JEDIT 4.3 VERSION HISTORY

{{{ Version 4.3pre9

Thanks to Björn "Vampire" Kautler, Akber Choudhry, Matthieu Casanova
Jean-Francois Larvoire, Martin Raspe, Kazutoshi Satoda, Alan Ezust, Marcelo
Vanzin, and Nicholas O'Leary for contributing to this release.

{{{ Bug Fixes

- avoid NPE from getIndentRules (patch #1611766) (Kazutoshi Satoda)

- bufferio operations are now exception-safe (patch #1597168) (Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Encoding errors properly reported on save (patch #1601830) (Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Filter Box lose focus bug (patch #1608948) (kuljc)

- Fixed the broken quick copy behaviour (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Fixed the wrong text in SearchAndReplace Dialog (bug #1592529)
  (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Fixed wrong highlighting of multiline strings in cobol editmode
  (bug #785290) (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Plugins in plugins options are now sorted case-insentively
  (bug #1593410) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Fixed the not resolved IMPORTs in IMPORTs (bug #1569735)
  (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Fix SF Bug #1596756: Annoying problem with file system browser in 4.3pre7
  When reopening the "recent" files on startup, a buffer might fail to
  load (because, e.g., it's on a FTP server and the user canceled the
  password dialog). So ignore the buffer if it's null when restoring the
  view. (Marcelo Vanzin)

- Fix SF Bug #1590250: Bad EOF handling code in CBzip2InputStream
  The code seems to have other error handling problems, but at least
  now it doesn't compare a char to -1. It would be interesting to see
  what happens if we have a corrupted jar file... (Marcelo Vanzin)

- Fix SF Bug #1571752: 'Add Explicit Fold' in PHP mode - wrong comments
  Be smarter when inserting explicit folds in mode boundaries by trying
  harder to use the comment characters for the mode of the text that
  is being wrapped. Also do some tweaking for when to insert new lines
  and when not to. (Marcelo Vanzin)

- Fix SF Bug #1594910: Indentation of Javascript embedded in HTML is broken
  The fix is more generic than what the bug suggest. The indent rules
  were being kept locally by each buffer, and reflected the "top level"
  mode's rules. So rules for sections of the buffer that were delegated
  to other modes were ignored. The fix keeps the indent rules in the mode
  instance, and the buffers retrieve the context-sensitive rules when
  applying auto-indentation. (Marcelo Vanzin)

- When deactivating a plugin if the VFS Browser was open but it's menubar
  disabled, a NPE occured (#1593392) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Fixed a bug I introduced with the new HASH_CHAR handling
  (bug #1600380) (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Fixed another bug with the new HASH_CHAR handling
  (bug #1600401) (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Fixed precedence of Recent Files List caretposition over commandline
  supplied caret position (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- SearchMatcher in SearchAndReplace cannot match empty Strings anymore
  (#1601718) (Matthieu Casanova)

- If you use two stage save and your file is writeable but in a folder
  where you cannot write, a dialog will ask you if you want to save using
  normal method (#1609303) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Fixed that ESCAPE sequence of RULES tag couldn't appear at the beginning
  of a rule. Now this is possible. Also added documentation about the
  ESCAPE attribute. (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Hypersearch now report occurences count and line count (#1565447)
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- Several exceptions fixed in plugin manager after update or remove plugins
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- When simplified keyboard handling was off, typing Alt+F o to open
  a file, the o was also written in the textarea. (#1593359) (Matthieu Casanova)

- VariableGridLayout resized Components to sizes bigger than their maximum size,
  now it resizes it only up to its maximum size and positions the Components
  according to their alignmentX/alignmentY values if the cell is bigger than
  the Component's size. (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Horizontal scrollbar in the textarea was not always updated
  (#1534016, #1617483) (Matthieu Casanova)

- In hypersearch when switching to flat nodes, the full path is displayed
  correctly (#1593523) (Matthieu Casanova)

- The VFS Browser filter was not working as expected
  (#1617509) (Matthieu Casanova)

- When reloading a buffer, the markers were not saved for each EditPanes
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- When closing an untitled buffer is is removed from the CaretInfo map
  of the EditPanes (Matthieu Casanova)

- When a buffer is renamed the key is changed in the CaretInfo map
  of the EditPanes (Matthieu Casanova)

- Memory tooltip in status bar reports wrong values (#1538051) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Better handling of plugin optional dependencies (Matthieu Casanova)

  about HASH_CHAR and HASH_CHARS (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- SplashScreen change : more step added for progress bar and it tells now
  what jEdit is doing (Matthieu Casanova)

- When closing the current buffer, if there is only one buffer, untitled and
  not dirty it is not closed (not needed since another one would be created)
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- The Files change dialog has now an ignore button to set the
  autoreload and autoreloaddialog flags to false (Matthieu Casanova)

- VariableGridLayout, two new capabilities: it can
  take minimum and maximum sizes of a Component into account when
  distributing free space and you can supply distances to the borders
  of the Container. The new capabilites are useable by the two new
  constructors. For more information, see the JavaDoc documentation.
  (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Reload/ReloadAll now ignores buffers with the NEW_FILE flag set. This
  was causing IO error messages when the Untitled buffers could not
  be reloaded. (Nicholas O'Leary)

- More infos about the socket connection when the plugin manager updates it's
  plugin list (Matthieu Casanova)

{{{ API Changes

- Refactored the manually implemented HashSet of LinkedLists to use the
  Java Collections HashSet and ArrayList. Therefore the ParserRule.next
  and the ParserRuleSet.getRules(char) got deprecated in favor of
  ParserRuleSet.getRules(Character) (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Deprecated JEditBuffer.isElectricKey(char).
  Added JEditBuffer.isElectricKey(char, int) to replace it.
  (Marcelo Vanzin)

- Deprecated some of the ParserRule.createXXX() methods which accepted
  only one character HASH_CHAR, while introduced new ones that accept
  whole Strings. Additionally new ones for accepting HASH_CHARS got
  added. (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- SearchDialog.preloadSearchDialog(View) is deprecated, this is
  not necessary on our big computers and JVM with JIT (Matthieu Casanova)

- VariableGridLayout has two new constructors to use the new capabilites.
  For more information see section Miscellaneous. (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- PluginManager.getPluginList() is not public anymore. It was not useful
  since the PluginList class cannot be accessed outside of it's package
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- MiscUtilities.moveFile(File, File) is deprecated, use
  IOUtilities.moveFile(File, File) instead (Matthieu Casanova)

- Plugin API : now the EditPlugin has two new methods :
  EditPlugin.getPluginHome() that will returns the path where the plugin
  should write it's data (it can return null if you run with nosettings).
  It is a folder build like that
  jEditSettingsDirectory/plugins/pluginClassName
  ex :
  ~/.jedit/plugins/sidekick.SidekickPlugin
  I hope this will help to make some cleanup in the jEdit settings directory folder
  (this folder is not created by jEdit, plugin developers must create it themselves)
  The second method is EditPlugin.usePluginHome()
  that plugin developers should overload to tell jEdit if they use this new folder
  The default is false (Matthieu Casanova)

- VFSFile.getIcon() and VFSFile.getDefaultIcon(). The getIcon() method
  can be override to use a custom icon for some VFS (Matthieu Casanova)

- Added org.gjt.sp.jedit.msg.PropertiesChanging; an EditBus message that is
  sent right before the global options dialog is shown, to allow plugins to
  flush any data that might be used by the option panes.
  (Marcelo Vanzin)

- OptionsDialog.init(String,String) was made protected (was private).
  (Marcelo Vanzin)

- New GUIUtilities.initContinuousLayout(JSplitPane) method that will
  init the JSplitPane with the appearance.continuousLayout property.
  It can be used by plugins that has JSplitPane when receiving a PropertiesChanged
