Textadept 1.0

Textadept 1.0!

SciTE-st Release 9

I apologize for the pain Release 8 caused. Hopefully Release 9 makes up for it. I compiled lpeg into the Lua that’s compiled into Scintilla-st/SciTE-st so lua51.dll and liblua51.so are no longer necessary for Scintilla-st. I also put the properties files back into the package.

Other than that, there are no other major changes for the windows version. I removed the project manager in the Linux version though. It was causing too many headaches.

Note that even though I’ve included all of SciTE’s normal properties files, highlighting for all languages is not supported. Most of them are though.

Textadept Release 6 (beta)

Textadept Release 6 (beta) is out with Windows support (finally!). Hopefully it works out. Another notable feature is theming. Textadept mimick’s the SciTE theme by default so SciTE users should feel right at home. A lot of the keyboard shortcuts are the same too! The manual also received an overhaul and should be much more helpful.
