New in SimpleHyp 2.1 (Oct 18, 2016)
- To work around this problem with wxWidgets string handling, the following changes have been made:
- The default SimpleHyp character set is now ISO-8859-1.
- The initial Content-Type header in a new document now says "charset=iso-8859-1".
- The Insert META tags menu now gives the option of Content-Type of ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 character sets.
- When a file is opened, any byte values between 0x80 and 0x9F are stripped or replaced with a suitable html entity code.
- If somehow the file save bug should still occur, it will be detected and the user given the option to save the file with UTF-8 encoding instead. This avoids any problem with non ISO-8859-1 characters, since UTF-8 contains everything. But the user would need to change the Content-Type meta tag of the html document to read "charset=utf-8" in order for the file to be correctly displayed in a browser.
- An additional menu item 'ASCII only', appears on the Edit menu. This command converts all characters in the file to plain ASCII text only. (i.e. byte values between 0x00 and 0x7F only). Any valid ISO-8859-1 characters above 0x7F are replaced with the appropriate html '&xxx;' entity.
- Some other minor changes in this version:
- Recent Files list is moved to a sub-menu of the File menu, and a Clear Recent Files menu item is provided.
- Fixed bug where Copy Text command would sometimes copy html tags as well as the plain text.
- Improved Copy Text handling of html character entities, so more are converted to an appropriate viewable character before copying to the clipboard.
- Added new CRLF->LF command on the edit menu for symmetry with the existing LF->CRLF command.
