Upcoming 3.6.2

[Neil Hodgson]

   Time for a new release so that will likely occur on Friday November 6.

   This release has some fixes for Scintilla and changes properties files for SciTE.

   Change list:

• Whitespace may be made visible just in indentation.
• Whitespace dots are centred when larger than 1 pixel.
• The Scintilla framework on Cocoa now contains version numbers.
• SciTE's standard properties collect values from all active .properties file to produce the Language menu and the file types pull-down in the File open dialog.
• The single executable version of SciTE, Sc1, uses 'module' statements within its embedded properties. This makes it act more like the full distribution allowing languages to be turned on and off by setting imports.include and imports.exclude. The default imports.exclude property adds eiffel, erlang, ps, and pov so these languages are turned off by default.
• SciTE adds an output.blank.margin.left property to allow setting the output pane margin to a different width than the edit pane.
• CoffeeScript lexer highlights ranges correctly. Bug #1765.
• Markdown lexer treats line starts consistently to always highlight *foo* or similar at line start. Bug #1766.
• Optimise marker redrawing by only drawing affected lines when markers shown in the text.
• On Cocoa, timers and idling now work in modal dialogs. This also stops some crashes.
• On Cocoa, fix crashes when deleting a ScintillaView. These crashes could occur when scrolling at the time the ScintillaView was deleted although there may have been other cases.
• On GTK+ 2.x, fix height of lines in autocompletion lists. Bug #1774.
• Fix bug with SCI_LINEENDDISPLAY where the caret moved to the next document line instead of the end of the display line. Bug #1772.
• Report error (SC_STATUS_FAILURE) when negative length passed to SCI_SETSTYLING. Bug #1768.
• When SC_MARK_UNDERLINE is not assigned to a margin, stop drawing the whole line.
• When reverting an untitled document in SciTE, just clear it with no message about a file. Bug #1764.
• SciTE on GTK+ allows use of Ctrl+A (Select All) inside find and replace strips. Bug #1769.
