+ Release 1.22 +

+ Released on 27 February 2000. +
+ wxWindows platform defined. + Implementation for wxWindows will be available separately + from main Scintilla distribution. +
+ Line folding in Scintilla. +
+ SciTE performs syntax directed folding for C/C++/Java/Javascript and for Python. +
+ Optional macro recording support. +
+ User properties file (SciTEUser.properties) allows for customisation by the user + that is not overwritten with each installation of SciTE. +
+ Python lexer detects and highlights inconsistent indentation. +
+ Margin API made more orthogonal.SCI_SETMARGINWIDTH and SCI_SETLINENUMBERWIDTH + are deprecated in favour of this new API. +
+ Margins may be made sensitive to forward mouse click events to container. +
+ SQL lexer and styles included. +
+ Perl lexer handles regular expressions better. +
+ Caret policy determines how closely caret is tracked by visible area. +
+ New marker shapes: arrow pointing down, plus and minus. +
+ Optionally display full path in title rather than just file name. +
+ Container is notified when Scintilla gains or loses focus. +
+ SciTE handles focus in a more standard way and applies the main + edit commands to the focused pane. +
+ Container is notified when Scintilla determines that a line needs to be made visible. +
+ Document watchers receive notification when document about to be deleted. +
+ Document interface allows access to list of watchers. +
+ Line end determined correctly for lines ending with only a '\n'. +
+ Search variant that searches form current selection and sets selection. +
+ SciTE understands format of diagnostic messages from WScript. +
+ SciTE remembers top line of window for each file in MRU list so switching to a recent file + is more likeley to show the same text as when the file was previously visible. +
+ Document reference count now initialised correctly. +
+ Setting a null document pointer creates an empty document. +
+ WM_GETTEXT can no longer overrun buffer. +
+ Polygon drawing bug fixed on GTK+. +
+ Java and Javascript lexers merged into C++ lexer. +
+ C++ lexer indicates unterminated strings by colouring the end of the line + rather than changing the rest of the file to string style. This is less + obtrusive and helps the folding. +

+ Release 1.21 +

+ Released on 2 February 2000. +
+ Blank margins on left and right side of text. +
+ SCN_CHECKBRACE renamed SCN_UPDATEUI and made more efficient. +
+ SciTE source code refactored into platform independent and platform specific classes. +
+ XML and Perl subset lexers in SciTE. +
+ Large improvement to lexing speed. +
+ A new subsystem, 2, allows use of ShellExec on Windows. +
+ Borland compatible makefile. +
+ Status bar showing caret position in GTK+ version of SciTE. +
+ Bug fixes to selection drawing when part of selection outside window, mouse release over + scroll bars, and scroll positioning after deletion. +

+ Release 1.2 +

+ Released on 21 January 2000. +
+ Multiple views of one document. +
+ Rectangular selection, cut, copy, paste, drag and drop. +
+ Long line indication. +
+ Reverse searching +
+ Line end conversion. +
+ Generic autocompletion and calltips in SciTE. +
+ Call tip background colour can be set. +
+ SCI_MARKERPREV for moving to a previous marker. +
+ Caret kept more within window where possible. +

+ Release 1.15 +

+ Released on 15 December 1999. +
+ Brace highlighting and badlighting (for mismatched braces). +
+ Visible line ends. +
+ Multiple line call tips. +
+ Printing now works from SciTE on Windows. +
+ SciTE has a global "*" lexer style that is used as the basis for all the lexers' styles. +
+ Fixes some warnings on GTK+ 1.2.6. +
+ Better handling of modal dialogs on GTK+. +
+ Resize handle drawn on pane splitter in SciTE on GTK+ so it looks more like a regular GTK+ + *paned widget. +
+ SciTE does not place window origin offscreen if no properties file found on GTK+. +
+ File open filter remembered in SciTE on Windows. +
+ New mechanism using style numbers 32 to 36 standardises the setting of styles for brace + highlighting, brace badlighting, line numbers, control characters and the default style. +
+ Old messages SCI_SETFORE .. SCI_SETFONT have been replaced by the default style 32. The old + messages are deprecated and will disappear in a future version. +

+ Release 1.14 +

+ Released on 20 November 1999. +
+ Fixes a scrolling bug reported on GTK+. +

+ Release 1.13 +

+ Released on 18 November 1999. +
+ Fixes compilation problems with the mingw32 GCC 2.95.2 on Windows. +
+ Control characters are now visible. +
+ Performance has improved, particularly for scrolling. +
+ Windows RichEdit emulation is more accurate. This may break client code that uses these + messages: EM_GETLINE, EM_GETLINECOUNT, EM_EXGETSEL, EM_EXSETSEL, EM_EXLINEFROMCHAR, + EM_LINELENGTH, EM_LINEINDEX, EM_CHARFROMPOS, EM_POSFROMCHAR, and EM_GETTEXTRANGE. +
+ Menus rearranged and accelerator keys set for all static items. +
+ Placement of space indicators in view whitespace mode is more accurate with some fonts. +

+ Release 1.12 +

+ Released on 9 November 1999. +
+ Packaging error in 1.11 meant that the compilation error was not fixed in that release. + Linux/GTK+ should compile with GCC 2.95 this time. +

+ Release 1.11 +

+ Released on 7 November 1999. +
+ Fixed a compilation bug in ScintillaGTK.cxx. +
+ Added a README file to explain how to build. +
+ GTK+/Linux downloads now include documentation. +
+ Binary only Sc1.EXE one file download for Windows. +

+ Release 1.1 +

+ Released on 6 November 1999. +
+ Major restructuring for better modularity and platform independence. +
+ Inter-application drag and drop. +
+ Printing support in Scintilla on Windows. +
+ Styles can select colouring to end of line. This can be used when a file contains more than + one language to differentiate between the areas in each language. An example is the HTML + + JavaScript styling in SciTE. +
+ Actions can be grouped in the undo stack, so they will be undone together. This grouping is + hierarchical so higher level actions such as replace all can be undone in one go. Call to + discover whether there are any actions to redo. +
+ The set of characters that define words can be changed. +
+ Markers now have identifiers and can be found and deleted by their identifier. The empty + marker type can be used to make a marker that is invisible and which is only used to trace + where a particular line moves to. +
+ Double click notification. +
+ HTML styling in SciTE also styles embedded JavaScript. +
+ Additional tool commands can be added to SciTE. +
+ SciTE option to allow reloading if changed upon application activation and saving on + application deactivation. Not yet working on GTK+ version. +
+ Entry fields in search dialogs remember last 10 user entries. Not working in all cases in + Windows version. +
+ SciTE can save a styled copy of the current file in HTML format. As SciTE does not yet + support printing, this can be used to print a file by then using a browser to print the + HTML file. +

+ Release 1.02 +

+ Released on 1 October 1999. +
+ GTK+ version compiles with GCC 2.95. +
+ Properly deleting objects when window destroyed under GTK+. +
+ If the selection is not empty backspace deletes the selection. +
+ Some X style middle mouse button handling for copying the primary selection to and from + Scintilla. Does not work in all cases. +
+ HTML styling in SciTE. +
+ Stopped dirty flag being set in SciTE when results pane modified. +

+ Release 1.01 +

+ Released on 28 September 1999. +
+ Better DBCS support on Windows including IME. +
+ Wheel mouse support for scrolling and zooming on Windows. Zooming with Ctrl+KeypadPlus and + Ctrl+KeypadMinus. +
+ Performance improvements especially on GTK+. +
+ Caret blinking and settable colour on both GTK+ and Windows. +
+ Drag and drop within a Scintilla window. On Windows, files can be dragged into SciTE. +

+ Release 1.0 +

+ Released on 17 May 1999. +
+ Changed name of "Tide" to "SciTE" to avoid clash with a TCL based IDE. "SciTE" is a + SCIntilla based Text Editor and is Latin meaning something like "understanding in a neat + way" and is also an Old English version of the word "shit". +
+ There is a SCI_AUTOCSTOPS message for defining a string of characters that will stop + autocompletion mode. Autocompletion mode is cancelled when any cursor movement occurs apart + from backspace. +
+ GTK+ version now splits horizontally as well as vertically and all dialogs cancel when the + escape key is pressed. +

+ Beta release 0.93 +

+ Released on 12 May 1999. +
+ A bit more robust than 0.92 and supports SCI_MARKERNEXT message. +

+ Beta release 0.92 +

+ Released on 11 May 1999. +
+ GTK+ version now contains all features of Windows version with some very small differences. + Executing programs works much better now. +
+ New palette code to allow more colours to be displayed in 256 colour screen modes. A line + number column can be displayed to the left of the selection margin. +
+ The code that maps from line numbers to text positions and back has been completely + rewritten to be faster, and to allow markers to move with the text. +

+ Beta release 0.91 +

+ Released on 30 April 1999, containing fixes to text measuring to make Scintilla work better + with bitmap fonts. Also some small fixes to make compiling work with Visual C++. +

+ Beta release 0.90 +

+ Released on 29 April 1999, containing working GTK+/Linux version. +
+ The Java, C++ and Python lexers recognise operators as distinct from default allowing them + to be highlighted. +

+ Beta release 0.82 +

+ Released on 1 April 1999, to fix a problem with handling the Enter key in PythonWin. Also + fixes some problems with cmd key mapping. +

+ Beta release 0.81 +

+ Released on 30th March 1999, containing bug fixes and a few more features. +
+ 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 + menues. +
+ 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 appearence 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. +

+ Beta releases of SciTE were called Tide +
