gnotepad+ changes from v1.1.4 to v1.2.0
New Features:
-
Source control commands, for interfacing with your favorite source control
program (e.g., RCS, SCCS, etc.). This idea was taken from the CRiSP Visual
Text Editor (http://www.crisp.com).
-
Expanded HTML editing capabilities. HTML tags supporting tables,
frames, forms, and much more.
-
An "advanced" HTML toolbar, where multiple HTML toolbars are provided/combined
into a single notebook.
-
Enhanced File Selection Dialog. Allows you to select multiple files,
a "reread dir" button, and more.
-
Internationalization support! Initial patch and Japanese translation
provided by to Yoichi Asai, Akihiro Sagawa, and Yasuhiro Shirasaki.
French translation by Mathieu Roy. Danish translation by Birger
Langkjer.
-
New preferences: tab stop, use fontsets, winlist and html view window geometries,
read buffer size.
-
Support for using the GtkHtml widget for viewing HTML.
-
For search & replace, allow replace with empty strings.
-
Use new pixmap from JcB, used for the minimized window icon.
Improvements:
-
When inserting HTML tags, if text is already highlighted/selected, then
put the HTML tag around the currently selected text.
-
When saving a file, if the file has no changes, then don't actually save
anything (e.g., write to disk). print a message in the message bar
indicating this.
-
When a directory is opened, the "File Info" button now shows "D" to indicate
the current document is a directory. Contrary to popular belief,
it really is OK to open a directory; it just doesn't make any sense to
edit one.
-
The configure script now checks for GTK even if GNOME's gnome-config is
found. The "sh: --version not found" message now goes away too.
-
Add HTML submenu for use with gtk+-1.0.x.
Fixes:
-
Semi-random crashing, especially when selecting "Save" from the preferences
dialog.
-
Don't open and read directories.
-
If no backup directory is specified, save the backup in the same directory
as the original file.
-
(Try to) preserve original ownership and permissions on original file after
making a backup.
-
A small memory leak when setting the main window's title.
-
Opening files on the command line didn't put the filename into the window's
title, but manually opening a file after starting gnotepad did.
-
When switching between documents, the position in the document is now preserved.
Previously, the position was lost when an unchanged file is unloaded from
memory.
-
When doing a "Replace All" from the beginning of the document using a case
insensitive search, it would repeatedly replace the same word over and
over again.
-
When saving preferences, manually print "(null)" if the data is NULL since
not all C libraries do this for you (e.g., printf() with a NULL string
fails on Solaris 5.6).
-
If there were unsaved files and the window was closed via the "delete"
event (e.g., clicking on the "X" in the upper right corner of the window
frame), selecting "Cancel" on the save dialog resulted in the window still
remaining hidden.
-
Crash when "Ok" button is hit on the source code control dialog.
-
Saving/restoring window sizes really works now (except if you are using
gtk+-1.0.x).
-
Small memory leaks.
-
Small autoconf fix to properly use default enabler values (Rene' Seindal).
-
Permissions problem with temp file when printing (Francois Darras).
-
Small fix for saving/restoring the locale (Alexey Vyskubov).
