New in Scite 4.0.1 (Oct 23, 2017)

New in Scite 4.0.0 Unstable (Aug 16, 2017)

This is an unstable release with changes to interfaces used for lexers and platform access. Some more changes may occur to internal and external interfaces before stability is regained with 4.1.0.
Uses C++14 features. Requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2017, GCC 7, and Clang 4.0 or newer.
Support dropped for GTK+ versions before 2.24.
The lexer interfaces ILexer and ILexerWithSubStyles, along with additional style metadata methods, were merged into ILexer4. Most lexers will need to be updated to match the new interfaces.
The IDocumentWithLineEnd interface was merged into IDocument.
The platform layer interface has changed with unused methods removed, a new mechanism for reporting events, removal of methods that take individual keyboard modifiers, and removal of old timer methods.
Style metadata may be retrieved from lexers that support this through the SCI_GETNAMEDSTYLES, SCI_NAMEOFSTYLE, SCI_TAGSOFSTYLE, and SCI_DESCRIPTIONOFSTYLE APIs.
The Cocoa platform layer uses Automatic Reference Counting (ARC).
The default encoding in Scintilla is UTF-8.
An SCN_AUTOCSELECTIONCHANGE notification is sent when items are highlighted in an autocompletion or user list.
The data parameter to ILoader::AddData made const. Bug #1955.
SciTE's embedded Lua interpreter updated to Lua 5.3.
SciTE allows event handlers to be arbitrary callables, not just functions. Feature #1190.
SciTE allows user.shortcuts to be defined with symbolic Scintilla messages like 'Ctrl+L|SCI_LINEDELETE|'.
The Matlab lexer treats 'end' as a number rather than a keyword when used as a index. This also stops incorrect folding. Bug #1951.
The Matlab folder implements "fold", "fold.comment", and "fold.compact" properties. Bug #1965.
The Rust lexer recognizes 'usize' numeric literal suffixes. Bug #1919.
Ensure redraw when application changes overtype mode so caret change visible even when not blinking. Notify application with SC_UPDATE_SELECTION when overtype changed - previously sent SC_UPDATE_CONTENT.
Fix drawing failure when in wrap mode for delete to start/end of line which affects later lines but did not redraw them. Also fixed drawing for wrap mode on GTK+ 2.x. Bug #1949.
On GTK+ fix drawing problems including incorrect scrollbar redrawing and flickering of text. Bug #1876.
On Linux, both for GTK+ and Qt, the default modifier key for rectangular selection is now Alt. This is the same as Windows and macOS. This was changed from Ctrl as window managers are less likely to intercept Alt+Drag for moving windows than in the past.
On Cocoa, fix doCommandBySelector but avoid double effect of 'delete' key. Bug #1958.
On Qt, the updateUi signal includes the 'updated' flags. No updateUi signal is sent for focus in events. These changes make Qt behave more like the other platforms.
On Qt, dropping files on Scintilla now fires the SCN_URIDROPPED notification instead of inserting text.
On Qt, focus changes send the focusChanged signal. Bug #1957.
On Qt, mouse tracking is reenabled when the window is reshown. Bug #1948.
On Windows, the DirectWrite modes SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITEDC and SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITERETAIN are no longer provisional.
SciTE on macOS fixes a crash when platform-specific and platform-independent session restoration clashed. Bug #1960.
SciTE on GTK+ implements find.close.on.find. Bug #1152, Bug #1254, Bug #1762, Feature #849.

New in Scite 3.7.5 (May 26, 2017)

Support dropped for Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 due to increased use of C++11 features.
Added a caret line frame as an alternative visual for highlighting the caret line.
Added "Reverse Selected Lines" feature.
SciTE adds "Select All Bookmarks" command.
SciTE adds a save.path.suggestion setting to suggest a file name when saving an unnamed buffer.
Updated case conversion and character categories to Unicode 9.
The Baan lexer recognizes numeric literals in a more compliant manner including hexadecimal numbers and exponentials.
The Bash lexer recognizes strings in lists in more cases. Bug #1944.
The Fortran lexer recognizes a preprocessor line after a line continuation &. Bug #1935.
The Fortran folder can fold comments. Bug #1936.
The PowerShell lexer recognizes escaped quotes in strings. Bug #1929.
The Python lexer recognizes identifiers more accurately when they include non-ASCII characters.
The Python folder treats comments at the end of the file as separate from the preceding structure.
The YAML lexer recognizes comments in more situations and styles a "..." line like a "---" line. Bug #1931.
Update scroll bar when annotations added, removed, or visibility changed. Feature #1187.
Canceling modes with the Esc key preserves a rectangular selection. Bug #1940.
Builds are made with a sorted list of lexers to be more reproducible. Bug #1946.
On Cocoa, a leak of mouse tracking areas was fixed.
On Cocoa, the autocompletion is 4 pixels wider to avoid text truncation.
On Windows, stop drawing a focus rectangle on the autocompletion list and raise the default list length to 9 items.
SciTE examines at most 1 MB of a file to automatically determine indentation for indent.auto to avoid a lengthy pause when loading very large files.
SciTE user interface uses lighter colours and fewer 3D elements to match current desktop environments.
SciTE sets buffer dirty and shows message when file deleted if load.on.activate on.
SciTE on Windows Find strip Find button works in incremental no-close mode. Bug #1926.

New in Scite 3.7.4 (Mar 22, 2017)

Requires a C++11 compiler. GCC 4.8 and MSVC 2015 are supported.
Support dropped for Windows NT 4.
Accessibility support may be queried with SCI_GETACCESSIBILITY. On GTK+, accessibility may be disabled by calling SCI_SETACCESSIBILITY.
Lexer added for "indent" language which is styled as plain text but folded by indentation level.
The Progress ABL lexer handles nested comments where comment starts or ends are adjacent like "/*/*" or "*/*/".
In the Python lexer, improve f-string support. Add support for multiline expressions in triple quoted f-strings. Handle nested "()", "[]", and "{}" in f-string expressions and terminate expression coloring at ":" or "!". End f-string if ending quote is seen in a "{}" expression. Fix terminating single quoted f-string at EOL. Bug #1918.
The VHDL folder folds an "entity" on the first line of the file.
For IMEs, do not clear selected text when there is no composition text to show.
Fix to crash with fold tags where line inserted at start.
Fix to stream selection mode when moving caret up or down. Bug #1905.
Drawing fixes for fold tags include fully drawing lines and not overlapping some drawing and ensuring edges and mark underlines are visible.
Fix Cocoa failure to display accented character chooser for European languages by partially reverting a change made to prevent a crash with Chinese input by special-casing the Cangjie input source. Bug #1881.
Fix potential problems with IME on Cocoa when document contains invalid UTF-8.
Fix crash on Cocoa with OS X 10.9 due to accessibility API not available. Bug #1915.
Improved speed of accessibility code on GTK+ by using additional memory as a cache. Bug #1910.
Fix crash in accessibility code on GTK+ < 3.3.6 caused by previous bug fix. Bug #1907.
Fix to prevent double scrolling on GTK+ with X11. Bug #1901.
SciTE on GTK+ adds an "accessibility" property to allow disabling accessibility on GTK+ as an optimization.
SciTE on GTK+ has changed file chooser behaviour for some actions: overwriting an existing file shows a warning; the default session file name "SciTE.session" is shown and a "*.session" filter is applied; appropriate filters are applied when exporting; the current file name is displayed in "Save As" even when that file no longer exists.
SciTE fixed a bug where, on GTK+, when the output pane had focus, menu commands performed by mouse were sent instead to the edit pane.
SciTE on Windows 8+ further restricts the paths searched for DLLs to the application and system directories which may prevent some binary planting attacks.
Fix failure to load Direct2D on Windows when used on old versions of Windows. Bug #1653.

New in Scite 3.7.3 (Feb 20, 2017)

New in Scite 3.7.2 (Dec 31, 2016)

New in Scite 3.7.1 (Dec 4, 2016)

The Scintilla namespace is no longer applied to struct definitions in Scintilla.h even when SCI_NAMESPACE defined. Client code should not define SCI_NAMESPACE
Previously deprecated features SC_CP_DBCS, SCI_SETUSEPALETTE. and SCI_GETUSEPALETTE have been removed and can no longer be used in client code
Accessibility support allowing screen readers to work added on GTK+ and Cocoa
Textual tags may be displayed to the right on folded lines with SCI_TOGGLEFOLDSHOWTEXT. This is commonly something like "{ ... }" or "...". It is displayed with the STYLE_FOLDDISPLAYTEXT style and may have a box drawn around it with SCI_FOLDDISPLAYTEXTSETSTYLE
A mouse right-click over the margin may send an SCN_MARGINRIGHTCLICK event. This only occurs when popup menus are turned off. SCI_USEPOPUP now has three states: SC_POPUP_NEVER, SC_POPUP_ALL, or SC_POPUP_TEXT
INDIC_POINT and INDIC_POINTCHARACTER indicators added to display small arrows underneath positions or characters
Added alternate appearance for visible tabs which looks like a horizontal line. Controlled with SCI_SETTABDRAWMODE. Feature #1165

Baan folder accommodates sections and lexer fixes definition of SCE_BAAN_FUNCDEF
EDIFACT lexer and folder added. Feature #1166
JSON folder fixed where it didn't resume folding with the correct fold level
Matlab folder based on syntax instead of indentation so more accurate. Bug #1692

Structure names in Scintilla.h without prefixes are deprecated and will now only be usable with INCLUDE_DEPRECATED_FEATURES defined. Use the newer names with the "Sci_" prefix:
CharacterRange -> Sci_CharacterRange
TextRange ->Sci_TextRange
TextToFind -> Sci_TextToFind
RangeToFormat -> Sci_RangeToFormat
NotifyHeader -> Sci_NotifyHeader

New in Scite 3.7.0 (Oct 17, 2016)

Word selection, navigation, and manipulation is now performed on characters instead of bytes leading to more natural behaviour for multi-byte encodings like UTF-8. For UTF-8 characters 0x80 and above, classification into word; punctuation; space; or line-end is based on the Unicode general category of the character and is not customizable. Bug #1832
Two enums changed in Scintilla.iface which may lead to changed bindings. There were 2 FontQuality enums and the first is now PhasesDraw. The prefix for FoldAction was SC_FOLDACTION and is now SC_FOLDACTION_ which is similar to other enums. These changes do not affect the standard C/C++ binding
EDGE_MULTILINE and SCI_MULTIEDGEADDLINE added to allow displaying multiple vertical edges simultaneously
The number of margins can be changed with SCI_SETMARGINS
Margin type SC_MARGIN_COLOUR added so that the application may choose any colour for a margin with SCI_SETMARGINBACKN

The CoffeeScript lexer styles interpolated code in strings. Bug #1865
The Progress lexer "progress" has been replaced with a new lexer "abl" (Advanced Business Language) with a different set of lexical states and more functionality. The lexical state prefix has changed from SCE_4GL_ to SCE_ABL_. Feature #1143
The PowerShell lexer understands the grave accent escape character. Bug #1868
The YAML lexer recognizes inline comments. Bug #1660
SciTE on Windows can retain coloured selection when inactive with selection.always.visible property
SciTE on Windows adds a state to close.on.find to close the find strip when a match is found
Fix caret position after left or right movement with rectangular selection. Bug #1861
In SciTE, optional prefix argument added to scite.ConstantName method. Bug #1860

New in Scite 3.6.0 (Aug 3, 2015)

External interfaces use the Sci_Position and Sci_PositionU typedefs instead of int and unsigned int to allow for changes to a 64-bit interface on 64-bit plactforms in the future. Applications and external lexers should start using the new type names so that they will be compatible when the 64-bit change occurs. There is also Sci_PositionCR (long) for use in the Sci_CharacterRange struct which will also eventually become 64-bit
Multiple selection now works over more key commands. The new multiple-selection handling commands include horizontal movement and selection commands, line up and down movement and selection commands, word and line deletion commands, and line end insertion. This change in behaviours is conditional on setting the SCI_SETADDITIONALSELECTIONTYPING property
Autocompletion lists send an SCN_AUTOCCOMPLETED notification after the text has been inserted. Feature #1109
The case mode style attribute can now be SC_CASE_CAMEL
The Python lexer supports substyles for identifiers

Indicators may have a different colour and style when the mouse is over them or the caret is moved into them.
An indicator may display in a large variety of colours with the SC_INDICFLAG_VALUEFORE flag taking the colour from the indicator's value, which may differ for every character, instead of its foreground colour attribute.
On Cocoa, additional IME methods implemented so that more commands are enabled. For Japanese: Reverse Conversion, Convert to Related Character, and Search Similar Kanji can now be performed. The global definition hotkey Command+Control+D and the equivalent three finger tap gesture can be used.
Minimum version of Qt supported is now 4.8 due to the use of QElapsedTimer::nsecsElapsed.
On Windows, for Korean, the VK_HANJA key is implemented to choose Hanja for Hangul and to convert from Hanja to Hangul.
C++ lexer adds lexer.cpp.verbatim.strings.allow.escapes option that allows verbatim (@") strings to contain escape sequences. This should remain off (0) for C# and be turned on (1) for Objective C.

Ruby folder can fold multiline comments. Bug #1697.
SQL lexer fixes a bug with the q-quote operator.
TCL lexer fixes a bug with some strings. Bug #1642.
Verilog lexer handles escaped identifiers that begin with \ and end with space like \reset* . Verilog folder fixes one bug with inconsistent folding when fold.comment is on and another with typedef class statements creating a fold point, expecting an endclass statement.
VHDL folder fixes hang in folding when document starts with "entity".
Add new indicators INDIC_COMPOSITIONTHIN, INDIC_FULLBOX, and INDIC_TEXTFORE. INDIC_COMPOSITIONTHIN is a thin underline that mimics the appearance of non-target segments in OS X IME. INDIC_FULLBOX is similar to INDIC_STRAIGHTBOX but covers the entire character area which means that indicators with this style on contiguous lines may touch. INDIC_TEXTFORE changes the text foreground colour.
Fix adaptive scrolling speed for GTK+ on OS X with GTK Quartz backend (as opposed to X11 backend). Bug #1696.
Fix crash in SciTE when saving large files in background when closing application. Bug #1691.
Fix decoding of MSVC warnings in SciTE so that files in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ directory can be opened. This is a common location of system include files.
Fix compilation failure of C++11 on Windows using gcc.

Text may share space vertically so that extreme ascenders and descenders are not cut off by calling SCI_SETPHASESDRAW(SC_PHASES_MULTIPLE).
Separate timers are used for each type of periodic activity and they are turned on and off as required. This saves power as there are fewer wake ups. On recent releases of OS X Cocoa and Windows, coalescing timers are used to further save power. Bug #1086. Bug #1532.
Explicit tab stops may be set for each line.
On Windows and GTK+, when using Korean input methods, IME composition is moved from a separate window into the Scintilla window.

New in Scite 3.3.6 (Oct 16, 2013)

Added functions to help convert between substyles and base styles and between secondary and primary styles. SCI_GETSTYLEFROMSUBSTYLE finds the base style of substyles. Can be used to treat all substyles of a style equivalent to that style. SCI_GETPRIMARYSTYLEFROMSTYLE finds the primary style of secondary styles. StyleFromSubStyle and PrimaryStyleFromStyle methods were added to ILexerWithSubStyles so each lexer can implement these.
Lexer added for Rust language. Feature #1024.
Avoid false matches in errorlist lexer which is used for the SciTE output pane by stricter checking of ctags lines.
Perl lexer fixes bugs with multi-byte characters, including in HEREDOCs and PODs. Bug #1528.

For SCI_SETIDENTIFIERS, \t, \r, and \n are allowed as well as space between identifiers. Bug #1521.
Gaining and losing focus is now reported as a notification with the code set to SCN_FOCUSIN or SCN_FOCUSOUT. This allows clients to uniformly use notifications instead of commands. Since there is no longer a need for commands they will be deprecated in a future version. Clients should switch any code that currently uses SCEN_SETFOCUS or SCEN_KILLFOCUS.
On Cocoa, clients should use the delegate mechanism or subclass ScintillaView in preference to registerNotifyCallback: which will be deprecated in the future.
On Cocoa, the ScintillaView.h header hides internal implementation details from Platform.h and ScintillaCocoa.h. InnerView was renamed to SCIContentView and MarginView was renamed to SCIMarginView. dealloc removed from @interface.
On Cocoa, clients may customize SCIContentView by subclassing both SCIContentView and ScintillaView and implementing the contentViewClass class method on the ScintillaView subclass to return the class of the SCIContentView subclass.
On Cocoa, fixed appearance of alpha rectangles to use specified alpha and colour for outline as well as corner size. This makes INDIC_STRAIGHTBOX and INDIC_ROUNDBOX look correct.

Lexers are implemented as objects so that they may retain extra state. The interfaces defined for this are tentative and may change before the next release. Compatibility classes allow current lexers compiled into Scintilla to run with few changes. The interface to external lexers has changed and existing external lexers will need to have changes made and be recompiled. A single lexer object is attached to a document whereas previously lexers were attached to views which could lead to different lexers being used for split views with confusing results.
C++ lexer understands the preprocessor enough to grey-out inactive code due to conditional compilation.
SciTE can use strips within the main window for find and replace rather than dialogs. On Windows SciTE always uses a strip for incremental search.
