Release notes:
-
Regex find syntax error sets internal errorlevel,
which can be queried via DosIOResult().
-
If you did a large block operation during NON_EDIT events, you
would not always get progress feedback. This has been fixed.
-
User variable SearchCurrentDirectory now defaults to on.
In response to many private emails I [Semware] 've gotten
regarding this behavior.
-
EditFile("nodir\nofile"), even if "nodir" does not exist,
will open "nodir\nofile". Fixed, and added to sanity.
-
bool RepeatFindForw()
bool RepeatFindBack()
Repeats the last Find() command in the indicated direction.
-
Also, in List()/lList() windows,
<f3> and <shift f3>
invoke RepeatFindForw() and RepeatFindBack(),
respectively.
-
Corrected a massive blunder in the rendering of windows
elements in 4.50.3.

Release notes:
-
bug: CopyToClipboard() did not set clipboard blocktype.
This has been fixed.
-
bug: In Windows 10 or 11, when using Terminal:
e32 dos("dir *") does not properly refresh the screen.
g32 dos("dir *"), one cannot close the window.
Both of these have been fixed.
-
Added missing CopyToClipboard, GetStrFromClipboard to sal.syn.
-
sc32: no error checking for memory allocation errors in a
couple of places.
-
sc32 now compiles with the Microsoft C compiler (32-bit)
and the GNU C compiler (32-bit).
It has not been verified yet.
-
Many minor code changes, allowing e32 to compile with
Microsoft C compiler (32-bit).
Crashes on startup for now.
Needs a new FFI.
-
ChDir(dir) now supports "~\".
-
Following added to the help:
GetDirSeparator(),
GetTempPath(),
isDirSeparator(s),
StripToken(s, delim, relax),
StripFileToken(s).
-
_HOME_PATH_ usage added to SqueezePath().
-
Fixed: Title "History" disappearing from a history list
when its content contains a line that is more than a few
characters longer than the screen width.
(Thanks to this fix,
HistList
will work again.)
-
There is a new file in the .zip, dock.txt,
which is a raw-text version of the help
before it gets put into its final form.
It might be useful, it might not, feel free to ignore it.

LoadMacro() and LoadKeyMacro() - without parameters -
should also search the current directory.
-
The compile macro can now understand GNU Fortran error
messages.

Fix two bugs in strfind():
-
1: strfind() can cause an unloaded file to be loaded.
-
2: strfind() with the "b" (backwards) option does not
work in all cases.
-
strfind() "b" bug test added to sanity1.
-
The List() and lList() titles now should mostly show
the [x].

No longer goes one line down after selecting a color scheme.
-
In the Color Schemes list, default sets the current line to
the current color scheme (if TSE's current colors match a
color scheme).
-
If no matching color scheme exists, then creates and goes to
an empty line at the top.
-
Changed .doc files extension to .txt.
-
If _USE_LAST_SESSION_* is set, sc32 will try to also create
tsecfg.dat, as if the "-s" command line option was also
specified.

CopyToClipboard(string s [, integer append])
Copies "s" to the editor's clipboard
-
string GetStrFromClipboard()
Returns the first line of text in the editors clipboard.
-
Too many files passed on the editor's command line can make the
editor crash with a segmentation fault.
The number of files that can be passed on the command line has
been greatly extended.
-
Mouse initialization now returns TRUE.
This inner technical change does not make Linux TSE
recognize any physical mouse button,
but it does for example almost always make the following
work from macros:
Set(MouseX, 20)
Set(MouseY, 10)
PushKey(<LeftBtn>)

New Linux-only TSE statements FFisDir() and PBisDir().
Added to Potpourri: "Execute" tool.
Very handy. Please see the Potpourri help regarding usage.
Bug fix: GetHistoryStr() after Find() invalidated a following MarkFoundText().
Added Soarer's Converter's syntax highlighting files. This should be
associated with .sc and .sci files.
Updated Whtspc macro.
Cursor placement with CenterFinds off was broken!

Release notes:
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.

e "-a -s c:\name.ext" can cause TSE to crash. Fixed.
Macro runtime error .
Caused by an expression such as:

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_.

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. ]

TSE's clipboard menu does not gray out pasting from the
Windows clipboard, but if you select it, then you get a

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.

Linux TSE 4.48 - 29 Nov 2022
tse-linux-4.48.tgz
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.
-
The Linux version did not correctly handle filenames with
multiple embedded dots, as in: "foo...bar".
