SciTE 5.6.6 is now available from the scintilla.org web site. It uses Lexilla 5.5.3 and Scintilla 5.6.6.

This is a bug fix release.

A potentially serious bug with word wrap was fixed.

On GTK, Find in Files uses a thread instead of a process and should have fewer bugs with special characters.

On GTK, the keyboard command for Make Selection Uppercase was changed to Ctrl+Alt+U so it doesn't clash with Unicode entry.

On Windows, bug fixed where opening properties files multiple times from the options menu would open multiple tabs.

The cursor over margins may be set with the margin.cursor property.

There were improvements for the Progress language.

A C++20 compiler is needed to build SciTE.

A detailed list of changes is available on the history page.

SciTE uses Mercurial (Hg) and Git for source code control. The repositories can be cloned with
git clone https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/scintilla/code
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/scintilla/scite

There will be a commercial macOS release of SciTE shortly.

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

Neil
