New warnings on the following regular expressions:
"?", "^?", "{}?".
-
Escape sequences \b (a zero-width match of the point between a
word character and a nonword character, or vice verse) and \B (a
zero-width match of the point between 2 word characters or 2
nonword characters) added to TSE's regular expressions, and also
to grep.

e32: revert setting code page to 437.
sc32: revert using P_NOWAIT in call to spawn(sc32,...). Back to P_WAIT.
This should fix the problem folks were having with sc32 not compiling
all their files.
sc32 can now compile many macro specifications at once.
For example:
sc32 -be ui/tse -be ui/tse.cfg *.s mac/*.s mac/*.si user/*.s user/*.si
sc32 no longer needs quotes around parameters that contain wildcards.

Warning 1:
TSE's installation might fail due to the new bug
described at warning 2.
The bug appears to occur less on (computers with) a fast drive.
So an iffy solution could be to copy your TSE directory to
(a computer with) a fast drive, install TSE there, and copy
your directory back.
A more certain solution would be to wait for the next TSE release.
Warning 2:
Due to a new bug, various problems might occur
when bulk-compiling macros with
sc32 mac\*.s
sc32 mac\*.si
A possible work-around is
for %F in (mac\*.s) do (sc32 %F)
for %F in (mac\*.si) do (sc32 %F)
Unfortunately this will not fix TSE's installation issue.
Warning 3:
TSE Console (e32.exe) users should skip this version!
It has a serious bug, namely that it harcoded uses code page 437,
also known as "English (United States)",
instead of inheriting its code page from your environment.
This means that people with non-English or non-US computers,
which typically use code page 850 instead of 437,
will start seeing different characters in their existing files!
Type "chcp" in a command line or terminal to see your code page.
The differences between code pages 437 and 850 are listed
here.
For now stay at or revert to TSE v4.50.6.
Semware will repair this bug in the next TSE release.
Release notes:
-
tsort.com renamed to tsort.exe.
The sort and sanity1 macros were updated to account for this.
-
FillBlock() - updated string length from 128 to 255.
-
e32: sets codepage to 437
-
FileExists() rewritten.

Warning:
Due to a new bug some people might experience
a variaty of problems when bulk-compiling macros with
sc32 'mac/*.s'
sc32 'mac/*.si'
An equivalent work-around could be to bulk-compile macros with:
ls -1 mac/*.s | sed 's=^=sc32 =' | bash
ls -1 mac/*.s | sed 's=^=sc32 =' | bash
General release notes:
-
FillBlock() - updated string length from 128 to 255.
-
FileExists() rewritten.
Linux-specific release notes:
-
tsort.com renamed to tsort.

-
TSE can finally read Windows partitions.
-
[ Meaning that from Linux we can now browse any Windows
drives in the /mnt directory. ]
-
[ The same change also makes Linux TSE better compatible
with 64-bit Linux computers that have less support
for 32-bit applications. ]

-
Added the "-k" option to just keep using the debugged
macro's breakpoints and global variables across calls
without the ReloadMenu popping up.

A work-around has been put in place for the bug that occurred
when Windows TSE browsed to and "deleted" a WSL file it had no
delete-permission for.
Note from Carlo:
Testing shows no such work-around. Semware confirmed.
New editor variable: SearchCurrentDirectory.
Default: Off.
SearchCurrentDirectory makes TSE's SearchPath() search or not
search the current directory.
Fixed: Directory handling routines could misdiagnose the position of the
extension in filenames like the following:
"c:\users\bob\d\foo\bar\v 1.3 - 1.6 (flash)\v 1.5 (ex)\x\8-bit
cpu 32k" This file does not have an extension, but the editor
did not always get that right.
File Manager: When called with paths > ~150 characters, failed.
Increased command line variable (cmdline) to 255 characters in
the main routine.
Updated the whtspc macro.
Added a few new words to the Keywords string in the .ui files.

Release notes:
When writing files to stdout, tsort was adding an additional CR.
This is because Windows opens stdout in text mode.
To fix this, the following was added to tsort:
setmode(fileno(stdout), O_BINARY);
When writing the config file from Full Configuration, turn off
entab_on_save.
Don't add chr(0) after view finds/view grep's filenames. This
was added in RC 13, but has been reverted.
In CompareLines(), use _IGNORE_CASE_ and _FILTER_SPACES_.
_DESCENDING_ now supported.
The maximum key len for both the internal and external sort is now
set at 16,000 characters.
Update the external sort to be stable when sorting in reverse order.

tse-linux-4.50-rc11.tgz
This Linux release candidate has been brought up-to-date with
the changes of all the Windows release candidates.
Release notes:
-
New command line options:
-
-color
or
-color 8
Force using 8 background colors mode (16 foreground colors).
This mode works with all Linux terminals and command lines.
-
-color 16
Force using 16 background colors mode (16 foreground colors).
-
-color rgb
Force using 24-bit (16,777,216) background (and foreground) colors mode.
-
Current logic the editor uses to determines which mode to use:
-
If TERM environment variable = "xterm256", then use 24-bit color mode.
-
else if TERM environment variable includes the word "xterm",
then use 16 color mode,
-
else use 8 color mode.
The new command line options override this.
-
GetColorTableValue() and SetColorTableValue() now work, as long as the
editor is in 24-bit color mode. This means that the setpalette macro
now works in Linux-land if 24-bit color mode is in use.
-
If the editor issues a warning before the output system has
been initialized, it can cause it to crash. Fixed.
[ Note from Carlo: I think that was an old, already fixed bug.
I reported a remaining imperfection with Warn():
I will test whether that is now fixed. ]

If you mark a COLUMN block that only contains columns past the
end of a line, and copy it to the Windows clipboard, then
TSE's clipboard menu does not gray out pasting from the
Windows clipboard, but if you select it, then you get a
message that the Windows clipboard is empty. Fixed.

Release notes:
-
Fix bug in setting SpecialEffects. Essentially, the range checking did not
take the new _TOP_RT_POPUPS_ into consideration.
-
New command:
integer EditPopWin(title, x1, y1, width, height, boxtype box)
Will change x1, y1, based on SpecialEffects settings. Then calls PopWinOpen.
Probably needs a better name - suggestions welcome.
-
Minor update to grep macro - use a EditPopWin() to open the initial window.
This command respects configured window positioning, unlike PopWinOpen.
-
Added some new color setups to setpalette:
Campbell
Starman
LinuxShell
MiniBasic
Carlo1
softcga2
-
Fixed bug in sc32:
#define FOO = 123
Causes sc32 to crash.
-
If no default size is specified, we let Windows pick. But
sometimes Windows picks weird sizes. So if no default specified,
and Windows picks a strange size (e.g., really small, or really
large), use 44 rows by 100 columns.
-
Minor update to file manager macro (f.s) - If a file is loaded from an archive,
append original name to the temp name.
-
By default, turned off the new highlighting in block option.
-
Update GotoMark(mark) so that it always returns true, unless mark
is not defined.

These sequences are not recognized inside a class, e.g.: []. If there
is a need for this, let me know and I'll see about adding that.
There is a conflict between \d and \dnnn.

Release notes:
-
All ui files have been updated.
-
In all ui's, the editor now merges the recent files list
with the disk version, if the file on disk has changed
relative to the one in memory. It isn't perfect, but it
is (I think) better than losing recent filenames when you
run multiple instances of the editor.
-
grep: Fixed a bug in grep-list processing that could
crash the editor.
-
listopen: updated sort, now uses <alt w> to write
(save), <alt s> to sort.
-
sort: fixed a bug where the ignore case option was ignored
with kill dupes. Thanks to Knud Van Eeden for the report.
-
compile: doesn't work on a read-only drive.
-
Several (or a dozen) keywords added to SAL syntax
highlighting.
-
GetShortPath(): Should not remove quotes from files with
spaces in the name
-
f (filemanager): Did not support viewing zip files on UNC
paths
-
Added "Program" to signon screen.
-
UpdateBufferDaTmAttr([string filename]) changed to support
an optional filename. If passed, the current buffer's info
is updated from that filename. Useful when you have a
system buffer backing a diskfile, but the name of the
buffer is not the same as the diskfile.
-
_STATE_BUSY_: new built-in constant, returned by
QueryEditState().
-
Fixed a bug in the Linux version, where ExecMacro() on a
non-existing macro returns TRUE.
-

multiple embedded dots, as in: "foo...bar".
