3.3.2 [05-23-13]

Released 22 May 2013.
Basic implementations of common folding methods added to Scintilla to make it easier for containers to implement folding.
Add indicator INDIC_COMPOSITIONTHICK, a thick low underline, to mimic an appearance used for Asian language input composition.

Fixes to input composition on Cocoa and implementation of accented character input through press and hold. Set selection correctly so that changes to pieces of composition text are easier to perform. Restore undo collection after a sequence of composition actions. Composition popups appear near input.
Fix lexer problem where no line end was seen at end of document.
Fix crash on Cocoa when view deallocated. Bug #1466.

Fix Qt to not track mouse when widget is hidden.

v3.3.1 [04-14-13]

Released 11 April 2013.
Autocompletion lists can now appear in priority order or be sorted by Scintilla. Feature #981.
Most lexers now lex an extra NUL byte at the end of the document which makes it more likely they will classify keywords at document end correctly. Bug #574, Bug #588.

Matlab/Octave lexer recognises block comments and ... comments. Bug #1414.
Ruby lexer crash fixed with keyword at start of document.

While regular expression search in DBCS text is still not working, matching partial characters is now avoided by moving end of match to end of character.

v3.3.0 [04-05-13]

Released 30 March 2013.
Overlay scrollers and kinetic scrolling implemented on Cocoa.
To improve display smoothness, styling and UI Update notifications will, when possible, be performed in a high-priority idle task on Cocoa instead of during painting.

Released 26 February 2013.
To allow cooperation between different uses of extended (beyond 255) styles they should be allocated using SCI_ALLOCATEEXTENDEDSTYLES.
For Unicode documents, lexers that use StyleContext will retrieve whole characters instead of bytes. LexAccessor provides a LineEnd method which can be a more efficient way to handle line ends and can enable Unicode line ends.
The C++ lexer understands the #undef directive when determining preprocessor definitions. Feature #978.
The errorlist lexer recognises gcc include path diagnostics that appear before an error.
Folding implemented for GetText (PO) translation language. Bug #1437.
HTML lexer does not interrupt comment style for processing instructions. Bug #1447.

v2.20 [08-01-10]

Released 30 July 2010.
Lexers are implemented as objects so that they may retain extra state. The interfaces defined for this are tentative and may change before the next release. Compatibility classes allow current lexers compiled into Scintilla to run with few changes.
