* especially to improve building on FreeBSD 11
* We need GNU Make, yet alone because Scintilla/Scinterm
needs it. We now document that dependency and added
an Autoconf check from the autoconf-archive.
We make sure that the build process is invoked with GNU make
by generating only GNUmakefiles.
The Makefile.am files have not been renamed, so this
change can be rolled back easily.
* Some GNU-Make-specific autoreconf warnings have still been
resolved. But not all of them, as this would have been
unelegant and we need GNU Make anyway.
* Declare ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to appease autoreconf
* Added an explicit check for C++11 from the autoconf-archives.
In general we should support building with every C++11 compiler
that is sufficiently GNU-like.
* Do not use `sed` for inplace editing, as different sed-implementations
have mutually incompatible syntax for this.
Instead of declaring and checking a dependency on GNU sed,
we simply use SciTECO for the editing task.
This improves code portability on BSDs.
* Similarily, BSD/POSIX `cmp` is supported now.
This fixes the test suite on BSD without declaring a
dependency on the GNU coreutils.
* Simplified sciteco-wrapper generation.

* the new "?" (help) command can be used to look up
help topics.
* help topics are index from $SCITECOPATH/women/*.woman.tec
files.
* looking up a help topic opens the corresponding "womanpage"
and jumps to the position of the topic (it acts like an anchor
into the document).
* styling is performed by *.woman.tec files.
* Setting up the Scintilla view and munging the *.tec file
is performed by the new "woman.tes" lexer.
On supporting UIs (Gtk), womanpages are shown in a variable-width
font.
* Woman pages are usually not hand-written, but generated from manpages.
A special Groff post-processor grosciteco has been introduced for this
purpose. It is much like grotty, but can output SciTECO macros for styling
the document (ie. the *.woman.tec files).
It is documented in its own man-page.
* grosciteco also introduces sciteco.tmac - special Troff macros
for controlling the formatting of the document in SciTECO.
It also defines .SCITECO_TOPIC which can be used to mark up
help topics/terms in Troff markup.
* Woman pages are generated/formatted by grosciteco at compile-time, so
they will work on platforms without Groff (ie. as on windows).
* Groff has been added as a hard compile-time requirement.
* The sciteco(1) and sciteco(7) man pages have been augmented with
help topic anchors.

* the Github mirrors contain crucial patches not yet contributed
upstream, so people will currently rely on my Github mirror
repositories in order to build SciTECO

* depend on Gtk+ 3.10. If necessary older versions should also
be supportable. GtkOverlay was already introduced in v3.2
* A fallback for GtkFlowBox is compiled in if the Gtk installation
is too old. This applies even to Ubuntu 14.04 which still runs
Gtk v3.10.
* the threading the Gtk UI is left as it is for the time being
even though the synchronization mechanism has been deprecated.
Alternative approaches have to be tried out and benchmarked.
* Completely revamped the GtkInfoPopup widget.
It is now as powerful as the Curses UI's popup widget.
* A GtkOverlay is used instead of the top-level window hack
in the Gtk2 version.
* GtkFlowBox is used to lay out the columns of the popup.
* I had to work around restrictions of GtkScrolledWindow
by writing my own poor-mans scrolled window which handles
size requests correctly.
* The popup window no longer overflows the screen size,
instead we scroll.
* Scrolling pagewise is finally supported. Wraps at the
end of a list just like the Curses UI.
* Instead of using only two stock icons, we now use
GIO to get file and directory icons for the current theme.
This looks even better.
* The GtkFlowBox allows selections which can be used for mouse
interaction later. But this is not yet implemented.
* Theming of the popup widget and command line is still
not performed correctly.

* CTRL+C interruptions are now possible.
ncurses/win32 needs a noraw() (bug!?) and
the console_ctrl_handler for this to work.
* setting the window title is not possible on this port
* stdio output can be redirected, even in interactive mode.
Also, we can write to stdout/stderr even in interactive mode
without disrupting the terminal.
After endwin(), the user will see these messages (if they
haven't been redirected).
* there's one bug left:
the Scintilla cursor is not drawn correctly at the end of
lines.
* part of the solution to #4

* enabled via --with-interface=xcurses, so we can configure
it automatically via xcurses-config.
This also adds XCURSES_CFLAGS and XCURSES_LIBS.
* The X11 window class name is set to "SciTECO".
X11 resource overrides can currently not be set via
sciteco's command line. The user may use .Xdefaults though.
* interruptions via CTRL+C are currently not supported.
Apparently, XCurses also does send SIGINT in cbreak() mode.
An XCurses-specific hack would be cumbersome.
* ~InterfaceCurses() should probably be rewritten.
Curses cleanup should be completely in restore_batch() as
the destructor may be called after Curses-cleanup handlers.
E.g. isendwin() SEGFAULTs on XCurses when called from the
destructor.

* also added a warning about building on Windows
|
|
* it's now at Scintilla v3.5.6 and Scinterm v1.6
* the Curses tab-stop fix was removed from the sciteco-dev branch
since Mitchell cared about getting it upstream.
It is part of Scintilla v3.5.5 and Scinterm v1.6.
Scinterm built fine with Scintilla v3.5.6, so we're using the
newer release.

minimum version
* it was necessary to increase the upstream version so I could
upload new versions to launchpad while debugging PPA build issues.
* ChangeLog finalized for v0.6.4
* SciTECO requires at least libglib v2.28 (but that's only a guess)
|
|
the most noticable change is that a scroll-bar is displayed
by default (Curses UI)
* INSTALL instructions updated
|
|
|
|
Scintilla is now at v3.5.1 and Scinterm at v1.4 (actually one commit
after that and the sciteco-branch contains another fix for the Scinterm
Makefile)

this should simplify building SciTECO for new users
* compiler and archiver are passed down from Autoconf,
so cross-compiling should work transparently
* `make clean` will also clean the Scintilla source tree
* there is no longer any need for "source bundles" as
tar balls also contain Scintilla/Scinterm now
* building from Git is not much more difficult than building
from a tar ball
* The versions of Scintilla/Scinterm embedded as submodules
already contain all the patches necessary (currently none are
necessary), so there's no need to have patch files in the
repository
* INSTALL instructions have been rewritten
* the --with-scintilla and --with-scinterm site-config options
have been kept. But they should be rarely necessary now.
|
|
* this allows us to remove the last patch to the Scintilla/Scinterm code
base (for the time being at least)
|
|
* allows us to remove most patches. One however is still necessary
(Scinterm Makefile bug!)
* TECO-style control code echoing is now set up using the SCI_SETREPRESENTATION message
* updated copyrights
* updated TODO
|
|
|
|
* list download archives in README instead
