Scintilla 5.1.5 is now available from the scintilla.org web site.

This is a medium release that changes behaviour, removes a target, and fixes platform-specific bugs.

Calls to string returning APIs have been changed to be more consistent. Applications should check that calls to SCI_GETTEXT, SCI_GETSELTEXT, and SCI_GETCURLINE work correctly.

The ScintillaEditPy Python Qt binding has been removed.

On Cocoa, active state is set correctly at creation; bug fixed where margin would not draw when scrolled; and crash fixed when drag image empty.

On GTK using Wayland with a secondary monitor, fix problems with autocompletion display.

A C++17 compiler is required to build Scintilla. Microsoft Visual C++ 2019, GCC 7.3, Clang 6.0, Xcode 9.2 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.

Neil
