Upcoming 3.6.6

[Neil Hodgson]

3.6.6 will likely be released on Monday May 23. GTK+ is the most active platform this time: as well as adding support for introspection of events, crashes and other bugs have been fixed.

Change list:
• C++ 11 <regex> support built by default. Can be disabled by defining NO_CXX11_REGEX.
• SciTE_USERHOME environment variable allows separate location for writable properties files. Feature #965.
• GObject introspection supports notify and command events.
• The Progress lexer now allows comments preceded by a tab.
• Scripts reading Scintilla.iface file include comments for enu and lex definitions. Bug #1829 .
• Fix crashes on GTK+ if idle work active when destroyed. Bug #1827.
• Fixed bugs when used on GTK+ 3.20. Bug #1825.
• Fix SciTE search field background with dark theme on GTK+ 2.x. Bug #1826.
• Fixed bug on Win32 that allowed resizing autocompletion from bottom when it was located above the caret.
• On Win32, when using a screen reader and selecting text using Shift+Arrow, fix bug when scrolling made the caret stay at the same screen location so the screen reader did not speak the added or removed selection.

Please report any new bugs.

Another bug fix for GTK+ 3.20 was committed. GTK+ 3.20 will become much more common due to impending distribution releases so I thought this important enough to be included.

Since this fix may have unintended consequences, the release date is pushed out an extra day to Tuesday May 24 so that GTK+ users can check the change.
