[ jEdit-users ] jEdit 2.6pre8 now available

[Slava P. <sp...@gj...>]

jEdit 2.6pre8 is now available from <http://jedit.sourceforge.net>.
It's getting closer to a 2.6final release. Note that I forgot to include
the sample macros in the installer JAR. They will be present in the next
release (alternatively, you can copy the macros/ directory from the
previous jEdit version, as they haven't changed).

+ New Features

- When the new 'double-click close' option is enabled, double-clicking on
  an open file in the VFS browser will close it. This is disabled by
  default; enable it in Utilities->Global Options->VFS Browser

+ Enhancements

- Text area now has a border and looks a bit better
- Pressing 'Escape' in the command line field now resets the repeat count
- Help viewer has a new look
- Documentation updates
- Deleting, renaming, etc macros from the VFS browser will now update the
  macros list
- Installer source code now included in jEdit download
- Installer source code cleaned up a bit
- When the complete word or complete action popups are visible, the 'Tab'
  key will select the current item
- Literal search code updates (Mike Dillon)
- Contents of VFS browser's 'More' menu is now displayed in the right-click
  popup as well

+ Neutral

- 'Sort buffers' check box gone from Global Options. Buffer sorting is now
  always enabled
- 'Paint invalid lines as red tildes' check box gone from Global Options.
  This feature is no longer available
- 'Fully parse buffers for syntax info when loading' check box gone from
  Global Options. This feature slowed down file loading and provided
  little of benefit, so is no longer available
- Minor cosmetic changes to Editor option pane

+ Bug Fixes

- Repeating macro playback didn't work
- Marker menus were initially empty for newly opened buffers
- The 'Editor' option pane didn't display settings for modes that weren't
  loaded
- Fixed (harmless) NullPointerException when loading files from a URL
- Listing the root of a drive letter didn't work on Windows
- Backspace key didn't work in command line field on some Java versions
- Nested compound edits have been broken since some 2.6preX release, so stuff
  like a 'Replace All' would take several invocations of 'Undo' to fully
  reverse
- Having an unmatched ')' in a regular expression should no longer throw
  an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException (Alan Moore)
- Removed useless debugging message from Print command
- The key event workaround code would drop key events under some circumstances
- After the command line's completion popup appears, some key events are no
  longer handled

+ API Changes

- No-args Buffer.tokenizeLines() method deprecated
