Scintilla 5.6.6 released

[Neil Hodgson]

Scintilla is a cross-platform source code editing component.

Scintilla 5.6.6 is now available from the scintilla.org web site.

This is bug fix release.

A bug with multi-threaded word wrap was fixed. This bug could potentially cause out-of-bounds memory writes. It is only possible in word wrap mode when more than one layout thread has been configured.

Signed versions of Scintilla.DLL are included in the SciTE Windows executable downloads that can be used by downstream projects. It is signed "Open Source Developer, Neil Hodgson".

A C++17 compiler is required to build Scintilla. Microsoft Visual C++ 2022, GCC 9.0, Clang 9.0, Xcode 14 Clang or newer will work. Some slightly older compilers may still work.

A list of changes is available on the history page.
