What's new in RegexSearch 4.3

Apr 1, 2021
  • Added support for Windows UNC path names.

New in RegexSearch 4.2 (Sep 16, 2020)

  • Changes:
  • The purpose of this release is to synchronise library code across all Blank
  • Aspect projects. It has no significant changes from the previous release.

New in RegexSearch 4.1 (Nov 5, 2017)

  • Bug: Since Java 9, if the 'Select text when focus is gained' preference has the value 'Yes', the selection of a text field remains highlighted after the field loses keyboard focus.

New in RegexSearch 4.0 (Nov 3, 2017)

  • This release has been made primarily to synchronise the Java packages that are common to several Blank Aspect projects.
  • There is now an option for the results of a search to include a list of the files in which the search target was not found.

New in RegexSearch 3.3 (Sep 28, 2013)

  • Bug fixes:
  • Bug: If the general.showUnixPathnames configuration property was true, the user's home directory at the start of a pathname was not replaced with "~" when the pathname was displayed.
  • Other changes:
  • The default directory for the configuration file under Windows has beenchanged from %USERPROFILE%\.blankaspect\regexSearch to %APPDATA%\blankaspect\regexSearch, where %USERPROFILE% and %APPDATA% are system environment variables. (The default directory for the configuration file under Linux/UNIX is unchanged). If you are updating RegexSearch and you want to keep your old configuration, you should move the old configuration file to the new directory.
  • There is now an installer that can be used to install the contents of the executable distribution to user-specified directories. The installer will replace any existing file that has the same name as an installed file except for a configuration file, whose properties will be preserved if they conflict with the properties of the new file.

New in RegexSearch 3.2 (Aug 19, 2013)

  • A bug that could cause the values of some configuration properties to be saved incorrectly has been fixed. (Previously, characters such as "&" that correspond to predefined entities in XML were escaped twice in the value attribute of properties when a configuration file was saved.)

New in RegexSearch 3.1 (May 9, 2013)

  • Bug fixes:
  • In the previous release, file types were listed in the wrong order in file-selection dialogs as a consequence of a change to the behavior of the dialogs in Java SE 7. This has been corrected.
  • Other changes:
  • A new configuration property, general.selectTextOnFocusGained, controls whether the text of an editable field is automatically selected when the field gains focus.

New in RegexSearch 3.0 (Mar 4, 2013)

  • The major version number of RegexSearch has been changed to reflect the change in the required version of Java. The last release of RegexSearch to run under Java SE 6 (Java 1.6) was version 2.12.
  • Bug fixes:
  • When a file is transferred to the application by dragging and dropping, an icon is displayed under the mouse cursor to indicate the the kind of transfer. The icon now correctly shows a Copy operation instead of a Move operation.
  • Other changes:
  • A keyboard focus indicator in the form of a dashed border has been provided for drop-down lists because the old mechanism (highlighting the selected item) didn't work on some platforms.
  • All the text in a text field is automatically selected when the field acquires keyboard focus. This applies regardless of whether the focus is transferred by mouse or by keyboard.

New in RegexSearch 2.11 (Jun 11, 2011)

  • In versions 2.9 and 2.10, the saved size of the target and replacement editors (the appearance.parameterEditorSize property) was calculated from the size the target editor's text area, which resulted in large target and replacement editors if the target editor contained many lines of text when the application exited. This bug has been fixed by calculating the saved size of the editors from the size of target editor's viewport.

New in RegexSearch 2.8 (Oct 10, 2009)

  • The control panel has been moved from the main window into a separate
  • dialog box in order to make the program easier to use with small
  • displays. The control dialog can be explicitly hidden and made
  • visible, and automatically hidden during a search.
  • The configuration file has been renamed to regexSearch-config.xml
  • so that its suffix reflects the type of the file.

New in RegexSearch 2.7 (Oct 10, 2009)

  • Bug fixes:
  • No longer crashes if all the fields of a font configuration property are empty. (Bug introduced in version 2.6.)

New in RegexSearch 2.6 (Oct 10, 2009)

  • Bug fixes:
  • Include and exclude filters that have a pathname wildcard after a
  • Windows drive specifier (eg, "C:***.txt") now work correctly. (Bug
  • introduced in version 2.2.)
  • The main window location configuration property is set correctly when
  • the application is closed. (Bug introduced in version 2.5.)

New in RegexSearch 2.5 (Oct 10, 2009)

  • Bug fixes:
  • The program no longer crashes when there is no current file set (ie,
  • the file-set index is at the end of the list) and a file or directory
  • is dragged and dropped onto the main panel.
  • The main window location configuration property is set correctly if
  • the window is minimised when the application is closed.
