SciTE 5.6.4 released

   SciTE 5.6.4 is now available from the scintilla.org web site. It uses Le=
xilla 5.5.1 and Scintilla 5.6.4.

   This is a security and performance release.

   The most prominent change is a set of properties that limit the damage t=
hat can be done by malicious Lua scripts. These changes are for scenarios w=
here projects are downloaded from public code sharing sites like GitHub and=
 may have been infected with malicious scripts and settings. Many users do =
not use scripts so this will improve safety at little cost.

   Script settings in local and directory properties are now disabled by de=
fault and can only be enabled in user or global properties. The property al=
low.local.script may be set to 1 in user properties to enable commands that=
 would load Lua scripts. For script lexers, the property allow.script.lexer=
 should also be set to 1 in user properties.

   To disable local properties completely, set properties.local.enable=3D0 =
in user properties.

   There were improvements for Baan, HTML, and XML.

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

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