Highlights

🎁 Ligature support (#503, #554, #559)

Precompiled jars are available in Maven Central (com.fifesoft:rsyntaxtextarea:3.4.1). This is primarily a bugfix release, but includes some API improvements to facilitate custom rendering.

Highlights

🎁 Customizable Token Painting (#534, #106)

Token painting can now be programmatically customized. A primary use case here is overriding how whitespace tokens are rendered, from the default in VisibleWhitespaceTokenPainter. A rather unattractive example:

Error strip painting is now also programmatically customizable. Another unattractive example:

3.3.2

Precompiled jars are available on SourceForge and Maven (com.fifesoft:rsyntaxtextarea:3.3.2). This release is a bugfix release. All clients should upgrade to 3.3.2 as 3.3.1 was horribly broken (a bug was introduced that caused inserting newlines to corrupt the editor content in many situations).

Notable Changes

• Fix #484: InsertBreakAction completely broken when in the middle of a line in 3.3.1
• Fix #483: Umlauts and other diacritics cause wrong line wrap
• Fix #482 SearchEngine.replace() should set the wrap flag when appropriate

3.3.1

Precompiled jars are available on SourceForge and Maven (com.fifesoft:rsyntaxtextarea:3.3.1). This release adds a few cool new features, and also improves keyboard shortcuts on macOS.

Highlights

🎁 Handlebars syntax highlighting

Syntax highlighting has been added for Handlebars files (#419).

🎁 Improved highlighting of imported files for C and C++

Previously, includes were rendered differently for "string.h" style vs <system> style includes. They are now rendered in the same fashion (#461):

🎁 Smarter string support

When the opening quote of a string is typed, the closing quote is now also inserted. The editor smartly overtypes the closing quote when appropriate, and ignores escaped quotes appropriately. This feature can be disabled by calling setInsertPairedCharacters(false) (#473).

🎁 Smarter paren and bracket support

When typing a quote, paren, or bracket, if there is a selection, the selected text is enclosed in the expected opening and closing character. This is meant to quickly quote text, or put it in parenthesis. This feature can be disabled by calling setInsertPairedCharacters(false) (#466).

Notable Changes

• Fix #461: [Bug]: C/C++: Highlight the import files
• Fix #419: Handlebars syntax highlighting
• Fix #466: Auto wrap selected text in quotes and parens
• Fix #469: setClearWhitespaceLinesEnabled doesn't work if auto-indent is disabled
• Fix #473: Automatically insert closing quote for string literals in languages that support it
• Fix #475: Improved caret behavior on first and last lines
• Fix #476: macOS: Wrong shortcut for "delete previous word"
