JEDIT 4.3 VERSION HISTORY

{{{ Version 4.3pre7

Thanks to Matthieu Casanova, Marcelo Vanzin, Nicholas O'Leary,
Marcin Orlowski, Martin Raspe, Kazutoshi Satoda, Alan Ezust,
and Björn "Vampire" Kautler for contributing to this release.

{{{ API Changes

  {{{ EditAction changes:

- Instances now inherit a protected Object[] args;
  Added a convenience function invoke(View view, Object[] newArgs) which
  sets args and calls invoke(view). Sf.net feature request # 1548301.

- Made getCode() concrete (before it was abstract) and added
  a sensible implementation so that people extending from it
  are no longer required to write a function that returns beanshell code
  as long as they override the invoke(View) method with valid Java code.
  (Alan Ezust)

- Made getLabel() non-final, so that people can override it and make
  more interesting EditActions. If args is set, getLabel() uses them
  for the label. (Alan Ezust)

  }}}
  {{{ GUIUtilities changes:

- Added GUIUtilities.loadMenuItem(EditAction, boolean) - calls
  EditAction.getLabel() to get the label instead of getting properties
  directly (Alan Ezust)

- GUIUtilities.addSizeSaver(Frame parent, String name) changed to
  GUIUtilities.addSizeSaver(Frame frame, Container parent, String name)
  and refactored to use saveGeometry(). Saves/restores
  sizes relative to a parent container. if parent==null, behaves
  as before. (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

  }}}
  {{{ PluginJAR changes

- jEdit.getPlugin(className, bool) now will search for and
  load plugins that were not yet loaded, given a className to search
  for. (Alan Ezust)

- added PluginJAR.findPlugin() which is used by the above method (Alan Ezust).

- added PluginJAR.load(), formerly a private method moved
  from the ManagePanel class. Also moved transitiveClosure() into
  the PluginJAR class. General refactoring to make the
  plugin management code more centrally located. (Alan Ezust)

  }}}

- added new class org.gjt.sp.jedit.bufferio.MarkersSaveRequest; fixed 1527419:
  Setting or deleting markers does not dirty buffer anymore. Handling of 
  the markers file is now factored out from BufferSaveRequest.
  (Martin Raspe)

- added new class org.gjt.sp.jedit.io.VFSFileFilter; an interface that
  defines a filter used by the VFS browser. (Marcelo Vanzin)

- added SearchMatcher.isMatchingEOL(); indicates whether the matched
  region ends at an EOL character. Part of bug fix for SF Bug #1541009.
  (Marcelo Vanzin)

- added new class org.gjt.sp.jedit.io.VFSFileFilter; an interface that
  defines a filter used by the VFS browser. (Marcelo Vanzin)

- added VFSBrowser.addVFSFileFilter() and VFSBrowser.getVFSFileFilter().
  Deprecated VFSBrowser.getFilenameFilter(). (Marcelo Vanzin)

- added VFS._listDirectory(Object,String,VFSFileFilter,boolean,Component,boolean,boolean)
  (Marcelo Vanzin)

- moved MiscUtilities.globToRE() to StandardUtilities. (Marcelo Vanzin)

- added org.gjt.sp.util.PropertiesBean. See javadoc for details.
  (Marcelo Vanzin)

- added JEditTextArea.collapseFold(int line) to collapse the fold at the
  given line (Matthieu Casanova)

- New method KillRing.setInstance() that allow you to replace the default KillRing.
  jEdit now uses a custom KillRing : JEditKillRing. The only difference is that it
  can save itself to the disk (Matthieu Casanova)
}}}
{{{ Syntax Highlighting

- Interlis mode updated to version 2.3 (patch # 1464779)

- Progress mode supports nested comments (patch# 1211534)

- New edit mode: Pilrc *rcp mode by Marcin Orlowski (#1519983)

- Perl.xml mode fixes: (#1549412, #1020484), infinite loops in regexp, 
  transliteration and hash highlighting, added several new features

}}}
{{{ Bug Fixes

- JEditTextArea now supports Java Input Methods. See
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/imf/index.html
    (#735962, #1555403) (Kazutoshi Satoda)

- Plugin Manager: fixed some bugs about broken or missing behaviour
  + toggle behaviour of spacebar (bug #1538700)
  + closing behaviour of enter if in list (bug #1538695)
  + disposing behaviour of ESC (bug #1538693)
  + broken/weird focus behaviour (bug #1538692)
  + now keeps selection if you cancel the installation or an I/O-Error
    occures while installing or updating (bug #1538689)
  + selection and checked state of plugins is now remembered if going to
    other tabpanes or to the settings (feature request #974759)
  + Install and Update Panels support now multiple selections too
  (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Plugin Manager: Automatically loads unloaded dependent plugins.
    (#1538702) (Alan Ezust)

- File System Browser now recognizes Backspace, DEL and F2 to
  go to parent dir, delete and rename files respectively.
  The "path:" textarea accepts environment variables and expands them too.
  (1542365) (Alan Ezust)

- SplashScreen is now in the middle of the screen, instead of between
  2 screens (Alan Ezust)

- GuiUtilities.load/save geometry now saves x and y coordinates
  relative to the parent component. Changed core to make dialogs
  and floating dockables pop up in a place relative to the parent
  view.  (#1292706) (Alan Ezust)

- Memory dialog reports wrong values (#1538051) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Shortcut sorting was broken (#1538452) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Actions to-lower and to-upper now selects the word at caret if
  there is no selection (#1538720) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Quicklist of dockables windows is now sorted (#1538728)
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- Updated text in Search dialog to reflect reality (#1542029)
  (Nicholas O'Leary)

- SF Bug #1541009: 4.3pre6 regexp find: hangs + huge memory waste
  "$" matches right before the end of line; so we need to adjust the end
  of the matched region when that is used. To do this and still maintain
  the expected replace behavior, a new method was added to
  SearchMatcher, and users of that class should adjust the offsets of
  subsequent searches when an EOL is matched. (Marcelo Vanzin)

- Formatting an empty paragraph do not throw a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
  anymore (#1548902) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Clearing a register is now persistent (#1541821) (Matthieu Casanova)

- When collapsing a fold, if the caret is inside, it
  is moved to the first line of the fold (#1541372) (Matthieu Casanova)

- action collapse-fold now works fine even if the caret is not on the
  first line of the fold (#1538712) (Matthieu Casanova)

- When saving a readonly buffer it will ask you if you want a two stage save.
  If you say no it will not display any error dialog anymore.
  (#1549282) (Matthieu Casanova)

- ArrayOutOfBoundException fixed in VFS browser when choosing to delete, rename
  or browse in right click popupmenu when no file are selected
  (#1565286) (Matthieu Casanova)

}}}
{{{ Miscellaneous

- VFS browser is now able to sort files by double-clicking on column headers.
  Files can be sorted by name, size and last modification date. Clicking again on 
  the same column header will reverse the sort order (#1442812) (Martin Raspe)

- VFS browser is not restricted to the built-in "glob" filter anymore.
  Plugins can register new filters to be used by the browser by
  implementing the "VFSFileFilter" interface and providing a service
  entry in service.xml, or by directly calling
  VFSBrowser.addVFSFileFilter(). (Marcelo Vanzin)

- Updated FAQ for jEdit 4.3 (ezust)

- Save and Backup Option Panel : the backup directory has now a button to browse using
  VFS file browser (#1540730) (Matthieu Casanova)


- The PluginManager options do not allow anymore to ask for a mirror list update
  twice (Matthieu Casanova)

- The mirror list of the plugin manager is now stored in a file : mirrorList.xml
  and read from here where you open the option panel. The Update mirror list button
  will refresh it from the web. 
  (Matthieu Casanova)

{{{ Version 4.3pre6

Thanks to Björn "Vampire" Kautler, Alan Ezust,
Matthieu Casanova, Nicholas O'Leary, Ollie Rutherfurd, and
Marcelo Vanzin for contributing to this release.

{{{ API Changes
- MiscUtilities.getEncodings(boolean getSelected) added
  to get only the user-chosen encodings, e. g. in encoding dialogs.
  getEncodings() is deprecated in favor of getEncodings(false).
  (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- DockableWindowManager.closeListener(String dockableName) - a new
  convenience method for creating keyboard listeners for floating
  dockables to respond to the "close-current-area" action. (Alan Ezust)

- GUIUtilities.addSizeSaver(Frame frame, String name) added to
  save a Frames size and position correctly, even if it gets
  maximized.  (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- EditPane.setBuffer(final Buffer buffer, boolean requestFocus) that allow
  to set a buffer without requesting the focus (default is to request focus)
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- BufferHistory.clear() to clear the recent file list
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- MiscUtilities.stringCompare() and MiscUtilities.CompareString are moved to
  StandardUtilities (Matthieu Casanova)

- Added XMLUtilities class for XML-related utility methods. Move some
  methods from MiscUtilities to this class, and deprecate the old ones.
  (Marcelo Vanzin)

- Moved MiscUtilities.objectsEqual() method to StandardUtilities()
  (Matthieu Casanova)


}}}
{{{ Miscellaneous

- Ability to clear the Recent Files List from menu (Matthieu Casanova)

- Beanshell 2.0b4 bundled (Matthieu Casanova)

- Added an OptionPane "Encodings" to select which encodings to
  show in encoding dialogs.  (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Improved DockableWindowManager.closeCurrentArea() - closes more
  docked dockables than it did before. (Alan Ezust)

- Fixed the storing of Frame size and position
  if the Frame gets maximized. (bug #1325358)
  (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- Fixed VFS.copy() method when the returned session is null
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- When adding explicit folds, and using a line comment for the end line,
  insert a line break after the fold end if the line is not empty,
  avoiding commenting out existing code. (Marcelo Vanzin)

- Added option to not print collapsed folds. (Nicholas O'Leary)

- Added paste and clear buttons to the Registers dockable.
  (Nicholas O'Leary)

- The behavior of JARClassLoader now is different than in previous
  versions of jEdit. JARClassLoader will now delegate class loading
  to the parent class loader before looking in its cache. This means
  that, by default, plugins can't override classes in the JVM's
  boot classpath. The behavior is configurable on a per-plugin
  basis (see javadoc for details). This fixes SF Bug #1509218.
  (Marcelo Vanzin)

- SF Bug #1527824: Perl Syntax Highlighting hangs 4.3pre6
  More activity on my favorite edit mode. :-)
  The [^\p{Alpha}\p{Space}] rule at the start of Perl's "y/.../" syntax
  was not entirely correct; some other characters, mainly operators like
  +, -, etc, and also underscore, are not allowed either. But since the
  regexp was still trying to be matched against such strings, it would
  have two effects: a very long pause (the "hang"), and strings like
  "y_something_something" being highlighted incorrectly. By adding a few
  extra characters to that exclusion, things seem to be much better.
  (Marcelo Vanzin)

}}}
{{{ Bug Fixes

- (jedit-Bugs-1518537) FSB keyboard handling bugs fixed.
  Arrow keys, backspace, and return all do sensible things
  from the table as well as the list view. (Ezust)

- (jedit-bugs 1533925) Alpha-numerics are no longer being "passed through"
  from the FSB to the editpane.  (Alan Ezust)

- When multiple views are open, closing a buffer will not change the active view
  (Bug #1518400) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Fixed Untitled buffer added to the Recent file list (Bug #1518620)
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- MiscUtilities.canonPath() now trim redundant / and \ at the end of the path
  of Dos derived OS (bug that can be seen when typing some / in the end of the
  path field of VFS browser) (Matthieu Casanova)

- SF bug 1526487: ArrayOutOfBoundException in VFS Browser. (Matthieu Casanova)

- SF bug 1519237: Regular Expression Search in 4.3pre5
  regexp search should be done with Pattern.MULTILINE enabled, otherwise
  ^ and $ will only match the start and end of the buffer. (Marcelo Vanzin)

- SF bug 1517395: Wrong character encoding in killring.xml
  fix bug in Java 1.5 by saving ASCII control characters as character
  entities; since 1.4 doesn't support XML 1.1, if killring.xml has
  character entities it will fail (so the bug will still be there
  when running on 1.4). (Marcelo Vanzin)

- SF bug 1523261: "Regular expression " and "Ignore case"
  There was a stray "flags" variable in PatternSearchMatcher.nextMatch()
  that was clobbering the instance variable with the same name (that
  actually contained the needed flags for the compiled pattern).
  (Marcelo Vanzin)

- SF bug 1523117: Add explicit fold in PHP mode inserts wrong comments
  The "DEF_CLASS" rule set in the php mode file didn't have any line
  or range comments declared in the props section; so the code was now
  picking up the porperties for the default rule set, which had the
  HTML-style range comment instead of the PHP line comment. This is
  probably due to the XML parser change - the old code was probably
  propagating some property of another rule set to the DEF_CLASS rule
  set, since it used global variables for a bunch of things. So this
  might show up in other places, and might need a better fix...
  (Marcelo Vanzin)

- SF bug 1524032: Line number not highlighted when the line is selected
  (Nicholas O'Leary)

- SF bug 1524155: replace all within selection doesn't give feedback
  (Nicholas O'Leary)

- SF bug 1524191: s() method from startup.bsh doesn't work
  (Nicholas O'Leary)

- SF bug 1516994: Fixed infinite recursion possibility
   in ManagePanel.java when unloading certain plugins
   with circular dependencies due to services. (Alan Ezust)

- No exception thrown when adding an explicit fold to a read only buffer.
  (#1549282) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Deep indent fixed when using tabs (Matthieu Casanova)

{{{ Version 4.3pre5

Thanks to Alan Ezust, Jeffrey Hoyt, Daniel Hahler, Dale Anson,
Björn "Vampire" Kautler, Matthieu Casanova, Xuân Baldauf,
Nicholas O'Leary and Marcelo Vanzin for contributing to this release.

{{{ Reinstall required
- Gnu.regexp is no longer used by jEdit, in favor of java.util.regex
  Since the regexp removal has also affected the modes handling and thus
  the files in the "modes" directory, just updating "jedit.jar" of an
  existing jEdit installation does not suffice. You would get weird
  errors in this case. Thus, a full reinstall is required.
}}}
{{{ Keyboard handling changes
- There is a new option, "simplified keyboard handling"
  under "general options" to switch between two keyboard handling modes.
  Keyboard event workaround handling has been substantially changed (as
  a fix to bug 1488047). This may greatly affect the way your keys work.
  Please report any bugs regarding this (and please drop a note about
  this bug in bug 1488047).
  (Xuân Baldauf).
}}}
{{{ API Changes

- DockableWindowManager has a new method, setDockableTitle()
  which allows you to set the string in the title bar
  for floating dockables. Now docked buttons use the dockableName.label
  property instead of the .title. This way, we can have have long titles
  in the floater, and short strings on the dock button. (Alan Ezust)

- Macros.Macro.invoke() has been rewritten to begin the compoundEdit on the buffer that is
  active buffer before the macro gets invoked, and end the compoundEdit on the buffer that is active
  after the macro is invoked opposed to end the compoundEdit on the buffer it was started on.
  JEditTextArea.setBuffer() has been rewritten to end a compoundEdit on the old buffer and start
  a new compoundEdit on the new buffer if there were a compoundEdit in progress.
  (bug #1469996).   (Björn "Vampire" Kautler )

- New class: org.gjt.sp.jedit.msg.CaretChanging, for alerting
  other plugins that the caret position is about to change.
  This allows Navigator to be alerted of sidekick selections. (Alan
  Ezust)

- MiscUtilities.isBinaryFile() method that will check if a file is binary or not (Matthieu Casanova)

- MiscUtilities.autodetect() this method tries to autodetect the file encoding. It was moved
  from BufferIORequest (Matthieu Casanova)

- New utility class : IOUtilities that will contains static IO methods that
  depends only on JDK. (Matthieu Casanova)

- New utility class : StandardUtilities that will contains static
  methods that depends only on JDK (Matthieu Casanova)

- jEditBuffer.getRegexProperty() has been removed;
  jEditBuffer.getPatternProperty() was added to replace it.
  (Marcelo Vanzin)

- MiscUtilities.quickSort() methods and MiscUtilities.Compare class are now deprecated
	use Arrays.sort() and Collections.sort() (Matthieu Casanova)

- MiscUtilities.parseXML() and MiscUtilities.findEntity() were added.
  They're mainly used internally to ease XML parsing, but can safely
  be used by other people. Please refer to the javadoc documentation
  about how these methods operate. (Marcelo Vanzin)

- org.gjt.sp.jedit.search.RESearchMatcher has been removed as part
  of the gnu.regexp removal; it didn't make sense to write extra
  code to keep that class working. (Marcelo Vanzin)

- due to the change to support java.util.regex, the signature for
  org.gjt.sp.jedit.search.SearchMatcher.nextMatch() has changed.
  This means that any plugin that uses SearchMatcher or one of its
  implementations directly will break. (Marcelo Vanzin)

- Added Log.log(urgency, source, message, exception). (Xuân Baldauf)

}}}
{{{ Miscellaneous
- SearchReplace dialog now supports additional options,
  for Directory Search: "skipHidden" and "skipBinary".
  Now you can skip over hidden directories/files, as well
  as binary files. (Matthieu Casanova & Alan Ezust)

- Updated Ruby Edit-mode to v0.6.2
  The Ruby-Mode now highlights numbers correctly (bug #1489847). (Björn "Vampire" Kautler)

- The "Recent files" menu can now be reaches with the keystroke sequence
  "Alt+F F" (bug 1488066) (Xuân Baldauf)

- The "Recent files" menu displays pathname information in the status
  line now also in cases the keyboard is used to choose menu items
  (bug 1488060) (Xuân Baldauf)

- Drag&Drop now accepts multiple files in KDE environment. (bug 1487647)
  (Xuân Baldauf)

- Mode_Switcher macro fixed to stop InvocationTargetException
  (Nicholas O'Leary)

- Add explicit fold when start and end of selection are in different edit mode
  (bug #1159659) (Matthieu Casanova)

- Caret position of previously edited files is restored on startup (bug # 1486706)
  (Dale Anson)

- When saving a file with .gz extension the buffer is gzipped (it was not working when using two stage save.)
  It also remove GZIPPED property if the buffer name was ending with .gz and is not anymore
  (Matthieu Casanova)

- All classes using the gnu.regexp packages have been changed to use
  java.util.regexp. This needed some refactoring of a few components
  inside the syntax highlighting and search subsystems. This means
  that mode files using regexps and searches now should use the
  java.util.regex syntax instead of the old syntax.
  (Marcelo Vanzin)

- All classes using the com.microstar.xml packages have been changed to
  use JAXP to parse XML. Which means that some classes have different
  base classes now, but I don't expect anyone to be inheriting from any
  of those. Also, this means that XML parsing will be a little bit more
  "correct" now, in the sense that it will check the files against their
  DTDs (this needed some changes to the DTDs shipped with jEdit since
  some of them had errors). (Marcelo Vanzin)

- The build.xml got rebuilt to allow building the MacOS-Plugin on any platform
  and to make it easier to build the distribution files (DEB, Java-Installer,
  Mac OS X DMG, TGZ Slackware Package, Windows-Installer, SRC-package, PDF-Manuals).

		(Alan ezust)

- Selecting multiple directories in the file chooser dialog box is now
  supported; just pass true as the last parameter (Matthieu Casanova):

  GUIUtilities.showVFSFileDialog(view,null,
    VFSBrowser.CHOOSE_DIRECTORY_DIALOG,true)

- Now that the text area is independent of the rest of jEdit, various
  text area-related APIs that used to take org.gjt.sp.jedit.Buffer
  instances now take org.gjt.sp.jedit.buffer.JEditBuffers:

  - BufferChangeListener and BufferChangeAdapter are now deprecated. Use
    BufferListener instead.

  - FoldHandler.getFoldLevel() now takes a JEditBuffer as a parameter.

  - VFS.copy() methods added (Matthieu Casanova).

  - MiscUtilities.copyStream() and MiscUtilities.closeQuietly() methods
    added (Matthieu Casanova).

{{{ Version 4.3pre2

Thanks to Bertalan Fodor, Dirk Moebius. Jarek Tuszynski, Joshua Gertzen,
Nicholas O'Leary, and Simon Ruggier for contributing to this release.

{{{ Auto Indent

- The auto indent engine has been rewritten from scratch to provide
  more accurate indentation for a variety of languages, including Java,
  Common Lisp, and Factor.

- Aligned bracket indent is done as before with "indentOpenBrackets" and
  "indentCloseBrackets" properties. Unaligned indent was previously
  enabled by setting "lineUpClosingBrackets" to "false". Now, you must
  specify "unalignedOpenBrackets" and "unalignedCloseBrackets"
  properties.

  The upside is that both aligned and unaligned indent can be used in
  the same edit mode. For example, in Java source, the following piece
  of code is indented correctly:

  public void apply(Buffer buffer, int thisLineIndex,
          int prevLineIndex, int prevPrevLineIndex,
          List indentActions)
  {
          // ...
  }

- The new "unindentThisLine" property, whose value is a regexp, allows
  indentation of Java switch/case constructs:

  switch(foo) {
  case bar:
          hello();
  default:
          yo();
  }

- In order to immediately re-indent the line as soon as the case or
  default statement is terminated with a :, the "electricKeys" property
  is set to a list of characters whose input triggers a re-indent of the
  current line.

- The new "unindentNextLines" property, whose value is a regexp,  allows
  indentation of Factor colon definitions -- in particular, after the ;
  everything must be unindented:

  : refers? ( to obj -- ? )
      f swap [ pick eq? or ] each-slot nip ;
  ! Indent returns here

{{{ Syntax Highlighting

- Updated LilyPond syntax highlighting (Bertalan Fodor).

- Rd syntax highlighting (Jarek Tuszynski).

- Updated ASP syntax highlighting (Simon Ruggier).

- Slate (http://slate.tunes.org) syntax highlighting.

}}}
{{{ File System Browser

- The file system now lazily retreives file system attributes. For
  plugins that use the VFS API, this has important implications; see
  the below "API Changes" section. (Joshua Gertzen).

- Previously, file system browser columns would resize to fit all the
  attributes of all visible files. Now, this is not possible, so instead
  columns can be resized manually and their size is preserved.

}}}
{{{ Miscellaneous

- When an item from the "Paste Previous" or "Paste Deleted" dialog boxes
  is inserted, it is moved to the top of the list.

- Pasting now preserves the tall caret.

- New text areas viewing a buffer inherit the fold visibility map from a
  previous text area.

- The right-click popup for HyperSearch results nodes has three new
  entries:

  - Open
  - Open in New View
  - Open in New Plain View
  - Open in New Split

- On Mac OS X, the close box is shown with a different appearance if a
  visible buffer has unsaved changes.

- Dropping text into the text area now selects it (Nicholas O'Leary).

- The cursor is hidden when you start typing.

- Renamed 'Delete Line' to 'Delete Lines'; now does the right thing if
  more than one line is selected. Same for 'Join Lines' versus
  'Join Line'.

- When the search bar loses focus, the currently entered text is added
  to the history.

- "Format Paragraph" now preserves the caret position.

}}}
{{{ Bug Fixes

- Fix NullPointerException in file system roots list.

- Search and replace dialog's "Search subdirectories" checkbox did not
  have an Alt-key mnemonic.

- Binding actions to numeric keypad keys should now work better.

- Pressing something like A+f l where A+f was a prefix but A+f l was
  not bound would insert l into the buffer, which was undesirable.

- The plugin manager did not select a plugin's dependencies when the
  plugin was selected for installation.

- Invoking 'Expand Fold' when the fold is expanded would move the caret
  to the wrong place.

- Changing the wrap mode didn't update screen line counts, causing
  various problems.

- The custom history text field border with the popup widget is back.

- Fixed a memory leak. Token markers were retaining the line segment
  they were given to tokenize -- in some cases, this line segment could
  hang around for a while, and was huge.

- Fix performance regression when deleting text; too many lines were
  being repainted.

- 'Cut Append' and 'Copy Append' commands did not update the Registers
  dockable.

- Fix Control key on Mac OS X.

- Changing the font size did not update the vertical scrollbar.

- JSwat plugin did not work when running under Java 5 due to a bug in
  jEdit's JARClassLoader (Dirk Moebius).

- Fix some problems with paths that end with multiple file separators.

- Inserting a long line of text did not always scroll horizontally as
  required.

- Split panes now have resize weight, ensuring more intuitive behavior
  when a split view is resized.

- If autosave kicked in while the 'Close All Buffers' dialog was open,
  then the perspective would be saved, and the wrong buffer would be
  restored on the next startup.

- Fix an exception from being shown when loading a file with a malformed
  .marks file.

- Fix possible ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when deleting text after
  decreasing the number of history elements.

- Double clicking the middle mouse button now pastes twice, instead of
  pasting and selecting a word.

}}}
{{{ API Changes

- View.updateTitle() is now public.

- VFS.DirectoryEntry has been deprecated because its interface is not
  conductive to lazy initialization. Virtual file systems should now
  return instances of org.gjt.sp.jedit.io.VFSFile, and instead of
  reading/writing the public fields of that class (they are public but
  deprecated for VFS.DirectoryEntry compatibility), you should call the
  accessor/mutator methods.

- A new MiscUtilities.pathsEqual() method has been added to check for
  equality of path names while ignoring case sensitivity on Windows.

{{{ Version 4.3pre1

Thanks to Cameron Morrison, Igor Lesik, Jim Lawton, Marcelo Vanzin,
Nicholas O'Leary and Trevor Harmon for contributing to this release.

{{{ Search and Replace

- When invoking "Find", "Incremental Search for Word" or "HyperSearch
  for Word" actions, if regular expression search is on, any special
  characters in the selection are automatically escaped.

- Find dialog box now has fields that accept multi-line input. Pressing
  ENTER activates the "Find" button; press C+ENTER to insert lines in
  the field.

- Variables such as "view", "buffer" and "textArea" can now be used from
  BeanShell replace expressions.

}}}
{{{ Syntax Highlighting

- Literate Haskell syntax highlighting (Cameron Morrison).

- Updated D syntax highlighting (Jim Lawton).

- Forth syntax highlighting.

- Motorola 68000 assembler syntax highlighting (Igor Lesik).

}}}
{{{ Scripting

- Macros written in the UTF-8Y and UTF-16 encodings are auto-detected.

- Added Macros->Repeat Last Macro command. This used to be in 4.1, but
  got removed in 4.2, and now its back due to popular demand.

}}}
{{{ Miscellaneous

- jEdit no longer runs with Java 2 version 1.3. Java 2 version 1.4 or
  1.5 is now required.

- If the wrap margin is set to 0 and soft wrap is enabled, wrapping is
  now performed at the text area width. This used to be in 4.1, but
  got removed in 4.2, and now its back due to popular demand.

- Rename Autosave & Backup option pane to Save & Backup, move some
  options from General pane there (Marcelo Vanzin).

- Added Ant target for building a MacOS X .app package (Trevor Harmon).

- Added Register and Marker dockables (Nicholas O'Leary).

- "Rectangular Selection" command now changes the state of the current
  selection to match the flag.

- "Select All" preserves current scroll position.

- When closing jEdit, open buffers are not added to the "Recent Files"
  list if the "Restore previously open files on startup" option is on.

- View.goToBuffer() will try to find a non-zero height text area if
  possible.

- Pressing TAB now preserves the tall caret, if there is one.

- When a directory is reloaded, it is no longer moved to the top of the
  file system browser's history list.

- Added View->Splitting->Restore Split action -- it recreates a
  split pane configuration as it was before the most recent 'Unsplit'.

}}}
{{{ Bug Fixes

- "Backup directory" feature now works if the file being edited is on a
  different filesystem than the backup directory (Marcelo Vanzin).

- Don't use two-stage save if the file's parent directory is not
  writeable (Marcelo Vanzin).

- Minor fix for handling of the recent buffer when the current buffer
  was closed.

- Fix StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when opening files with a
  malformed XML PI.

- Removing open files from the favorites list didn't work.

- calling readNextChar() no longer clears the status bar after the
  script returns.

- Fix potential ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when indenting lines
  containing unmatched brackets.

- The "deselecting this plugin will deselect dependencies" message did
  not give the actual list of dependencies.

- Fixed NullPointerException when selecting QuickNotepad menu items
  before opening QuickNotepad first.

- Register persistence was broken and didn't work in many cases.

}}}
{{{ API Changes

- New org.gjt.sp.jedit.gui.HistoryTextArea class can be used by
