A testing pre-release for Scintilla and SciTE 2.29 can now be
downloaded. I plan to release this version in a few days if no
problems are discovered.

The change log is:

To automatically discover the encoding of a file when opening it,
SciTE can run a program set with command.discover.properties. Feature
#3324341.
Cairo always used for drawing on GTK+.
The set of properties files imported by SciTE can be controlled with
the properties imports.include and imports.exclude. The import
statement has been extended to allow "import *". The properties files
for some languages are no longer automatically loaded by default. The
properties files affected are avenue, baan, escript, lot, metapost,
and mmixal.
C++ lexer fixed a bug with raw strings being recognised too easily.
Bug #3388122.
LaTeX lexer improved with more states and fixes to most outstanding
bugs. Bug #1493111. Bug #1856356. Bug #3081692.
Lua lexer updates for Lua 5.2 beta with goto labels and "\*" string
escape. Feature #3386330.
Perl string styling highlights interpolated variables. Feature
#3394258. Bug #3076629.
Perl lexer updated for Perl 5.14.0 with 0X and 0B numeric literal
prefixes, break keyword and "+" supported in subroutine prototypes.
Feature #3388802.
Perl bug fixed with CRLF line endings.
Markdown lexer fixed to not change state with "_" in middle of word.
Bug #3398184.
Cocoa restores compatibility with OS X 10.5.
Mouse pointer changes over selection to an arrow near start when
scrolled horizontally. Bug #3389055.
Indicators that finish at the end of the document no longer expand
when text is appended. Bug #3378718.
SparseState merge fixed to check if other range is empty. Bug #3387053.
On Windows, autocompletion lists will scroll instead of document when
mouse wheel spun. Feature #3403600.
SciTE performs more rapid polling for command completion so will
return faster and report more accurate times.
SciTE resizes panes proportionally when switched between horizontal
and vertical layout. Feature #3376784.
SciTE on GTK+ opens multiple files into a single instance more
reliably. Bug #3363754.
