SciTE 5.6.5 is now available from the scintilla.org web site. It uses Le= xilla 5.5.2 and Scintilla 5.6.5. This is a security and performance release. Windows on ARM executables are now available as SciTEArm.EXE or ScArm_56= 5.EXE. File names and paths that contain characters that are significant to the= shell stop SciTE from running commands on those files. This prevents unint= entionally running commands from compromised repositories. This is mostly o= f concern on Unix where the shell has more special cases than on Windows. I= t is controlled with the unsafe.path.characters property so can be made mor= e or less rigorous. On Linux, Find in Files should work for more cases where the search stri= ng includes shell-significant characters like '$' and '`'. On Windows, the SciTE taskbar icon can change appearance while a command= is executing by setting icon.busy=3D1. The distributed property files quote variables in command properties to = allow more characters such as ' ' to work in file names. There were improvements for JavaScript. A C++20 compiler is needed to build SciTE. A detailed list of changes is available on the history page. https://www.scintilla.org/SciTEHistory.html SciTE uses Mercurial (Hg) and Git for source code control. The repositor= ies can be cloned with git clone https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/scintilla/code hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/scintilla/scite Downloads: https://www.scintilla.org/SciTEDownload.html There will be a commercial macOS release of SciTE shortly.
