before performing a revert. +
+ SciTE director interface adds a reloadproperties command to reload properties + from files. +
+ Allow build on CYGWIN platform. +
+ Allow use from LccWin compiler. +
+ SCI_COLOURISE for SCLEX_CONTAINER causes a + SCN_STYLENEEDED notification. +
+ Bugs fixed in lexing of HTML/ASP/JScript. +

+ Crashing bug fixed on AMD64. +
+ SciTE crashing bug fixed when position.height or position.width not set. +
+ Crashing bug on GTK+ fixed when setting cursor and window is NULL. +
+ Crashing bug on GTK+ preedit window fixed. +
+ SciTE crashing bug fixed in incremental search on Windows ME. +
+ SciTE on Windows has a optional find and replace dialogs that can search through + all buffers and search within a particular style number. +

+ Release 1.62 +

+ Released on 31 October 2004. +
+ Lexer added for ASN.1. +
+ Lexer added for VHDL. +
+ On Windows, an invisible system caret is used to allow screen readers to determine + where the caret is. The visible caret is still drawn by the painting code. +
+ On GTK+, Scintilla has methods to read the target as UTF-8 and to convert + a string from UTF-8 to the document encoding. This eases integration with + containers that use the UTF-8 encoding which is the API encoding for GTK+ 2. +
+ SciTE on GTK+2 and Windows NT/2000/XP allows search and replace of Unicode text. +
+ SciTE calltips allow setting the characters used to start and end parameter lists and + to separate parameters. +
+ FindColumn method converts a line and column into a position, taking into account + tabs and multi-byte characters. +
+ On Windows, when Scintilla copies text to the clipboard as Unicode, it avoids + adding an ANSI copy as the system will automatically convert as required in + a context-sensitive manner. +
+ SciTE indent.auto setting automatically determines indent.size and use.tabs from + document contents. +
+ SciTE defines a CurrentMessage property that holds the most recently selected + output pane message. +
+ SciTE Lua scripting enhanced with +
- A Lua table called 'buffer' is associated with each buffer and can be used to + maintain buffer-specific state.
- A 'scite' object allows interaction with the application such as opening + files from script.
- Dynamic properties can be reset by assigning nil to a given key in + the props table.
- An 'OnClear' event fires whenever properties and extension scripts are + about to be reloaded.
- On Windows, loadlib is enabled and can be used to access Lua + binary modules / DLLs.
+
+ SciTE Find in Files on Windows can be used in a modeless way and gains a '..' + button to move up to the parent directory. It is also wider so that longer paths + can be seen. +
+ Close buttons added to dialogs in SciTE on Windows. +
+ SciTE on GTK+ 2 has a "hidden files" check box in file open dialog. +
+ SciTE use.monospaced setting removed. More information in the + FAQ. +
+ APDL lexer updated with more lexical classes +
+ AutoIt3 lexer updated. +
+ Ada lexer fixed to support non-ASCII text. +
+ Cpp lexer now only matches exactly three slashes as starting a doc-comment so that + lines of slashes are seen as a normal comment. + Line ending characters are appear in default style on preprocessor and single line + comment lines. +
+ CSS lexer updated to support CSS2 including second set of keywords. +
+ Errorlist lexer now understands Java stack trace lines. +
+ SciTE's handling of HTML Tidy messages jumps to column as well as line indicated. +
+ Lisp lexer allows multiline strings. +
+ Lua lexer treats .. as an operator when between identifiers. +
+ PHP lexer handles 'e' in numerical literals. +
+ PowerBasic lexer updated for macros and optimised. +
+ Properties file folder changed to leave lines before a header at the base level + and thus avoid a vertical line when using connected folding symbols. +
+ GTK+ on Windows version uses Alt for rectangular selection to be compatible with + platform convention. +
+ SciTE abbreviations file moved from system directory to user directory + so each user can have separate abbreviations. +
+ SciTE on GTK+ has improved .desktop file and make install support that may + lead to better integration with system shell. +
+ Disabling of themed background drawing on GTK+ extended to all cases. +
+ SciTE date formatting on Windows performed with the user setting rather than the + system setting. +
+ GTK+ 2 redraw while scrolling fixed. +
+ Recursive property definitions are safer, avoiding expansion when detected. +
+ SciTE thread synchronization for scripts no longer uses HWND_MESSAGE + so is compatible with older versions of Windows. + Other Lua scripting bugs fixed. +
+ SciTE on Windows localisation of menu accelerators changed to be compatible + with alternative UI themes. +
+ SciTE on Windows full screen mode now fits better when menu different height + to title bar height. +
+ SC_MARK_EMPTY marker is now invisible and does not change the background + colour. +
+ Bug fixed in HTML lexer to allow use of <?xml in strings in scripts without + triggering xml mode. +
+ Bug fixed in SciTE abbreviation expansion that could break indentation or crash. +
+ Bug fixed when searching for a whole word string that ends one character before + end of document. +
+ Drawing bug fixed when indicators drawn on wrapped lines. +
+ Bug fixed when double clicking a hotspot. +
+ Bug fixed where autocompletion would remove typed text if no match found. +
+ Bug fixed where display does not scroll when inserting in long wrapped line. +
+ Bug fixed where SCI_MARKERDELETEALL would only remove one of the markers + on a line that contained multiple markers with the same number. +
+ Bug fixed where markers would move when converting line endings. +
+ Bug fixed where SCI_LINEENDWRAP would move too far when line ends are visible. +
+ Bugs fixed where calltips with unicode or other non-ASCII text would display + incorrectly. +
+ Bug fixed in determining if at save point after undoing from save point and then + performing changes. +
+ Bug fixed on GTK+ using unsupported code pages where extraneous text could + be drawn. +
+ Bug fixed in drag and drop code on Windows where dragging from SciTE to + Firefox could hang both applications. +
+ Crashing bug fixed on GTK+ when no font allocation succeeds. +
+ Crashing bug fixed when autocompleting word longer than 1000 characters. +
+ SciTE crashing bug fixed when both Find and Replace dialogs shown by disallowing + this situation. +

+ Release 1.61 +

+ Released on 29 May 2004. +
+ Improvements to selection handling on GTK+. +
+ SciTE on GTK+ 2.4 uses the improved file chooser which allows + file extension filters, multiple selection, and remembers favourite + directories. +
+ SciTE Load Session and Save Session commands available on GTK+. +
+ SciTE lists Lua Startup Script in Options menu when loaded. +
+ In SciTE, OnUserListSelection can be implemented in Lua. +
+ SciTE on Windows has a context menu on the file tabs. +
+ SQL lexer allows '#' comments and optionally '\' quoting inside strings. +
+ Mssql lexer improved. +
+ AutoIt3 lexer updated. +
+ Perl lexer recognizes regular expression use better. +
+ Errorlist lexer understands Lua tracebacks and copes with findstr + output for file names that end with digits. +
+ Drawing of lines on GTK+ improved and made more like Windows + without final point. +
+ SciTE on GTK+ uses a high resolution window icon. +
+ SciTE can be set to warn before loading files larger than a particular size. +
+ SciTE Lua scripting bugs fixed included a crashing bug when using + an undefined function name that would go before first actual name. +

+ Autocompletion does not immediately disappear when the length parameter + to SCI_AUTOCSHOW is 0. +
+ SciTE focuses on the editor pane when File | New executed and when the + output pane is closed with F8. Double clicking on a non-highlighted output + pane line selects the word under the cursor rather than seeking the next + highlighted line. +
+ SciTE director interface implements an "askproperty" command. +
+ SciTE's Export as LaTeX output improved. +
+ Better choice of autocompletion displaying above the caret rather then + below when that is more sensible. +

+ Scintilla method to find the height in pixels of a line. Currently returns the + same result for every line as all lines are same height. +
+ Separate make file, scintilla_vc6.mak, for Scintilla to use Visual C++ + version 6 since main makefile now assumes VS .NET. + VS .NET project files available for combined Scintilla and + SciTE in scite/boundscheck. +
+ SciTE automatically recognises Unicode files based + on their Byte Order Marks and switches to Unicode mode. + On Windows, where SciTE supports Unicode display, this + allows display of non European characters. + The file is saved back into the same character encoding unless + the user decides to switch using the File | Encoding menu. +
+ Handling of character input changed so that a fillup character, typically '(' + displays a calltip when an autocompletion list was being displayed. +
+ Multiline strings lexed better for C++ and Lua. +
+ Regular expressions in JavaScript within hypertext files are lexed better. +

+ Copy as RTF command in SciTE on Windows to allow pasting + styled text into word processors. +
+ SciTE can allow the use of non-alphabetic characters in + Complete Symbol lists and can automatically display this autocompletion + list when a trigger character such as '.' is typed. + Complete word can be set to pop up when the user is typing a word and + there is only one matching word in the document. +
+ SciTE lists the imported properties files on a menu to allow rapid + access to them. +
+ SciTE on GTK+ improvements to handling accelerator keys and focus + in dialogs. Message boxes respond to key presses without the Alt key as + they have no text entries to accept normal keystrokes. +

+ In SciTE, if fold.on.open set then switching buffers also performs fold. +
+ Bug fixed in Scintilla where ensuring a line was visible in the presence of folding + operated on the document line instead of the visible line. +
+ SciTE command line processing modified to operate on arguments in order and in + two phases. First any arguments before the first file name are processed, then the + UI is opened, then the remaining arguments are processed. Actions defined for the + Director interface (currently only "open") may also be used on the command line. + For example, "SciTE -open:x.txt" will start SciTE and open x.txt. +
+ Numbered menu items SciTE's Buffers menu and the Most Recently Used portion + of the File menu go from 1..0 rather than 0..9. +
+ The tab bar in SciTE for Windows has numbers. + The tab.hide.one option hides the tab bar until there is more than one buffer open. +

+ Static linking supported and Tidy.EXE, a statically linked version of Tide.EXE. Changes to + compiler flags in the makefiles to optimise for size. +
+ Scintilla supports a 'savepoint' in the undo stack which can be set by the container when + the document is saved. Notifications are sent to the container when the savepoint is + entered or left, allowing the container to to display a dirty indicator and change its + menus. +
+ When Scintilla is set to read-only mode, a notification is sent to the container should the + user try to edit the document. This can be used to check the document out of a version + control system. +
+ There is an API for setting the appearance of indicators. +
+ The keyboard mapping can be redefined or removed so it can be implemented completely by the + container. All of the keyboard commands are now commands which can be sent by the + container. +
+ A home command like Visual C++ with one hit going to the start of the text on the line and + the next going to the left margin is available. I do not personally like this but my + fingers have become trained to it by much repetition. +
+ SCI_MARKERDELETEALL has an argument in wParam which is the number of the type marker to + delete with -1 performing the old action of removing all marker types. +
+ Tide now understands both the file name and line numbers in error messages in most cases. +
+ Tide remembers the current lines of files in the recently used list. +
+ Tide has a Find in Files command. +

+ Beta release 0.80 +

+ This was the first public release on 14th March 1999, containing a mostly working Win32 + Scintilla DLL and Tide EXE. +
