Slate v0.6.0

Slate 0.6.0

Seven more languages: Dart, Scala, Objective-C and Objective-C++, G-code, and the Inno Setup and NSIS installer scripts.

Download: Slate.exe below, for 64-bit Windows 10 or 11. If you have 0.2.0 or newer, it offers this update in its status bar by itself (Help → Check for updates asks right away).

New languages

• Dart (.dart) and Scala (.scala, .sc, .sbt): keywords and types, strings with $name and ${…} colored inside them, nested comments.
• Objective-C (.m and .h files with #import, @interface and the like, so a C header or a MATLAB file stays what it is) and Objective-C++ (.mm): the @ words, @"…" strings and @42-style literals, YES, nil, self.
• G-code (.gcode, .gco, .ngc, .nc, .cnc, and a slicer's output whatever its name): G and M codes, parameters, line numbers, comments, M117 messages, Klipper commands.
• Inno Setup (.iss, .isl): sections, Name: value; parameters, {app}-style constants, the preprocessor, and the [Code] section as Pascal Script. Toggle comment uses ; outside [Code] and // inside it.
• NSIS (.nsi, .nsh): commands, ! directives, $VARIABLES, ${defines} and $(strings) (inside quotes too), labels, and lines continued with \.
• Each one is in Format → Language, works with Toggle comment, colors Markdown code blocks marked with its name, and is offered in "Open with" once Help → Open files with Slate has set that up (so is .ppcl).
• None of them colors slower than C does, and the languages that were already there are as fast as before.
