2020-07-07Added `lexer.colors` and `lexer.styles` and updated themes to utilize them.mitchell
This allows for a more Lua table-oriented approach to defining and using colors and styles, instead of manually manipulating Scintilla property strings. Themes are still backwards compatible, as the underlying mechanisms are still in place.
2020-06-28Renamed `ui.bufstatusbar_text` to `ui.buffer_statusbar_text`.mitchell
2020-06-28Changed keybinding modifier keys.mitchell
They had always been a bit counter-intuitive.
2020-06-10Renamed some buffer/view fields to use American English instead of Australian.mitchell
This requires theme updates, primarily due to colour -> color.
2020-06-10Replaced `lfs.dir_foreach()` with `lfs.walk()` generator.mitchell
2020-06-09Prefer `view.call_tip_*` instead of `buffer.call_tip_*`.mitchell
2020-06-08Prefer `view.property*` instead of `buffer.property*`.mitchell
2020-06-05Renamed `buffer:set_theme()` to `view:set_theme()` and fixed a bug with splits.mitchell
Also improved separate themes-per-view functionality.
2020-05-25Allow views to be used as buffers and update API.mitchell
This allows for a superficial separation of buffer- and view-specific Scintilla functionality. buffers and views can now be used interchangeably for the most part, and the APIs are guidance, not hard requirements. User scripts do not require any modification and will continue to function normally.
2020-05-09Updated migration guide with lexer updates.mitchell
2020-04-05Updated curses compatibility.mitchell
2020-03-30Fixed off-by-one issues with `buffer:get_cur_line()`.mitchell

2020-03-17Added initial migration guide from Textadept 10 to 11.mitchell
2020-03-16Moved individual buffer functions in `io` into `buffer`.mitchell
e.g. `io.reload_buffer()` was renamed `buffer:reload()`.
2020-02-21Removed '_' mnemonics from locale keys.mitchell
Kept backward-compatibility for now.
2019-09-22Replaced `ui.command_entry.*_mode()` with simplified `ui.command_entry.run()`.mitchell
The command entry no longer uses named key modes. Instead, mode keys are supplied to `run()` if necessary. The command entry remains modal, though.
2019-07-30Fail more gracefully when attempting to create buffers on init.mitchell
2019-07-30Document the inability to create buffers during initialization.mitchell
2019-07-30Use CP1252 instead of ISO-8859-1.mitchell
CP1252 is a superset of ISO-8859-1.
2019-06-01GTK+ was renamed to GTK recently.mitchell
2018-11-27Added command line switch to jump to a buffer line.mitchell
This is more convenient than '-e "goto_line(n - 1)"'.
2018-11-01Updated manual and CHANGELOG.md.mitchell
2018-05-22Note lack of ability to search for newline characters in regexes.mitchell

2018-03-19Clarified `M-` modifier key for the terminal version in the manual.mitchell
2018-03-12Start using Scintilla's LongTerm3, which now includes Scintillua and Scinterm.mitchell
Since LongTerm3 requires a C++11 compiler, GCC 4.9+ is required. Since C++11 includes regex capability, drop TRE dependency.
2018-02-24Terminal key sequence for Ctrl+Space is now 'c ' instead of 'c@'.mitchell
2018-02-16Save to the loaded session on quit and removed `default_session` option.mitchell
