Wxwindows scintilla

Scintilla is a contributed project which means it will not be the latest by the time a new wxWidgets distribution is released.

The ambitious goal of this project is to provide fresh Perl 5 and maybe 6 support in Wx while preserving compatibility with Wx::StyledTextCtrl and continually contribute it back to Scintilla project.

They are mutually exclusive. My next goal is to support more platforms. Please let me know if you can help out :. I searched for Perl lexer changes in scintilla history and here is what we will be getting when we upgrade to 2. Perl folding folds "here doc"s and adds options fold. Fold structure for Perl fixed. This work is based on his codebase. Big thanks!

GitHub web UI is easier to use and much faster. However this is also the main disadvantage of this change: you now need to have a GitHub account in order to report issues in wxWidgets.

We hope that relatively few people will be negatively affected by this, but for those who are, please post your bug reports to our mailing lists instead. And please also use the mailing lists to let us know if you encounter any problems after this migration! A quick overview of the recent changes and improvements in wxWidgets: since 3.

But now you can also easily provide your own high resolution version to avoid the bitmaps in your application looking blurry in high DPI. This already works today with wxButton and all the derived classes , wxStaticBitmap and wxToolBar and all the other classes using bitmaps will support the new API in wx 3. The next big addition to the API is the wxUILocale class , which provides a new and more flexible way to get locale-specific information than the old wxLocale.

It also uses BCP like identifiers for the locale instead of wxLanguage enum, which allows it to cover all the languages supported by the OS and not just those known to wxWidgets, and provides a new CompareString function which compares strings using language-specific rules.

It is recommended to use this class rather than wxLocale in all new code, especially for applications targeting macOS, as using the old class results in a bad bug under macOS As many of you might have heard, the Freenode IRC network changed management a week ago, in what can only be described as a hostile takeover. The original Freenode staff that has taken great care of us for about two decades now have all resigned from Freenode, and created Libera.

Chat , which we have decided to migrate to.
