CP Editor 7.0.1

on GitHub

7.0.1 (Beta)

In this version, we have switched to KSyntaxHighlighting, the same framework used by the Kate editor. This upgrade results in significantly improved syntax highlighting, a wider selection of color themes, and additional features like code folding. However, due to extensive refactoring, some bugs may arise.

We have also performed some cleanup, introducing several breaking changes. Most users will not be impacted. Only advanced users who depend on command-line options, setting file locations, etc., might experience disruptions. Additionally, if you are using v6.7 or an older version, you should first upgrade to v6.11 and then to v7.0 to prevent data loss.

Breaking Changes

• Legacy setting entries from v6.7 and earlier are no longer automatically migrated to the new ones. (#1308)
• The command line option --no-hot-exit is renamed to --no-restore-session. (#1308)
• The application name is changed from CP Editor to cpeditor. This affects the name of the config directory (the old config files are automatically migrated) and temporary directories, and also things like window class name in Xorg. The log files are also moved to a new location (from /tmp/cpeditorLogFiles to ~/.cache/cpeditor/log on Linux). (#1308)

Added

• Use KSyntaxHighlighting for code highlighting. (#1101)
• Add options to select error/warning messages colors for message logger. (#521 and #1247)

Fixed

• UNIX signal handler is now more robust. (#1166 and #1304)
• Now pressing Home goes to the first non-blank character. When lines are wrapped, now Home and End are based on text lines instead of visual lines. (#774 and #1310)
