* expands to the value of $HOME (the env variable instead of
the register which currently makes a slight difference).
* supported for tab-completions
* supported for all file-name accepting commands.
The expansion is done centrally in StateExpectFile::done().
A new virtual method StateExpectFile::got_file() has been
introduced to pass the expanded/processed file name to
command implementations.
* sciteco(7) has been updated: There is now a separate section
on file name arguments and file name handling in SciTECO.
This information is important but has been scattered across
the document previously.
* optimized is_glob_pattern() in glob.h

appending to "$"
* these operations are unsupported and there is no benefit
in ignoring them silently. It only confused the user.

working directory
* FG stands for "Folder Go"
* FG behaves similar to a Unix shell `cd`.
Without arguments, it changes to the $HOME directory.
* The $HOME directory was previously only used by $SCITECOCONFIG on Unix.
Now it is documented on its own, since the HOME directory should also
be configurable on Windows - e.g. to adapt SciTECO to a MinGW or Cygwin
installation.
HOME is initialized just like the other environment variables.
This also means that now, the $HOME Q-Register is always defined
and can be used by platform-agnostic macros.
* FG uses a new kind of tab-completion: for directories only.
It would be annoying to complete the FG command after every
directory, so this tab-completion does not close the command
automatically. Theoretically, it would be possible to close
the command after completing a directory with no subdirectories,
but this is not supported currently.
* Filename arguments are no longer completed with " " if {} escaping
is in place as this brings no benefit. Instead no completion character
is inserted for this escape mode.
* "$" was mapped to the current directory to support an elegant way to
insert/get the current directory.
Also this allows the idiom "[$ FG...new_dir...$ ]$" for changing
the current directory temporarily.
* The Q-Register stack was extended to support restoring the string
part of special Q-Registers (that overwrite the default functionality)
when using the "[$" and "]$" commands.
* fixed minor typos (american spelling)

out beyond empty arguments
* it was annoying not to be able to rub out anything with ^W if the current string
argument was empty.
* Now, the special file name and string argument handling for ^W is effective
only if the current argument is non-empty, else we fall back to the rub-out-command
behaviour.
* So now, if you press ^W in a string argument, it is rubbed out until empty and
on the next ^W press, the entire command will be rubbed out.
|
|
* the rubout/reinsert-word behaviour of misc. string arguments
is suboptimal for file name arguments as it depends on Scintilla's
word characters.
By default, the directory separators are not considered word
characters, but this could be changed by the user.
* The behaviour of ^W in file name arguments is now fixed and
independant from the Scintilla configuration:
It always rubs out or re-inserts one hierarchy level of the
file name.
|
|
As SciTECO can only edit regular files (or symlinks to regular files),
we can exclude directories from the list of files matched by <EB> glob
patterns.
|
|
* EN may now be used for matching file names (similar to fnmatch(3)).
This is used to check the current buffers file extension in the
lexer configuration macros instead of using expensive Q-Register
manipulations.
This halves the overall startup time - it is now acceptable even
with the current amount of lexer configurations.
* EN may now be used for checking file types.
session.tes has been simplified.
* BREAKS macro portability (EN now has 2 string arguments).
* The Globber class has been extended to allow filtering of
glob results by file type.

template base class constructors
* v4.4 is still officially supported by SciTECO (see INSTALL)
* Ubuntu Lucid appears to use v4.4 by default and lucid is till
supported by PPA. So this should fix building SciTECO in its PPA
for Ubuntu Lucid.
|
|
* If TERM is set but wrong, it might still fail. Errors are reported now.
* If $TERM is unset or empty, we refuse to start the interactive mode.
Unfortunately, we cannot easily let curses decide this since
newterm() does not work as expected.
* However this solution should be quite good: Either $TERM is empty - then
batch mode will work but not interactive mode.
Or it is not empty, then it is checked by the first call to newterm()
when initializing batch mode.
The chance of starting up interactive mode with a wrong $TERM
or in head-less environments is now quite low.
* This is most likely responsible for the PPA build issues.

expression stack
this was probably a regression from d94b18819ad4ee3237c46ad43a962d0121f0c3fe
and should not be in v0.5.
The return value of Expressions::find_op() must always be checked since
it might not find the operator, returning 0 (it used to be 0).
A zero index pointed to uninitialized memory - in the worst case it
pointed to invalid memory resulting in segfaults.
Too large indices were also not handled.
This was probably responsible for recent PPA build issues.
Valgrind/memcheck reports this error but I misread it as a bogus warning.
I took the opportunity to clean up the ValueStack implementation and
made it more robust by adding a few assertions.
ValueStacks now grow from large to small addresses (like stack data
structures usually do).
This means, there is no need to work with negative indices into the
stack pointer.
To reduce the potential for invalid stack accesses, stack indices are
now unsigned and have origin 0. Previously, all indices < 1 were
faulty but weren't checked.
Also, I added some minor optimizations.

Unfortunately, I cannot really test this curses port
since it is not supported by Windows 2000 (missing AttachConsole() API)
and it does not run very well in Wine.
Under Wine, it does not require the LINES and COLS variable to be set.
However, endwin() and the refresh later on result in a very unusable
state of operation. I cannot currently check whether this is true on
Windows XP or later.

If there was a rubbed out command line and you tab completed
a file name in a string argument (TAB in ^G mode), the immediate
editing modifier was automatically reset.
This still happens if nothing could be tab completed and you
type a few characters and try to complete again (since ^G mode
will be reset). If this feature is used often, the user should perhaps
define a function key as ^G^I^G.
|
|
* fnkeys.tes has been updated to enable the command line
editing macros (cursor keys, etc.) only in the "start" state.
This avoids the annoying effect of inserting the macros
into string arguments where they have no effect and must be
rubbed out again.

when SciTECO interactive mode is started, the curses prog
mode is restored automatically.
Therefore it should already be set up correctly (after SciTECO
batch mode initialization).
This fixes console glitches on MinGW/PDCurses.

* activated via bit 4 of the ED flag (enabled by default)
* automatic EOL guessing on file loading and translation to LFs.
* works with files that have inconsistent EOL sequences.
* automatic translation to original EOL sequences on file saving
* works with inconsistent EOL sequences in the buffer.
This should usually not happen if the file was read in with
automatic EOL translation enabled.
* also works with the EC and EG commands
* performance is OK, depending on the file being translated.
When reading files with UNIX EOLs, the overhead is minimal
typically-sized files. For DOS EOLs the overhead is larger
but still acceptable.
* Return (line feed) is now an immediate editing command.
This centralizes EOL sequence insertion.
Later, other features like auto-indent could be added to
the editing command.
* get_eol() has been moved to main.cpp (now called
get_eol_seq()
* Warn if file ownership could not be preserved when
saving files.
* IOView has been almost completely rewritten based
on GIOChannels. The EOL translation code is also in IOView.

* I now understand better why the old initialization worked ;-)
By not calling initscr(), we could prevent some terminal setup
and screen clearing usually performed which would interfere with
with having a clean stdout stream.
However the Curses screen was still basically attached to the
terminal.
* That's why there was screen flickering in urxvt when calling sciteco
(even in batch mode). Also that's why calling batch-mode SciTECO
did not work from other Curses programs (including SciTECO).
* The new implementation directs Curses at /dev/null, so it will
completely stay away from /dev/tty.
* /dev/tty is associated with the Curses screen only when the
interactive mode is initialized. This works elegantly via
freopen() - there's no need to create a new Curses screen.
* This does currently not work on PDCurses where the batch mode
will still initscr() followed by endwin().
I should investigate how newterm() behaves there - especially
on Windows.

* sciteco.ico contains a 16 color 16px, a 255 color 32px and
a true color 48px version of the icon.
The first ones are good for legacy Windows versions like 2000,
while the latter one should be preferred by Windows >= 7.
* Also added the 48px version as a PNG for Linux.
But it is not installed currently, as there is no standardized
place for it and it wouldn't do much good in /usr/share/sciteco.

* It is still useful to have this in macros since you may want to
work with non-normalized file names.
For instance, env variables (including $SCITECOPATH and $SCITECOCONFIG)
may (and will probably) include backward-slash separators on Windows
|
|
* on Windows, this register contained backward slashes. This means
that macros working with that register had to cope with both
forward and backward slashes.
* The file names are still displayed in the native style by the UI
* This approach also has disadvantages: What if the user wants
to insert the current file name somewhere where "\" is expected?
However, this seems to be an unlikely case and the use can still
replace the "/" with "\" again.
* Avoid some virtual method calls in QRegisterBufferInfo
|
|
* This adds the -all-static libtool option and can be used to
link a static sciteco binary (or at least link in as few as possible
dynamic libraries)
* Esp. useful on MinGW to link in all dependant libraries (glib, libintl,
libiconv, libpdcurses, ...) statically.
A static .exe is much smaller than a dynamically linked plus all the
DLLs and is easier to relocate.
* This does not guarantee that ALL libraries are linked in dynamically.
E.g. on MinGW, the sciteco.exe will still link to MSVCRT and the Windows
system DLLs, but they already ship with Windows.
* On MinGW, even a static build will still require the gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe
which is used by glib to implement g_spawn with redirection.
We cannot get around that.
* It would be better to let this be decided by the package builder using
the standard env variables like LDFLAGS. However, this does not seem to
work well with libtool. It IS possible to define LDFLAGS="-all-static" when
calling make but this approach sucks.

* it is now redrawn once after each key press, even if the
info line has not changed.
* This is because Interface::update_info() is called very often
in interactive mode, so it makes more sense to redraw it after user
interaction (where even unnecessary delays are not noticed so easily),
than thousands of times in a macro.
* This is especially important since InterfaceCurses::update_info() now
also sets the Window title on PDCurses - this is a very costly operation.
* The same optimization was applied to InterfaceGtk where it is probably
greatly responsible for the sluggishness of the UI.
The GTK+ changes are currently UNTESTED.
|
|
* dirname and basename calculations can be done easier with
the new file_get_dirname_len()
* platform-dependant derive_dir_separator() function has been removed
|
|
ioview.h
this function is very useful in other places as well
(e.g. command line tab completion)
|
|
* use g_strconcat() instead of g_strdup_printf()
* InterfaceGtk::info_update() now longer has an arbitrary
255 byte limit on the length of the info line.
|
|
* Globbing without directory (e.g. EN*.cpp$) introduced a "./" into the
expanded file names.
It no longer does that.
* The expanded file names will have the exact same directory component
(if any) as the glob pattern.
So on Windows, the directory separators in the list of expanded files
is exactly as the user requested.
* Also fixes lexers.tes on Windows because the script assumes forward
slashes.
|
|
* this relied on Curses' control character drawing on Curses.
However it treats tab and line feed differently than other
control characters, so registers like "^Mfoo" could not be displayed
properly.
Even if we can configure Curses to display them correctly, we need
a "canonicalized", flat form of strings for other purposes (like setting
window titles. This is form is different from the formatting used
for command lines which may change anyway once we introduce Scintilla
mini buffers.
* therefore String::canonicalize_ctl() was introduced
* also set window title on PDCurses

defined
|
|
* this makes them absolute and also resolves links on Unix
* macros can now assume the corresponding Q-regs to be absolute
* Currently this does not make a big difference since the
working directory of the SciTECO process cannot be changed.
Once I implement a command to change the working dir, this
is essential.
|
|
* The PACKAGE_URL_DEV is also mentioned in --help output and sciteco(1)
|
|
|
|
* It is no longer possible to accidentally open save point files
of the same or another SciTECO instance when typing something like
EB*.cpp$
* The use of a trailing ~ is common among editors. These files
will be recognized more easily as temporary by users.
* People will often already have VCS ignore rules for files with
trailing tilde. Therefore SciTECO savepoints will often be
already ignored by VCS.
* Since they still have a unique ".teco" prefix, they will not
be confused by other programs as backup files.
* Also mention in sciteco(1) that save point files are hidden on
Windows.

We used g_path_get_dirname() which does not always return strict prefixes
of the input file name. For file names without directory, it returns "."
(the current directory). This is useful for passing that directory to
functions expecting a proper directory (like g_dir_open()) but was
unsuitable for building file name candidates for autocompletion.
Therefore, we tried to determine if the dirname is a prefix of the filename.
This however failed for "hidden" file names beginning with dot.
All in all it is easier to calculate our own directory name based on
the previously calculated basename than to handle the current-directory
case with g_path_get_dirname(). Now we'll get "" for the current directory,
so we have to handle the empty-string-is-current-dir case.

* for historic reasons, the backspace key can be transmitted as
^H by the terminal. Some terminal emulators might do that - these
are fixed by this commit.
* Use CTL_KEY('H') instead of standard C '\b' as the former is less
ambiguous given the confusion around the backspace character.
|
|
CTL_KEY_ESC_STR
* the reason for the CTL_KEY() macro is to get the control character
resulting from a CTRL+Key press -- at least this is how SciTECO
presents these key presses.
It is also a macro and may be resolved to a constant expression,
so it can be used in switch-case statements.
Sometimes it is clearer to use standard C escape sequences (like '\t').
* CTL_KEY('[') for escape is hard to read, so I always used '\x1B' which
is even more cryptic.
|
|
* the popup resetting was done after character insertion, so typing
0EB would clear the popup immediately
* the new implementation is functionally equivalent to the
old pre-reinsertion-commandline-handling, by resetting the popup
based on the immediate editing command before insertion
|
|
* the Curses window associated with a Scinterm Scintilla view is
INDEED deleted automatically by scintilla_delete()
* The Scinterm documentation is WRONG on this.
* This has been broken in the SciTECO code for a long time.
Perhaps, for some obscure reason, this does not cause any
problems on NCurses. It results in instant segfaults on
MinGW/PDCurses though.
