Software Update: SciTE 4.1.6

Spread the love

Version 4.1.6 of SciTE has been released. Scintilla Text Editor is an open source and cross platform text editor. It uses the open source Scintilla Text Editor library, which is from the same creators. This library is also used by other programs, including Notepad++. Downloads are available for Windows and Linux, and a commercial version for macOS can be found in Apple’s app store. In addition, there is a stand-alone executable that can be conveniently carried on a USB stick. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Release 4.1.6

  • For Visual C++ 2019, /std:c++latest now includes some C++20 features so switch to /std:c++17.
  • SciTE supports editing files larger than 2 gigabytes when built as a 64-bit application.
  • Lexer added for X12. Feature #1280.
  • CMake folder folds function – endfunction. Feature #1289.
  • VB lexer adds support for VB2017 binary literal &B and digit separators 123_456. Feature #1288.
  • Improved performance of line folding code on large files when no folds are contracted. This improves the time taken to open or close large files.
  • Fix bug where changing identifier sets in lexers preserved previous identifiers.
  • Fixed bug where changing to Unicode would rediscover line end positions even if still sticking to ASCII (not Unicode NEL, LS, PS) line ends. Only noticeable on huge files with over 100,000 lines.
  • Changed behavior of SCI_STYLESETCASE(*,SC_CASE_CAMEL) so that it only treats ‘a-zA-Z’ as word characters because this covers the feature’s intended use (viewing case-insensitive ASCII-only keywords in a specified casing style) and simplifies the behavior and code. Feature #1238.
  • In SciTE added Camel case option “case:c” for styles to show keywords with initial capital.
