jedit-announce Mailing List for jEdit

Start the new year off right.  jEdit 4.3pre3 has been released.  Go get it.

Be warned that this release will cause problems with a couple of=20
plugins.  I will try to get all the 4.3pre3 plugin submissions I have
released shortly.  The rest of the plugins will hopefully be released
on the 15th.

Enjoy,

Jeff

{{{ Search and Replace

- HyperSearch results can now be displayed in a folder hierarchy tree
  view. This makes it easier to see file locations when there are matches
  for many different files from a deep folder structure. To activate,
  right click on the top search node in the result tree and select
  "Toggle Tree View". If multiple results is enabled, the tree view is
  only toggled for the selected search.

  There are also new context menu options for the result tree
  that only display in tree view mode when a folder node is selected.
  There are options to expand/collapse all child nodes, and another to
  exeucte a "New Search From Here", which displays the search dialog
  initialized with the path from the selected result tree folder node.

{{{ Syntax Highlighting

- Gnuplot syntax highlighting (Loren Charnley).

- Updated PHP syntax highlighting (Matthieu Casanova).

- Fixed end token of heredoc that must start at beginning of the line in
  PHP (Matthieu Casanova)

- Updated MIPS R2000 assembly syntax highlighting (James Turk).

- Updated Java and LaTeX syntax highlighting (Alexander Klimetschek).

}}}
{{{ File System Browser

- Pressing / and BACKSPACE in the filename field no longer does
  completion. Now, you must press TAB to complete.

}}}
{{{ Miscellaneous

- A new macro, SplitPane grow, was added to the macros/interface
  directory

- A new macro, ToggleHeaderSource, for C/C++ editing.

- A single-line selection no longer hides the line highlight, for
  better readability.

- The selection is now saved between buffer switches.

- ActionContext now remembers overridden actions, so another plugin
  can override builtin actions (via listing one in actions.xml with
the same name).
  When the plugin is unloaded, the original action will be restored.

- Updated "Display Abbreviations", "Hex Convert" and "HyperSearch
  Results to Buffer" macros.

- Updated "Insert Buffer Properties" macro (Bj=F6rn Kautler).

- The plugin manager option pane now displays the name of the mirror
  currently used (Matthieu Casanova).

- URLs dragged into the textarea are loaded rather than the URL pasted
  (Nicholas O'Leary).

- Deselecting a plugin in the Plugin Manager persists between reloads of
  jEdit (Nicholas O'Leary).

- Help Browser has an improved history model with drop-down style
  forward and back buttons.

- Can specify caret column number in addition to line number when
  opening a file (+line:<line>,<column>) (Bertalan Fodor).

- Added a new EventListener to notify subscribing plugins when jEdit was
  looking for prefix completions and when it was done. These
  notifications are for the ShortcutDisplay plugin.

{{{ Bug Fixes

- The following Java code did not indent properly:

  if(foo)
  {
      foo(bar,
          baz);
  }

- The following Java code did not indent properly:

  foo(bar(
          <--- should not have two levels of indent here

- The soft wrap state is no longer reset when a buffer is saved. This
  was pointless and slowed down the editor.

- Screen line management had an off-by-one error, so in some situations
  the vertical scroll bar state would become inconsistent.

- Registers dockable window had a few problems (Nicholas O'Leary).

- Word count would show -1 for an empty buffer (Michael Macnair).

- Fixed corrupted cursor image problem on Mac OS X.

- Complete word popup is now always positioned within the screen bounds.

- The last physical line index was not updated when saving files
  sometimes, resulting in exceptions when clicking in the text area.

- If rectangular selection mode was enabled and you clicked beyond the
  end of the line in a read-only buffer, jEdit would beep.

- Using 'Delete Lines' with folding could mess up the vertical scroll
  bar.

- File system browser's right click menu now contains the "Plugins" menu
  (Nicholas O'Leary).

- Fixed file system browser's left arrow key behavior (David Chan).

- The startup script created by the Java-based installer on Mac OS X now
  adds the Cocoa classes to jEdit's class path, so the Mac OS plugin
  should work with no further tweaking.

- Fix race condition when there were buffers in the perspective, as well
  as buffers specified to open on the command line.

- If windows were docked in the top docking area, the action bar would
  display in the wrong place.

- After receiving a PropertiesChanged on EditBus, the PluginManager will
  check if the mirror was changed before updating the plugin list
  (Matthieu Casanova).

- Fix for drag'n'copy text to lower position in same textarea - #1246823
  (Nicholas O'Leary)

- Register Viewer fixes (Nicholas O'Leary).

- Bug 1173630 fixed : Format paragraph with the caret at the end of it
  (Matthieu Casanova).

- Mixed parser rules are detected when adding explicit fold
  (Matthieu Casanova).

- Bug 1085135 fixed : when typing ctrl+S jEdit will not ask the user if
  he wants to override the read only flag on the file
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- NPE fixed when removing hyper search result that aren't cached
(Matthieu Casanova)

- NPE fixed when using turkish locale (889520)

}}}
{{{ API Changes

- bug  1386702: DockableWindowManager now sends an EditBus message
        DockableWindowUpdate.ACTIVATED when a dockable is activated.
        And a corresponding DEACTIVATED message when it is deactivated.

-  A new EditBus message has been introduced: BufferUpdate.CLOSING
        for Navigator (or other EBPlugins) to catch caret positions just
        before buffers are closed.

- Selecting multiple directories in the file chooser dialog box is now
  supported; just pass true as the last parameter (Matthieu Casanova):

  GUIUtilities.showVFSFileDialog(view,null,
    VFSBrowser.CHOOSE_DIRECTORY_DIALOG,true)

- Now that the text area is independent of the rest of jEdit, various
  text area-related APIs that used to take org.gjt.sp.jedit.Buffer
  instances now take org.gjt.sp.jedit.buffer.JEditBuffers:

  - BufferChangeListener and BufferChangeAdapter are now deprecated. Use
    BufferListener instead.

  - FoldHandler.getFoldLevel() now takes a JEditBuffer as a parameter.

  - VFS.copy() methods added (Matthieu Casanova).

  - MiscUtilities.copyStream() and MiscUtilities.closeQuietly() methods
    added (Matthieu Casanova).
