* The default womanpage font is the abstract "Serif" now, so that should be
more portable. "Times" wasn't found on Windows.
* Win32 distributions include a custom .teco_css now, which
removes the small-caps font attribute from the type label.
The default Gtk theme on Windows references the "Segoe UI" font
and it doesn't have a small-caps variant.
In fact no default Windows font appears to have one.
* We could add a custom .teco_ini to win32 distributions as well,
but there is currently no need for it.
* Do not distribute the /win32 files. They are used only for building
Win32/64 packages. There is no point in distributing them in the tarball if
the /debian and /freebsd directories aren't distributed as well.

* We can therefore no longer provide 20.04 nightly builds.
Perhaps I will manually build binary releases for the v2.4.0 release for the last time.
The PPA will still provide 20.04 of course.
* The AppImages are consequently also built based on the Ubuntu 22.04 packages,
which are now the oldest supported ones.
|
|
--enable-html-docs
* `--enable-html-manual` renamed to `--enable-html-docs`.
* It's also uploaded to the website and linked to in README.
|
|
groff is now required in its entirety
|
|
* Also run CI on 24.04.
* The Ubuntu 20.04 runner is deprecated soon until 1. April 2025,
but for the time being we keep supporting it as well.
|
|
* After installation, SciTECO will therefore start into a more userfriendly mode
even if the user does not create a custom ~/.teco_ini.
It is hoped that this will scare away less of new users, who
are not willing to read through all of the documentation.
Still, users are warned in the absence of ~/.teco_ini.
This warning however, might not be immediately visible, especially
not when running gsciteco without an attached console.
(This will change once I redo the UI and allow a number of messages
to be queued in the message area.)
* Theoretically, you could also just extend fallback.teco_ini from ~/.teco_ini,
but that would require installing it into $SCITECOPATH.
* Since the fallback profile will now be munged automatically
on a wide range of systems, we set up xclip only when detecting X11
($DISPLAY is non-empty).
E.g. when running under Wayland or the Linux console, you still won't
get the clipboard registers, which is probably better than having the
clipboard operations fail once you try to use them.
* xclip is now "suggested" on Debian/Ubuntu.
Unfortunately we cannot pull it in only in the presence of X11.

nightly builds
|
|
* the filenames contain commit hashes now, so it's no longer trivial to do with wget
* should fix nightly builds
|
|
* This means you should be able to install them into non-root directories. E.g.:
sudo installer -pkg sciteco-curses_nightly_macos_x86_64.pkg -target test-installation
|
|
|
|
* 32-bit binaries have been dropped, even though we could build both.
But there is virtually no demand for 64-bit binaries left.
* I continue to build 32-bit versions during CI, so that at least
something still builds and tests under 32-bit.
|
|
* 13 is now the oldest supported version
|
|
* You can now specify `--with-scitecodatadir` as a relative path,
that will be interpreted relative to the binary's location.
* Win32 binaries already were relocatable, but this was a Windows-specific
hack. Win32 binaries are now built with `--with-scitecodatadir=.`
since everything is in a single directory.
* Ubuntu packages are now also built `--with-scitecodatadir=../share/sciteco`.
This is not crucial for ordinary installations, but is meant for AppImage creation.
* Since AppImages are now built from relocatable packages,
we no longer need the unionfs-workaround from pkg2appimage.
This should fix the strange root contents when autocompleting in
AppImage builds.
* This might also fix the appimage.github.io CI issues.
I assume that because I could reproduce the issue on FreeBSD's
Linuxulator in dependence of pkg2appimage's "union"-setting.
See https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io/pull/3402
* Determining the binary location actually turned out be hard and
very platform-dependant. There are now implementations for Windows
(which could also read argv[0]), Linux and generic UNIX (which
works on FreeBSD, but I am not sure about the others).
I believe this could also be useful on Mac OS to create app bundles,
but this needs to be tested - currently the Mac OS binaries are
installed into fixed locations and don't use relocation.

pixbuf loader file name changed
|
|
* The Mac OS package for v2.1.0 actually still encodes "2.0.0".
But I am going to ignore this. It's not worth fixing, considering the
experimental nature of the Mac OS builds.
|
|
* This is necessary to fix the Unicode test suite on Win32,
so I was always passing in --disable-shared manually.
It's easy to forget though when building from scratch.
* We don't currently install any (shared) library, so this is safe
on all platforms.
In fact on all other platforms, libtool detects that and doesn't
generate wrapper binaries in any way.
Only on win32 it's apparently buggy.
|
|
* character-based model, avoid mentioning "ASCII code"
* added "0EE" example
* should be built with pdfmom, so it's built with gropdf
|
|
* This pushes to the gh-pages branch since we don't yet want to introduce a new
workflow (that would have to rebuild SciTECO).
* Built as part of the nightly MacOS builds.
The Ubuntu builds directly build Debian packages which do not contain the
HTML manuals.
* I don't want to check in images into the master branch.
The gh-pages branch is cleaned with every build.
Therefore I still cross-link to Sourceforge for any additional images
and documents.
* We could automatically build the cheat-sheet.pdf (TODO?).
For the time being, we are still linking to Sourceforge.
|
|
* The libtool wrapper binaries do not pass down UTF-8 strings correctly,
so the Unicode tests failed under some circumstances.
* As we aren't actually linking against any locally-built shared libraries,
we are passing --disable-shared to libtool which inhibts wrapper generation
on win32 and fixes the test suite.
* Also use up to date autotools. This didn't fix anything, though.
* test suite: try writing an Unicode filename as well
* There have been problems doing that on Win32 where UTF-8 was not
correctly passed down from the command line and some Windows API
calls were only working with ANSI filenames etc.

The Mac OS 12 Groff apparently does not accept `-K` for preconv.
|
|
* You no longer have to copy contrib/scintilla, contrib/scinterm and contrib/lexilla
manually to the build directory.
* It turns out, that Scintilla/Lexilla was supporting this since 2016.
Scintilla allows pointing to a source directory (srdir) and Lexilla to a binary directory (DIR_O).
* For Scinterm I opened a pull request in order to add srcdir/basedir variables:
https://github.com/orbitalquark/scinterm/pull/21
* `make distcheck` is therefore now also fixed.
* The FreeBSD package is now allowed to build out of source.
I haven't tested it yet.
* See also https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla/issues/266

|
* MacOS packages are now built on macos-12 since macos-11 has been deprecated.
|
|
* Disabled pyTooling/Actions/releaser composite on Ubuntu and use a container instead.
The composite step is obviously broken on Ubuntu 20.04.
|
|
* pyTooling/Actions/releaser/composite updated to v0.4.6
|
|
* mingw-bundledlls apparently does not output MinGW-friendly filenames,
so we cannot use it to bundle files into a directory differing from the
executable's directory.
|
|
* make sure that all DLLs are packaged into the root directory even
those for the pixbuf loaders
|
|
* mingw-bundledlls finds and copies transitive DLL dependencies.
* Like all external one-file sources, mingw-bundledlls has been copied into contrib/
instead of adding a submodule.
It's taken from here: https://github.com/mpreisler/mingw-bundledlls
* Packaging is more robust now if dependant DLLs are upgraded or if we
decide to link in more statically.
With the old scheme, we might also miss some DLL and break builds
without even noticing it.

This is slightly less idiosyncratic than shipping a tarball of the installation root.
The pkg has been reported to be installable even via the graphic installer when providing
a password.
Or it can be installed via terminal with `sudo installer`.
So it no longer requires any manual dequarantining.

* replace actions/upload-artifact with pyTooling/Actions/releaser
* The release URL will never change:
https://github.com/rhaberkorn/sciteco/releases/tag/nightly
* On the downside there is now a "nightly" tag in the repo that will
be updated to HEAD whenever a nightly build runs - but other than that it does no harm.
* Compared with artifacts, the new method has several advantages:
* No more nightly.link Github App required
* We can add arbitrary files into releases and no longer have to ZIP everything.
So you can now download the Debian packages separately, the Mac OS "package" is a tar.gz
(instead of zipped tar).
For the Windows packages not much changes, though.
* Files get updated in the "Nightly Builds" release even when individual jobs in the
nightly.yml workflow fail.
With artefacts, the entire workflow must be successful.
* Releases are not deleted after 90 days as opposed to artefacts.
So when my workflow breaks next time, there will still be files to download
for a long time.
* As a downside, the file names in the release have to be uniform and must not contain
versions, commit hashes and dates so that uploads replace old files instead of adding
new ones.
Some manual cleanup could still be necessary after large packaging changes.
This could be worked around, by uploading everything first as artefacts and updating the
release in a separate job, but is not worth the trouble IMHO.
* Another disadvantage is that there will be no old nightly builds to download
(although these were not easily downloadable for end users before).

* should fix Win32/Gtk packaging
|
|
* Gtk packaging is quite possibly still broken

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...
|

were missing
|
|
(sciteco.exe) and WinGUI (gsciteco.exe) binaries
* newer versions of PDCurses on MinGW contain both WinCON and WinGUI (static) libraries
|
|
* Autotools are apparently no longer preinstalled or part of base-devel.
|
|
* Only x86_64 builds are supported for the time being.
They have been tested on Mac OS 10.15 (Darling) and 11 (thanks to @dertuxmalwieder).
* Curses glitches remain on Mac OS as reported by @dertuxmalwieder.
Under Darling with a Linux terminal emulator, everything looks as it should.
* We don't build AppBundles or pkg installers but instead came up with a rather
ideosyncratic way of packaging:
The packages are tarballs of the installation tree with all dependant libraries
added under /usr/local/lib/sciteco - thanks to dylibbundler.
The archives are supposed to be unpacked into the UNIX tree root (`tar -C / -xf sciteco.tar`)
and it will be necessary to "de-quarantine" all the binaries.
Details will be documented in the wiki:
https://github.com/rhaberkorn/sciteco/wiki/Mac-OS-Support
* Perhaps we will also ship an installation script (TODO).
* AppBundles would have the disadvantage that they cannot be directly installed
into $PATH. On the other hand, this would be relatively easy to do afterwards.
An AppBundle would need certain code adaptions for Mac OS, though.
* Gtk+ builds are not yet supported as I cannot test them with "Darling".
* All Nightly Build artifact names now mention the target architecture.
* build Win32 nightly builds with windows-2019
* May improve compatibility slightly in the future as we should
always build our binaries on the oldest possible system.
* Does not change anything currently since windows-2019 == windows-latest.
* CI still uses windows-latest and may therefore one day switch to windows-2022.
* updated README
|
|
* There is little sense in linking the PDCurses builds statically as
we have to ship most DLLs anyway.
So we now link even the sciteco binary itself dynamically.
This could save a few megabytes in the resulting Zip.
* SciTECO is now fast enough to be able to run the test suites even on
Win32.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* We have to list all Win32 DLLs in LIBGLIB_LIBS since we
currently link it in statically.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* turns out that we need icon themes and pixbuf loaders as well
* GTK assumes an UNIX like hierarchy, so we package sciteco.exe and
all DLLs into a bin/ subdir.
* The SciTECO icons probably shouldn't be in bin/.
If we installed them into the hicolor icon theme, GTK might
pick them up automatically. This would work under Windows and UNIX.
* The GTK builds are still broken.
I do really need a real system (MSYS installation) to play around.
|
|
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.)
|
|
* These builds generally work, but function keys appear to be broken.
This does not happen when building with the latest PDCursesMod on my machine.
* <EC> appears to be broken.
* We try to link everything statically since MSYS provides actually working
static libglib builds.
Unfortunately, their gspawn helper executables are still linked normally,
so we have to pull in most DLLs anyway.
Considering that GTK cannot be linked statically, we should perhaps
simply link the Curses builds dynamically as well.
|
|
meaningful artifact names
* Try to use as much of the "native" (Xcode?) tools on macOS as possible.
We can still fall back to Homebrew if we have to.
