The plugin manager now uses a different URL scheme where the mirror is a URL
parameter and not part of the hostname anymore and follows URL redirection
properly. This way a file can always be downloaded as we get redirected to a
mirror that has the requested file available. Now dead mirrors do not cause
the download to fail anymore due to unknown hostname and files that are only
available on few mirrors (seldom downloaded files are only available on one
mirror sometimes) also work properly. The selected mirror is just the
preferred one that is used if the file is available there, just as the label
always suggested anyway. (BjÃ¶rn "Vampire" Kautler)

org.gjt.sp.jedit.GUIUtilities suitable for the standalone TextArea
package; all methods kept but deprecated and proxies (Eric Le Lay).

API changes
Added methods to manage the cursor if the TextArea :
In the TextAreaPainter class, added
resetCursor()
setCursor(Cursor)
The cursor behavior is the following :
when the cursor is the default one : TEXT_CURSOR,
when typing text it is hidden, after moving the mouse it reappears.
If a plugin calls setCursor() to replace it for whatever reason, the cursor will not disappear anymore when typing or be changed to TEXT_CURSOR until resetCursor() is called
Introduction of a new ThreadUtilities class implementing a threadpool using Java 1.6 Concurrent API. Use this instead of VFSManager's WorkThreadPool, which is now deprecated.

Removed long deprecated TextArea#isDragInProgress() and TextArea#setDragInProgress().
EditBus.send() will now always deliver messages on the AWT thread, although it can be called from any thread.
Added EditBus.sendAsync(): this just enqueues messages to be send over the EditBus as soon as the AWT thread is not busy, and returns immediately.
Added ability to tag classes with EditBus.EBHandler. This is only useful when tagging an EditPlugin class, and makes the plugin instance behave as if it implemented EBComponent (it's added to the bus when the plugin is activated).
RFC edit mode was misplaced in catalog and was never matching anything because text edit mode glob was more global and checked first
New ping-pong list component org.gjt.sp.jedit.gui.PingPongList
PluginUpdate bus message now have a method getPluginVersion() that returns the plugin version if there is one
Added StyleEditor.invokeForCaret(textArea) which does same as buffer.editSyntaxStyle(textArea) did, but can be invoked without specifying the buffer object carefully.

New status bar widget design (Matthieu Casanova #1540560)
New Encodings option pane using drag & drop (Matthieu Casanova)

Added a new option to perform font substitution in the text area when the current configured font can't display characters in the buffer. It's disabled by default, and can be enabled in the text area option pane, along with the option to choose preferred fonts for substitution. This makes reading files which contain text in multiple scripts more bearable. (Marcelo Vanzin)
Fixed ModeCatalogHandler so if an edit mode in the user-specific catalog has the same name as an edit mode in the system catalog, the version in the user-specific catalog will override the system default. This is what the documentation for writing an edit mode has stated is true for some time, now it is. (Dale Anson)
Gave better priorities within modes which matches with a file at the same time, as the following order:
exact filename match
both the filename glob and the first line glob
only the filename glob
the first line glob (Dale Anson)
In status bar option pane, when adding a widget only widgets that are not already in the bar will be proposed (Matthieu Casanova feature #2937286)
