* Hopefully makes the log easier to read in case of failures.
There may still be 2 runs concurrently since we build Curses and Gtk in parallel.
* Updated homepage.
* Ubuntu plucky builds are failing.
See https://launchpadlibrarian.net/765999455/buildlog_ubuntu-plucky-amd64.sciteco_2.3.0-0ppa1~plucky1_BUILDING.txt.gz
This may have been a spurious failure due to xvfb-run.
It may be less likely with --no-parallel.
Theoretically we could bump the Debian package version in order to test that,
but the PPA is practically not used by anybody anyway.

* 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.

* 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

* dh_testdir would sometimes cause problems on the PPA servers,
so we replaced it with an empty rule.
* We need to define the binary-arch and binary-indep targets
in order to recurse into the correct subdirectories.
I do not understand why this always worked on the Github runner
and sometimes even on the PPA servers.
Unfortunately, we cannot just call `dh binary-arch -B... -p...`
since that would call `dh_install -a` which overrides any `-p` (package),
thus trying to install the curses binaries from the Gtk build directory
and vice versa.

* fixed some Debian lintian warnings

* 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.

* Added a Freedesktop file - only as part of the debian package yet.
`make install` won't install a Desktop file since it would have to be
generated.
* Just like when installing manually, you can have a Curses and Gtk installation
side by side using the same .teco_ini.
* Common data between the Curses UI (sciteco-curses) and Gtk UI are in a new
architecture-independant package sciteco-common.
* The Gtk+ binaries are prefixed with `g` (gsciteco, gtedoc.tes, ggrosciteco.tes).
* Debian source and binary packages can be built using `./distribute.mk debian`
as usual.
It should also be possible to push everything to the PPA for the next release,
although that is not yet tested.

* Usually, Scintilla will now be built with -O2
* this can improve performance significantly over the standard Scintilla -Os
(up to 10%).
* this also allows link-time-optimizing both Scintilla and SciTECO
(which are linked statically) by adding -flto to CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS.
Link-time-optimization will both reduce the total binary size
and improve performance slightly since scintilla_send_message() can be
inlined.
An -O3 optimized Scintilla when linked with LTO results in an only 300kb
larger SciTECO binary.
* the highest possible optimization thus requires the following maintainer
flags on the ./configure command line:
CFLAGS="-O3 -mtune=native -march=native -flto"
CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mtune=native -march=native -flto"
LDFLAGS="-flto"
* Windows and Debian builds use link-time-optimization now.
On Windows - where we link in everything statically - building
the dependant libraries with -flto could improve performance
even more.
* Debian builds respect the default hardening flags of the build
server now. This should ensure that SciTECO is built for the
correct architecture at the recommended optimization level etc.
|
|
* it also sets the compatibility level to 7 which was required
when building for Ubuntu Lucid. This version cannot be supported
however since its libglib version is too old.
|
|
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.
|
|
so no additional --with-scintilla is necessary when building from
a source bundle
|
|
* prepared for upload to Ubuntu PPA
* debian package will not be in autoconf source distro
* will only build as a non-native package based on a source bundle
that contains scintilla, scinterm and has patches applied
