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).

• Fix #483: Umlauts and other diacritics cause wrong line wrap

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"

3.3.0

Precompiled jars are available on SourceForge and Maven (com.fifesoft:rsyntaxtextarea:3.3.0). This release brings the following changes:

Highlights

🎁 Modern fold icon appearance

Added a new, modern appearance for the code folding region of the gutter, mimicking editors such as VS Code. The appearance of the code folding region can be toggled back to the previous, "classic" appearance, or further customized to your own liking, via the API:

"Modern" style

"Classic" style

🎁 "Armed" fold icon color

Theme and API support allow for specifying a different color for "armed" code folds. This results in a more visually pleasing, interactive UI. All built-in themes have been modified to take advantage of this feature (#460):

🎁 Protobuf syntax highlighting and code folding

Added protobuf syntax highlighting and code folding support (#446):

🎁 Ruby syntax highlighting improvements

Ruby saw some small syntax highlighting improvements (#448, #449):
