Scintilla 5.5.9 released

[Neil Hodgson]

Scintilla is a cross-platform source code editing component.

Scintilla 5.5.9 is now available from the scintilla.org web site.

This is a feature and fix release.

An option is provided to disable drag and drop.

The background colour used just after the line end is changed to not use the last style on line unless the eolfilled attribute is set.

For Chinese code page 936, the single byte 0x80 is displayed as a Euro '€'.

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.

A list of changes is available on the history page.

Scintilla uses Mercurial (Hg) for source code control. The repository can be cloned with
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/scintilla/code scintilla

Thanks to the contributors of code and documentation and to the testers.
