This release adds a few important missing commands, closing the gap to DEC TECO.
Other DEC TECO-11 commands are still planned to be implemented in the near future.
When installing the Curses (sciteco-curses_*.deb) or Gtk+ (sciteco-gtk_*.deb) Ubuntu packages, keep in mind that you will also need the corresponding common (sciteco-common_*.deb) package. The Gtk+ binary is called gsciteco, so it can be installed alongside the Curses version. Packages may or may not work on other versions of Ubuntu or Debian variants. Releases have also been uploaded to the Ubuntu PPA.
For generic Linux builds, you can try the AppImages (sciteco-*.AppImage). Be sure to add the executable flag after downloading. The Gtk AppImage (sciteco-gtk_*.AppImage) assumes that Gtk+ 3 is already installed on the host system. Since the image's contents are not easily accessible, you are advised to download ~/.teco_ini and customize it afterwards.
The FreeBSD builds (sciteco-*_freebsd-14.2_amd64.pkg) are fully featured and behave very similar to the Ubuntu builds. However, you do not currently have to download a "common" package - the FreeBSD packages are self-sufficient.
Curses builds for Windows (sciteco-pdcurses_2.2.0_win32.zip) are based on PDCursesMod. The package contains both a console (sciteco.exe) and GDI window version (gsciteco.exe). The Windows Gtk+ version (sciteco-gtk3_2.2.0_win32.zip) is also shipped as a stand-alone ZIP and does not require installation.
The Mac OS X Curses build (sciteco-curses_2.2.0_macos_x86_64.pkg) is considered experimental and is not signed. See also Mac OS Support in the wiki. Gtk+ builds for Mac OS are not currently provided.
Here is the complete change log:
The following change log summarizes changes introduced
by SciTECO releases compared to the preceding release.
Only changes relevant to users (build from source or
using a prebuilt binary) are included.
Entries marked with "(!)" might break macro portability
compared to the preceding release.
Version 2.2.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3f6572c Fixed crashes when rubbing out file open (EB) with glob patterns, i.e.
when <EB> would open more than one file.
88d65fb Fixed potential stack overflows when pushing many values on the number stack
before breaking from loops with <;>.
a61a81e Disallow setting the radix to values lower than 2.
This fixes potential crashes.
bd87ff4 Implemented the ^Q command for converting between line and glyph positions.
:^Q returns the line number of a given absolute position or the current line.
(!)e5884ab Support the ::S anchored search (string comparison) command.
This also enables anchored string-deletion (::FD) and anchored search-replace
commands (::FR and ::FS).
More than two colon-modifiers or more than one at-modifier are now considered errors.
a93243b,
4830868 Implemented <@Xq> command for cutting into registers.
This modifies the Xq behavior by deleting the selected text afterwards.
3a823fb Implemented ^Y/^S commands for receiving pattern match/insertion ranges and lengths (refs #27).
E.g. you can store pattern matches into registers using ^YXq.
You can refer to ^E[...] subpatterns using n^Y (for n > 0).
Also, you can back up to the beginning of an inserting by adding ^SC immediately
after the insertion.
S...$^SC leaves dot before a matched pattern (if the search was successful).
8490013,
5597bc7 Fixed subtle operator precedence bug when combining higher and lower-precedence operators.
61b811f String building: ^c (caret+c) does no longer expand to data garbage for non-control characters,
but to the literal caret, followed by c.
For instance, I^,$ inserts two characters now.
23c90e3 Added special Q-Register ":" for accessing dot.
This allows the idiom [: ... ]: to temporarily move around.
Also, you can use the ^E\: string building construct to insert the current dot without
saving it into another Q-Register first.
8905a33 lexer.auto/lexer.checkheader: use case-sensitive searches.
Should reduce false positives when determining the lexer for an UNIX script.
(!)1cfe376 The search mode and current radix are mapped to __local__ Q-Registers ^X and ^R now. (refs #17)
This means that the radix is always 10 and searches are case-insensitive in ordinary macro calls
(Mq witout colon-modifier), i.e. you don't have to query and restore these properties in portable
macros to guard against changes in caller.
You can still write [.^X -^X ... ].^X to change the search mode flag temporarily, though.
07b52f7 implemented search mode flag (^X): allow case-sensitive searches (closes #17)
-^X enables search sensitive searches, while 0^X restores the default case insensitive searches.
11054d9 sciteco(7): fixed outdated information about the STYLE_CALLTIP default colors
726847b,
26e54b9,
9610dce,
52d66c5 minor documentation fixes
