Upcoming 5.6.4 release

[Neil Hodgson]

New versions of Lexilla (5.5.1), Scintilla (5.6.4), and SciTE (5.6.4)
will be released soon, likely on 6 July.

Changes:

SciTE 5.6.4

• Add allow.local.script, allow.script.lexer, and
properties.local.enable properties to avoid some potential problems
with running untrusted code. Protect SciteDefaultHome and
SciteUserHome so they can not be modified in local or directory
options. Bug #2389.

Lexilla 5.5.1

• Baan: Fix stack out-of-bounds write for with long preprocessor token
and long identifier. Issue #364.
• XML and HTML: Change CDATA styling so that only the contents are in
SCE_H_CDATA. The "CDATA" is styled as SCE_H_SGML_COMMAND and the
punctuation as SCE_H_SGML_DEFAULT. Issue #365.

Scintilla 5.6.4

• On Qt improve display for fractional scaling by providing
SCI_SETSCALETECHNIQUE API. The SCALE_TECHNIQUE_PIXEL_ALIGNED value
will eliminate potential 'seams' between lines and between runs on a
line. Bug #2450.
• Scintilla.iface is augmented with comments indicating which APIs
take pixel values so may be automatically scaled by wrappers. For
compatibility this is currently indicated in comments after each
affected API but this will change to using the 'pixels' type in a
future version, Downstream projects should examine this and make any
needed changes, such as using floating point types for wrapper
methods. To help migration, the scripts/FilterPixels.py script can
convert this Scintilla.iface into the previous form with no mention of
'pixels' or into the final form with 'pixels' as the only type for
these features.
• On Qt always place ScintillaEditBase library in scintilla/bin
instead of depending on Qt version.
• Optimize SCI_CHANGEINSERTION that sets empty insertion by not
producing empty undo action and potential save point change. Feature
#1588.
