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 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

• Released 20 January 2015.
• Support removed for Windows 95, 98, and ME.
• 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

• Released 30 September 2014.
• BibTeX lexer added. Feature #1071.
• SQL lexer supports the q-quote operator as SCE_SQL_QOPERATOR(24).
• VHDL lexer supports block comments. Bug #1527.
• VHDL folder fixes case where "component" used before name. Bug #613.
• Restore fractional pixel tab positioning which was truncated to whole pixels in 3.5.0. Bug #1652.
• Allow choice between windowed and inline IME on some platforms.
• 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.
• KiXtart lexer adds a block comment state. Feature #1053.
• Matlab lexer fixes transpose operations like "X{1}'". Bug #1629.
• Ruby lexer fixes bugs with the syntax of symbols including allowing a symbol to end with '?'. Bug #1627.

• Bug fixed where style data was stale when deleting a rectangular selection.
• Bug fixed where annotations disappeared when SCI_CLEARDOCUMENTSTYLE called.
• Bug fixed where selection not redrawn after SCI_DELWORDRIGHT. Bug #1633.

• Fix a memory leak on GTK+ with autocompletion lists. Bug #1638.
• On GTK+, use the full character width for the overstrike caret for multibyte characters.
• On Qt, set list icon size to largest icon. Add padding on OS X. Bug #1634.
• On Qt, fix building on FreeBSD 9.2. Bug #1635.
• On Qt, add a get_character method on the document. Feature #1064.

• 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.
• C++ lexer fixes raw string recognition so that R"xxx(blah)xxx" is styled as SCE_C_STRINGRAW.
• The Postscript lexer no longer marks token edges with indicators as this used style byte indicators.
• The Scriptol lexer no longer displays indicators for poor indentation as this used style byte indicators.
• TCL lexer fixes names of keyword sets. Bug #1615.
• Shell lexer fixes fold matching problem caused by "<<<". Bug #1605.
• Fix bug where indicators were not removed when fold highlighting on. Bug #1604.
• 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.
• For SciTE on GTK+ fix bug with initialisation of toggle buttons in find and replace strips. Bug #1612.

• Line state may be displayed in the line number margin to aid in debugging lexing and folding with SC_FOLDFLAG_LINESTATE (128).
• 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.
• SciTE performs word and search match highlighting as an idle task to improve interactivity and allow use of these features on large files.
• Bug fixed on Cocoa where previous caret lines were visible. Bug #1593.
• Bug fixed where caret remained invisible when period set to 0. Bug #1592.
• Fixed display flashing when scrolling with GTK+ 3.10. Bug #1567.

• Added wrap mode SC_WRAP_WHITESPACE which only wraps on whitespace, not on style changes.
• SciTE find and replace strips can perform incremental searching and temporary highlighting of all matches with the find.strip.incremental, replace.strip.incremental, and find.indicator.incremental settings.
• SciTE default settings changed to use strips for find and replace and to draw with Direct2D and DirectWrite on Windows.
• SciTE on Windows scales image buttons on the find and replace strips to match the current system scale factor.
• Additional assembler lexer variant As(SCLEX_AS) for Unix assembly code which uses '#' for comments and ';' to separate statements.

• Fortran folder improved. Treats "else" as fold header. Feature #962.
• 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.

• SciTE on Windows XP fixes bad display of find and replace values when using strips.

Release 3.3.6

• 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.
• Perl lexer fixes bugs with multi-byte characters, including in HEREDOCs and PODs. Bug #1528.
• SQL folder folds 'create view' statements. Feature #1020.
• Visual Prolog lexer updated with better support for string literals and Unicode. Feature #1025.
• 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.
• 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.
• On Cocoa, SCI_POSITIONFROMPOINTCLOSE fixed when view scrolled. Feature #1021.
• On Cocoa, don't send selection change notification when scrolling. Bug #1522.
• On Qt, turn off idle events on destruction to prevent repeatedly calling idle.
• Qt bindings in ScintillaEdit changed to use signed first parameter.
• Compilation errors fixed on Windows and GTK+ with SCI_NAMESPACE.
• On Windows, building with gcc will check if Direct2D headers are available and enable Direct2D if they are.
• Avoid attempts to redraw empty areas when lexing beyond the currently visible lines.
• Control more attributes of indicators in SciTE with find.mark.indicator and highlight.current.word.indicator properties.
• Fix SciTE bug with buffers becoming read-only. Bug #1525.
• Fix linking SciTE on non-Linux Unix systems with GNU toolchain by linking to libdl. Bug #1523.
• On Windows, SciTE's Incremental Search displays match failures by changing the background colour instead of not adding the character that caused failure.
• Fix SciTE on GTK+ 3.x incremental search to change foreground colour when no match as changing background colour is difficult.

• SciTE resizes panes proportionally when switched between horizontal and vertical layout. Feature #3376784.
• SciTE on GTK+ opens multiple files into a single instance more reliably. Bug #3363754.

Release 2.28

• Released 1 August 2011.
• GTK+ Cairo support works back to GTK+ version 2.8. Requires changing Scintilla source code to enable before GTK+ 2.22. Bug #3322351.
• Translucent images in RGBA format can be used for margin markers and in autocompletion lists.
• INDIC_DOTBOX added as a translucent dotted rectangular indicator.
• Asian text input using IME works for GTK+ 3.x and GTK+ 2.x with Cairo.
• On GTK+, IME works for Ctrl+Shift+U Unicode input in Scintilla. For SciTE, Ctrl+Shift+U is still Make Selection Uppercase.
• Key bindings for GTK+ on OS X made compatible with Cocoa port and platform conventions.
• Cocoa port supports different character encodings, improves scrolling performance and drag image appearance. The control ID is included in WM_COMMAND notifications. Text may be deleted by dragging to the trash. ScrollToStart and ScrollToEnd key commands added to simplify implementation of standard OS X Home and End behaviour.
• SciTE on GTK+ uses a paned widget to contain the edit and output panes instead of custom code. This allows the divider to be moved easily on GTK+ 3 and its appearance follows GTK+ conventions more closely.
• SciTE builds and installs on BSD. Bug #3324644.
• Cobol supports fixed format comments. Bug #3014850.
• Mako template language block syntax extended and ## comments recognised. Feature #3325178. Bug #3318818.
• Folding of Mako template language within HTML fixed. Bug #3324563.
• Python lexer has lexer.python.keywords2.no.sub.identifiers option to avoid highlighting second set of keywords following '.'. Bug #3325333.
• Python folder fixes bug where fold would not extend to final line. Bug #3349157.
• SciTE treats LPEG lexers the same as script lexers by setting all 8 style bits.
• For Cocoa, crashes with unsupported font variants and memory leaks for colour objects fixed.
• Shift-JIS lead byte ranges modified to match Windows.
• Mouse pointer changes over selection to an arrow more consistently. Bug #3315756.
• Bug fixed with annotations beyond end of document. Bug #3347268.
• Incorrect drawing fixed for combination of background colour change and translucent selection. Bug #3377116.
• Lexers initialized correctly when started at position other than start of line. Bug #3377148.
• Fold highlight drawing fixed for some situations. Bug #3323015. Bug #3323805.
• Case insensitive search fixed for cases where folded character uses fewer bytes than base character. Bug #3362038.
• SciTE bookmark.alpha setting fixed. Bug #3373907.

Release 2.27

• Released 20 June 2011.
• On recent GTK+ 2.x versions when using Cairo, bug fixed where wrong colours were drawn.
• SciTE on GTK+ slow performance in menu maintenance fixed. Bug #3315233.
• Cocoa platform supports 64-bit builds and uses only non-deprecated APIs. Asian Input Method Editors are supported. Autocompletion lists and calltips implemented. Control identifier used in notifications.
• On Cocoa, rectangular selection now uses Option/Alt key to be compatible with Apple Human Interface Guidelines and other applications. The Control key is reported with an SCMOD_META modifier bit.
• API added for setting and retrieving the identifier number used in notifications.
• SCI_SETEMPTYSELECTION added to set selection without scrolling or redrawing more than needed. Feature #3314877.
• Added new indicators. INDIC_DASH and INDIC_DOTS are variants of underlines. INDIC_SQUIGGLELOW indicator added as shorter alternative to INDIC_SQUIGGLE for small fonts. Bug #3314591
• Margin line selection can be changed to select display lines instead of document lines. Bug #3312763.
• On Windows, SciTE can perform reverse searches by pressing Shift+Enter in the Find or Replace strips or dialogs.
• Matlab lexer does not special case '\' in single quoted strings. Bug #948757 Bug #1755950 Bug #1888738 Bug #3316852.
• Verilog lexer supports SystemVerilog folding and keywords.
• Font leak fixed. Bug #3306156.
• Automatic scrolling works for long wrapped lines. Bug #3312763.
• Multiple typing works for cases where selections collapse together. Bug #3309906.
