The text below if from the SynEdit 2.1.0 readme.md file however just a few word on why this repository exists. I, David Hoyle, do not claim that any of this code is mine, I just use the SynEdit controls for editing text in my applications. In recent times I've been implementing VCL theming in my applications and found that SynEdit 2.1.0 does not support VCL Theming. So I decided to see if I could update the code and get the SynEdit editor to theme and I've managed to achieve that. Its not been thoroughly tested and I've only themed the SynEdit control and not anything else at this time. This unfortunately this isn't a fork directly from SynEdit on GitHub as I've found the live code is sometimes broken so I took a release copy and baselined it with Git Flow just so that I could monitor then changes from SynEdit 2.1.0. Its loaded here on my GitHub profile as its used as a SubModule to a number of my other project which also use Git and this provide a central location to manage the code changes. Please feel free to use HOWEVER call credit for the code should go to the SynEdit team at https://github.com/SynEdit/SynEdit.
This is a fork of the Unicode version of SynEdit hosted ad SourceForge. When it became more and more difficult to maintain, Eric Grange decided to fork this project on GitHub. This way it's possible to fork, merge and maintain easier than before.
The original project (with the original readme.txt file) is located here:
http://synedit.sourceforge.net

SynEdit had been started as an attempt to continue the no longer maintained sources of the mwEdit project. The last public version 0.92a of mwEdit can be found at the SynEdit website in the download section.
The mwEdit project was started in 1998 by Martin Waldenburg, aim was to produce a syntax highlighting editor component for an Open Source IDE. In the 15 months that mwEdit was developed in public Martin was increasingly dissatisfied with the direction the development of mwEdit took, so he finally requested that his name and initials had to be removed from the project. Therefore this is now called SynEdit, and it is an Open Source project under the MPL (Mozilla Public License, but see the individual source files for the terms). There would however be no such project if Martin had not started to develop mwEdit, so we would like to thank Martin Waldenburg for his efforts, and of course all the other developers of the mwEdit project.
