Download SciTE 3.7.1

Version 3.7.1 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 3.7.1

• The Scintilla namespace is no longer applied to struct definitions in Scintilla.h even when SCI_NAMESPACE defined. Client code should not define SCI_NAMESPACE.
• Structure names in Scintilla.h without prefixes are deprecated and will now only be usable with INCLUDE_DEPRECATED_FEATURES defined.
  Use the newer names with the “Sci_” prefix:
  CharacterRange → Sci_CharacterRange
  TextRange → Sci_TextRange
  TextToFind → Sci_TextToFind
  RangeToFormat → Sci_RangeToFormat
  NotifyHeader → Sci_NotifyHeader
• Previously deprecated features SC_CP_DBCS, SCI_SETUSE PALETTE. and SCI_GETUSEPALETTE have been removed and can no longer be used in client code.
• Accessibility support allowing screen readers to work added on GTK+ and Cocoa.
• Textual tags may be displayed to the right on folded lines with SCI_TOGGLEFOLDSHOWTEXT. This is commonly something like “{ … }” or “
  …

  “. It is displayed with the STYLE_FOLDDISPLAYTEXT style and may have a box drawn around it with SCI_FOLDDISPLAYTEXTSETSTYLE.

• A mouse right-click over the margin may send an SCN_MARGINRIGHTCLICK event. This only occurs when popup menus are turned off. SCI_USEPOPUP now has three states: SC_POPUP_NEVER, SC_POPUP_ALL, or SC_POPUP_TEXT.
• INDIC_POINT and INDIC_POINTCHARACTER indicators added to display small arrows underneath positions or characters.
• Added alternate appearance for visible tabs which looks like a horizontal line. Controlled with SCI_SETTABDRAWMODE. Feature #1165.
• On Cocoa, a modulemap file is included to allow Scintilla to be treated as a module. This makes it easier to use Scintilla from the Swift language.
• Baan folder accommodates sections and lexer fixes definition of SCE_BAAN_FUNCDEF.
• EDIFACT lexer and folder added. Feature #1166.
• JSON folder fixed where it didn’t resume folding with the correct fold level.
• Matlab folder based on syntax instead of indentation so more accurate. Bug #1692.
• YAML lexer fixed style of references and keywords when followed by a comment. Bug #1872.
• Margin click to select line now clears rectangular and additional selections.
• Fixed a NULL access bug on GTK+ where the scrollbars could be used during destruction. Bug #1873.
• A potential bug on GTK+ fixed where asynchronous clipboard could be delivered after its target Scintilla instance was destroyed.
• Cocoa IME made more compliant with documented behavior to avoid bugs that caused huge allocations. Bug #1881.
• On Win32 fix EM_SETSEL to match Microsoft documentation.. Bug #1886.
• SciTE on GTK+ allows localizing tool bar tool tips. Feature #1167.
• SciTE on Windows restores focus to edit pane after closing user strip.
• SciTE measures files larger that 2 GB which allows it to refuse to open huge files more consistently and to show better warning messages.
