ubuntu-18.04 and macos-10.15
As much as I like to support older systems, this will otherwise suddenly and unexpectedly break
CI and nightly builds in the near future...
|
|
* Autotools are apparently no longer preinstalled or part of base-devel.
|
|
* This simplifies writing CFLAGS="-g -O0" CXXFLAGS="-g -O0".
* We build "release" binaries by default.
NDEBUG will now be defined unless you specify --enable-debug.
This enables some optimizations that have long been implemented but were never actually active:
* SciTECO shuts down faster since it will not explicitly free memory.
On the downside, this would complicate memory debugging with Valgrind/memcheck.
* dlmalloc is built with -DINSECURE=1 which is supposedly a bit faster.
Some compilers also complained about an unportable preprocessor usage which should
now be gone.
* All CI builds are now with --enable-debug.
This will slow them down but ensure that more code is executed and thus tested.

* Lexilla apparently does not build with GCC, although that seems
to be a matter of build flags.
|
|
* Previous Scintilla version was 3.6.4 and Scinterm was 1.7 (with lots of custom patches).
All of the patches are now either irrelevant or have been merged upstream.
* Since Scintilla 5 requires C++17, this increases the minimum GCC version at least
to 5.0. We may actually require even newer versions.
* I could not upgrade the scintilla-mirror (which was imported from Mercurial),
so the old sciteco-dev branch was renamed to sciteco-dev-pre-v2.0.0,
master was deleted and I reimported the entire Scintilla repo using
git-remote-hg.
This means that scintilla-mirror now contains two entirely separate trees.
But it is still possible to clone old SciTECO repos.
* The strategy/workflow of maintaining hotfix branches on scintilla-mirror has been changed.
Instead of having one sciteco-dev branch that is rebased onto new Scintilla upstream
releases and tagging SciTECO releases in scintilla-mirror (to keep the commits referenced),
we now create a branch for every Scintilla version we are based on (eg. sciteco-rel-5-1-3).
This branch is never rebased or deleted. Therefore, we are guaranteed to be able to
clone arbitrary SciTECO repo commits - not only releases.
Releases no longer have to be tagged in scintilla-mirror.
On the downside, fixup commits may accumulate in these new branches.
They can only be squashed once a new branch for a new Scintilla release is created
(e.g. by cherry-picking followed by rebase).
* Scinterm does no longer have to reside in the Scintilla subdirectory,
so we added it as a regular submodule.
There are no more recursive submodules.
The Scinterm build system has not been improved at all, but we use
a trick based on VPATH to build Scinterm in scintilla/bin/.
* Scinterm is now in Git and we reference the upstream repo for the
time being.
We might mirror it and apply the same branching workflow as with Scintilla
if necessary.
The scinterm-mirror repository still exists but has not been touched.
We will also have to rewrite its master branch as it was a non-reproducible
Mercurial import.
* Scinterm now also comes with patches for Scintilla which we simply applied
on our sciteco-rel-5-1-3 branch.
* Scintilla 5 outsourced its lexers into the Lexilla project.
We added it as yet another submodule.
* All submodules have been moved into contrib/.
* The Scintilla API for setting lexers has consequently changed.
We now have to call SCI_SETILEXER(0, CreateLexer(name)).
As I did not want to introduce a separate command for setting lexers,
<ES> has been extended to allow setting lexers by name with the SCI_SETILEXER
message which effectively replaces SCI_SETLEXERLANGUAGE.
* The lexer macros (SCLEX_...) no longer serve any purpose - they weren't used
in the SciTECO standard library anyway - and have consequently been removed
from symbols-scilexer.c.
The style macros from SciLexer.h (SCE_...) are theoretically still useful - even
though they are not used by our current color schemes - and have therefore been
retained. They can be specified as wParam in <ES>.
* <ES> no longer allows symbolic constants for lParam.
This never made any sense since all supported symbols were always wParam.
* Scinterm supports new native cursor modes.
They are not used for the time being and the previous CARETSTYLE_BLOCK_AFTER
caret style is configured by default.
It makes no sense to enable native cursor modes now since the
command line should have a native cursor but is not yet a Scintilla view.
* The Scintilla upgrade performed much worse than before,
so some optimizations will be necessary.

* The testsuite now works on my Windows 2008 Server installation,
so hopefully it will also work on the build servers.

* We don't need the PNG icons on Windows as the compiled-in ICO should suffice
* Ship the dependencies of the SVG pixbuf loader.
* The PNG pixbuf loader is still distributed, as we at least need it
for loading the icon theme.
* Install a loaders.cache - without it, the pixbuf loaders won't be found.
This file can be generated by gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders but apparently has
to be modified by hand.
* Regenerate the icon cache using gtk-update-icon-cache.
* Icon themes are found now.
Unfortunately, we have to distribute the entire Adwaita icon theme
as distributing only the scalable (SVG) icons does not work for some
strange reason (FIXME).

* follow the current terminology:
* PDCurses/Win32a is now called PDCursesMod and includes all other PDCurses ports as well.
The Win32 GUI port is now called PDCurses/WinGUI.
* PDCurses/Win32 is now called PDCurses/WinCon.
* Since PDCursesMod supports WinCon as well, we use the PDCURSES_MOD macro only
to detect PDCursesMod API extensions.
GUIs (detached from system console) might be available both in classic PDCurses as well
as in PDCursesMod.
Only PDCursesMod allows detection of the port used *at runtime* using PDC_get_version().
We therefore introduced a --with-interface=pdcurses-gui that must be given whenever
compiling for any kind of GUI port (including SDL on "classic" PDCurses).
* The PDCURSES macro is used to detect all PDCurses (whether classic or PDCursesMod) API extensions.
* __PDCURSES__ is used to detect PDCurses whenever API extensions are not required.
* Assume that A_UNDERLINE now works even on WinCon.

teco-gtk-label.gob to plain C
* Using modern GObject idioms and macros greatly reduces the necessary boilerplate code.
* The plain C versions of our GObject classes are now "final" (cannot be derived)
This means we can hide the instance structures from the headers and avoid using
explicit private fields.
* Avoids some deprecation warnings when building the Gtk UI.
* GOB2 is apparently no longer maintained, so this seems like a good idea in the long run.
* The most important reason however is that there is no precompiled GOB2 for Windows
which prevents compilation on native Windows hosts, eg. during nightly builds.
This is even more important as Gtk+3 is distributed on Windows practically
exclusively via MSYS.
(ArchLinux contains MinGW gtk3 packages as well, so cross-compiling from ArchLinux
would have been an alternative.)

* The testsuite still fails and I cannot fix it without a Windows system or VM at hand.
* Problems are probably related to <EC> (spawning).
* Simply disabling the test suite would not make much sense as
we already try building using nightly.yml.

We can still fall back to Homebrew if we have to.

* The CI tests are unchanged. The workflow file has been renamed to ci.yml, though.
* Nightly builds are described by nightly.yml and are built at 4:13.
* Nightly Ubuntu package builds now include the Gtk+ 3 packages.
