those files
  is closed in jEdit by another thread, selecting will remove the file 
from the
  dialog (#2129419) (Matthieu Casanova)

- It is not possible anymore to open more than one clean untitled buffer in
  a bufferSet (Matthieu Casanova)

- Closed buffers were often kept in memory. (Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Error "Invalid screen line count" was shown when scrolling in a
  compound edit. (SF.net patch #1990960 - Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Folded lines sometimes became invisible after breaking the fold
  structure; like explicit fold markers, or indents.
  (SF.net patch #1999448 - Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Fixed char escape in shellscript (#2080891) (Kevin Hunter)

bufferSet are

  Kazutoshi Satoda)

properties
  causing sometimes NPE (Matthieu Casanova)

  possible (#2100690) (Matthieu Casanova)

  '-newplainview' now works also when jEdit is not running.
  (Shlomy Reinstein)

  wrong when GC compacted the total heap size. (Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Fixed a long delay (typically 7-10 seconds) when showing the context menu
  of the text area or the drop down of a history text field the first time.
  This long delay was experienced mostly on Windows, and was caused by the

  Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Replace in selection which ends at middle of line for regex which ends
  with "$" could wrongly match the end of selection. (Kazutoshi Satoda)

editPane
  contained all buffers instead of having only buffers from the active 
EditPane
  (#2152509) (Matthieu Casanova)

}}}
{{{ Miscellaneous

- Disabled the MacOS plugin by default for now. (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Added the absolute caret position in the caret status of the status bar
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- Added a widget for the statusbar that displays the length of the current
  selection (feature #1912735) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Moved buffer list sorting options from General to View Option Pane
  with other bufferset options. (Alan Ezust)

- Enabled reverse regex search.
  (SF.net patch #1923613 - Greg Merrill, Kazutoshi Satoda)

- New option in saving/backup: Never mark untitled buffers dirty.
  Related to that, buffers with length=0 never marked dirty.
  (request # 2068307 - Alan Ezust)

- New option in saving/backup: Calculate MD5 hash to see if the
  file as loaded from disk is the same as what is in the buffer.
  (Request # 2077326 - Alan Ezust, Kevin Hunter, K. Satoda)

- New action new-file-in-mode, which opens a dialog listing the
  available modes, the user can select one and a new file is created
  under that mode. (SF.net patch #1829669 - Eric Berry)

- Removed own back buffers for textarea, which were meant to speed up
  painting textarea, because the effect seemed to be not noticeable and
  not stable over runtime environments, while it broke Background plugin
  (SF.net Plugin Bugs #1620694) and consumed much memory.
  (Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Improved rendering of complex text layout (like Indic text) in text
  area. (SF.net bug #981012 - Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Added some new encoding detectors which reads some lines at the top of
  file and search for encoding declaration pattern in regex.
    - html: finds "\bcharset=(ENCODING)"
    - python: finds "coding[=:]\s*(ENCODING)"
  (Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Abbreviated buffer path in MiscUtilities.abbreviate()
  Replaces homedir with tilde, and reverse-expands environment variables.
  (# 1910097 - Jakub Roztocil, Alan Ezust)

- Angle Brackets are now also matched from find matching bracket.
  (encorejane - # 1849215)

- ActionSet combobox in "add to context menu" is sorted and remembers 
previous
  selection. (Alan Ezust)

- Added right click popup menu to the Error widget in the status bar to 
clear
  all errors (feature #2122926) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Added two new fold styles: Square folds (Explorer style) and round folds
  (Scintilla style). Created a service to provide the fold painter, and a
  property to select the fold painter service to use. The fold style can be
  changed using a new option in Global Options -> Gutter. (feature #1747300)
  (Shlomy Reinstein)

- Changed the "HyperSearch_Results_to_Buffer" macro to include the 
results of
  all searches, not just the last one, and also the search matcher of each
  search, in order to be able to "import" the search results from
  the buffer later.
  Added a new "Buffer_to_HyperSearch_Results" macro that reads a buffer that
  was previously created by the "HyperSearch_Results_to_Buffer" macro, and
  possibly manipulated manually later, and imports the results from the 
buffer
  into the HyperSearch Results dockable. This macro handles the
  "regular expression" and "ignore case" options correctly.

- Added macro Editing/Toggle_Fold.bsh for toggling the current fold.
  (feature #2190064) (Shlomy Reinstein)

- Added a combo box to the Docking option pane (in the Global Options 
dialog)
  for selecting the set of dockables to configure (plugin / core / all).
  (feature #2199003) (Shlomy Reinstein)

- Removed a JVM option "-Xms64M" from installed startup commands/scripts,
  which consumed too much memory. (Kazutoshi Satoda)

}}}
