New versions of Lexilla (5.4.8), Scintilla (5.6.1), and SciTE (5.6.1)
will be released soon in a few days.

Changes:

SciTE 5.6.1

   =E2=80=A2 For GTK, replace deprecated or removed function
gdk_pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data. Bug #2498.

Lexilla 5.4.8

   =E2=80=A2 Batch: Remove line length limitation and change to an object
lexer. Issue #228.
   =E2=80=A2 Forth: Treat \r\n line ends the same as \n. This makes testing
easier. Issue #349.
   =E2=80=A2 Forth: Allow more Forth words to be symbols or begin with a
symbol. Require whitespace around line comment tokens, similar to the
left-hand parenthesis of stream comments. Issue #351.
   =E2=80=A2 JavaScript: in cpp lexer, add lexer.cpp.enable.preprocessor an=
d
lexer.cpp.allow.hashes properties. This allows disabling preprocessor
recognition (as JavaScript doesn't have a preprocessor) and
recognizing private elements that start with a #. Issue #48.
   =E2=80=A2 JSON: Fix escaped quote in SCE_JSON_URI. Issue #72.

Scintilla 5.6.1

   =E2=80=A2 Add mode to draw tabs as [HT] blobs with
SCI_SETTABDRAWMODE(SCTD_CONTROLCHAR).
   =E2=80=A2 Improve mouse drag behaviour when drag and drop disabled. Feat=
ure #1581.
   =E2=80=A2 Fix regression in SCI_CONVERTEOLS that may not convert whole
file. Bug #2501.
