SciTE 5.6.0 released

[Neil Hodgson]

SciTE 5.6.0 is now available from the scintilla.org web site. It uses Lexilla 5.4.7 and Scintilla 5.6.0.

This is a crash fix release.

When the window was sized to be narrower than the margins, an empty text area caused undefined behaviour in a call to std::clamp. This was noticed on Linux using g++ where the UB caused a crash but may have occurred on other systems.

Windows executable releases are now signed with "Open Source Developer, Neil Hodgson". This should help with avoiding system warnings.

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

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

There will be a commercial macOS release of SciTE shortly.

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