CygnusEd 5 Update 2 released
« on: October 05, 2010, 09:28:25 AM »
Following a longer break in development work, the second update to CygnusEd Professional 5 has just become available.
The changes made concern user interface enhancements, the ARexx interface, and a number of bug fixes mainly related to macro handling and file operations.

The update is available for free to all CygnusEd Professional 5 users, and requires the original CD-ROM to be applied.

are all in the update-readme:

New features:

- CygnusEd and MetaMac show more informative I/O error messages if something
  went wrong when opening, creating, read or writing files. The
  message text includes the name of the file in question and the
  error description.

- If the CygnusEd text background colour matches the title bar background
  colour, the title bar text/background colours will be swapped to
  improve readability.

- Added a new ARexx command "ACTIVATE THIS CED" which works like
  the "ACTIVATE NEXT CED" command, except that it always activates
  the CygnusEd which the command was sent to.

- With the exception of 'only words' all the search options are
  now saved in the default configuration file. This means,
  among other things, that you can now permanently turn off the
  live search feature if you want to.

- CygnusEd now saves the 'only words' and 'forwards' search
  options in the configuration, too. The approximate width of the search
  window is saved, too.

- The "Find matching bracket" menu item ([Amiga]+h) now also supports
  searching for the single or double quote, and the gillemet (", ' or ยป)
  that's under the cursor. By default [Amiga]+h will search for the next
  following matching quote. Hold down any [Shift] key to have CygnusEd
  search in the opposite direction instead.


Bugs fixed:

- Auto-indentation no longer causes big problems if the current line
  consists of white space only.

- After saving a file to disk, CygnusEd now checks the modification
  time of that file and remembers it for later. Previously, it just
  remembered the time when the file was saved, which could be different
  from what the file system reports. This should fix irritations with
  CygnusEd reporting a file to have a different time stamp than what
  it remembered from the last time it was saved, which can happen if
  you save files to Samba/Windows network volumes. This also means
  that you can enable "safe saves" again without CygnusEd giving you
  wrong information on the last save state.

- If macro or ARexx files fail to load, the current macro settings will
  no longer get trashed. Also, all memory allocated during loading will
  be released. These fixes apply both to CygnusEd and MetaMac.

- Loading macros into memory which contain zero-length entries no longer
  leads to crashes. This fix applies both to CygnusEd and MetaMac.

- Any requester text is now properly redrawn if a window obscured
  it and is closed/dragged away.

Thank you :)

I feel, however, that I must apologize for taking so long to finish it. Much of the update was ready by 2008, but I got stuck along the way. There should have been more changes to this update than there are present right now. It is not exactly what it should have been in terms of new features.

@Olsen

Did you ever get syntax highlighting working on your tests ? Is this still planned ?

Cheers
