Release 3.3.2 next week

[Neil Hodgson]

   Enough changes are ready for a new release early next week.

   A rough change list:

• Basic implementations of common folding methods added to Scintilla to make it easier for containers to implement folding.
• Add indicator INDIC_COMPOSITIONTHICK, a thick low underline, to mimic an appearance used for Asian language input composition.
• On Cocoa, implement font quality setting. Feature #988.
• On Cocoa, implement automatic enabling of commands and added clear command. Feature #987.
• C++ lexer adds style for preprocessor doc comment. Feature #990.
• Haskell folder improved. Bug #1459 .
• LaTeX lexer bug fixed for Unicode character following '\'. Bug #1468 .
• PowerShell lexer recognises here strings and doccomment keywords. #region folding added. Feature #985.
• Fix multi-typing when two carets are located in virtual space on one line so that spaces are preserved.
• Fixes to input composition on Cocoa and implementation of accented character input through press and hold. Set selection correctly so that changes to pieces of composition text are easier to perform. Restore undo collection after a sequence of composition actions. Composition popups appear near input.
• Fix lexer problem where no line end was seen at end of document.
• Fix crash on Cocoa when view deallocated. Bug #1466.
• Fix Qt window positioning to not assume the top right of a monitor is at 0, 0.
• Fix Qt to not track mouse when widget is hidden.
• Qt now supports Qt 5.0. Bug #1448.
• Fix drawing on Windows with Direct2D when returning from lock screen. The render target had to be recreated and an area would be black since the drawing was not retried.
• Fix display of DBCS documents on Windows Direct2D/DirectWrite with default character set.
• For SciTE on Windows, fixed most-recently-used menu when files opened through check.if.already.opened.
• In SciTE, do not call OnSave twice when files saved asynchronously.
• Scintilla no longer builds with Visual C++ 6.0.

   There were some problems with Japanese language input on OS X 10.6. One was for a call that is only available on OS X 10.7+ so there is a workaround for that using an old call that is deprecated in 10.7.

   The others were in platform-independent code so could affect other platforms. The second problem was reading from a NULL pointer - in the previous version this read beyond the end of a zero-length allocation. The third was in failing to display a Japanese character at the start of a line and was caused by a mistake in converting to using a std::vector.

   A folding bug was fixed for Haskell.
