The Hessling Editor v. 3.1 (13/8/2002) |
Readme/What's new |
Version 3.1 13-Aug-02
--- Bug fixes:
o Fix bug with QUERY ECOLOUR on Win32 platform.
o Entering a shifted character in response to FILLBOX command
on X11 port resulted in incorrect values being inserted.
o Fixed compilation errors on platforms that don't have KEY_MOUSE
in curses.h
o Fixed compile error on AIX when using REXX/6000.
o Fixed bug with SET MARGINS; second parameter did not allow '*'
to be specified.
o Fixed bug with ZONE command when only the first parameter was
supplied.
o Fixed small bug with identification of magic numbers in new
files when the first line was copied into the file.
o Changed limit on number of files that can be edited from 256 to
2,147,483,647
o Fixed bug with sorting a file with only 1 line.
o When two different files are displayed as a result of SCREEN
command, and COPY BLOCK (box block) is performed, block in
source window does not get reset. Now fixed.
o Changed HTML TLD comment terminator from "-->" to ">"
o Fixed bug introduced in 3.0; QUERY and EXTRACT would not recognise
abbreviated keywords. eg. QUERY ARB would fail and you needed to use
QUERY ARBCHAR.
o When editing a symbolic link, unless BACKUP INPLACE is ON, the
symbolic link was lost. This is now fixed.
o Display of pending prefix indicator in STATAREA now clear.
o Added workaround for bug in AIX curses, where the cursor would
move down one line when typing text into the last displayed column and
the screen autoscrolled.
o Fix for column position being calculated as a negative value on
some platforms, resulting in scrolling to the left beyond column 1.
o X11 port of THE more stable on startup (with PDCurses 2.5)
o Fix bug with changing file name, path or extension when run in
batch mode.
o Fix bug with resizing of THE window to a small number of columns;
still potential crashes if the window is resized to < 10 columns.
o Functions: focuseof() and focustof() returned the wrong value when on the
command line and the curos was last on a line other that 'top-of-file'
or 'bottom-of-file'.
o Fix error with wrong command being repeated (with REPEAT) command in
a macro.
o Minor changes to deregister dynamic functions like parser.1() so that
Object Rexx 2.2 on Linux does not leak shared memory and cause THE to
crash.
o Fix bug with syntax highlighting for LABELS.
o Comments delimiters defined in TLD files can now be specified as
case-insensitive.
o Fixed bug with GET CLIP: under Win32. Now doesn't crash after
multiple uses of GET CLIP:
o Use of ALT keyword on :function definitions in a TLD file did not
work.
o Remove limit on 20 directories in MACROPATH; now no effective limit.
o Fixed Rexx/Trans DLL on Win32 platforms that caused THE to not work
with Object Rexx on Win2K and XP.
o Allow CMATCH command to be executed from a batch command.
o Disallow CURSOR HOME from a batch command.
o Allow C-C, C-S and similar commands in OS/2 port (fix to PDCurses)
o Fix bug with SET TRAILING and empty file.
o Allow more flexible specification of hex and decimal strings in targets.
/ x'3e2d' / is now identified as a valid hex string target (with
HEX ON of course). Bug #531800
--- Changed commands or behaviour:
o Any ECOLOUR character can be used in the 'alternate' colour specifier
for 'keywords' in a TLD definition. Previously, only the 'alternate'
characters 1 through 9 were allowed.
o Added optional targets on EXTRACT PENDING command.
o Color on X11 port now behaves differently with PDCurses 2.5 and
above. "Bold" colors are now drawn in the same font, but in a
brighter color. This means that any monospaced font can be used;
there is no need to have an equivalent bold font.
o "Blink" color "modifiers" on X11 port now displays background in
bright color.
o Added extra color "modifier"; italic on X11 port. To display text in
italics, you must have a normal font and italic font of the same size.
o Cursor on X11 port can now be set to blink with PDCurses 2.5 and
above.
o The "find" family of commands can now be run without the mandatory
string parameter. Like LOCATE, these commands can use the string
used in the last "find" command if no parameter specified.
o [SET] COLOUR and [SET] ECOLOUR have options to turn on or off display
modifiers like BOLD, BLINK etc. These can be set for individual
colour specifications or for all colour specifications.
o Profile files specified with the -p command line switch will use
the same mechanism for locating the file as is done with the THE
MACRO command. ie THE_MACRO_PATH=/usr/local/THE set and mymacro.the
is in /usr/local/THE; the -p mymacro will find
/usr/local/THE/mymacro.the
o When setting variables via EXTRACT with Regina, THE now uses direct
setting rather than symbolic setting of variables. Should be no user
effect.
o POPUP command now returns POPUP.2 which contains the item number selected
or 0 if nothing selected and POPUP.3 which is the item number of the line
last highlighted.
o POPUP command now has no effective limit on what can be poped up. If the
number of lines or columns is too large for the size of the screen,
scrolling is now enabled.
o SET FULLFNAME now switches between displaying the fully qualified filename
of the current file and the FNAME omponent of the file.
o Rewrote build.the macro to use POPUP command and to not stay in the macro
after the build is executed.
o Number of lines in SET MSGLINE can be specified as * to indicate as
many lines as will fit on the screen. The number of lines argument
is now validated against the screen size and starting line argument.
A new CLEAR argument is also provided to clear the msgline contents.
o Slight change with syntax highlighting; brackets are not coloured
if there is no MATCH heading in the associated TLD file or if
SET HEADER MATCH OFF is set.
o New optional specification for coloring functions not specified
explicitely.
o Minor changes to syntax highlighting of numbers.
o SCHANGE now executes the previous arguments when no arguments are
specified.
--- New features:
o Support for GNU Regular Expressions in LOCATE and ALL commands. Command
syntax is LOCATE Regexp /RE/ and ALL Regexp /RE/ respectively.
o Added new SET REGEXP command to allow specification of which Regular
Expression syntax that is to be used in targets.
o Added new Appendix (7) for explaining some details of Regular Expressions.
o New command line option; "1" for X11 port. This runs THE in
"single window mode". What this means is that every time THE
is started, it checks to see if THE is already in "single window
mode" for the curent user, with the same optional filename supplied.
If so, the file or files requested to be edited on the command line are
sent to the running instance and are added to that instances ring.
Values from command line of -l, -c and -r passed to server and applied
to the file being edited.
Works on Unix with XCurses and ncurses.
o Added SYNONYM command. Not a full implementation yet; doesn't
support parameter reordering.
o Add support for Rexx/Trans on Unix and OS/2 platforms.
o Added new command SET EQUIVCHAR to set a character to be used
in parameters that would normally take '=' to specify a value
from the current file or view. Default value is '='.
o All SET commands can now use EQUIVCHAR where appropriate.
o Any command parameter that specifies a filename can use the
EQUIVCHAR to specify portions of the filename.
o Ports of THE now available for Amiga, BeOS, AtheOS, Linux/390
and Mac OSX.
o Added QUERY/EXTRACT NBSCOPE; number of lines in scope.
o Added EXTRACT FIELDWORD to return the current word in the current
field.
o Added new command, REDIT, to discard the changes to the current
file and reload it back into the ring retaining the current
location.
o Added BOUNDMARK, a new SET command, and associated QUERY/EXTRACT
and COLOR setting. BOUNDMARK displays vertical lines between
characters indicating columnar areas like ZONE or TABS. Only
significant on X11 port of THE with PDCurses 2.5 or above.
o Implementation of :number, :column and :postcompare headers
in a TLD file.
o Added initial COBOL, MAKE and OPL TLD files in the distribution.
o New command; SET HEADER, to turn on or off portions of the
current syntax highlighting.
o Added optional Common User Access (CUA) commands to allow
THE to behave in a manner consistent with the CUA definition.
New commands; SOS CUADELBACK, SOS CUADELCHAR.
Changed commands; CURSOR now has a CUA option for UP, DOWN, LEFT,
and RIGHT. enter command now has optional CUA option.
MARK command also has a CUA option to mark a CUA block, which is
like a STREAM block, but acts like the CUA mark.
See the sample cua.the macro for setting up THE to work like a CUA
editor.
o Added new config.the macro. It is a GUI configuration tool for THE
but is incomplete at this stage. This requires Rexx/Tk 1.2 or above
to work.
o Added new sample macro; tags.the. This is intended to be used with
Exuberant Ctags.
o Added new sample macro; nl.tld. This displays a POPUP with all the
named lines in the file and moves the cursor to the selected line.
o Added new sample macro; complete.the. This macro provides code
completion for Rexx and C languages. Should be easy to extend it
for other languages.
o Added new colour setting capabilities; CPREFIX and CGAP. These are
equivalent to PREFIX and GAP respectively, but relate to the current
line.
o Added THIGHLIGHT support; RESET, SET/MOD/QUERY/EXTRACT THIGHLIGHT, and
[SET] COLOUR THIGHLIGHT.
THIGHLIGHT displays found string or RE targets in the colour specified
by [SET] COLOUR THIGHLIGHT. Also string targets in SCHANGE command
also displayed in thighlight colour.
o Added [SET] TRAILING to change behaviour of trailing blanks in
files.
o Added preliminary compatibility mode for ISPF.
Changes include SET COMPAT, display of "TABS>", "COLS>" in prefix
area for tabs and cols indicator lines.
The changes are incomplete.
o Added new command; CURSOR GOTO. This is similar to CURSOR FILE, but
will move the cursor the the specified line/column even if they are
not in view.
o Added new SET command; TARGETSAVE. This allows you to specify which target
types are saved for subsequent calls to the LOCATE command without any
parameters. By default; SET TARGETTYPE ALL, the LOCATE command without any
parameters, locates the last target irrespective of the type of target.
This is the current behaviour. With SET TARGETTYPE STRING then
the only target saved will be one that has a string target component.
ie. if you executed LOCATE /fred/ then LOCATE :3 then LOCATE, the final
LOCATE will look for /fred/ NOT :3
o Added new SET command; PAGEWRAP. This allows the user to specify if
FORWARD and BACKWARD commands wrap to the bottom and top of files
automatically or not.
o Added new SOS command; SOS CURSORSHIFT. Similar to SOS CURSORADJ but
shifts text to the right of the cursor to the cursor position.
o Added QUERY/EXTRACT EFILEID to return the original filename of the current
file.
o Added QUERY/EXTRACT LASTOP to return the last operand specified for
various commands.
o Added SET FILETABS, TABFILE command and SET COLOUR/COLOR FILETABS and
FILETABSDIV. FILETABS allows for a single-line window displayed at the
top of the screen containing the filenames of all files (except the
current file) in the ring. Clicking the mouse on a filename makes it the
current file.
o Added new prefix commands for all compatibility modes:
+---------------
LC - lowercase line(s)
UC - uppercase line(s)
LCC - lowercase block
UCC - uppercase block
( - shift left column(s) within zone
) - shift left column(s) within zone
(( - shift left column block within zone
)) - shift left column block within zone
Not implemented yet...
O - overlay line(s) - same as OVERLAYBOX (except ISPF mode)
OO - overlay block(s) - same as OVERLAYBOX (except ISPF mode)
+---------------
o Added or modified prefix commands for ISPF compatibility mode:
+---------------
A - after target
B - before target
R - repeat line(s)
RR - repeat block
O - overlay line(s) - (ISPF behaviour)
OO - overlay block(s) - (ISPF behaviour)
COLS - column indicator line
TABS - tabs indicator line
BOUNDS - bounds indicator line
