Entries marked with "(!)" might break macro portability compared to the preceding release. +Version 2.5.0 (2026-01-01) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +* `make install` no longer touches already installed files, + which may appease some packaging systems (FreeBSD ports). + However `make install bindir=...` and the like are no longer supported. +* fixed clicking the "(Unnamed)" buffer in 0EB popups +* Implemented recovery file mechanism: + Unsaved changes are dumped to #filename#. + Use n,6EJ to configure the recovery file dumping interval. +* Fixed building on platforms with very large FILENAME_MAX (GNU/Hurd) +* fixed rub out of file writes to non-existing symlinks +* allow configuring the command line height using h,5EJ +* Added ED flag 2048 to redirect Scintilla messages to the command line view: + enables syntax highlighting on the command line. +* The command line macro is now managed by an ordinary Scintilla view + both for GTK and Curses. +* render tabs as "TAB" (without indention) in the command-line and in + SciTECO macros (SciTECO lexer) +* throw an error immediately after `nEB` if n != 0 +* ./configure --enable-static-executables now automatically pulls in static + libraries of libraries via pkg-config. +* ./configure supports $CURSES_CFLAGS and $CURSES_LIBS now +* ./configure --with-launcher=LAUNCHER can be used to run SciTECO with a launcher + command (e.g. wine or wine64) +* added high-contrast color scheme (contrast.tes) +* mention both mailing list and personal mail in `sciteco --help` +* Work around ncurses mouse handling bugs with GNOME Terminal and Xterm. + This has been fixed in ncurses since version 20250913. +* fixed parallel builds: womanpages were sometimes broken +* Support <:O>: if a label is not found, continue execution after the go-to statement. + Allows to use computed gotos as select-case-like constructs. +* bumped minimum GCC version to v8.1, Gtk to 3.24 +* bumped Scintilla to v5.5.7 +* fully support NetBSD with its native libcurses (netbsd-curses) +* support Groff v1.19.2 as still used by default on NetBSD 10 +* fixed building on openSUSE 15.5 and 15.6 +* fix up hash-bang lines only of the scripts really installed by the current + `make install` invocation +* allow messages to be of arbitrary length: fixes crashes +* added tecat.tes to standard library: can be installed as the Git textconv filter +* some internal refactoring and simplifications +* Fixed serious bug with certain alternative string termination chars in commands with + multiple string arguments. This affected curly braces, ^A and Escape ($). +* (!) Whitespace is now ignored in front of alternative string terminators (as in TECO-64). + E.g. `@I /Hello world/` is valid now. +* implemented the ^W command for refreshing the screen in loops, for sleeping and also the + CTRL+L immediate editing command for forcing a complete screen redraw +* repl.tes: added script that reproduces the classic TECO REPL command-line. + This is not ready, though, as it terminates on the first error. +* `ED&2` can be used to access the program termination flag now. + This can be useful for checking whether a macro has run <EX> or to cancel + the effect of EX. +* Fixed using the command-line replacement register (Escape, $) in batch mode: + was causing assertions when entering interactive mode +* fixed a,b,c^Uq...$: The arguments where written in the wrong (reverse) order +* ncurses: support setting the window/tab title on XTerm-like emulators +* if <EX> fails because of a dirty buffer, the buffer's id is now included + in the error message +* FreeBSD: enable dlmalloc by default (--enable-malloc-replacement) which + gives a 20-25% speedup +* Special Q-registers `$` (working directory) and the clipboard registers now + support the append operation (:Xq, :^Uq...), i.e. you can append (or cut-append) + to the clipboard +* added topics for all colon-modified commands to the online help (`?` command) +* (!) <nEL> (set EOL mode) now sets the buffer's dirty flag, forcing you to + save or discard changes +* fixed minor memory leaks during SciTECO syntax highlighting and in case + of end-of-macro errors +* The primary clipboard (`~` register) is now chosen by the 10th bit in the ED flags. + This allows you to use the "selection" X11 clipboard as the default backend of `~`. +* Implemented <ER> command for reading a file into the current buffer. + This is a Video TECO extension. +* <EW> now accepts a numeric argument to specify the buffer to save +* <EF> supports a numeric buffer id now +* sciteco(7): clarified SciTECO's policy with regards to TECO-11 and Video TECO compatibility +* sciteco(7): minor manpage fixes +* sciteco(7): added a help topic for booleans +* PDCurses/Wincon: disable hardware cursor after window resize +* Improved mouse support in PDCurses v4.5.1. + This is in the official Windows builds. +* GTK: implemented --detach|-d option for detaching from controlling terminal +* GTK: fixed scrolling on systems that only support smooth scrolling +* GTK: monospaced sections in womanpages now respect lexer.font and variable-width + font is configurable via lexer.woman.font (refs #34) +* fixed ^S/^Y for search-replacement commands +* ^S/^Y fixed for <Gq> and <EN> +* ^S/^Y calculates the glyph offsets earlier, so that deletions after an insert or search + no longer affect the results. + This also fixes querying ranges after <FD>. +* added <FN> as a search-and-replace variant of <N> +* Refactored some lexer configurations to make them more pleasurable to look at. + Most text should always be in the default colors. +* SciTECO lexer: style comma, braces and two-character operators as operators +* SciTECO lexer: now tries to avoid unnecessary restylings by styling + from the current line as well +* YAML lexer: default to 2 character soft tabs +* added LaTeX lexer config +* added --quiet, --stdin and --stdout for easier integration into UNIX pipelines +* Improved DEC TECO compatibility - makes SciTECO much more usable as a scripting language. + * (!) <nA> and <nQq> now return -1 in case the index n is out of range + * (!) <EI> has been repurposed and is the macro file inclusion (indirect file) command now. + <EM> is deprecated. + Pre-v2.5.0 <EI> can be replaced with `I^P`. + * (!) <^C> is a plain "return" command now, while <^C^C> exits from the program + * implemented <^B> for returning the current date + * implemented ^E<code> string building constructs for embedding bytes and codepoints + in a strtoul()-like manner + * support <:]q> (pop Q-Register) for getting a success/failure boolean + * support <==> and <===> for printing octal and hexadecimal numbers + * support :=/:==/:=== commands: print number without trailing linefeed + * Implemented the <^A> command for printing arbitrary strings. + You can use :^A to force raw ANSI output. + * implemented <:Gq> for printing the Q-Register string as a message instead of inserting it + * implemented the <T> (typeout) command for printing to the terminal from the current buffer + * implemented ^T command: allows typing by code and getting characters from stdin or the user + * implemented ^H command for returning the current time since midnight. + :^H returns the seconds since the UNIX epoch and ::^H the monotonic time in microseconds + (useful for benchmarking). + * added -v/--version and <EO> command to query the program version + * (!) the computed go-to command (O) is now 0-indexed and all invalid indexes and + empty labels are ignored +* (!) Command-line arguments are no longer passed via the unnamed buffer, + but via special Q-registers ^Ax. + This introduces one point of incompatibility with DEC TECO. +* new string building construct ^P disables all further string building magic +* allow process exit status to be determined by macros +* python lexer: fixed block comment styling +* disallow command-line termination ($$) while editing the command-line replacement + register (after `{`) +* fixed rubbing out stack operations in macro calls (was causing memory violations) +* opener.tes: Fixed +line,column syntax +* fnkeys.tes: support folding via F1 and clicks in the folding margin +* implemented email and "git" lexer folding, as well as folding in womanpages and for + the SciTECO language lexer +* There is an Alpine Linux package in the "community" repository now. + Version 2.4.0 (2025-04-19) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
