JOE 4.5

Release Notes

JOE 4.5

Before:

After:

• Enhancements

  • New color scheme feature, which can be accessed with ^T S or by setting the -colors option.

  • 24-bit color support can be enabled by setting the COLORTERM environment variable to truecolor or 24bit.

  • Several schemes included in-the-box:

    • gruvbox by Pavel Pertsev

    • ir_black by Todd Werth

    • molokai by Tomas Restrepo

    • solarized by Ethan Schoonover

    • wombat by Lars H. Nielsen

    • xoria by Dmitriy Y. Zotikov

    • zenburn by Jani Nurminen

  • The current line can be highlighted by pressing ^T U or by enabling the -hiline option.

  • The gutter containing line numbers has a dynamic size based on the length of the file, rather than a fixed size of 10.

  • Updated all language syntax files to use comment_todo and string/comment contexts where appropriate.

  • Now pass character which invoked a macro to each macro step and call. If a macro step happens to be the 'type' command, the character which invoked the macro will be typed in. For example, this macro will type three 'X's. Before this change you got three NULs.

    type,type,type X

• Bugs fixed

  • Fix exsave: (^K ^X) should close file when a block is present in the window, and the file is unmodified (regression from ^C change in 4.2).

  • Fix regex assertions: they were not working because the character before the search position was not being loaded.

  • For jmacs: ^Q^J now again inserts \n in the string replace prompt. This broke beginning with JOE 4.0.

  • Don't try to open files for writing to check file access. This behaves better on unionfs mounts.

  • Fix stray blocks created after find/replace.

• Windows version

  • Fix inability to set indent step to 1 from menu.

  • Add support for math functions, fix engineering display.

  • Fix backslash escapes in find/replace.

  • Support italicized text.
