| + | ++ A library of language lexers for use with Scintilla + | +
+ Release version 5.0.0 + Site last modified March 5 2021 + |
+ + + | +
| + + | +
-
+
- Version 5.0.0 is an unstable testing release. +
+ Lexilla is a free library of language + lexers that can be used with the Scintilla + editing component. + It comes with complete source code and a license that + permits use in any free project or commercial product. +
++ Originally, this functionality was incorporated inside Scintilla. + It has been extracted as a separate project to make it easier for contributors to work on + support for new languages and to fix bugs in existing lexers. + It also defines a protocol where projects can easily implement their own lexers and distribute + them as they wish. +
++ Current development occurs on the default branch as 5.* which requires a recent + C++ compiler that supports C++17. + The testing framework uses some C++20 features but the basic library only uses C++17. +
++ Lexilla is currently available for Intel Win32, OS X, and Linux compatible operating + systems. It has been run on Windows 10, OS X 10.13+, and on Ubuntu 20.04 but is likely + to run on earlier systems as it has no GUI functionality. +
++ You can download Lexilla. +
+
+ The source code can be downloaded via Git at GitHub
+ Lexilla project page.

+ +Introduction
+ +Lexilla is a library containing lexers for use with Scintilla. It can be either a static library + that is linked into an application or a shared library that is loaded at runtime.
+ +Lexilla does not interact with the display so there is no need to compile it for a + particular GUI toolkit. Therefore there can be a common library shared by applications using + different GUI toolkits. In some circumstances there may need to be both 32-bit and 64-bit versions + on one system to match different applications.
+ +Different extensions are commonly used for shared libraries: .so on Linux, .dylib on macOS, and .DLL on Windows. +
+ +The Lexilla protocol
+ +A set of functions is defined by Lexilla for use by applications. Libraries that provide these functions + can be used as a replacement for Lexilla or to add new lexers beyond those provided by Lexilla.
+ +The Lexilla protocol is a superset of the external lexer protocol and defines these functions that may be exported from a shared library:
+ int GetLexerCount()
+ void GetLexerName(unsigned int index, char *name, int buflength)
+ LexerFactoryFunction GetLexerFactory(unsigned int index)
+ ILexer5 *CreateLexer(const char *name)
+ void SetLibraryProperty(const char *key, const char *value)
+ const char *GetLibraryPropertyNames()
+
ILexer5 is defined by Scintilla in include/ILexer.h as the interface provided by lexers which is called by Scintilla. + Many clients do not actually need to call methods on ILexer5 - they just take the return from CreateLexer and plug it + straight into Scintilla so it can be treated as a machine pointer (void *). +
+ +LexerFactoryFunction is defined as a function that takes no arguments and returns an ILexer5 *:
+ ILexer5 *(*LexerFactoryFunction)() but this can be ignored by most client code.
+
The Lexilla protocol is a superset of the earlier external lexer protocol that defined the first 3 functions + (GetLexerCount, GetLexerName, GetLexerFactory) + so Lexilla be loaded by applications that support that protocol. + GetLexerFactory will rarely be used now as it is easier to call CreateLexer. +
+ +CreateLexer is the main call that will create a lexer for a particular language. The returned lexer can then be + set as the current lexer in Scintilla by calling + SCI_SETILEXER.
+ +SetLibraryProperty and GetLibraryPropertyNames
+ are optional functions that can be
+ defined if a library requires initialisation before calling other methods.
+ For example, a lexer library that reads language definitions from XML files may require that the
+ directory containing these files be set before a call to CreateLexer.
+ SetLibraryProperty("definitions.directory", "/usr/share/xeditor/language-definitions")
+ If a library implements SetLibraryProperty then it may also provide a set of valid property names with
+ GetLibraryPropertyNames that can then be used by the application to define configuration file property
+ names or user interface elements for options dialogs.
Building Lexilla
+ +Before using Lexilla it must be built or downloaded.
+ +To build Lexilla, in the lexilla/src directory, run make (for gcc or clang)
+ make
+ or nmake for MSVC
+ nmake -f lexilla.mak
+ + +
After building Lexilla, its test suite can be run with make/nmake in the lexilla/test directory. For gcc or clang
+ make test
+ or for MSVC+
nmake -f testlexers.mak test
+ Each test case should show "
+
+
+ Lexing ..." and errors will display a diagnostic, commonly showing
+ a difference between the actual and expected result:+
C:\u\hg\lexilla\test\examples\python\x.py:1: is different
+ There are also RunTest.sh / RunTest.bat scripts in the scripts directory to build Lexilla and then build and run the tests. + These both use gcc/clang, not MSVC.
+ +There are Microsoft Visual C++ and Xcode projects that can be used to build Lexilla. + For Visual C++: src/Lexilla.vcxproj. For Xcode: src/Lexilla/Lexilla.xcodeproj. + There is also test/TestLexers.vcxproj to build the tests with Visual C++.
+ +Using Lexilla
+ +Definitions for using Lexilla from C and C++ are included in lexilla/include/Lexilla.h.
+ For C++, scintilla/include/ILexer.h should be included before Lexilla.h as the
+ ILexer5 type is used.
+ For C, ILexer.h should not be included as C does not understand it and from C,
+ void* is used instead of ILexer5*.
+
For many applications the main Lexilla operations are loading the Lexilla library, creating a + lexer and using that lexer in Scintilla. + Applications need to define the location (or locations) they expect + to find Lexilla or libraries that support the Lexilla protocol. + They also need to define how they request particular lexers, perhaps with a mapping from + file extensions to lexer names.
+ +From C - CheckLexilla
+ +An example C program for accessing Lexilla is provided in lexilla/examples/CheckLexilla. + Build with make and run with make check. +
+ +From C++ - LexillaAccess
+ +A C++ module, LexillaAccess.cxx / LexillaAccess.h is provided in lexilla/access. + This can either be compiled into the application when it is sufficient + or the source code can be copied into the application and customized when the application has additional requirements + (such as checking code signatures). + SciTE uses LexillaAccess.
+ +LexillaAccess supports loading multiple shared libraries implementing the Lexilla protocol at one time.
+ +From Qt
+ +For Qt, use either LexillaAccess from above or Qt's QLibrary class. With 'Call' defined to call Scintilla APIs.
+
+#if _WIN32
+ typedef void *(__stdcall *CreateLexerFn)(const char *name);
+#else
+ typedef void *(*CreateLexerFn)(const char *name);
+#endif
+ QFunctionPointer fn = QLibrary::resolve("lexilla", "CreateLexer");
+ void *lexCpp = ((CreateLexerFn)fn)("cpp");
+ Call(SCI_SETILEXER, 0, (sptr_t)(void *)lexCpp);
+
Applications may discover the set of lexers provided by a library by first calling
+ GetLexerCount to find the number of lexers implemented in the library then looping over calling
+ GetLexerName with integers 0 to GetLexerCount()-1.
Applications may set properties on a library by calling SetLibraryProperty if provided. + This may be needed for initialisation so should before calling GetLexerCount or CreateLexer. + A set of property names may be available from GetLibraryPropertyNames if provided. + It returns a string pointer where the string contains a list of property names separated by '\n'. + It is up to applications to define how properties are defined and persisted in its user interface + and configuration files.
+ +Modifying or adding lexers
+ +Lexilla can be modified or a new library created that can be used to replace or augment Lexilla.
+ +Lexer libraries that provide the same functions as Lexilla may provide lexers for use by Scintilla,
+ augmenting or replacing those provided by Lexilla.
+ To allow initialisation of lexer libraries, a SetLibraryProperty(const char *key, const char *value)
+ may optionally be implemented. For example, a lexer library that uses XML based lexer definitions may
+ be provided with a directory to search for such definitions.
+ Lexer libraries should ignore any properties that they do not understand.
+ The set of properties supported by a lexer library is specified as a '\n' separated list of property names by
+ an optional const char *GetLibraryPropertyNames() function.
+
Lexilla and its contained lexers can be tested with the TestLexers program in lexilla/test. + Read lexilla/test/README for information on building and using TestLexers.
+ +An example of a simple lexer housed in a shared library that is compatible with the + Lexilla protocol can be found in lexilla/examples/SimpleLexer. It is implemented in C++. + Build with make and check by running CheckLexilla against it with + make check. +

+
- + Released 19 June 2018. + +
- + Experimental and incomplete support added for bidirectional text on Windows using DirectWrite and Cocoa for + UTF-8 documents by calling SCI_SETBIDIRECTIONAL(SC_BIDIRECTIONAL_L2R). + This allows documents that contain Arabic or Hebrew to be edited more easily in a way that is similar + to other editors. + +
- + INDIC_GRADIENT and INDIC_GRADIENTCENTRE indicator types added. + INDIC_GRADIENT starts with a specified colour and alpha at top of line and fades + to fully transparent at bottom. + INDIC_GRADIENTCENTRE starts with a specified colour and alpha at centre of line and fades + to fully transparent at top and bottom. + +
- + Wrap indent mode SC_WRAPINDENT_DEEPINDENT added which indents two tabs from previous line. + +
- + Indicators are drawn for line end characters when displayed. + +
- + Most invalid bytes in DBCS encodings are displayed as blobs to make problems clear + and ensure something is shown. + +
- + On Cocoa, invalid text in DBCS encodings will be interpreted through the + single-byte MacRoman encoding as that will accept any byte. + +
- + Diff lexer adds styles for diffs containing patches. + +
- + Crashes fixed on macOS for invalid DBCS characters when dragging text, + changing case of text, case-insensitive searching, and retrieving text as UTF-8. + +

- + Set the last X chosen when SCI_REPLACESEL called to ensure macros work + when text insertion followed by caret up or down. + +
- + Bugs fixed in regular expression searches in Scintilla where some matches did not occur in an + effort to avoid infinite loops when replacing on empty matches like "^" and "$". + Applications should always handle empty matches in a way that avoids infinite loops, commonly + by incrementing the search position after replacing an empty match. + SciTE fixes a bug where replacing "^" always matched on the first line even when it was an + "in selection" replace and the selection started after the line start. + +
- + Bug fixed in SciTE where invalid numeric properties could crash. + +
- + Runtime warnings fixed with SciTE on GTK after using Find in Files. + +
- + SciTE on Windows find and replace strips place caret at end of text after search. + +
- + Bug fixed with SciTE on macOS where corner debris appeared in the margin when scrolling. + Fixed by not completely hiding the status bar so the curved corner is no longer part of the + scrolling region. + By default, 4 pixels of the status bar remain visible and this can be changed with + the statusbar.minimum.height property or turned off if the debris are not a problem by + setting the property to 0. + +
+ Release 4.0.4 +
+-
+
- + Released 10 April 2018. + +
- + On Win32, the standard makefiles build a libscintilla static library as well as the existing dynamic libraries. + The statically linked version of SciTE, Sc1, links to this static library. A new file, ScintillaDLL.cxx, provides + the DllMain function required for a stand-alone Scintilla DLL. Build and project files should include this + file when producing a DLL and omit it when producing a static library or linking Scintilla statically. + The STATIC_BUILD preprocessor symbol is no longer used. + +
- + On Win32, Direct2D support is no longer automatically detected during build. + DISABLE_D2D may still be defined to remove Direct2D features. + +
- + In some cases, invalid UTF-8 is handled in a way that is a little friendlier. + For example, when copying to the clipboard on Windows, an invalid lead byte will be copied as the + equivalent ISO 8859-1 character and will not hide the following byte. + Feature #1211. + +
- + Lexer added for the Maxima computer algebra language. + Feature #1210. + +
- + Fix hang in Lua lexer when lexing a label upto the terminating "::". + Bug #1999. + +
- + Lua lexer matches identifier chains with dots and colons. + Bug #1952. + +

- + Fix move-extends-selection mode for rectangular and line selections. + +
- + On GTK+, change lifetime of selection widget to avoid runtime warnings. + +
- + Fix building on Mingw/MSYS to perform file copies and deletions. + Bug #1993. + +
- + SciTE can match a wider variety of file patterns where '*' is in the middle of + the pattern and where there are multiple '*'. + A '?' matches any single character. + +
- + SciTE on Windows can execute Python scripts directly by name when on path. + Feature #1209. + +
- + SciTE on Windows Find in Files checks for cancel after every 10,000 lines read so + can be stopped on huge files. + +
- + SciTE remembers entered values in lists in more cases for find, replace and find in files. + Bug #1715. + +
+ Release 4.0.3 +

- + The Scintilla namespace is always active for internal symbols and for the lexer interfaces + ILexer4 and IDocument. + +
- + The Baan lexer checks that matches to 3rd set of keywords are function calls and leaves as identifiers if not. + Baan lexer and folder support #context_on / #context_off preprocessor feature. + +
-
+ The C++ lexer improved preprocessor conformance.
+ Default value of 0 for undefined preprocessor symbols.

+ Release 4.0.0 +
+-
+
- + Released 16 August 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. + +

- + 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. + +

+-
+
- + Released 16 October 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. + +

- + SciTE's standard properties collect values from all active .properties file to produce the Language menu + and the file types pull-down in the File open dialog. + +
- + The single executable version of SciTE, Sc1, uses 'module' statements within its embedded + properties. This makes it act more like the full distribution allowing languages to be turned on + and off by setting imports.include and imports.exclude. + The default imports.exclude property adds eiffel, erlang, ps, and pov so these languages are + turned off by default. + +

- + SciTE on Windows improves the time taken to read output from tools that produce a large amount + of output by a factor of around 10. + +
- + On GTK+ the keyboard command for View | End of Line was changed to Ctrl+Shift+N + to avoid clash with Search | Selection Add Next. + Bug #1750. + +
+ Release 3.6.0 +
+-
+
- + Released 3 August 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 platforms 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. + +

+ Release 3.5.5 +
+-
+
- + Released 17 April 2015. + +
- + Scintilla on Windows is now always a wide character window so SCI_SETKEYSUNICODE has no effect + and SCI_GETKEYSUNICODE always returns true. These APIs are deprecated and should not be called. + +
- + The wxWidgets-specific ascent member of Font has been removed which breaks + compatibility with current wxStyledTextCtrl. + Bug #1682. + +
- + IME on Qt supports multiple carets and behaves more like other platforms. + +
- + Always use inline IME on GTK+ for Korean. + +
- + SQL lexer fixes handling of '+' and '-' in numbers so the '-' in '1-1' is seen as an operator and for + '1--comment' the comment is recognized. + +
- + TCL lexer reverts change to string handling. + Bug #1642. + +
- + Verilog lexer fixes bugs with macro styling. + Verilog folder fixes bugs with `end completing an `if* instead of `endif and fold.at.else, and implements + folding at preprocessor `else. + +

- + Fix SciTE bug where files without extensions like "makefile" were not highlighted correctly. + +
+ Release 3.5.4 +
+-
+
- + Released 8 March 2015. + +
- + 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. + +
- + Rust lexer accepts new 'is'/'us' integer suffixes instead of 'i'/'u'. + Bug #1098. + +
- + 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 position of autocompletion and calltips on Cocoa when there were two screens stacked vertically. + +
- + 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 <regex> on Windows using gcc. + +
+ Release 3.5.3 +
+-

- + Lexers added for Motorola S-Record files, Intel hex files, and Tektronix extended hex files with folding for Intel hex files. + Feature #1091. + Feature #1093. + Feature #1095. + Feature #1096. + +
- + C++ folder allows folding on square brackets '['. + Feature #1087. + +
- + Shell lexer fixes three issues with here-documents. + Bug #1672. + +
- + Verilog lexer highlights doc comment keywords; has separate styles for input, output, and inout ports + (lexer.verilog.portstyling); fixes a bug in highlighting numbers; can treat upper-case identifiers as + keywords (lexer.verilog.allupperkeywords); and can use different styles for code that is inactive due + to preprocessor commands (lexer.verilog.track.preprocessor, lexer.verilog.update.preprocessor). + +
- + When the calltip window is taller than the Scintilla window, leave it in a + position that avoids overlapping the Scintilla text. + +
- + When a text margin is displayed, for annotation lines, use the background colour of the base line. + +
- + On Windows GDI, assume font names are encoded in UTF-8. This matches the Direct2D code path. + +
- + Fix paste for GTK+ on OS X. + Bug #1677. + +
- + Reverted a fix on Qt where Qt 5.3 has returned to the behaviour of 4.x. + Bug #1575. + +
- + When the mouse is on the line between margin and text changed to treat as within text. + This makes the PLAT_CURSES character cell platform work better. + +
- + Fix a crash in SciTE when the command line is just "-close:". + Bug #1675. + +
- + Fix unexpected dialog in SciTE on Windows when the command line has a quoted filename then ends with a space. + Bug #1673. + +
- + On Windows and GTK+, use indicators for inline IME. + +
- + SciTE shuts down quicker when there is no user-written OnClose function and no directors are attached. + +
+ Release 3.5.2 +
+-
+
- + Released 2 December 2014. + +
- + For OS X Cocoa switch C++ runtime to libc++ to enable use of features that will never + be added to libstdc++ including those part of C++11. + Scintilla will now run only on OS X 10.7 or later and only in 64-bit mode. + +
- + Include support for using C++11 <regex> for regular expression searches. + Enabling this requires rebuilding Scintilla with a non-default option. + This is a provisional feature and may change API before being made permanent. + +
- + Allocate indicators used for Input Method Editors after 31 which was the previous limit of indicators to + ensure no clash between the use of indicators for IME and for the application. + +
- + ANNOTATION_INDENTED added which is similar to ANNOTATION_BOXED in terms of positioning + but does not show a border. + Feature #1086. + +
- + Allow platform overrides for drawing tab arrows, wrap markers, and line markers. + Size of double click detection area is a variable. + These enable better visuals and behaviour for PLAT_CURSES as it is character cell based. + +
- + CoffeeScript lexer fixes "/*" to not be a comment. + Bug #1420. + +
- + VHDL folder fixes "block" keyword. + Bug #1664. + +
- + Prevent caret blinking when holding down Delete key. + Bug #1657. + +
- + On Windows, allow right click selection in popup menu. + Feature #1080. + +
- + On Windows, only call ShowCaret in GDI mode as it interferes with caret drawing when using Direct2D. + Bug #1643. + +
- + On Windows, another DirectWrite mode SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITEDC added + which may avoid drawing failures in some circumstances by drawing into a GDI DC. + This feature is provisional and may be changed or removed if a better solution is found. + +
- + On Windows, avoid processing mouse move events where the mouse has not moved as these can + cause unexpected dwell start notifications. + Bug #1670. + +
- + For GTK+ on Windows, avoid extra space when pasting from external application. + +
- + On GTK+ 2.x allow Scintilla to be used inside tool tips by changing when preedit window created. + Bug #1662. + +
- + Support MinGW compilation under Linux. + Feature #1077. + +
+ Release 3.5.1 +

- + On GTK+ cache autocomplete window to avoid platform bug where windows + were sometimes lost. + Bug #1649. + +
- + On GTK+ size autocomplete window more accurately. + +
- + On Windows only unregister windows classes registered. + Bug #1639. + +
- + On Windows another DirectWrite mode SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITERETAIN added + which may avoid drawing failures on some cards and drivers. + This feature is provisional and may be changed or removed if a better solution is found. + +
- + On Windows support the Visual Studio 2010+ clipboard format that indicates a line copy. + Bug #1636. + +
- + SciTE session files remember the scroll position. + +
+ Release 3.5.0 +
+-
+
- + Released 13 August 2014. + +
- + 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. + +
- + SciTE adds a "Clean" command to the "Tools" menu which is meant to be bound to a command like + "make clean". + +
- + Lexer added for Windows registry files. + +
- + HTML lexer fixes a crash with SGML after a Mako comment. + Bug #1622. + +

- + On Qt, fix building on FreeBSD 9.2. + Bug #1635. + +
- + On Qt, add a get_character method on the document. + Feature #1064. + +
- + On Qt, add SCI_* for methods to ScintillaConstants.py. + Feature #1065. + +
- + SciTE on GTK+ crash fixed with Insert Abbreviation command. + +
- + For SciTE with read-only files and are.you.sure=0 reenable choice to save to another + location when using Save or Close commands. + +
- + Fix SciTE bug where toggle bookmark did not work after multiple lines with bookmarks merged. + Bug #1617. + +
+ Release 3.4.4 +
+-
+
- + Released 3 July 2014. + +
- + Style byte indicators removed. They were deprecated in 2007. Standard indicators should be used instead. + Some elements used by lexers no longer take number of bits or mask arguments so lexers may need to be + updated for LexAccessor::StartAt, LexAccessor::SetFlags (removed), LexerModule::LexerModule. + +
- + When multiple selections are active, autocompletion text may be inserted at each selection with new + SCI_AUTOCSETMULTI method. + +
- + C++ lexer fixes crash for "#define x(". + Bug #1614. + +

- + Fix bug on Cocoa where emoji were treated as being zero width. + +
- + Fix crash on GTK+ with Ubuntu 12.04 and overlay scroll bars. + +
- + Avoid creating a Cairo context when measuring text on GTK+ as future versions of GTK+ + may prohibit calling gdk_cairo_create except inside drawing handlers. This prohibition may + be required on Wayland. + +
- + On Cocoa, the registerNotifyCallback method is now marked as deprecated so client code that + uses it will display an error message. + Client code should use the delegate mechanism or subclassing instead. + The method will be removed in the next version. + +
- + On Cocoa, package Scintilla more in compliance with platform conventions. + Only publish public headers in the framework headers directory. + Only define the Scintilla namespace in Scintilla.h when compiling as C++. + Use the Cocoa NS_ENUM and NS_OPTIONS macros for exposed enumerations. + Hide internal methods from public headers. + These changes are aimed towards publishing Scintilla as a module which will allow it to + be used from the Swift programming language, although more changes will be needed here. + +
- + Fix crash in SciTE when stream comment performed at line end. + Bug #1610. + +
- + For SciTE on Windows, display error message when common dialogs fail. + Bug #156. + +

- + C++ lexer understands more preprocessor statements. #if defined SYMBOL is understood. + Some macros with arguments can be understood and these may be predefined in keyword set 4 + (keywords5 for SciTE) + with syntax similar to CHECKVERSION(x)=(x<3). + Feature #1051. + +
- + C++ lexer can highlight task marker keywords in comments as SCE_C_TASKMARKER. + +
- + C++ lexer can optionally highlight escape sequences in strings as SCE_C_ESCAPESEQUENCE. + +
- + C++ lexer supports Go back quoted raw string literals with lexer.cpp.backquoted.strings option. + Feature #1047. + +

- + Fix bug with adjacent instances of the same indicator with different values where only the first was drawn. + Bug #1560. + +
- + For DirectWrite, use the GDI ClearType gamma value for SC_EFF_QUALITY_LCD_OPTIMIZED as + this results in text that is similar in colour intensity to GDI. + For the duller default DirectWrite ClearType text appearance, use SC_EFF_QUALITY_DEFAULT. + Feature #887. + +
- + Fix another problem with drawing on Windows with Direct2D when returning from lock screen. + The whole window is redrawn as just redrawing the initially required area left other areas black. + +
- + When scroll width is tracked, take width of annotation lines into account. + +
- + For Cocoa on OS X 10.9, responsive scrolling is supported. + +
- + On Cocoa, apply font quality setting to line numbers. + Bug #1544. + +

+-
+
- + Released 15 October 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. + +

- + 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. + +
- + On Cocoa, memory leak fixed for MarginView. + +
- + On Cocoa, make drag and drop work when destination view is empty. + Bug #1534. + +
- + On Cocoa, drag image fixed when view scrolled. + +

- + Borland C++ can no longer build Scintilla. + +
- + Invalid bytes in UTF-8 mode are displayed as hex blobs. This also prevents crashes due to + passing invalid UTF-8 to platform calls. + +
- + Indentation guides enhanced to be visible on completely empty lines when possible. + +
- + The horizontal scroll bar may grow to match the widest line displayed. + +

- + SciTE's statement.end property has been implemented again. + +
- + SciTE shows paths and matches in different styles for Find In Files. + +
- + Incremental search in SciTE for Windows is modeless to make it easier to exit. + +
- + Folding performance improved. + +
- + SciTE for GTK+ now includes a Browse button in the Find In Files dialog. + +
- + On Windows versions that support Unicode well, Scintilla is a wide character window + which allows input for some less common languages like Armenian, Devanagari, + Tamil, and Georgian. To fully benefit, applications should use wide character calls. + +
- + Lua function names are exported from SciTE to allow some extension libraries to work. + +
- + Lexers added for Abaqus, Ansys APDL, Asymptote, and R. + +
- + SCI_DELWORDRIGHTEND added for closer compatibility with GTK+ entry widget. + +

- + Modern indicators now work on wrapped lines. + +
- + Some crashes fixed for 64-bit GTK+. + +
- + On GTK+ clipboard features improved for VMWare tools copy and paste. + SciTE exports the clipboard more consistently on shut down. + +
+ Release 1.74 +
+-

- + SciTE's extension and scripting interfaces add OnKey, OnDwellStart, and OnClose methods. + +
- + On GTK+, copying to the clipboard does not include the text/urilist type since this caused problems when + pasting into Open Office. + +
- + On GTK+, Scintilla defaults caret blink rate to platform preference. + +
- + Dragging does not start until the mouse has been dragged a certain amount. + This stops spurious drags when just clicking inside the selection. + +

- + Increased number of margins to 5. + +
- + Basic lexer allows include directive $include: "file name". + +
- + SQL lexer no longer bases folding on indentation. + +
- + Line ends are transformed when copied to clipboard on + Windows/GTK+2 as well as Windows/GTK+ 1. + +

- + SciTE savebefore:yes only saves the file when it has been changed. + +
- + SciTE adds output.initial.hide setting to allow setting the size of the output pane + without it showing initially. + +
- + SciTE on Windows Go To dialog allows line number with more digits. + +

+ Release 1.67 +
+-
+
- + Released on 17 December 2005. + +
- + Scintilla checks the paint region more accurately when seeing if an area is being + repainted. Platform layer implementations may need to change for this to take + effect.

- + Kid template language better handled by HTML lexer by finishing ASP Python + mode when a ?> is found. + +
- + SciTE counts number of characters in a rectangular selection correctly. + +
- + 64-bit compatibility improved. One change that may affect user code is that + the notification message header changed to include a pointer-sized id field + to match the current Windows definition. + +
- + Empty ranges can no longer be dragged. + +
- + Crash fixed when calls made that use layout inside the painted notification. + +

+
- + Released on 1 August 2005. + +
- + FreeBasic support. + +
- + SciTE on Windows handles command line arguments + "-" (read standard input into buffer), + "--" (read standard input into output pane) and + "-@" (read file names from standard input and open each). + +

- + PHP allows spaces after <<<. + +
- + TADS3 has a simpler set of states and recognizes identifiers. + +
- + Avenue elseif folds better. + +

- + SciTE error recognizer handles file paths in extra explanatory lines from MSVC + and in '+++' and '---' lines from diff. + +
- + Bugs fixed in SciTE and Scintilla folding behaviour when text pasted before + folded text caused unnecessary + unfolding and cutting text could lead to text being irretrievably hidden. + +
- + SciTE on Windows uses correct font for dialogs and better font for tab bar + allowing better localization + +
- + When Windows is used with a secondary monitor before the primary + monitor, autocompletion lists are not forced onto the primary monitor. + +
- + Scintilla calltip bug fixed where down arrow setting wrong value in notification + if not in first line. SciTE bug fixed where second arrow only shown on multiple line + calltip and was therefore misinterpreting the notification value. + +
- + Lexers will no longer be re-entered recursively during, for example, fold level setting. + +
- + Undo of typing in overwrite mode undoes one character at a time rather than requiring a removal + and addition step for each character. + +
- + EM_EXSETSEL(0,-1) fixed. + +

- + The SciTE expand abbreviation command again allows '|' characters + in expansions to be quoted by using '||'. + +
- + SciTE on Windows can send data to the find tool through standard + input rather than using a command line argument to avoid problems + with quoting command line arguments. + +

- + In SciTE, if fold.on.open set then switching buffers also performs fold. + +
- + Bug fixed in Scintilla where ensuring a line was visible in the presence of folding + operated on the document line instead of the visible line. + +
- + SciTE command line processing modified to operate on arguments in order and in + two phases. First any arguments before the first file name are processed, then the + UI is opened, then the remaining arguments are processed. Actions defined for the + Director interface (currently only "open") may also be used on the command line. + For example, "SciTE -open:x.txt" will start SciTE and open x.txt. + +

- + GTK+ specific definitions in Scintilla.h were removed to ScintillaWidget.h. All GTK+ clients will need to + #include "ScintillaWidget.h". + +
- + For GTK+, tools can be executed in the background by setting subsystem to 2. + +
- + Keys in the properties files are now case sensitive. This leads to a performance increase. + +
- + Menu to choose which lexer to use on a file. + +
- + Tab size dialog on Windows. + +
- + File dialogs enlarged on GTK+. + +
- + Match Brace command bound to Ctrl+E on both platforms with Ctrl+] a synonym on Windows. + Ctrl+Shift+E is select to matching brace. Brace matching tries to match to either the inside or the + outside, depending on whether the cursor is inside or outside the braces initially. + View End of Line bound to Ctrl+Shift+O. + +
- + The Home key may be bound to move the caret to either the start of the line or the start of the + text on the line. + +
- + Visual C++ project file for SciTE. + +

- + Very simple Windows-only demonstration application DMApp is available from cvs as dmapp. + +
- + Lexing functionality may optionally be included in Scintilla rather than be provided by + the container. + +
- + Set of lexers included is determined at link time by defining which of the Lex* object files + are linked in. + +
- + On Windows, the SciLexer.DLL extends Scintilla.DLL with the standard lexers. + +

- + Line folding in Scintilla. + +
- + SciTE performs syntax directed folding for C/C++/Java/JavaScript and for Python. + +
- + Optional macro recording support. + +
- + User properties file (SciTEUser.properties) allows for customization by the user + that is not overwritten with each installation of SciTE. + +
- + Python lexer detects and highlights inconsistent indentation. + +
- + Margin API made more orthogonal. SCI_SETMARGINWIDTH and SCI_SETLINENUMBERWIDTH + are deprecated in favour of this new API. + +
- + Margins may be made sensitive to forward mouse click events to container. + +

- + Caret policy determines how closely caret is tracked by visible area. + +
- + New marker shapes: arrow pointing down, plus and minus. + +
- + Optionally display full path in title rather than just file name. + +
- + Container is notified when Scintilla gains or loses focus. + +
- + SciTE handles focus in a more standard way and applies the main + edit commands to the focused pane. + +
- + Container is notified when Scintilla determines that a line needs to be made visible. + +
- + Document watchers receive notification when document about to be deleted. + +

- + Setting a null document pointer creates an empty document. + +
- + WM_GETTEXT can no longer overrun buffer. + +
- + Polygon drawing bug fixed on GTK+. + +
- + Java and JavaScript lexers merged into C++ lexer. + +
- + C++ lexer indicates unterminated strings by colouring the end of the line + rather than changing the rest of the file to string style. This is less + obtrusive and helps the folding. + +
+ Release 1.21 +

+
- + Released on 6 November 1999. + +
- + Major restructuring for better modularity and platform independence. + +
- + Inter-application drag and drop. + +
- + Printing support in Scintilla on Windows. + +
- + Styles can select colouring to end of line. This can be used when a file contains more than + one language to differentiate between the areas in each language. An example is the HTML + + JavaScript styling in SciTE. + +
- + Actions can be grouped in the undo stack, so they will be undone together. This grouping is + hierarchical so higher level actions such as replace all can be undone in one go. Call to + discover whether there are any actions to redo. + +
- + The set of characters that define words can be changed. + +
- + Markers now have identifiers and can be found and deleted by their identifier. The empty + marker type can be used to make a marker that is invisible and which is only used to trace + where a particular line moves to. + +
- + Double click notification. + +
- + HTML styling in SciTE also styles embedded JavaScript. + +
- + Additional tool commands can be added to SciTE. + +
- + SciTE option to allow reloading if changed upon application activation and saving on + application deactivation. Not yet working on GTK+ version. + +
- + Entry fields in search dialogs remember last 10 user entries. Not working in all cases in + Windows version. + +
- + SciTE can save a styled copy of the current file in HTML format. As SciTE does not yet + support printing, this can be used to print a file by then using a browser to print the + HTML file. + +
+ Release 1.02 +

+ Beta release 0.93 +
+-
+

- + GTK+ version now contains all features of Windows version with some very small differences. + Executing programs works much better now. + +
- + New palette code to allow more colours to be displayed in 256 colour screen modes. A line + number column can be displayed to the left of the selection margin. + +
- + The code that maps from line numbers to text positions and back has been completely + rewritten to be faster, and to allow markers to move with the text. + +
+ Beta release 0.91 +
+-
+
- + Released on 30 April 1999, containing fixes to text measuring to make Scintilla work better + with bitmap fonts. Also some small fixes to make compiling work with Visual C++. + +
+ Beta release 0.90 +
+-
+
- + Released on 29 April 1999, containing working GTK+/Linux version. + +

- + Released on 30th March 1999, containing bug fixes and a few more features. + +
- + Static linking supported and Tidy.EXE, a statically linked version of Tide.EXE. Changes to + compiler flags in the makefiles to optimize for size. + +
- + Scintilla supports a 'savepoint' in the undo stack which can be set by the container when + the document is saved. Notifications are sent to the container when the savepoint is + entered or left, allowing the container to to display a dirty indicator and change its + menus. + +
- + When Scintilla is set to read-only mode, a notification is sent to the container should the + user try to edit the document. This can be used to check the document out of a version + control system. + +
- + There is an API for setting the appearance of indicators. + +
- + The keyboard mapping can be redefined or removed so it can be implemented completely by the + container. All of the keyboard commands are now commands which can be sent by the + container. + +
- + A home command like Visual C++ with one hit going to the start of the text on the line and + the next going to the left margin is available. I do not personally like this but my + fingers have become trained to it by much repetition. + +
- + SCI_MARKERDELETEALL has an argument in wParam which is the number of the type marker to + delete with -1 performing the old action of removing all marker types. + +
- + Tide now understands both the file name and line numbers in error messages in most cases. + +
- + Tide remembers the current lines of files in the recently used list. + +
- + Tide has a Find in Files command. + +
+ Beta release 0.80 +
+-
+
- + This was the first public release on 14th March 1999, containing a mostly working Win32 + Scintilla DLL and Tide EXE. + +
