[Slava P. <sl...@je...>]

jEdit 4.2pre6 is now available for download from <http://www.jedit.org>.

Thanks to Magnus Henriksson, Mirco Bova, Ollie Rutherfurd, and
Stephen Bartlett for contributing to this release.

{{{ Syntax Highlighting

- Added Apache httpd.conf syntax highlighting (Ollie Rutherfurd).

- Improved Scheme syntax highlighting (Stephen Bartlett).

- Improved MS-DOS batch file syntax highlighting (Mirco Bova).

- Added MCS51 (8051) microcontroller assembly syntax highlighting
  (Mirco Bova).

- Updated XSLT syntax highlighting (Magnus Henriksson).

{{{ Miscellaneous

- Pressing TAB with a rectangular selection now inserts a tab at the
  appropriate column, instead of shifting indent to the right.

- Added Up/Down arrows to the file system browser's colors option pane.
  This lets you change the order that file names are matched against the
  patterns in the list.

- Collapsed/expanded arrow icons in file system browser should now look
  good with a dark background as well (Kris Kopicki).

- The option for what to do when files change on disk in the General
  pane of the Utilities->Global Options dialog box is now tri-state:

  - Do nothing
  - Prompt
  - Automatically reload

  The first and last options correspond to the previous setting in
  4.2pre5. The second option is similar to the behavior in jEdit 4.1,
  except all changed buffers are listed in one dialog box.

- Edit->Complete Word now completes words in all visible buffers (ie,
  showing in at least one edit pane). So as a poor man's CodeAid, you
  can open a text file listing Java classes and methods in a zero-height
  split.

- The plugin manager now has better handling of loading and unloading
  plugins with dependencies.

- jEdit now attempts to auto-detect the encoding of XML files by looking
  for an <?xml ... encoding="..." ?> processing instruction on the first
  line of the file. Note that if this processing instruction is present,
  an encoding selected in the File->Open dialog box is ignored.

- jEdit will now refuse to load a plugin if some of the JAR files listed
  in its 'jars' property are missing.

- Added a few macros to the base distribution (Ollie Rutherfurd).

{{{ Bug Fixes

- Fixed problems with structure matching when soft wrap is on, if the
  structure spans more than one screen line (for example, this can
  happen with the tag matcher in the XML plugin).

- If 'Complete Word' was bound to TAB, pressing TAB would show the popup
  and immediately hide it.

- File drag and drop actually works now (so you should now remove the
  DragAndDrop plugin. Having it installed causes all dropped text to be
  copied, instead of moved.)

- Fixed a problem highlighting C preprocessor directives containing <.

- Batch mode didn't recognize @rem as a comment.

- The multiple results toggle in the HyperSearch results window was not
  being saved.

- International keys should once again work on JVMs that send AltGR
  sequences as Control+Alt (which is completely broken).

- Buffer.getPriorNonEmptyLine() did not access segments properly. This
  caused obscure problems with auto-indent.

- Fixed more problems with symbolic link handling in the file system
  browser.

- Fixed long-standing race condition in file system browser that could
  prevent a directory listing from being updated after a file was
  created, removed or renamed.

- Changes made in the Docking option pane only took effect after a
  restart.

- Fixed minor problem with digit handling in the Complete Word popup.

- Fixed problem with repeating user input in the action bar.

- Made it so that site properties are loaded just before user
  properties. This allows the look and feel to be changed via the site
  properties.

- Fixed a problem with Replace All over rectangular selections where
  only the first occurrence would be replaced.

- If a duplicate copy of a plugin was installed, opening the Shortcuts
  option pane could throw an exception.

- The Plugin Options dialog box can still be opened if initialization of
  an option pane fails.

- The key event workaround would ignore a KEY_TYPED event with the AltGR
  modifier that followed a KEY_PRESSED with a keyCode of \0. This is
  incorrect, and broke international key handling.

- Changing the buffer sorting options, or having untitled files would
  would cause the wrong buffers to be restored on startup.

- Fixed a problem with inserting text at the beginning of a fold line.

- The behaviour of shift-clicking inside an existing selection did not
  work in 4.2pre5.

- Selecting the "Install" or "Update" tab in the plugin manager no
  longer shows a modal dialog, since on some systems this would cause a
  beep.

- After opening a new file, the scroll bars would still reflect the
  previous buffer's state while the new file was being loaded.

- If a Replace All failed (for example, because the regular expression
  was invalid) the wait cursor would linger in the search and replace
  dialog box.

- If a buffer listed in the 'files on changed' dialog box was closed,
  clicking it in the list would cause problems.

- When editing a buffer in more than one text area, changing the last
  token of a line (for example, by inserting the start of a comment on
  that line) would not update subsequent lines in some cases.
