From Craig Barnes via Github PR. Closes #47. v1.8.2 (latest release) ----------------------- Released on 2019-04-23. **Changes:** * Fixed makefile to work with GNU Make 3.81 (which is still used by OS X and Ubuntu 14.04). v1.8.1 ------ Released on 2019-04-22. **Fixes:** * Fixed parsing of escaped special characters in command arguments (which was causing Lua syntax highlighting to fail). * Removed use of `rep` (repeat character) control sequence, due to problems caused by certain terminal emulators that claim to be "xterm" but don't support the full set of features in the xterm `terminfo(5)` entry (notably, the FreeBSD 12 console). **Additions:** * Show a confirmation prompt if Ctrl+q (quit) is pressed with unsaved changes, instead of a cryptic error message. v1.8 ---- Released on 2019-04-18. **Additions:** * Added support for 24-bit RGB terminal colors. * Added support for `strikethrough` terminal attribute. * Added support for `alias` names containing multi-byte Unicode characters. * Added `refresh` command (to force a full screen redraw). * Added `dte -K` command-line option (for keycode debugging). * Added support for reading a buffer from `stdin` at startup. * Added support for binding Ctrl/Alt/Shift + F1-F12 on xterm-like terminals. * Added `-s` flag to `bol` command, to allow moving to beginning of indented text, before moving to beginning of line (a.k.a "smart home"). * Added `-c` flag to all cursor movement commands, to allow selecting characters while moving. * Added `-l` flag to `up`, `down`, `pgup` and `pgdown` commands, to allow selecting whole lines while moving. * Added default bindings for various Shift+key combinations, for doing GUI-style text selections. * Added key bindings to command mode for deleting/erasing whole words (Alt+Delete and Alt+Backspace). **Improvements:** * Optimized built-in filetype detection. * Fixed cursor interaction with Unicode combining characters. * Improved handling of Unicode whitespace and unprintable characters. * Updated character class lookup tables to Unicode 11. * Expanded documentation for `hi` and `compile` commands. * Optimized code to reduce editor startup and input latency. **Breaking changes:** * Changed the `bind` command to be much more strict when parsing key strings and show an error message when invalid. The caret (`^`) modifier can now only be used alone (not in combination with other modifiers) and the `C-`, `M-` and `S-` modifiers *must* be uppercase. * Removed support for chained key bindings (e.g. `bind '^X c' ...`). Commands that aren't bound to simple key combinations can just be accessed via command mode. * Removed support for recognizing some Ctrl/Alt/Shift key combinations produced by the `rxvt` terminal emulator. The key codes produced by `rxvt` violate the [ECMA-48] specification. Users of such terminals are encouraged to configure the key codes to mimic `xterm` instead. v1.7 ---- Released on 2018-05-08. **Changes:** * Added support for opening multiple files using glob patterns (e.g. `open -g *.[ch]`). * Added support for binding more xterm extended key combinations (Ctrl/Meta/Shift + PageUp/PageDown/Home/End). * Improved compiler error parsing for newer versions of GCC. * Improved handling of underline/dim/italic terminal attributes (including support for the `ncv` terminfo capability). * Many other small bug fixes and code improvements. v1.6 ---- Released on 2017-12-20. **Changes:** * Added new, default `dark` color scheme. * Added Ctrl+G key binding to exit command mode. * Added Ctrl+H key binding for `erase` command. * Added syntax highlighting for TeX and roff (man page) files. * Improved syntax highlighting of Python numeric literals. * Improved syntax highlighting for CSS files. * Added `ft -b` command for detecting file types from file basenames. * Converted user documentation to Markdown format. * Created new [website] for online documentation. * Added support for terminfo extended (or "user-defined") capabilities. * Added built-in support for `st` and `rxvt` terminals. * Fixed some built-in regex patterns to avoid non-portable features. * Fixed compiler warnings on NetBSD. * Removed tilde expansion of `~username` from command mode, in order to avoid using `getpwnam(3)` and thereby allow static linking with GNU libc on Linux.
