Textadept 1.6 is available.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed NULL byte bug associated with Lua interface due to multi-encoding support.
• Find marker is colored consistently.
• Fixed issue with buffer browser cursor saving.
• Fixed block character insertion issue on GTK-OSX.

Updates:

• Trimmed theme files.
• Added ‘file_before_save’ event.

I’d like to announce the release of Textadept 1.6 beta. This beta release supports multiple character encodings. I would NOT recommend it being used in production until the final 1.6 release sometime next week. However I would appreciate you all to hammer out any bugs it may have.

Textadept 1.2 was released.

There were no bugfixes.

Updates:

• Windows command line support (“Open With Textadept” works too).
• New ‘_m.textadept.run’ module for compiling and running programs. Output is printed to a message buffer and you can double-click errors and warnings to go to them in the source file. Calltips are displayed for reference.

I just released Textadept 1.1.

Notable new features:
* Dramatic speed increase for styling/lexing large files.
* Localization/Internationalization support (translations needed!)

Please see the News wiki page for more information.

Textadept 1.0!

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) 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.
