Changes: https://craigbarnes.gitlab.io/dte/releases.html#v1.11

Changes: https://craigbarnes.gitlab.io/dte/releases.html#v1.10

Changes:

• Fixed make check when running from a release tarball.

Note: v1.9.1 was released (i.e. git tagged and added to the changelog) on 2019-09-29, but wasn't added to the GitHub releases page until 2019-12-12.

Additions:

• Added a new pipe-to command, to complement the existing pipe-from and filter commands.
• Added a new show command, which can be used to introspect the current values of aliases and bindings.
• Added a -k flag to the copy command, to allow keeping the current selection after copying.
• Added a man page entry for the (previously undocumented) eval command.
• Added new $FILETYPE and $LINENO special variables.
• Added a display-invisible global option, to allow visible rendering of otherwise invisible Unicode characters.
• Added an -s command-line flag, for validating custom syntax files.
• Added a compile-time ICONV_DISABLE=1 option, which disables linking to the system iconv library (but makes the editor UTF-8 only).
• Added a Desktop Entry file, which can be installed using make install-desktop-file.

Improvements:

• Updated Unicode support to version 12.1.
• Modified the errorfmt command, to allow sub-match groups in the regexp pattern to be ignored.
• Various improvements to syntax highlighting and filetype detection.
• Various performance optimizations.

Fixes:

• Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause files to be saved as UTF-8, even if another encoding was specified.

Changes:

• Fixed makefile to work with GNU Make 3.81 (which is still used by OS X and Ubuntu 14.04).

Fixes:

• Fixed parsing of escaped special characters in command arguments (which was causing Lua syntax highlighting to fail).
• Removed use of rep (repeat character) control sequence, due to problems caused by certain terminal emulators that claim to be "xterm" but don't support the full set of features in the xterm terminfo entry (notably, the FreeBSD 12 console).

Additions:

• Show a confirmation prompt if Ctrl+q (quit) is pressed with unsaved changes, instead of a cryptic error message.

Additions:

• Added support for 24-bit RGB terminal colors.
• Added support for strikethrough terminal attribute.
• Added support for alias names containing multi-byte Unicode characters.
• Added refresh command (to force a full screen redraw).
• Added dte -K command-line option (for keycode debugging).
• Added support for reading a buffer from stdin at startup.
• Added support for binding Ctrl/Alt/Shift + F1-F12 on xterm-like terminals.
• Added -s flag to bol command, to allow moving to beginning of indented text, before moving to beginning of line (a.k.a "smart home").
• Added -c flag to all cursor movement commands, to allow selecting characters while moving.
• Added -l flag to up, down, pgup and pgdown commands, to allow selecting whole lines while moving.
• Added default bindings for various Shift+key combinations, for doing GUI-style text selections.
• Added key bindings to command mode for deleting/erasing whole words (Alt+Delete and Alt+Backspace).

Improvements:

• Optimized built-in filetype detection.
• Fixed cursor interaction with Unicode combining characters.
• Improved handling of Unicode whitespace and unprintable characters.
• Updated character class lookup tables to Unicode 11.
• Expanded documentation for hi and compile commands.
• Optimized code to reduce editor startup and input latency.

Breaking changes:

• Changed the bind command to be much more strict when parsing key strings and show an error message when invalid. The caret (^) modifier can now only be used alone (not in combination with other modifiers) and the C-, M- and S- modifiers must be uppercase.
• Removed support for chained key bindings (e.g. bind '^X c' ...). Commands that aren't bound to simple key combinations can just be accessed via command mode.
• Removed support for recognizing some Ctrl/Alt/Shift key combinations produced by the rxvt terminal emulator. The key codes produced by rxvt violate the ECMA-48 specification. Users of such terminals are encouraged to configure the key codes to mimic xterm instead.

Changes:

• Added support for opening multiple files using glob patterns (e.g. open -g *.[ch]).
• Added support for binding more xterm extended key combinations (Ctrl/Meta/Shift + PageUp/PageDown/Home/End).
• Improved compiler error parsing for newer versions of GCC.
• Improved handling of underline/dim/italic terminal attributes (including support for the ncv terminfo capability).
• Many other small bug fixes and code improvements.

Changes:

• Added new, default dark color scheme.
• Added Ctrl+G key binding to exit command mode.
• Added Ctrl+H key binding for erase command.
• Added syntax highlighting for TeX and roff (man page) files.
• Improved syntax highlighting of Python numeric literals.
• Improved syntax highlighting for CSS files.
• Added ft -b command for detecting file types from file basenames.
• Converted user documentation to Markdown format.
• Created new website for online documentation.
• Added support for terminfo extended (or "user-defined") capabilities.
• Added built-in support for st and rxvt terminals.
• Fixed some built-in regex patterns to avoid non-portable features.
• Fixed compiler warnings on NetBSD.
• Removed tilde expansion of ~username from command mode, in order to avoid using getpwnam(3) and thereby allow static linking with GNU libc on Linux.
