Request: Scintilla version update

Post by kenmo »

Hello,

It might be too late for PB 5.20 Final, but can the Scintilla library be updated soon?

There are at least two new features I would like to try out:
1. Custom AutoComplete list ordering (see SC_ORDER_CUSTOM and related)
2. Simplified folding (see SCI_SETAUTOMATICFOLD and related)


If the library is not updated before 5.20 is released, I believe I can just find the new Scintilla.dll and get the features working on Windows, but I do not know what is need for Mac static linking libraries...

Thanks.

EDIT: It looks like these specific features were added in 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 -- I think PB is only at 3.2.2.

Does anyone know what Scintilla version PB 5.22 LTS includes? Is it still 3.2.2?

In addition to new Scintilla features, I'm experiencing Scintilla bugs on OS X that have been fixed since 3.2.2...


Can Scintilla be updated for the next PB release?

In the meantime, is there a way I can build Mac PB programs with a newer Scintilla library? (On Windows I know I can just include a newer DLL.)

Hi. They should be consistent with detailing updates in the PB Manual, under the History section...

One Reference to date.

5th November 2012 : Version 5.00
  • - Updated: Scintilla updated to 3.2.2

@Thunder -- I guess I mentioned it in 2 different threads last year... But it probably wouldn't be seen unless it was here in Feature Requests.

@Tenaja -- Yes, I said that twice already, but it only applies to Windows! The lib is statically linked on Mac + Linux. I don't know how to manually update it. :?:
