ED Version 4.11, Build 0.0 Release Notes
Note that these Release Notes are also included in the ED distribution.

You'll likely notice we've jumped ahead a few versions in this release. This is because we've been working on various internal releases and didn't want them to get confused with this public release.

What's New

• Matching brackets for ({[ and ]}), are now automatically highlighted when the cursor moves on to one of these and when you type one. This has been on the drawing board for a while, and is a very nice new feature.
• Line based bookmarks now persist when files are closed.
• Selecting a word in files whose Style Sheet uses Language: None now uses the word delimiters to determine what to select instead of the language parser. Requested by John Fisher.
• The File|Open dialog has been updated as follows:
  • The File History & Favorites lists column width has been increased from 30 to 80 characters, so you see longer filenames in full or with more detail.
  • The MRU Folder combo box drop down list sets its width to the widest item.
  • The MRU Folder combo box, Options button and Current folder controls move or resize as the dialog is resized.
• The File|Open dialog no longer reports a file not found error when you are given the option to create the file and say No. Requested by Martin Swinkels.
• All Toolbar combobox and drop down lists are now at least twice as high. The height is set dynamically to 1/3 of the height of the main ED window or 250 pixels, which ever is greater. Suggested by Per Isakson.
• Toolbar drop-down lists no longer display blank entries.
• The dialog that is displayed when a New version of ED is available has been updated to take you directly to the Download page at www.getsoft.com instead of the Forums and the instructions have been updated.
• You can now use: K_ParaReformat[Clm],param="always" to reformat text even if word wrap is turned off. To enable this use Options|Configuration|Behaviour|Keyboard file-Edit and change the keyboard binding as follows:
  set key ^Kk K_ParaReformat,param="always"
  Requested by Craig McQueen and John Fisher.
• In Macro|Macros.. the last macro that was 'checked on' is now selected when you open the dialog. This is also saved across editing sessions. Requested by Ed DeWan.
• You can now use: K_MacroManager,"param=my_macro_name" to select a macro in the list. Requested by Ed DeWan.
• When ED checks to see if there is a new release available it now uses the URL www.newrelease.softasitgets.com instead of www.getsoft.com. If you are using a software firewall, you may need to enable access to the new URL for ED's new version checking to work.
• Added PC-Lint Error checking. Thanks to Douglas Beattie.
• ProgressSmartIndent.c is now included in the ED Source code distribution. Requested by Jochen Zimmermann.

What's Fixed

• The Help|Register ED dialog now uses long path names for the Configuration files folder. Raised by Jochen Zimmermann.
• Text selected as the result of object matching no longer gets extended when Shift+AMovementKey is used.
• Text that is highlighted (selected) via. Bracket code completion no longer reverts to a stream selection when you select text in another window.
• Text that is highlighted (selected) via. Bracket code completion no longer forms part of a selection when Shift+Left Click is used to extend a selection.
• The C/C++ SDB parser no longer gets stuck on anonymous structs. Reported by Craig McQueen and Andy Copsey.
• A message that the C/C++ SDB parser displays in the Output window when it needs to back out of parsing nested code, has been changed so it only displays when absolutely necessary.
• Alt+- and Alt+Keypad- now open the System Menu for the current text window, if they aren't bound to ED commands. Reported by Paul Hotchin.
