Scintilla 5.6.1 released

[Neil Hodgson]

Scintilla is a cross-platform source code editing component.

Scintilla 5.6.1 is now available from the scintilla.org web site.

This is a feature and fix release.

Mode added to draw tabs as [HT] blobs.

Mouse drag behaviour improved when drag and drop disabled.

Fixed regression in SCI_CONVERTEOLS.

A signed version of Scintilla.DLL is included in the SciTE Windows executable download 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.
