Hi

Our websites had some trouble since the PHP update on the SourceForge
project web.
All sites (main site, plugin site, community site) should now be up and
running again.

As this time there were some rather subtle changes necessary I might have
missed some places.
So if you see something not working properly, please let me know and I'll
have a look.

All sites now also work with HTTPS and except for the export feeds the HTTP
variants also redirect to the HTTPS one.

Best regards
Björn

Hi,

two week ago most of the websites, feeds, lists and so on were not working
anymore due to an update SourceForge made.

In the meantime I hopefully fixed all those problems on the main page,
plugins page, community page, feeds, lists, ....
So hopefully everything is up and working again properly.
If you find anything that is still behaving funky, please let me know.


The problem, that plugin installation sometimes does not work is not
related to this.
Not all plugins are available on all mirrors (some even just on one and we
cannot influence that).
If a plugin you want to install is not available on the mirror you
selected, you are redirected to a mirror that has the plugin.
This redirect URL by SourceForge has changed in the past and now triggers a
bug in jEdit that is already fixed in the trunk code.
So to install a plugin, you either have to try all mirrors in turn until
you find one that has the plugin, install it manually by downloading it
from plugins.jedit.org, or use a source build from latest trunk code.

Best regards
Björn

1 New plugins and 1 Updated plugins

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New Plugins:
{{{  InputReplace 1.0.0
Plugin Description: <html>
<head lang="en">
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <title>InputReplace Plugin Description</title>
</head>
<body>
The InputReplace plugin provides a facility for expanding input
character sequences
into replacement text, similar to abbreviations but without the requirement of
expanding a whole word at a time. It is useful for inserting
characters not found
in your keyboard layout, such as turning "e'" into "é" or "c/" into "¢".
<p/>
The primary advantage over jEdit's built-in abbreviations is that these
replacements can be used within words, rather than just with whole words.
<p/>
This allows you to define, say, a single replacement e' &#8594; é and use it to
quickly enter both café and débutante. To enter café, you would type cafe' and
activate "Input Replace at Caret" after the whole word; to enter débutante, you
would type de', activate "Input Replace at Caret", and then finish typing the
word.
<p/>
One can also define custom BeanShell functions to perform more
complicated replacements.
</body>
</html>
}}}

Updated Releases:
{{{  LookAndFeel 2.2
Announcement: German language update (rschwenn), fixed some issues
with Nimbus L&F.
Plugin Description: The LookAndFeel plugin provides several additional
look-and-feel implementations which allow skinning of the GUI by means
of "themepacks".

Hello everyone,

I proudly present jEdit 5.5.0, the first stable release of the 5.5
series of jEdit.

Detailed changes can as always be found in the Change Log attached in
the end of this email, but here are some of the major features of this
version:

    * Untitled buffers are now also autosaved
    * Autosave files can be stored inside a certain directory like
backup files instead of besides the original file

Some of the plugins (e.g. Lucene) may not yet be compatible, but at
least the core works fine on it now

- Updated NumericTextField to allow decimal numbers and only allow negative sign
  at the start of a number. (Dale Anson)

}}}
{{{ Miscellaneous

- Updated printing system with jEdit specific printer dialog, accurate page
  range printing, current page printing, printing of selected text only, ability
  to show page breaks in the text area. (Dale Anson)

- The plugin manager now uses a different URL scheme where the mirror is a URL
  parameter and not part of the hostname anymore and follows URL redirection
  properly. This way a file can always be downloaded as we get redirected to a
  mirror that has the requested file available. Now dead mirrors do not cause
  the download to fail anymore due to unknown hostname and files that are only
  available on few mirrors (seldom downloaded files are only available on one
  mirror sometimes) also work properly. The selected mirror is just the
  preferred one that is used if the file is available there, just as the label
  always suggested anyway. (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

}}}
{{{ API Changes

- jEdit now requires/can make use of Java 1.8 language / libraries.

- new org.gjt.sp.utils.GenericGUIUtilities class, containing bits of
  org.gjt.sp.jedit.GUIUtilities suitable for the standalone TextArea
  package; all methods kept but deprecated and proxies (Eric Le Lay).

- refactor Help table of contents loading code to a separate class
  (HelpTOCLoader). Make relevant members public, so the help TOC
  is accessible to other code, e.g. the HelpServer plugin (Eric Le Lay).

}}}
{{{ Editing

- Batch mode updates (Patch #594 - Jean-Francois Larvoire)

- Unicode brackets (Patch #566 - Makarius)

- Updates for objectrexx mode (Patch #585 - Jack J. Woehr)

- Mode for m4 macro processor language (Patch #586 - Jack J. Woehr)

- Drawj2d edit mode (Patch #573 - A. Vontobel)

- Rust edit mode raw string fix (Patch #575 - Jordan Miner)

- Mode for Mavscript 2.0 (Patch #574 - A. Vontobel)

- New mode for swift (Patch #587 - Wayne Zhang)

- New mode for Java 9 module-info.java files (Dale Anson)

- Updated CSS mode provided by AdamS (Ticket #4003 - Dale Anson)

jEdit buffer local properties:
:maxLineLen=80:wrap=hard:autoIndent=simple:noTabs=true:indentSize=2:tabSize=2:
:folding=explicit:collapseFolds=2:

Alrighty. Looks like everything is working again.

Thank you for your patience.

Sorry folks. There seems to be an issue with SF.net.

The files are stuck in pending mode.

I'm working with a site admin to get it resolved.

I'll report back here when it's cleared up.

Thanks,
Eric

I'm proud to present jEdit 5.2.0 (Final).

My first one, so cross your fingers, be kind, and definitely let us know of
any issues.

jEdit 5.2 version history
       (changes since jEdit 5.1.0)
:encoding=UTF-8:

{{{ Version 5.2.0

Thanks to Björn "Vampire" Kautler, Makarius, Dale Anson, Alan Ezust,
Matt Galligan, Eric Le Lay, Makarius, and Matthieu Casanova for
contributing to
this release.

{{{ Bug Fixes

- EnhancedDialog does not throw NullPointerExceptions anymore when checking
  whether a pressed key is the buffer close shortcut. (Björn "Vampire"
Kautler)

- When using extra vertical line spacing and a selection foreground color,
the
  selected text was painted twice, once with the extra spacing, once
without.
  Now the selected text is drawn correctly. (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Make the TextArea a JPanel instead of a JComponent, so that it draws its
  background and set the background color to the Gutter background color.
This
  prevents the parent component to shine through, which would e. g. show
blue
  edges with the BufferTabs plugin installed and active.
  (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Fix a bug preventing from removing an unloaded plugin
  (#3877 - Matthieu Casanova)

- The native splashscreen is removed as it was not possible to disable it
  (#3876 - Matthieu Casanova)

- Bugfix in EditPane.java related to file status checks.
  (Patch #534 - Matt Galligan)

- Fix for bug #3389 in BufferSwitcher.java where look and feel was locked to
  Metal. (Dale Anson)

- Fix for bug #3893 where PluginResURLConnection.openStream returning null
for
  non existing resources made jEdit hang on Java 8, Mac OS 10.10. (Eric Le
Lay)

- Fix for Bugs #3895, #3897: Invalid HelpIndex URLs on windows.
  (Alan Ezust,  Eric Le Lay)

}}}
{{{ Miscellaneous
- MiscUtilities.openInDesktop() works with URIs on Windows now. (Alan Ezust)

- Upgrade Launch4J to the latest version 3.5.0. This makes it possible to
UTF-8
  encode the config file and build the EXE launcher on Mac OS again,
removing
  the need for Rosetta being installed, which is not supported anymore
anyway
  since Mac OS 10.7. (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

}}}
{{{ API Changes

- DockableWindowContainer interface is now public (Patch #528 - Makarius)

- PluginResURLConnection.openStream() is garanteed to return non-null
stream;
  PluginResURLConnection.connect() and PluginResURLConnection.openStream()
  throw an IOException when the resource is not found. (Eric Le Lay)

Hello everyone,

I proudly present jEdit 5.2pre1, the first preview development release of the 5.2 series of jEdit.

Detailed changes can as always be found in the Change Log attached in the end of this email.

This is a time-based release, scheduled to come out about 1 year after jEdit 5.1, and is a collection of enhancements, bug fixes and patches submitted by the community. Detailed changes can be found in the Detailed Change Log.
There are no major new features in this release. You can think of it mostly as a bugfix release, although there are quite a lot of UI enhancements also.
With continued support from the community, we will keep releasing a newer version each year that can accurately bring together the fruits of everyone's labor. Thank you to each and every one of the contributors who helped make 5.2 the best version of jEdit ever.



Volunteers are always welcome to contribute to the future of jEdit:

Hello everyone,

I proudly present jEdit 5.1.0, the first stable release of the 5.1 series of jEdit.

Detailed changes can as always be found in the Change Log attached in the end of this email, but here are some of the major features of this version:

    * VFS WorkThreads have been rewritten into Tasks, making it possible to completely remove the old "I/O Progress Monitor"
      and the wasteful space it took up in the Task Monitor. Old deprecated classes related to WorkThread and WorkThreadPool
      have been removed.
    * New Plugin Manager option to check for and disable obsolete plugins. Enabled by default, this will ensure that old
      unsupported plugins do not interfere with the running operation of jEdit.
    * Added another language to our list of translated languages: English, French, German, Japanese, Czech, Russian, and now
      Chinese! We are always looking for volunteers to help translate jEdit into Hindi, Korean, or Spanish, or any other
      language, really! It is fairly easy to add a new translation to jEdit or the plugins.
    * There is now a new encoding Native2ASCII which collapses unicode escapes in ISO-8859-1 files on read and expands
      characters that cannot be encoded with ASCII as unicode escapes on write. This encoding is the one Java properties
      files should be in. 



Volunteers are always welcome to contribute to the future of jEdit:

That being said, here is the download link:

- Fix mode loading for temporary buffers (patch #3609469 Thomas Meyer)

- Fix #3598661 - Don't allow negative values in the general option pane.
  (Thomas Meyer)

- Fix #3596215 - NPE from docking layout save/loads when started with
  -nosettings. (Alan Ezust)

- Fix #3597101, #3596600 - Bad error handling when an invalid path is entered
  into the VFS Browser inputs. (Patch# 3602318 Benjamin Gmurczyk)

- Bug no. #3590540 revealed a performance problem in the ChunkCache, because
  every scroll action resulted in a tokenization of the really long line, which
  takes a considerable time and makes jEdit unusable.
  Fix is to always keep all Chunks of the tokenization process and use it as an
  buffer in the ChunkCache class.
  Tokenization of the physical line still happens for every insertion or
  deletion of the Buffer. Tokenization also happens when the cursor enters the
  physical line, as only the Chunks from the current physical line are keeped
  in the ChunkCache.
  (#3590540 Thomas Meyer)

- Bug no. #3590540 produced a soft wrap for a single physical line that was
  greater than 16383 screen lines. Increased this limit to 65535 in
  the ScreenLineManager (#3590540 Thomas Meyer)

- Undomanager: Don't compact significant edits (#patch 3560615 Thomas Meyer)

- Fixed undo after replace all with beanshell only first occurance
  (#3551910 Thomas Meyer)

- Search all buffers now observes current BufferSet scope and can be restricted
  to the current view's buffers when scope is not global. (#3423442 Alan Ezust)

- Fix File status checking after buffer switch (#1871440 Alan Ezust)

- Undo restores selection state in simple cases (deletions, replaces
  on simple range selections). (patch #1570553 Maik Nijhuis, Thomas Meyer,
  Jarek Czekalski)

- Filter not synchronizing in search dialog when
  "All buffers" is selected. (#1646584, patch #3549905 Eric Le Lay)

{{{ Bug fixes

- The contextInsensitive flag of the edit mode was not used at the first use
  of the edit mode (Matthieu Casanova)

- Fix mode loading for temporary buffers (Thomas Meyer)

- Fix #3598661 - Don't allow negative values in the general option pane.
  (Thomas Meyer)

- Fix #3596215 - NPE from docking layout save/loads when started with
  -nosettings. (Alan Ezust)

- Fix #3597101, #3596600 - Bad error handling when an invalid path is entered
  into the VFS Browser inputs. (Patch# 3602318 Benjamin Gmurczyk)

- Bug no. #3590540 revealed a performance problem in the ChunkCache, because
  every scroll action resulted in a tokenization of the really long line, which
  takes a considerable time and makes jEdit unusable.
  Fix is to always keep all Chunks of the tokenization process and use it as an
  buffer in the ChunkCache class.
  Tokenization of the physical line still happens for every insertion or
  deletion of the Buffer. Tokenization also happens when the cursor enters the
  physical line, as only the Chunks from the current physical line are keeped
  in the ChunkCache.
  (#3590540 Thomas Meyer)

- Bug no. #3590540 produced a soft wrap for a single physical line that was
  greater than 16383 screen lines. Increased this limit to 65535 in
  the ScreenLineManager (#3590540 Thomas Meyer)

- Fix File status checking after buffer switch (#1871440 Alan Ezust)

- Undo restores selection state in simple cases (deletions, replaces
  on simple range selections). (patch #1570553 Maik Nijhuis, Thomas Meyer,
  Jarek Czekalski)

- Filter not synchronizing in search dialog when
  "All buffers" is selected. (#1646584, patch #3549905 Eric Le Lay)

- Fixed VFS session not ended in VFS.copy() api (#3522406 Matthieu Casanova)

- Use of a scrollable list for delete dialog confirmation
  (#2911520 Matthieu Casanova)

- Fix selecting mode based on exact filename match. (#3562935 Dale Anson)

Hello everyone,

I proudly present jEdit 5.0.0, the first stable release of the 5.0 series of jEdit.

Detailed changes can as always be found in the Change Log attached in the end of this email, but here are some of the major features of this version:

    * Localization - jEdit now supports switching between default locale, French, German, Russian, Czech, and Japanese.
      Some translations for those locales are provided, containing common jEdit labels. It is also now possible to add
      new or contribute to existing translation property files for jEdit core as well as for plugins.
    * Keymaps - named collections of shortcuts. Example keymaps for Emacs, MacOS, German Keyboard, Intellij and classic
      jEdit are provided, and users can create or customize them.
    * New Editing options: Disable or simplified automatic indentation, and default response when opening a large file.
    * Updated html/css edit modes with HTML5/CSS3 keywords. Added a dozen new edit modes, updated a dozen more.
    * Scrolling - Many bugs (#2832769, #2998294, #3193168, possibly others), related to soft wrap, multiline delete/cut,
      undo, and folding, that could cause the text area to be confused about its location, are fixed. This greatly
      improves the stability of jEdit. Thank you, Thomas Meyer!

  "Plugin Central default" and got strange errors.
  (#2913393, #3501210 - Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Avoided annoying behavior of electric keys that canceled obvious
  manual indentation. Now they take effect only when the current level
  of indentation is same with automatic indentation.

  (Jarek Czekalski)

- The status bar widget service is now
  org.gjt.sp.jedit.gui.statusbar.StatusWidgetFactory instead of
  org.gjt.sp.jedit.gui.statusbar.StatusWidget (only the name in service.xml)
  is modified, because the service class is a StatusWidgetFactory and not a
  StatusWidget (#3521413 Matthieu Casanova)

- New public constructor for org.gjt.sp.jedit.gui.ErrorListDialog
  allowing for specifying custom urgency (priority). (Jarek Czekalski)

- TextArea.isCaretVisible became public (patch #3518424 Makarius)

- Fixed jedit exit procedure. Now all views are closed. Earlier only
  the current view was properly closed. This may be important for plugins
  that were workarounding the issue, as now they will get more
  ViewUpdate.CLOSED messages. (Jarek Czekalski)

- The JEditEmbeddedTextArea and StandaloneTextArea do not create an empty
  popup menu anymore.
  To add a context menu in your JEditEmbeddedTextArea, please override
  createPopupMenu(MouseEvent evt) as before, but also call
  setRightClickPopupEnabled(true) in your constructor (Matthieu Casanova)

       boolean sendVFSUpdate)
  copy(ProgressObserver progress, String sourcePath,String targetPath,
       Component comp, boolean canStop, boolean sendVFSUpdate)

  (Matthieu Casanova)

- OperatingSystem.isOS2() method is removed since OS/2 cannot run jEdit since
  many years (Matthieu Casanova)

- OperatingSystem.isDOSDerived() is now deprecated since OS/2 do not exists
  anymore Windows is the only DOS derived OS, so use OperatingSystem.isWindows()
  instead (Matthieu Casanova)

- Some undocumented but public members in class DisplayTokenHandler and
  Chunk became private as they should be in the first place.
    Specifically:
      org.gjt.sp.jedit.syntax.DisplayTokenHandler

{{{ Bug fixes

- Fixed exception in dockable window system when loading a plugin using
     jar libraries (#3532429 Matthieu Casanova)

- The plugin description in install panel now supports html
     (#3509183 Matthieu Casanova)

- The mirror "Plugin Central default" now works as auto selecting
     mirror and is used by default. Previous default was hardcoded "switch"
     (mirror.switch.ch) as workaround, but one could easily stuck on broken
     "Plugin Central default" and got strange errors.
     (#2913393, #3501210 - Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Avoided annoying behavior of electric keys that canceled obvious
     manual indentation. Now they take effect only when the current level
     of indentation is same with automatic indentation.
     (#1936678, #2332140 Jarek Czekalski, Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Fixed "Backup on every save" resets file permissions. Renaming of the file
     was replaced with copying. (#1803073 Jarek Czekalski)

- Added backup of remote files, for example opened with FTP plugin.
     (#1525654 Jarek Czekalski)

- Fixed NPE which was shown in place of a proper error message for empty
     keyword elements in mode XML. (Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Cannot DnD betweeen PingPongLists (#3501020 Jarek Czekalski)

- Fixed macros at menu split are unaccessible (#3512853 Jarek Czekalski)

- If the same plugin is installed in home and install folder, only the newest
     is loaded. (#1848802 Matthieu Casanova)

- Fixed rectangular selection constructor (patch #3440310 peibl)

- When copying a file in VFSBrowser, if a file with the same name already exists
     a suffix copy-n is added to avoid deleting the existing file
     (#3470759 Matthieu Casanova)

- Fixed Ctrl + key not working in completion popup (Matthieu Casanova)

- Fixed copy of Hypersearch results adding \r in the clipboard
     (#3142456 Matthieu Casanova)

- The Java based installer now correctly handles GNU style long filenames in
     the installer package and thus does not corrupt the JavaDoc files anymore
     (#2327520 Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Several message boxes were not being created on the EDT which would result in
     tiny, non-resizable message boxes. (#3441535 Dale Anson)

}}}
{{{ API Changes

- New method Debug.compDelay, for debugging purposes (Jarek Czekalski)

- Made EditBus.send uninterruptible, as it was before putting handling of
     messages into EDT (r17139, to 4.4).

- New method ThreadUtilities.runInDispatchThreadNow() (Jarek Czekalski)

- New VFS capability: NON_AWT_SESSION_CAP and a helper method
     VFS.createVFSSessionSafe that frees the caller from entering the EDT
     thread in most cases. All built-in filesystems have this capability set.
     (Jarek Czekalski)

- The status bar widget service is now
     org.gjt.sp.jedit.gui.statusbar.StatusWidgetFactory instead of
     org.gjt.sp.jedit.gui.statusbar.StatusWidget (only the name in service.xml)
     is modified, because the service class is a StatusWidgetFactory and not a
     StatusWidget (#3521413 Matthieu Casanova)

- The JEditEmbeddedTextArea and StandaloneTextArea do not create an empty
     popup menu anymore.

     (Matthieu Casanova)

- New methods MiscUtilities.getCompleteBaseName() to return
