   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.

   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

   There will be a commercial macOS release of SciTE shortly.

   Thanks to the contributors of code and documentation and to the testers.

   Neil
