New in HippoEDIT 1.50.813 (Aug 10, 2013)

Extension of the Text Editor by new features like:
Text Highlighting - free style text highlighting of any text block (like in Microsoft Word). Highlighting is not syntax dependent and persisted between sessions.
Colored Indent guides feature that paint indent guides in multi colors, making it easier following code structure. Find more on wiki.
Colored Braces feature simplifies locating of corresponding open/close brace in complex logical or arithmetic blocks. Find more on wiki.
Scope exists display scope exit indicator on margin for syntax constructs that lead flow to leave code scope (as return, break, continue etc). Find more on wiki.
With End Tag Annotations editor displays comments like annotations, after scope close tag (like “}” in JavaScript or “END” in SQL), helping you to track the scope is closed. The annotation contains details about open tag (as function name, logical construction etc). More info on wiki.
Additional Smart Highlighting styles makes it possible to have multi style permanent smart highlighting displayed in code in same time. This is added in addition to automatic, not permanent smart highlight.
Interactive page width changing gives simple way for changing of the page width, by simple drag & drop of the page margin border.
Multi key shortcuts – allows to define shortcuts combined from two keystrokes (like Ctrl + T, X) and give you a freedom in creating of the keyboard maps of any complexity (like in Visual Studio or vim/emacs) with no limit on shortcuts count.
Evaluate… command allows you to do evaluation of arithmetic expression in-place and get result automatically inserted after typing “=” sign or by explicit shortcut.Evaluation Informer shows result of the selected expression in floating tooltip on hover.
Enhancements for Search Results widow. The search results representation switched from plain output to tree output. You can have now more than one search result displayed at once. Results are grouped by file names and lines. It is editable - you can delete results you are not interesting in. You can copy search matches to another search results window or into text editor. Visited matches are indicated in different color. The searched text is highlighted in line preview. You can search among of search results.
Spell Checker – based on Hunspell engine. Spell checker that recognize comments, strings, commented code, file names, URLs, word duplicates, and can check mixed languages. With interactive and background spell checking. Can be accessed with toolbar buttons or menu entries in “Edit” sub menu. If word is misspelled or duplicated, and marked in text, you can correct it in place using context menu.
Macro Support.Support for recording/suspending/replaying of macros. Recording of commands, searches, editing functions, mouse movements and activity in other applications. Easy convert from macro to HippoEDIT tool script, using Macro Conversion plugin.
Scripting support. Support of embedded scripting, based on Microsoft Active Scripting technology that enables HippoEDIT to use most of the scripting languages available (JavaScript, VBScript, Python, Perl, Lua etc) for writing automation scripts. You can write as straightforward scripts that work as tools or resident scripts that acts as plugin. Find more on wiki.
Command interpreter/Command console. Possibility to not only catch output from tool, but also to forward input to them. You can have more than one Output window and run several tool in interactive mode simultaneously.
On-line Repository. Possibility to see directly in the HE Syntax Setting, list of the syntax schemes available in online repository (in addition to already installed). The online syntax is downloaded and installed the same way as you activate pre-installed syntax. If you open a file with unknown extension or syntax, HippoEDIT checks on server for suitable schema and may suggest you suitable schema available online. Online lists of plugins, color schemes, file templates and keyboard schemes are also exposed. You can also manage all available and inserted extensions with help of new Update Manager.
Internal Plug-in Framework. HippoEDIT now exposed very rich automation API that allow you to extend any application part or function. You can add own menus, toolbars, status indicators, panels, syntax highlighting, code template handlers, etc. Of course basic functions for text manipulation, clipboard, search, persistence, dialog creation are also there. Some existing HippoEDIT components were converted to plugins (as File Explorer, Project Explorer, Bookmark Manager, Search Results and Output Window) than allows you to disable them, if not needed and speed up the application. In addition numerous plugins (as binary as scripting based) were added: Spell Checker, Emmet, Alignment, Formatting Tools, JSBeautifier, JSHint, Numbering and more.
Enhancements for Project Explorer. You can create Virtual (search) folders that reflect file system directories and support file mask filters. It is also possible to embed other projects as subfolders in the current project (aka solution) with propagation of changes done on embedded project to original project file. Now it is a built-in plugin and can be switched off, if you do not need it.
Windows 7 support: Task Bar Progress Bar, Task Bar Jump Lists, Task Bar Quick Actions, Task Bar Thumbnails for open tab windows with preview.
Tools Enhancements. With 1.50 you can register tool for auto execution and it will be started on Application Start, After Document Opened/Created/Saved or Before Document Closed. You can configure tool to have own Output window with specific color scheme or can tell tool to forward output to tooltip, clipboard, and replace selected text or in new document. All fields that allow template entering, support in-place auto completion of template arguments.
User variables for Workspace, Project or Global usages. With multiple, switchable configurations and configuration selection toolbar.
Other significant enchantments that are not so visible by make huge difference:
Optimization for multi core processors. A lot of algorithms were adopted for best speed as: search, load from files, word wrap etc.
Recognition/marking of not open close tags added, to help you find errors faster.
Memory optimization for large files, allows you to open larger files.
Persistent states allow keeping your Undo history, Clipboard content, untitled documents etc. between sessions.
Lead indenting for wrapped lines improve readability oft he text.
Support for indent based (Python) outlining and dynamic scopes (XML) outlining

Changes for Quick Search bar: regular expression can be used, check box moved to edit field menu etc.
Status bar now keeps message type color till next message
Enchantments for tooltip formatting and Quick Info tool tips added
Better mouse support: horizontal scrolling with scrolling wheel, back/forward navigation for XButtons, high precision mouse’s support added

New in HippoEDIT 1.49.826 (Oct 10, 2011)

What is new:
Added %UserDir% tag for referring user directory (directory where all user data has been installed. As \data, \workspaces *.config, for portable mode it equal to %AppDir%)
Added Permanent Smart Highlight mode. If ON, smart highlighting is not automatically removed with cursor movement or text edit, but toggled if new word is smart highlighted. By default disabled. Controlled by new XML flag PermanentSmartHighlight
Already used shortcuts indicated in red color, during shortcut typing in all shortcut windows (fex in Keyboard Settings). So there is no need to press Assign any more to get message that shortcut is already in use
Auto complete in Find fields.
Browse.. command added to Tools Arguments menu.
Check for file update before save to avoid overwriting
Command added for opening New Browser window. If called from within another browser window duplicate window open.
Default method for tab/spaces conversion for Auto Mode: controls which mode to select, if document content is not sufficient for statistics (fex for new documents). Default, Tabs are allowed. Set settings.xml -> false to use space mode by default for auto mode.
Disable auto conversion of tabs to space on save as XML flag. Set settings.xml -> true to enable once more. The value only relevant for Tab modes which does not allow tabs.
Extra menu entry added to document context menu, if all toolbars and main menu are hidden, same as for Full Screen Mode. Already several users tried such "minimalistic" mode and were not able to find way back
File paths saved relative to working directory of the project, if it is defined. If not defined, paths are relative to project location, as logic before
From now on it is possible to disable usage of some Clipboard Formats with XML flag in settings.xml.
From now on it is possible to use current document window background color as background color for Overview Bar. By default disabled. Controlled by new XML flag OverviewBarDrawBackColor
Move cursor down after using Edit.Selection[Un]Comment.
New XML flag to show asterisk (*) beside modified file names in Document Tabs, Menus and Tool Windows (fex if you do not like only color indication). To enable add this true to HippoEDIT.config. Default is false, so the entry is not inside
Next/Previous Page Shortcut == Edit.PageBreakNext/Prev. Check keyboard settings for this. No default shortcut, no menu entry.
Now it is possible to see style stack (from top to bottom all intersecting styles) for cursor position. To get this information you need to press Ctrl+Alt+Shift and hover the mouse over target text. Mostly helpful for people developing their own syntax schemes
On drop of the folder in Project Explorer, not only add project name, but call per-filled Add Folder dialog
Set Initial directory of the File open/save dialog based on Initial Directory from current tool settings.
Updated and not modified documents from now on reloaded automatically by default. Controlled by new XML flag AutoReloadNonModified
File information storage location (where file bookmarks, outlining state, cursor position etc. should be stored). For 1.49 as XML setting and from 1.50 as UI setting.
0 - File state information stored in hidden satellite file ({file_name}.heinf) in same directory. Fast way
1 - File state information stored in hidden directory shared file.heinf located in same directory. Slower. This depends on amount of files with state information in same directory.
2 - File state information stored in current workspace file (so, workspace specific). Slowest, Depends on amount of files with state information. Can make generic workspace loading slower.
3 - File state information stored in alternative file stream inside of same source file. Only for NTFS 5 and higher (Win 2000). The state information will be lost if file is copied on file system different from NTFS. Fast. No additional files used

Formatting of the source is lost when pasting in MS Word or Outlook (in HTML format).
From now on, extended encoding detection disabled by default for all source files, but left for all text files. Reason - too many false detection.
If document was changed by another app and then reloaded - user encoding is lost.
Important - changed behavior! Fresh installation now sets Viewer workspace by default equal to "default". This should decrease number of support questions about Multiple Instances.

Important - changed behavior. From now on, if HippoEDIT started with passed file name as command line parameter, but without explicit workspace name, default is to use viewer workspace, but not default as before. Such convention should help to reduce numbers of problems, when HippoEDIT started with Windows Open with ... command and opens all old file from your default workspace. If you want to add file from command line to default workspace - use --workspace=default

Incorrect encoding in Output window
Indentation guides on blank lines.
Missing menu icon and application icon in help item configuration dialog on 64 bit XP.
No selection report in the status bar, when using Extend/Shrink selection.
Helper menu also available for all kinds of Save dialogs in HE. Can be found near View button in menu, top right corner of dialog. It contains as you favorite folders, added in File Explorer as some frequently used paths as: Current File directory, Last Used directory (previous dialog calls), HE Working Directory . If paths are duplicated or equal to currently selected in dialog they are hidden.
Numerous fixes for keyword search in connected help (*.chm) files
Opening a hyper link in HE spawns one extra window.
Output console now correctly process '' (VK_BACK) characters, which often used to show interactivity in DOS program
Pair close symbol (close bracket) is not completed, if open pair symbol (open bracket) equals to a template key. This helps to apply special indenting rules for example for completion of {} to split it in two lines.
Problem with multi execution of same template. For example for C based, inserting of /// causes repeat request for inserting after first insertion. This makes it difficult to enter new line after this. So, delay after insertion was doubled increased (also was bug that tooltip was shown immediately), so now should work better. Also new xml flag added to enable suggestion of the Code hint directly after insertion of previous one
Problems for scope intersections. This can happen in some cases in multi syntax documents or if preprocessor directives are used. Then you can start scope in one PHP block or (preprocessor block) and close language scope in another preprocessor block. Such situations were not resolved correctly. Now new directive for scopes added (decoration="true", default = false) that mark such scopes and allow to process intersection better
Problems with Scrollbar Left arrow (scroll on 0 pos jumps to right position)
Random crashes when using collapsed outlining areas when editing
Save As does not use settings for initial directory from Tools->Options->General.
Scroll to the end of line (not matching in the screen size) works wrong, if before visibility some editor elements were modified (line numbers, outlining margin etc)

Template processing after Cancel in %InteractiveFile% is not stopped any more.
Tools: Command with %var% as path => no Icon.
View... button for new keyboard schemes does not work
When bookmark added and then disabled and after removed, bookmark icon doesn't disappear
Word selection works wrong with extended ASCII set (for example when used some Polish symbols)
Wrong selection of the paragraph, when complete paragraph is not visible.
New:
Added configuration for visual editor features under margin context menu. Now if you right click on selection margin, outlining margin, word wrap margin or ruler you can access some of the properties available in main menu View->Editor
Added drop down menus for Save, Paste, Find, Copy, Cut, Find Next buttons on standard toolbar, to simplify and speed up access for frequently used functions
Auto Open Code completion list on first word char typed. Controlled by Options->Code Completion->Open completion automatically after... To emulate Visual Studio behavior set delay to 50 msec. Before AutoOpen works only after hierarchy separator
Auto Indent of the open scope tag when typed. Same as was available before for closing and middle tags
Automatically execute Paste New ... if Ctrl + V called on empty frame.
New Commands:
File.SaveSelection - save current selection (selected text) to a file
File.AppendSelection - same as File.SaveSelection but do not replace old file content, but append to it
File.InsertFile - inserts file content in current cursor position
File.SaveCopyAs... added.
Data files installation mode introduced. Now all settings, syntax files, workspaces etc can be installed (and later loaded) from three different locations: Current User Application Data, All Users Application Data and Application folder (old style, so called Portable mode). Default for new users is Current Application Data. For existing users old location (for most it portable mode). Once selected, mode cannot be changed. To install to new location, you need to do full uninstall first. This option should fix numerous bugs with UAC when running HippoEDIT on Vista/Windows 64 bit
If some tools have set Capture output flag, Cancel button is also dynamically added on Tools toolbar
New template tag added %?%. If found in template text causes HE to show for review/modify complete template with all expanded tags before explicit template usage. Can be used everywhere where templates are used: in tools, help items or editor.
New XML flag added, for controlling delay of tooltip display in completion list: ComplListToolTipDelay. Default is 1500 ms
If internal browser used as help browser, Esc brings you back to place where context language help was called
Circle navigation in completion list (when you press up on top element you jump to last, when on last and down you jump to first). By default it is disabled, but can be enabled with one more xml flag true.
Customizing of images for styles and margin for every syntax schema or family of schemes (based on schema inheritance). For this two new properties were introduced for schema: StyleBitmap, MarginBitmap.
As an example (comes with default installation) you can check css_ms_spec.xml and c++_ms_spec.xml, images are in datasyntaximages sub folder
Option in installer: Add HippoEDIT directory to PATH. Just add path to hippoedit.exe to PATH environment variable, that you can call it from command line from everywhere later. PATH is also restored by uninstaller.
Output panel now support any kind of line break styles (CRLF, LFCR, CR, LF).
Restart HippoEDIT function. Now if you close HE in any way, keeping buttons Ctrl + Shift pressed, application would be restarted with same parameters were used for start initial instance.

Tools from current project are also dynamically shown on Tools toolbar.
Transpose all lines in block (as an extension for Transpose Lines) when multi line selection done.
Output support input. Try to add as tool cmd.exe to get integrated DOS console:
Now pause in bat files can be used
You can edit last typed command
You can have special exit command defined for tool that is send to tool when you call Cancel tool from HippoEDIT. Not available in UI yet, but can be defined in as xml attribute for tool in *_user.xml. exit_cmd="exit" fex. Would be in UI in 1.50 probably. For cmd.exe exit as exit command automatically defined.
You can paste commands (or commands sets) to output (now and input) window
You can type commands directly in Output window

Added OpenFiles and OpenFilesInteractive template tags. OpenFiles inserts list of open file paths, OpenFilesInteractive does the same but brings dialog with list of open files where you can adjust list by selecting/deselecting items.
Auto Code Templates added. See Options->Code Completion->Auto Code Templates. To simplify usage of the templates for standard language construction, HE can from this version automatically create templates from style definitions and scope tags (when this makes sense). Auto Templates are shown in the list of the templates for syntax, but not saved until changed. As far user has changed description or text for auto template, it would be converted to user template and saved. User template has priority over auto templates, and so, auto template would not be created, if user template with same key already exists.
Auto-Hide menu function. When enabled main menu behaves like in IE7. Normally it is hidden, but shown after pressing left Alt Key and closed after executing action in menu or exit form tracking mode
Automatic Crash Dump generation when exception happens in HippoEDIT. In case of crash, editor dumps current call stack, information about modules, zip this all, and opens dialog, where you can enter comments and send collected data to HippoEDIT support. Some problems still could not be catched, but this functionality should simplify finding bugs in all other situations.
Auto-Recovery for open and modified files added. Now if editor or system crashes and you have not saved your changes, they should be restored on next editor start. Enabled by flag in Options->Editor. Time interval to save can be adjusted in settings.xml.
Auto Word wrap is disabled for files bigger then N Megs for improving performance on loading big files. Controlled by XML parameter General->WordWrapLimit value in settings.xml. Default is 2048 Kb. 0 - disable.
Changed areas navigation. New commands added for navigation between changed areas: Edit.NextChangedArea, Edit.PreviousChangedArea, Edit.ListChangedArea. Appropriate menu entries added to Navigation menu.
Code templates now can be shown in Completion List box. Controlled by flag Options->Code Completion->Show in completion list->Code Templates.
Command to show menu with available code templates - Edit.ShowTemplates.
Contrast ratio control. Checks that ration between text and background color in text editor is enough for comfortable reading. If it is not like this, editor would try to adjust text color to keep contrast ratio as desired. This can lead then to text color change. Useful in scenarios, then display of Nesting Levels used. Controlled by property in Options->Color schemes.
Jumping to first occurrence of the word in current top level scope on Smart Navigate.
Nesting Levels. New visual property for view to see nesting level of scopes in code. Can be enabled in View->Editor->Nesting Levels. Color is defined in desource_spec.xml, so by default, you can use it in PHP or JavaScript, but not in HTML.
New functions for toolbars (None But Main, All, None, Reset Preferences). Reset Preferences - resets user preferences to allow automatic toolbar behavior (show/hide on frame switch etc).
Now it is possible to draw separators for header and footer on printing (optional). Enabled in Options->Print->Page Layout.
Portable mode - Enabled as by command line parameter (--portable) as by xml setting in hippoedit.config (true). In this mode HippoEDIT would not create any temp files on exit (they are used to speed up loading of editor next time and for user file preferences).
Preview of the expanded template tag in completion list description added. Details...
Shortcut to show/hide main menu (by default Alt+F10) for cases when user hides all toolbars and menus. Details...
Uninstall Feedback option added to uninstaller. Propose to visit Uninstall Center and leave feedback. This is enabled by default.
New in XML Schema:
New definition for style - Word, in addition to Keyword and Block. It catches any word (continues group of symbols from Words node in Specification) which meet defined conditions. Conditions can be lead_with or trail_with. lead_with - word leaded by character sequence (case sensitive). trail_with - word trailed by character sequence (case sensitive). You can have more than one Word definition, in Words aggregation inside style. Word definitions are inheritable and working as OR condition. To have AND condition you can use lead_with and trail_with in same Word definition.
In addition to usage of lead_with or trail_with in Word definition, you can also use it in Keyword definitions. Or placing them on aggregation level (Keywords node) or for every Keyword node. The logic for lead_with and trail_with is same as for Words. As example can be checked xml_spec.xml. BTW this extension helps to define normal syntax highlighting rules for XML.
Style property first_pos as alternative for start_pos used in definition of the Block, when you want to specify first non white space position in the line. start_pos is absolute, and count all symbols. Can be used, for example for specifying comment style starting if found on before any non-white space character (inno_spec.xml).
Keyword property descr. Allows you specify details for keyword, displayed on hovering or by request, when QuickInfo (Ctrl+Shift+Space) called on some keyword. Don’t forget also about pattern property: with it you can specify, how keyword should be inserted by code completion. You can also use template tags inside. %CurerntWord% tag in this context means keyword text.
New syntax schemas:
Schemas for FORTRAN and Bash.
Syntax schema for Clipper with code and file templates added to installation.
Schemas for Basic and PHP updated.
Schema for iTCL added.
