Download SciTE 5.4.1

Version 5.4.1 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 makers. 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. There is also a standalone executable that can be conveniently carried on a USB stick. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Release 5.4.1

• Add IDocumentEditable interface to allow efficient interaction with document objects which may not be visible in a Scintilla instance. This feature is provisional and may change before being declared stable. For better type-safety, the ScintillaCall C++ API uses IDocumentEditable* where void* was used before which may require changes to client code that uses document pointer APIs DocPointer, SetDocPointer, CreateDocument, AddRefDocument, and ReleaseDocument.
• Ctrl-click on a selection deselects it in multiple selection mode.
• Add SCI_SELECTIONFROMPOINT for modifying multiple selections.
• Add SCI_SETMOVEEXTENDSSELECTION and SCI_CHANGESELECTIONMODE to simplify selection mode manipulation.
• Improve performance of global replace by reducing cache invalidation overhead. Feature #1502.
• Fix regular expression search for “\” not matching line end. Bug #2157.
• Fix regular expression search failure when search for “\“. Bug #2413.
• Fix regular expression assertion (^, ​​$, \b. \B) failures when using SCFIND_CXX11REGEX. Bug #2405.
• Fix regular expression bug in reverse direction where shortened match returned. Bug #2405.
• Avoid character fragments in regular expression search results. Bug #2405.
• With a document that does not have the SC_DOCUMENTOPTION_TEXT_LARGE option set, allocating more than 2G (calling SCI_ALLOCATE or similar) will now fail with SC_STATUS_FAILURE.
• Protect SCI_REPLACETARGET, SCI_REPLACETARGETMINIMAL, and SCI_REPLACETARGETRE from application changing target in notification handlers. Bug #2289.
