- For Qt on Windows, stop specifying -std:c++latest as that is no longer needed to enable C++17 with MSVC 2017 and Qt 5.12 and it caused duplicate flag warnings.
- On Linux, enable Lua to access dynamic libraries. Bug #2058.

### Release 4.1.2

- Released 2 October 2018.
- C++ lexer fixes evaluation of "#elif". Bug #2045.
- Markdown lexer fixes highlighting of non-ASCII characters in links.
- SciTE on Win32 drops menukey feature, makes Del key work again in find and replace strips and disables F5 while command running. Bug #2044.

### Release 4.1.1

- Released 9 September 2018.
- Optional indexing of line starts in UTF-8 documents by UTF-32 code points and UTF-16 code units added. This can improve performance for clients that provide UTF-32 or UTF-16 interfaces or that need to interoperate with UTF-32 or UTF-16 components.
- Lexers added for SAS and Stata. Feature #1185.
- Shell folder folds "if", "do", and "case". Feature #1144.
- SciTE's menukey feature implemented on Windows.

- Fix crash on Win32 when switching technology to default after setting bidirectional mode.
- Fix margin cursor on Cocoa to point more accurately.
- Fix SciTE crash on GTK+ when using director interface.

### Release 4.1.0

- 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.
- Regular expression crash fixed on macOS when linking to libstdc++.
- SciTE on GTK+, when running in single-instance mode, now forwards all command line arguments to the already running instance. This allows "SciTE filename -goto:line" to work.

### Release 4.0.5

- Released 10 May 2018.
- Add experimental SC_DOCUMENTOPTION_TEXT_LARGE option to accommodate documents larger than 2 GigaBytes.
- Additional print option SC_PRINT_SCREENCOLOURS prints with the same colours used on screen including line numbers.
- SciTE can read settings in EditorConfig format when enabled with editor.config.enable property.
- EDIFACT lexer adds property lexer.edifact.highlight.un.all to highlight all UN* segments. Feature #1166.
- Fortran folder understands "change team" and "endteam". Feature #1216.
- 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.
- For rectangular selections, pressing Home or End now moves the caret to the Home or End position instead of the limit of the rectangular selection.
- 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

- Released 12 February 2018.
- Features from C++14 and C++17 are used more often, with build files now specifying c++17, gnu++17, c++1z, or std:c++latest (MSVC). Requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2017.5, GCC 7, Xcode 9.2 or Clang 4.0 or newer.
- SCI_CREATEDOCUMENT adds a bytes argument to allocate memory for an initial size. SCI_CREATELOADER and SCI_CREATEDOCUMENT add a documentOption argument to allow choosing different document capabilities.
- Add SC_DOCUMENTOPTION_STYLES_NONE option to stop allocating memory for styles.
- Add SCI_GETMOVEEXTENDSSELECTION to allow applications to add more complex selection commands.
- SciTE property bookmark.symbol allows choosing symbol used for bookmarks. Feature #1208.
- Improve VHDL lexer's handling of character literals and escape characters in strings.
- Fix double tap word selection on Windows 10 1709 Fall Creators Update. Bug #1983.
- Fix closing autocompletion lists on Cocoa for macOS 10.13 where the window was emptying but staying visible. Bug #1981.
- Fix drawing failure on Cocoa with animated find indicator in large files with macOS 10.12 by disabling animation.
- SciTE on GTK+ installs its desktop file as non-executable and supports the common LDLIBS make variable. Bug #1989, Bug #1990.
- SciTE shows correct column number when caret in virtual space. Bug #1991.
- SciTE preserves selection positions when saving with strip.trailing.spaces and virtual space turned on. Bug #1992.

### Release 4.0.2

- Released 26 October 2017.
- Fix HTML lexer handling of Django so that nesting a {{ }} or {% %} Django tag inside of a {# #} Django comment does not break highlighting of rest of file
- The Matlab folder now treats "while" as a fold start. Bug #1985.
- Fix failure on Cocoa with animated find indicator in large files with macOS 10.13 by disabling animation on 10.13.
- Fix Cocoa hang when Scintilla loaded from SMB share on macOS 10.13. Bug #1979.

### Release 4.0.1

- Released 23 October 2017.
- The ILoader interface is defined in its own header ILoader.h as it is not related to lexing so doesn't belong in ILexer.h.
- 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.
  #define A is treated as #define A 1.
  "defined A" removes "A" before replacing "defined" with value. Bug #1966.
- The Python folder treats triple-quoted f-strings like triple-quoted strings. Bug #1977.
- The SQL lexer uses sql.backslash.escapes for double quoted strings. Bug #1968.
- Minor undefined behaviour fixed. Bug #1978.
- On Cocoa, improve scrolling on macOS 10.12. Bug #1885.
- On Cocoa, fix line selection by clicking in the margin when scrolled. Bug #1971.

### 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.
- SciTE on macOS fixes a crash when platform-specific and platform-independent session restoration clashed. Bug #1960.

- SciTE on Windows Find strip Find button works in incremental no-close mode. Bug #1926.

### Release 3.7.4

- Released 21 March 2017.
- Requires a C++11 compiler. GCC 4.8 and MSVC 2015 are supported.
- Support dropped for Windows NT 4.
- Accessibility support may be queried with SCI_GETACCESSIBILITY. On GTK+, accessibility may be disabled by calling SCI_SETACCESSIBILITY.
- Lexer added for "indent" language which is styled as plain text but folded by indentation level.

- Fix to prevent double scrolling on GTK+ with X11. Bug #1901.
- SciTE on GTK+ adds an "accessibility" property to allow disabling accessibility on GTK+ as an optimization.
- SciTE on GTK+ has changed file chooser behaviour for some actions: overwriting an existing file shows a warning; the default session file name "SciTE.session" is shown and a "*.session" filter is applied; appropriate filters are applied when exporting; the current file name is displayed in "Save As" even when that file no longer exists.
- SciTE fixed a bug where, on GTK+, when the output pane had focus, menu commands performed by mouse were sent instead to the edit pane.
- SciTE on Windows 8+ further restricts the paths searched for DLLs to the application and system directories which may prevent some binary planting attacks.

  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_SETUSEPALETTE. and SCI_GETUSEPALETTE have been removed and can no longer be used in client code.
- Single phase drawing SC_PHASES_ONE is deprecated along with the SCI_SETTWOPHASEDRAW and SCI_GETTWOPHASEDRAW messages.

- 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.
- The number of margins can be changed with SCI_SETMARGINS.

- SC_CHARSET_DEFAULT now means code page 1252 on Windows unless a code page is set. This prevents unexpected behaviour and crashes on East Asian systems where default locales are commonly DBCS. Projects which want to default to DBCS code pages in East Asian locales should set the code page and character set explicitly.
- SCVS_NOWRAPLINESTART option stops left arrow from wrapping to the previous line. Most commonly wanted when virtual space is used. Bug #1648.

- 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 adds an output.blank.margin.left property to allow setting the output pane margin to a different width than the edit pane.
- CoffeeScript lexer highlights ranges correctly. Bug #1765.
- Markdown lexer treats line starts consistently to always highlight *foo* or similar at line start. Bug #1766.
- Optimize marker redrawing by only drawing affected lines when markers shown in the text.

- MySql lexer fixes empty comments /**/ so the comment state does not continue.
- VHDL folder supports "protected" keyword.
- Treat CRLF line end as two characters in SCI_COUNTCHARACTERS. Bug #1757.

### 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.
- Autocompletion lists send an SCN_AUTOCCOMPLETED notification after the text has been inserted. Feature #1109.

- Report error when attempt to resize buffer to more than 2GB with SC_STATUS_FAILURE.
- Fix bug on GTK+ with scroll bars leaking. Bug #1742.
- LexOthers.cxx file split into one file per lexer: LexBatch, LexDiff, LexErrorList, LexMake, LexNull, and LexProps.
- SciTE exporters handle styles > 127 correctly now.
- SciTE on Windows can scale window element sizes based on the system DPI setting.
- SciTE implements find.in.files.close.on.find on all platforms, not just Windows.

### Release 3.5.7

- Released 20 June 2015.
- Added SCI_MULTIPLESELECTADDNEXT to add the next occurrence of the main selection within the target to the set of selections as main. If the current selection is empty then select word around caret.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- There is a SCI_AUTOCSTOPS message for defining a string of characters that will stop autocompletion mode. Autocompletion mode is cancelled when any cursor movement occurs apart from backspace.
- GTK+ version now splits horizontally as well as vertically and all dialogs cancel when the escape key is pressed.

### Beta release 0.93

- Released on 12 May 1999.
- A bit more robust than 0.92 and supports SCI_MARKERNEXT message.

### Beta release 0.92

- Released on 11 May 1999.
- 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.
- The Java, C++ and Python lexers recognize operators as distinct from default allowing them to be highlighted.

### Beta release 0.82

- Released on 1 April 1999, to fix a problem with handling the Enter key in PythonWin. Also fixes some problems with cmd key mapping.

### Beta release 0.81

- 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.
