</li>
<li>
wxWindows platform defined.
Implementation for wxWindows will be available separately
from main Scintilla distribution.
</li>
<li>
Line folding in Scintilla.
</li>
<li>
SciTE performs syntax directed folding for C/C++/Java/Javascript and for Python.
</li>
<li>
Optional macro recording support.
</li>
<li>
User properties file (SciTEUser.properties) allows for customisation by the user
that is not overwritten with each installation of SciTE.
</li>
<li>
Python lexer detects and highlights inconsistent indentation.
</li>
<li>
Margin API made more orthogonal.SCI_SETMARGINWIDTH and SCI_SETLINENUMBERWIDTH
are deprecated in favour of this new API.
</li>
<li>
Margins may be made sensitive to forward mouse click events to container.
</li>
<li>
SQL lexer and styles included.
</li>
<li>
Perl lexer handles regular expressions better.
</li>
<li>
Caret policy determines how closely caret is tracked by visible area.
</li>
<li>
New marker shapes: arrow pointing down, plus and minus.
</li>
<li>
Optionally display full path in title rather than just file name.
</li>
<li>
Container is notified when Scintilla gains or loses focus.
</li>
<li>
SciTE handles focus in a more standard way and applies the main
edit commands to the focused pane.
</li>
<li>
Container is notified when Scintilla determines that a line needs to be made visible.
</li>
<li>
Document watchers receive notification when document about to be deleted.
</li>
<li>
Document interface allows access to list of watchers.
</li>
<li>

</li>
<li>
Search variant that searches form current selection and sets selection.
</li>
<li>
SciTE understands format of diagnostic messages from WScript.
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
<li>
Document reference count now initialised correctly.
</li>
<li>
Setting a null document pointer creates an empty document.
</li>
<li>
WM_GETTEXT can no longer overrun buffer.

Polygon drawing bug fixed on GTK+.
</li>
<li>
Java and Javascript lexers merged into C++ lexer.
</li>
<li>
C++ lexer indicates unterminated strings by colouring the end of the line

obtrusive and helps the folding.
</li>

</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Released on 9 November 1999.
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
</ul>

<a href="SciTE111.zip">Release 1.11</a>
</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Released on 7 November 1999.
</li>
<li>
Fixed a compilation bug in ScintillaGTK.cxx.
</li>
<li>
Added a README file to explain how to build.

<h3>
<a href="SciTE110.zip">Release 1.1</a>
</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Released on 6 November 1999.
</li>
<li>
Major restructuring for better modularity and platform independence.
</li>
<li>
Inter-application drag and drop.
</li>
<li>
Printing support in Scintilla on Windows.
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
<li>
The set of characters that define words can be changed.
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
<li>
Double click notification.
</li>
<li>
HTML styling in SciTE also styles embedded JavaScript.
</li>
<li>
Additional tool commands can be added to SciTE.
</li>
<li>
SciTE option to allow reloading if changed upon application activation and saving on
application deactivation. Not yet working on GTK+ version.
</li>
<li>
Entry fields in search dialogs remember last 10 user entries. Not working in all cases in
Windows version.
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
</ul>

</h3>
<ul>
<li>
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".
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
<li>
GTK+ version now splits horizontally as well as vertically and all dialogs cancel when the
escape key is pressed.
</li>
</ul>

Executing programs works much better now.

rewritten to be faster, and to allow markers to move with the text.

</ul>
<h3>
<a href="Tide91.zip">Beta release 0.91</a>
</h3>
<ul>
<li>
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++.

</ul>
<h3>
<a href="Tide90.zip">Beta release 0.90</a>
</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Released on 29 April 1999, containing working GTK+/Linux version.
</li>
<li>
The Java, C++ and Python lexers recognise operators as distinct from default allowing them
to be highlighted.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<a href="Tide82.zip">Beta release 0.82</a>
</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Released on 1 April 1999, to fix a problem with handling the Enter key in PythonWin. Also
fixes some problems with cmd key mapping.

<h3>
<a href="Tide82.zip">Beta release 0.81</a>
</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Released on 30th March 1999, containing bug fixes and a few more features.
</li>
<li>
Static linking supported and Tidy.EXE, a statically linked version of Tide.EXE. Changes to
compiler flags in the makefiles to optimise for size.
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
<li>
There is an API for setting the appearence of indicators.
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
<li>
Tide now understands both the file name and line numbers in error messages in most cases.
</li>
<li>
Tide remembers the current lines of files in the recently used list.
