6 This file contains last minute notes to users about the release, which are not
7 included in the documentation or README files included with the distribution
8 kits. It also contains change information, for users who are interested in
9 what bugs have been fixed, and what features have been added in the current
12 If you are upgrading NEdit from a version prior to 5.0, please see the notes in
13 the README file which came with the (source or executable) distribution kit,
14 about updating macros and font settings in your .nedit file.
16 New Features in $NEXT_VERSION
18 - The macro variable $VERSION returns NEdit's version number.
20 - The new macro function filename_dialog() can be used to query a file
21 name from the user by using the usual file selection dialog.
24 Bugs fixed in $NEXT_VERSION
26 - Force a terminating \n on macro file load time, to prevent syntax errors
27 with statements on the last line. (util/fileUtils.c:ReadMacroFile())
30 - Fix multiple memory leaks in interpret.c:PromoteToGlobal()
33 - Fix for SF bug #1908890: window title not updated.
35 - Fix for SF bug #1730611: $match_syntax_based is not set.
37 - Crash on window close when a "File modified externally" dialog was up
40 - Crashes and artifacts when using ARGB visuals (SF bugs #1579544,
41 #1030467, #1030192, and #1458006).
43 - The text insertion cursor does no longer blink while typing
46 - The status bar reflects a changed keybinding in the shell command banner.
48 - There is now a pattern for highlighting nested command substitution in
49 shell scripts (SF patch #1010742).
51 - Duplicate display bugs SF#464967 and SF#1041077 are fixed.
53 - A typo in Ada's syntax highlighting patterns is fixed (SF bug #858874).
55 - The shell used to run programs from the shell_command() macro function
56 and from the Shell menu is now part of NEdit's normal settings, and no
57 longer in the X server's settings. It also defaults to the user's login
58 shell, not /bin/csh. This fixes SF#403738 and SF#880607.
60 - File history is now consistent across multiple sessions (SF bug #557032).
62 - If a macro file contains function definitions mixed with code segments
63 the code segments were excuted in the wrong order in certain cases. This
64 is fixed (SF bug #622291).
66 - The current file name is (again) displayed in the Save As dialog text
67 field. (SF bug #1451337)
69 - A crash caused by highlighting patterns with complex regular expressions
70 has been fixed. (SF bug #1536002)
72 - Crashes when the maximum number of patterns in a hightlighting pattern
73 set was exceeded, have been fixed. (SF bug #1536451)
75 - Files are now optionally opened without format changes (SF bug #1003241).
77 - Replace operation where the result exceeded a fixed length silently
78 clipped the result. The limit has been increased and the behaviour on
79 failure is now configurable. (SF bug #1015499)
81 - NEdit can now optionally detect and avoid symlinks (SF bug #1027788).
83 - A minor visual glitch has been fixed (SF bug #1055649).
85 - NEdit asks the user with a dialog if it detects that a document's file
86 is no longer accessible on disk. This dialog is changed to better match
87 expected usage pattern (SF bug #1066144).
89 - Various documentation bugs are fixed (SF bugs #1066765, #1078397, #1110024,
92 - Some minor usability bugs have been fixed (SF bugs #1371896, #1508608,
95 - New highlighting pattern are now used immediately (SF bug #1117848).
97 - Changes in case no longer modifiy the text if no change is actually
98 performed (SF bug #1333103).
100 - Some Linux distros ship with XKEYSYMDB set to a bogus filename which
101 breaks all Motif applications. NEdit ignores that, and let X fall back
102 on the default which is far more likely to work (SF bug #1564907).
104 - Fixed a problem in the macro language on 64-bit systems (SF bug #1625283).
106 - Long macro function names could cause a buffer overflow (SF bug #1640304).
108 - The built-in macro "Make C prototypes" choked on some comments (SF bug
111 - Fixed a small bug while inserting special characters (SF bug #682004).
113 - Fixed a translation bug which crashed NEdit on pressing osfInsert in the
114 help window (SF bug #1772468).
116 - Fixed bad exception handling of default macros (SF bug #1731384).
121 - The most important new feature is the introduction of window tabs
122 (SF patches #569287 and #893177).
124 - More efficient string search operations for the macro language.
126 - Auto-scrolling is now (partly) configurable through the preference menu.
128 - Find and Clear buttons for i-search bar (SF patch #891884).
130 - Faster user-defined menu creation (SF patch #891126).
132 - Open documents on current desktop (SF patch #963120)
134 - Superuser receives a warning when trying to overwrite a read-only file.
136 - Simplified global font resources.
138 - Macro language: added new $args[] array and removed 9 arguments limit
141 - Improved Latex & Python syntax highlighting patterns
145 - If underscore (_) is among the word delimiters for a language mode then
146 word boundary regexes will work as expected. (SF bug #1008656)
148 - Problem with writing history file on VMS (SF bug #933146).
150 - Race condition fix for running NEdit in -sync mode (SF bug #978104).
152 - Removed obsolete special window title treatment on SGI (SF bug #779454).

581 - Delayed secondary windows when executable statements specified in
582 users .neditmacro file
584 - Many corrections to online help

597 allows them to be changed externally.
600 Details of Regular Expression Changes in 5.1
604 o Fixed bug that caused character classes with a character range not to
605 work properly if one of the range characters was an escaped character.
607 Improvements In Existing Features
609 o Increased maximum number of capturing parentheses from 40 to 50.
611 o Removed optimization that uses `must match' strings (it didn't work and
612 caused more problems than it solved.)
614 o Improved error messages.
616 o Improved Start-Of-Line and End-Of-Line detection by the `^', `$', and the
617 new `\B' (see below) anchors. The Start-Of-Word and End-Of-Word anchors
618 `<' and `>' where not enhanced due to syntax color highlighting pattern
619 compatibility issues.
621 o Changed code to use "unsigned char" in most cases instead of "signed
622 char". Also, use of ANSI character functions (e.g. isdigit(), isspace())
623 were added wherever possible. These changes should improve support for
624 locales other than "C", for example character sets with accented
627 o Added character escapes for:
628 - \e ASCII escape character (for environments that use the EBCDIC
629 character set, set the EBCDIC_CHARSET compiler symbol to get the
630 EBCDIC equivalent escape character.)
636 o Removed the `\"' escape since `"' is not a meta character.
638 o In order to support numeric escapes, use of `\0' as a synonym for `&'
639 in replacement strings was removed. `\0' now signals the start of a
640 numeric (octal) escape sequence (see below.)
642 o Minor tweaks for improved performance.
646 o Octal and Hexadecimal Escapes
648 Octal and hexadecimal escapes begin with \0 and \x (or \X) respectively.
649 For example, \052 and \X2A both specify the `*' character. Escapes for
650 null (\00 or \x0) are not valid and will generate an error message.
652 o Shortcut Escapes for Common Character Classes
655 \l letters a-z and A-Z
656 \s whitespace \t, \r, \v, \f, and space
657 \w word characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and underscore, `_'
659 `\D', `\L', `\S', and `\W' are the same as the lowercase versions except
660 that the resulting character class is negated.
664 The `\B' non-word boundary anchor has been added as the logical opposite
665 of `<' and `>' collectively. This anchor ensures that the left and
666 right characters are either both delimiter characters or both
667 non-delimiter characters.
669 o Word Delimiter Escape Sequences
671 \y Word delimiter character
672 \Y Not a word delimiter character
674 The `\y' token matches any single character that is one of the characters
675 that NEdit recognizes as a word delimiter character, while the `\Y' token
676 matches any character that is NOT a word delimiter character. Note:
677 these are not anchors and DO consume one character of input.
682 + Minimal (lazy) Matching Quantifiers
684 *? Match zero or more
685 +? Match one at least one
688 These quantifiers match only what is absolutely necessary to achieve
691 + Counting (or Brace) Quantifier
693 {min,max} Match from `min' to `max' times the previous regular
696 If `min' is omitted, it is assumed to be zero. If `max' is omitted,
697 it is assumed to be infinity. Whether specified or assumed, `min'
698 must be less than or equal to `max'. If both are omitted, then the
699 construct is the same as `*'. Note that `{,}' and `{}' are both
700 valid brace constructs. A single number appearing without a comma,
701 e.g. `{3}' is short for the `{min,min}' construct, or to match
702 exactly `min' number of times.
704 o Non-Capturing Parentheses
706 Non-Capturing Parentheses are of the form `(?:<regex>)' and facilitate
707 grouping only and do not incur the overhead of normal capturing
710 o Positive Look-Ahead
712 Positive look-ahead constructs are of the form `(?=<regex>)' and
713 implement a zero width assertion of the enclosed regular expression. In
714 other words, a match of the regular expression contained in the positive
715 look-ahead construct is attempted. If it succeeds, control is passed to
716 the next regular expression atom, but the text that was consumed by the
717 positive look-ahead is first unmatched (backtracked) to the place in the
718 text where the positive look-ahead was first encountered.
720 o Negative Look-Ahead
722 Negative look-ahead takes the form `(?!<regex>)' and is exactly the same
723 as positive look-ahead except that the enclosed regular expression must
728 (?i<regex>) Case insensitive; `AbcD' and `aBCd' are equivalent.
729 (?I<regex>) Case sensitive; `AbcD' and `aBCd' are different.
731 Regular expressions are case sensitive by default, i.e `(?I<regex>)' is
732 assumed. All regular expression meta characters respond appropriately to
733 case insensitivity including character classes and back-references.
737 (?n<regex>) `.', `[^...]', `\s', `\S' will match newlines
738 (?N<regex>) `.', `[^...]', `\s', `\S' do not match newlines
740 `(?N<regex>)' is the default behavior.
744 Comments are of the form `(?#<comment text>)' and can be inserted
745 anywhere and have no effect on the execution of the regular expression.
747 o Notes on New Parenthetical Constructs
749 Except for plain parentheses, none of the parenthetical constructs
750 capture text. If that is desired, the construct must be wrapped with
751 capturing parentheses, e.g. `((?i<regex))'.
753 All parenthetical constructs can be nested as deeply as desired, except
754 for capturing parentheses which have a limit of 50 sets of parentheses,
755 regardless of nesting level.
758 New Features in 5.0.2:
760 - Word-selection (double click) can be used to select ranges of delimiters
762 - New built-in macro variables: $line, $column, and $modified
764 - Smart-indent mode available for Python language
766 - Minor improvements in default pattern sets for NEdit Macros, X Resources,
772 - -import did not work as advertised in 5.0.1. When used, it re-set a
773 number of preferences back to default values. Could also potentially
776 - Macro -> Repeat crashes on some systems.
778 - Mouse state can get "stuck" on Alpha-based systems.
780 - Combination of auto-wrap, auto-indent, and unbreakable lines extending the
781 width of the window, caused nedit to unnecessarily insert blank lines.
783 - Incorrect case-insensitive comparison in character sets > 128 bits.
785 - in by-word drag-selection (double click then drag) when begun in the middle
786 of a whitespace selection, anchor would revert to original cursor position
787 rather than maintaining the entire whitespace block.
789 - Language mode names containing spaces could not be used in language
790 sensitive user-defined menu items.
792 - New windows did not always see existing learn/replay sequence, recorded
793 before the window was created.
795 - Possible crash in search_string and search_window macros, when used with
798 - Possible crash in get_selection("any") macro.
800 - Under Solaris, crashes on window opening, file dialog, and language mode
801 selection, when user-defined sub-menus were used.
803 - Filenames containing spaces could cause the .neditdb file to become
806 - Escape key could not be used to cancel file-selection dialogs when the
807 file list had keyboard focus (which it almost always does).
810 New Features in 5.0.1:
812 - Repeat-over-range, and repeat-to-end capability for repeating last
813 command and learn/replay sequence.
815 - Import capability for loading macro/shell menu commands, highlight
816 patterns, and style sets created by other users.
818 - New macro language routines: string_to_clipboard, clipboard_to_string,
819 toupper, tolower, variables: $em_tab_dist.
821 - Additional default highlight patterns for sh and X resources.
823 - Sorted Open Previous menu.
825 - Numerous improvements to default highlighting patterns and smart indent
831 - Various crashes on Motif 2.0 (Linux and FreeBSD) systems, usually
832 associated with opening files and changing language modes. Usually,
833 but not necessarily, following changes to user-defined menu items.
835 - Background menu activation during drag operation could leave drag
836 unfinished, cause undo to malfunction, and eventually lead to a crash (which
837 was easy to trigger accidentally when the middle button is emulated with
838 mouse-chords on a two button mouse).
840 - X11R6 clients talking to X11R5 servers could crash on font dialog.
842 - Rapid repetition of long macros (such as binding to key and using keyboard
843 repeat) could cause crash.
845 - Several commands which put up dialogs were vulnerable to timing windows
846 where repeating the command could cause a crash.
848 - Calling macro close() routine could cause crash if used to close the window
849 in which the macro was executing.
851 - Using load_macro_file() as an "include" statement in macro files could
854 - Artifacts when using non-matching highlight fonts, and making certain types
855 of changes which change the fonts used to display other (not the line being
856 modified) lines in the file.
858 - Auto-newline wrap in overtype mode could duplicate part of wrapped text.
860 - Lower panes in split window mode allowed modification to read-only windows.
862 - Several minor dialog and window focus related problems for explicit (click
865 - Paste Column ignored existing selection.
867 - After copying and re-naming language mode information, highlight patterns
868 and smart indent macros remained attached to the re-named pattern instead of
871 - Trailing newlines should not have been prohibited in Open Selected.
873 - Help for creating smart indent macros was missing.
878 - Completed macro extension language (Simple C/awk-like syntax, safe,
881 - Syntax highlighting. Built-in patterns for C, C++, Java, Fortran, Pascal,
882 Ada, Perl, Python, Tcl, Awk, Csh, HTML, LaTeX, VHDL, Verilog, and more.
884 - Programmable Smart indent. (Experimentally, at least. There are only
885 macros for C and C++, and they may not fit everyone's programming style.)
887 - Language-sensitive preferences
889 - Continuous wrap mode (long line wrapping), in addition to existing
890 automatic-newline wrapping
892 - User-defined menus can be hierarchical and language-sensitive.
894 - Configurable right-button pop up menu
898 - Searchable on-line help
900 - Word boundary matching (<>) in regular expressions
904 - More dialogs have up-arrow recall
906 - White-space selection via double-click
909 Bug Fixes and Enhancements to Existing Features in 5.0
911 - No more limits on editing files containing ascii nul characters
913 - Fill Paragraph command handles leading indents
917 - Better directory defaulting in Open Selected and shell commands
919 - Open Selected processes tilde (~) and wildcards
921 - Goto Mark centers scroll position better
923 - Multiple shell commands can be run simultaneously
925 - Shell command execution doesn't block server command processing
927 - Emulated-tab deletion treats auto-indent as emulated tabs
929 - Auto-wrapping of pasted text is optional (off by default)
931 - Notice that default preferences have changed and ask about saving
934 - Selections remain selected after shell command and filter execution
936 - Wrap margin and emulated tab distance preferences are properly
937 transferred to new panes in split window mode
