History
~~~~~~~~~
Version 2.0 build 12 (2021-02-28)
Improvements:
- The program partially supports Unicode/UTF now. The editor works with European languages w/o any issues
but eastern characters are not supported mainly because the Windows monospaced fonts are actually not
fixed-width for those code pages.
- New docking window framework
The control panels like "File Panel", "History" can be docked more easily, as well as stacked in tabs.
Additionally panels can "Auto hide" in the docking mode. The window tab control workbook is more functional
and nicer than in the previous version.
- The external grep program was replaced with the internal implementation which is faster and more functional.
Bug fixes for earlier 2.0 version:
- Tortoise Git menu does not appear in the file context menu
- Hanging on attempt to send email
Version 1.3 build X (20XX-XX-XX)
Improvements:
- The program automatically reloads the template file if it was changed externally
- Added a quicker way to create a new Template from the editor using the context menu.
The select text will be used as Template body.
- Added ability to modify the selected Template from Autocomplete/Template list
using the context menu
- Added name uniqueness validation for new and modified Templates
- Find Match (Ctrl+]) works with CASE in SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statements
Version 1.2 build 7 (2017-12-01)
It is catch up release with major features implemented in sqltools.
Improvements:
- Updated the program setup and created a new one that does not require admin
rights. The new setup uses a user profile folder (instead of C:\Program Files)
as a default destination for the program files.
- Multiple workspace related improvements and fixes
- Implemented "Rename / Move" command (internally it calls SaveAs
and then deletes the original file)
- Added "Find Selected" [or current word] with the default shortcut Ctrl+F3 & Ctrl+Shift+F3
Bug fixes:
- indentation does not work with a single line columnar selection
- Search / replace history is not preserved correctly if INI file is chosen
to keep supplemental settings. Search history is stored in binary format now.
- "Go to active document location" not working on the first attempt
if FilePanel was not open before
Version 1.2 build 6 (2016-08-08)
Improvements:
- Simplified internal idle processing in order to reduce CPU usage
- Added ability to turn on/off Syntax Gutter
Bug fixes:
Version 1.2 build 5 (2016-08-01)
Improvements:
- Added workspace commands to the main toolbar
- Added shortcuts for workspace operations:
Workspace.Copy Ctrl+Shift+W,C
Workspace.Paste Ctrl+Shift+W,V
Workspace.Save Ctrl+Shift+W,S
Workspace.SaveAs Ctrl+Shift+W,A
Workspace.SaveQuick Ctrl+Shift+W,Q
Workspace.Open Ctrl+Shift+W,O
Workspace.OpenQuick Ctrl+Shift+W,I
Workspace.OpenAutosaved Ctrl+Shift+W,T
Workspace.OpenClose Ctrl+Shift+W,L
- added quicksave workspaces - created by single click on toolbar.
QS workspace disappears from menu after opening. Those files are stored
with autosaved workspaces and their names are generated
by "QS-YYYY-MM-DD-HH24-MI" format mask.
- changed autosave filename format to "AS-YYYY-MM-DD-HH24-MI-SS_pid###"
- added setting to control size of recent files/workspaces menus
- saving all changes in workspace instead of in individual files
- detecting if file changed after opening modified version from workspace
Version 1.2 build 4 (2016-07-14)
Improvements:
- Reimplemented recent file list. It can keep hundreds of files
with the last cursor position/selection/bookmarks.
- Added "History" tab to "File Panel"
Bug fixes:
- a workspace file saved w/o a default extension if user changes the file name
in SaveAs dialog
- Undo for columnar block inserted beyond EOF leaves garbage on screen
in some cases
Version 1.2 build 3 (2016-06-29)
Improvements:
- Introduced workspace and workspace autosaving. Workspace is edit session
but called differently to avoid confusion with Oracle session.
The unique feature is keeping layout (positions/selections/bookmarks/...)
and text changes in the same file.
- Added File format (Windows/Unix/Mac) to Text/Format menu
it was buried deeply in settings
Version 1.2 build 2 (2016-06-15)
Improvements:
- When selecting a text with your mouse, double-click on the first word,
hold down the mouse on the second click and then select your text.
It will now select text by words, not characters.
The same can be initiated by single-click with <Ctrl> pressed.
- <Alt><Shift>+Arrow or mouse click starts Alternative Columnar selection mode,
the difference from "Classic" Columnar selection is it automatically returns
to "stream" selection as soon as the current edit operation is done
Version 1.2 build 1 (2016-06-09)
Improvements:
- Highlighting for changed lines (yellow - changed, green - changed & saved,
gold - changed, saved & reverted)
- Highlighting all occurrences of selected word
- Displaying full path in the status bar when an open recent file menu item is selected
- Changed the way the mouse position is mapped to text position.
- made Template dialog resizable
Bug fixes:
- the cursor does not change position on right mouse click
- fixed some highlighting issues in SQL files
- added programmatically missing templates
Version 1.1 build 16 (2016-08-23)
Bug fixes:
- EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION on expand template if template list is empty
Version 1.1 build 15 (2015-07-26)
Bug fixes:
- Save File: added FlushViewOfFile & FlushFileBuffers to force Windows to flush data to disk
Version 1.1 build 14 (2015-01-24)
Bug fixes:
- template changes are not available for already open files
Version 1.1 build 12 (2014-03-03)
Bug fix:
- multiline drag and drop in columnar mode does nothing
- Window shell commands removed from the editor contect menu,
alternatively they are available on <Shift> + right click.
Version 1.1 build 11 (2014-02-04)
Improvements:
- "File Panel/Open Files" can be a drag & drop source
so any file can be dragged and dropped on another application
such as SQLTools.
- File Shell menu items added to the editor context menu.
- Added a set of operations on a stream columnar selection:
Edit.RemoveExcessiveBlankLines Ctrl+K,H
Edit.TrimLeadingSpaces Ctrl+K,O
Edit.TrimExcessiveSpaces Ctrl+K,P
Edit.TrimTrailingSpaces Ctrl+K,R
Bug fixes:
- selection stays on cursor move by Ctrl+[
- paste on multi-line columnar selection uses the cursor position
instead of the beginning of selection
Version 1.1 build 9 (2011-12-04)
Improvements:
- Added a set of operations on a stream selection:
Edit.JoinLines Ctrl+K,J
Edit.SplitLine Ctrl+K,K
- Added a set of operations on a stream columnar selection:
Edit.ColumnInsert Ctrl+K,B
Edit.ColumnInsertNumber Ctrl+K,M
Edit.ColumnLeftJustify Ctrl+K,Y
Edit.ColumnCenterJustify Ctrl+K,V
Edit.ColumnRightJustify Ctrl+K,W
Edit.RemoveBlankLines Ctrl+K,G
- Under development:
Edit.RemoveExcessiveBlankLines Ctrl+K,H
Edit.TrimLeadingSpaces Ctrl+K,O
Edit.TrimExcessiveSpaces Ctrl+K,P
Edit.TrimTrailingSpaces Ctrl+K,R
Bug fixes:
- insert and delete of a columnar selection do not handle tabified lines
properly. Now any columnar operation untabifies a selected rectangle
and the surrounding area in the case if the selection margins are not aligned
with tab positions. Copy operation of a columnar selection expands tabs and
fills up shorter lines with spaces.
Version 1.1 build 7 (2011-11-21)
Improvements:
- Added highlighting for matching brace, two color properties "Highlighting"
and "Error Highlighting". Taken from sqltools++ but it was altered.

in theory it can handle 2GB lines.

that allows access to TortoiseSVN / CVS commands using the application menu
- "File Manager" allows to execute/rename/delete files and folders
- "File Manager" file type filter is finally implemented

- "File Manager" settings page has been added to control new features
- improved stability of XML settings storage
Bug fixes:
- file custom.keymap is missing

improvement:
- Added an option to use INI file for supplemental settings
instead of Windows registry
Version 1.0 build 1 (2011-10-02)
improvement:
- FindMatch does not work for TXT files because no language defined.
Now C++ is used as default.
bug fixes:
- deleting selection extended beyond EOF causes EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
- FindReplace dialog can go beyond the display screen and stay there
Version 0.99 build 3 (2011-09-21)
OpenEditor has been released under GNU GPL v3 (updated from v2 to v3).
Improvements:
- improved cursor position / selection indicator has been borrowed from sqltools++

Bug fixes:
- Added JOIN, INNER, OUTER to sql keywords (remove old language.xml)
- a small fix for CASE expression in PLS/SQL language support
- block indent keeps a selection anchored to a text
- /**/ comments after END of a procedure cause a compilation error
- block undent does not work correctly if Tab size > Indent size
