EmojiGear r5.1 - Better user experience

Version 5.1

Brings improvements in the field of user experience and comfort.

• If you open or save a file, and that file is then modified by another process,
  EmojiGear will ask whether to reload it. Open two instances of EmojiGear on
  the same file: if the first modifies the file, the second will be updated.
• Added a "Save" action with no requester if the text is already attached to a disk file.
  Also "Save All", which saves all modified files. It keeps each file's encoding.
• An asterisk '*' appears on file names in the tab bar when the text has been modified.
• Workbench text file icons can be drag-and-dropped onto the main window;
  multiple text files can be loaded in a single drag-and-drop. Isn't it great?
• If a modified file is closed, EmojiGear asks whether to save it first.
• You can choose background color and text color with both the palette and the
  almighty "GetColor" gadget.
• EmojiBox now has a "Diacritics" section for European-specific characters,
  including the French "median point" for inclusive writing.

Then, some corrections:

• Behaviour bug fixed: block indent used to create an undo/redo action per line.
  Now, as expected, there is a single undo/redo action per block indent/unindent.

  And perhaps the most important thing in this release:

• On native AGA screens, the active part of the editor, UniTextEditor.gadget,
  and utf8rastport.library (the glyph renderer), were consuming way too much
  Chip RAM in v4. This has now been reduced to very little Chip RAM usage,
  so native-screen users may find this app more reliable.

  The improvements in utf8rastport.library and unitexteditor.gadget are also
  key for the forthcoming Mastodon client "FriendSh3ep", coming next.

------------------------- Version 4.3

Just a small update, because r4.2 had
problems with the OS3.9 Installer, and some binaries were
not 100% Amiga compliant. Now they are.
From now on, the installer will no longer check previous
binary versions; everything will be updated
to the version of the current package.

• Fear face and dancer added to the "Popular Emojis" set.
• Font selector now checks the format before loading a font,
  preventing crashes from bad font files.

------------------------- Version 4

Again, mostly a bugfix release!
Thanks to the testers, three critical bugs were fixed this week.
Hopefully, a few new features too:

• EmojiGear (OS3.2)

  • NEW FEATURE: tabs now have closing buttons!
  • Fewer problems when iconifying, changing screen mode, and uniconifying.

• unitexteditor.gadget (all OSes)

  • Four memory bugs fixed, mostly around offscreen bitmap management.
  • "Scroll dancing" when editing a bottom-cropped line: fixed.
  • NEW FEATURE: Right Alt + Left/Right arrows jump from word to word.

• EmojiGear & MUImojiGear

  • No more crash when pipe-fed ANSI text, e.g.: echo "â" | EmojiGear.
    (You can pipe in UTF-8 or ANSI text; it is disambiguated automatically.)
  • NEW FEATURE: optionally displays the Unicode "code point" of the
    character under the cursor, and its "Unicode block name".
    This is a great help in finding out which character set is missing
    from your font configuration. Fun to try with the example texts
    test_utf8_3_multilingual.txt and test_utf8_2_symbols.txt.

• MUImojiGear (the one that works on OS3.9 and possibly lower OS versions)

  • Ctrl key behaviour fixed when the editor is focused.
    You can "page up" and "page down" with Ctrl+Arrows.
  • Double-click selects a whole word, triple-click selects a whole line,
    so keyboard handling in the MUI version is now closer to EmojiGear's.
    This also corrects the behaviour for any future MUI application using
    unitexteditor.gadget.

• The font NotoColorEmoji32.ttf, which contains 32x32-pixel colour emojis,
  is derived from the official 128x128-pixel NotoColorEmoji.ttf.
  It had incorrect metrics that made them appear slightly shifted;
  this has been corrected in this version.
