Due to a potentially serious bug in multi-threaded word wrap, there
will likely be a new release today (in around 8 hours).

The bug only occurs when multi-threaded layout and word wrap are both
turned on so can be avoided by setting layout threads to 1 with
SCI_SETLAYOUTTHREADS.

Please reply quickly if you can see any reason to stop or delay this release.

Other changes in this release:

SciTE 5.6.6
• Add margin.cursor property to set the mouse pointer over the margins.
• On GTK, the keyboard command for Make Selection Uppercase was
changed to Ctrl+Alt+U so it doesn't clash with Unicode entry.
• On GTK, Find in Files now uses threads instead of running an extra
SciTE process. This should avoid problems with characters that are
significant to the Unix shell.
• On Windows, fix bug where opening properties files multiple times
from the options menu would open multiple tabs. Bug #2514.

Lexilla 5.5.3
• Progress: Add typed [annotations] as SCE_ABL_TYPEDANNOTATION. Pull
request #369.

Scintilla 5.6.6
• Add position to fields of UpdateUI event in Scintilla.iface.
