If you were apprehensive about any previous releases, I encourage you to try this one for sure.

SciTE-st Release 7

22SciTE-st Release 7 is out following the release of Scintilla and SciTE 1.76.

There are no major changes to this release, but for the new people, be sure to read the README.txt in the archive.

Regarding SciTE-st on Ubuntu

I’ve received a report about SciTE-st crashing on Ubuntu out of the box because of missing Lua symbols. The reason for this is most probably

If your system’s Lua shared library is not named `liblua.so` (e.g. Ubuntu’s
`liblua5.1.so`), make a symlink from it to `liblua.so`.

Once you do that, it should work.

New Scopes in Embedded Language Lexers

In response to a posting on the SciTE-tools mailing list, I have implemented embedded language-specific snippets. The affected lexers are css, javascript, rhtml, and php. I have updated the snippets for rhtml in html/snippets.lua. You need to get the new html.properties as well.

Also available in SVN (revision 207).

SciTE-st Release 6

This is the packaged release of SciTE-st. No more jumping through loops to download dependencies, copy them to places, make sure platform variables are set, etc. All of the files are in one place and hopefully you’ll just be able to unpack the archive, move it to an appropriate location, and run the executable with everything working right away.

As always please be sure to read the documentation (links on the side).

Scintilla and SciTE have been updated to v1.75

Windows

Linux

Note you still have to install the Linux version to /usr/share/scite-st or recompile.

Just a heads up: while I’m at the university, development will slow down some.2
