- Stop caret timer in text area on dispose (Bill Culp - # 2814857)

- Fixed a possible case where an output stream is not closed (#2790435)
  (Matthew Bakalar)

- The Password fields in Metal Look & Feel now follows the TextArea color scheme
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- If you set - as path in the VFSBrowser it will be replaced by the path
  of the current buffer (#2218621) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Loading a library from the PluginManager gives a NPE
  (#2779500) (Matthieu Casanova)

- If the textarea is antialiased the gutter will also use the same antialiasing
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- The autoreload option was not applied for existing buffers (#2587311)
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- When restoring the perspective the EditPanes are created with the default
  bufferSet scope and it is changed after according to the perspective.xml.

  (Matthieu Casanova)

- Fixed horizontal mac scrolling with trackpad or Mighty Mouse (#2308694)
  (Seph Soliman)

- Fixed scrolling bug : when the TextArea was smaller than one visible line,
  if a line was wrapped, moving the cursor up or down in this line will not make
  was not the textarea scrolling to see the cursor (#2596087)
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- Fix for caret position display in status bar (tracker 2220033), relative
  position was not always correct. In conjunction with this, added checkboxes
  in the Status Bar option pane to make the various items in the caret position
  display configurable. (Dale Anson, Kazutoshi Satoda).

- Fix for files in buffer switcher not ordered (tracker 2183929).  Sorting is
  now immediate on changing the preferences in the option dialog (Dale Anson)

- Fix for View->Show Buffer Switcher does not show the buffer switcher (tracker
  2179149) (Dale Anson) This menu item is intended to show the buffer switcher
  drop down, which isn't necessary if the buffer switcher is not visible. Now
  the visibility of this menu item is the same as the visibility of the buffer
  switcher.

- When having split view, dropping a file on the inactive textArea was opening
  it to the active textArea (#2321838) (Matthieu Casanova, Shlomy Reinstein)

- MD5 hash calculated inside read-lock, and also after buffer saves (#2780652).
   (Alan Ezust)

- Fix drag & drop in BufferTabs, which broke as a result of BufferSet ignoring
  changes in buffer index (#2100690) (Shlomy Reinstein).

  another. (Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Fix #2017514: Selection occasionally lost after right-click.

- The status bar label did not follow the editor colors (Matthieu Casanova)

- Fix #2519873: MyDoggyPlugin : the dockables are immediately loaded.
  Each plugin dockable that was configured by the properties file to be docked

  uses lazy instantiation and only its anchor button is shown.

- Fixed a bug in OperatingSystem.getScreenBounds() (Matthieu Casanova)

- Fixed JVM detection that was broken with java 1.6 (Matthieu Casanova)

- Fixed a NPE in Buffer.setMode() if the defaultMode is null (Matthieu Casanova)

- Folded lines could become invisible if "delete-line" action was used
  at a collapsed fold. (SF.net bug #2548764 - Kazutoshi Satoda)

- With non-global BufferSet scope, closing the first view of multiple
  views could loose dirty buffers.
  Now a confirmation dialog is shown on closing a view as well as
  exiting jEdit. (SF.net bug #2091052 - Kazutoshi Satoda)

- With editpane BufferSet scope, buffers could be closed on unsplitting

  (Shlomy Reinstein)

{{{ Miscellaneous

  The context menu of the VFS browser now has a "Properties" menu item that
  shows the properties of the selected node(s) in a dialog.

- Implemented feature request #2555956: Show presence of jedit server. The About
  dialog now shows the mode in which jEdit is running: server,
  server-background, or standalone. (Shlomy Reinstein)

  The selection area can be enabled or disabled from the Gutter option pane.
  (Shlomy Reinstein)

  (Matthew Gilbert - SF.net patch #2569381, #2570229)

{{{ API Changes

- Removed deprecated org.gjt.sp.jedit.msg.CaretChanging. Use PositionChanging
  instead - the former is no longer being used. (Alan Ezust)

- The keybindings are reloaded when the properties are changed in the standalone
  textarea, and the StandaloneActionSet now takes an url to the actions.xml
  as constructor parameter (patch #2304608) (Dakshinamurthy Karra)

- Added jEdit.openFile(EditPane, ....) methods to explicitely choose an editPane
  to open a file (Matthieu Casanova)

- Added jEdit.newFile(EditPane, ...) methods to explicitely choose an EditPane
  to create a new file (Matthieu Casanova)

- Added org.gjt.sp.jedit.menu.MenuItemTextComparator as the preferred
  alternative for deprecated MiscUtilities.MenuItemCompare.
  (Eric Berry - SF.net patch #2308329)

- Removed BufferSet#getScope(). The scope of bufferset is a property of
  EditPane. Added EditPane#getBufferSetScope() and setBufferSetScope().
  Also removed EditPane#setBufferSet(), which was the way to set the
  scope of buffer set. (Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Moved access methods for BufferSet instances to be more straightforward.
    - jEdit.getBufferSetManager().getGlobalBufferSet()
      -> jEdit.getGlobalBufferSet()
    - jEdit.getViewBufferSet(view)
      -> view.getLocalBufferSet()
    - jEdit.getEditPaneBufferSet(editPane) /* this might be unused one */
      -> editPane.getBufferSet() /* this is currently used one */

- Removed BufferSetManager#hasListeners() which had always returned true.

- Removed BufferSetManager#clear() which just made inconsistent state.

- Added a new method jEdit.moveBuffer() to explicitly move a buffer in
  a BufferSet.
  This can be used to replace a hacky call of BufferSet#addBufferAt()
  which is used to move the buffer.

- Added OperatingSystem.hasJava16() method and made deprecated
  OperatingSystem.hasJava15() and OperatingSystem.hasJava14() since jEdit
  requires Java 1.5 at least (Matthieu Casanova)

- Added a new interface for docking framework plugins to react to newly loaded
  dockables (fixed bug #2519873). (Shlomy Reinstein)

- Added the API DockingArea.getDockables() to support the Docker plugin.

- Added new constructor to OptionsDialog.OptionsTreeModel that allows setting
  the root group of the tree. (Marcelo Vanzin)
