   Scintilla is a cross-platform source code editing component.

   Scintilla 5.5.6 is now available from the scintilla.org web site.

   This is a feature and fix release.

   On Win32, case-insensitive DBCS searching is around 5x faster. This costs 64K to cache case folding data for each DBCS encoding used during a session.

   DirectWrite will be used for autocompletion lists on Win32 when DirectWrite is chosen as the technology for the parent Scintilla window.

   A crash with bidirectional text was fixed on Win32.

   On QT, text clipped correctly; non-UTF-8 encoding handled better for autoCompleteSelection signal; dwell start avoided when mouse outside window.

   A C++17 compiler is required to build Scintilla. Microsoft Visual C++ 2022, GCC 9.0, Clang 9.0, Xcode 14 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
