Geany 0.16 (February 15, 2009)

Bug fixes:

  • Fix indenting for Tabs & Spaces mode when inserting snippets.
  • Fix snippets and smart indent using too much indentation when the line contains whitespace after non-whitespace characters (#2215044).

  • Fix segfault when showing Find in Files dialog when no documents are open (#2228544).

  • Fix not switching to 2nd last used document when the last used document has been closed (#1945162).

General:

  • Group child tags by their parents in the symbol list for C-like filetypes, Python, Conf (thanks to Conrad Steenberg).

  • Use a tree for the Documents sidebar, grouped by path.

  • Add 'Tools->Configuration Files' menu with items to open filetype_extensions.conf and ignore.tags. These files are also

reloaded automatically when saved.

  • Change configuration directory path to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/geany (most often this is ~/.config/geany).

  • Allow to specify files on the command line and from remote instances to be URIs (local and with GIO also remote URIs).

  • Increase minimum required GTK version to 2.8.

Prefs:

  • Add Project Indentation prefs, which override the Editor Preferences dialog options. For new projects, these default to

the editor indent prefs.

  • Add an interface pref for whether to hide additional widgets when double-clicking on document notebook tabs (off by default).

  • Add a preference to invert all colours for syntax highlighting.

  • Add a hidden preference "allow_always_save" to make the Save buttons and menu items always sensitive.

Interface:

  • Rework the toolbar: now all elements can be added/removed/reordered using a simple XML file.

  • Add new toolbar buttons for Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Preferences, Close All and Build (including a submenu for Make actions).

  • Add a progressbar widget to the statusbar to show progress for time consuming actions.

Editor:

  • Make Ctrl-click go to matching brace if there's no current word.
  • Make Shift+Mouse wheel scroll the editor view horizontally.
  • Make the 'Mark' button for Find highlight the results with rounded boxes instead of marking the whole line.

  • Add auto-closing of braces, brackets and quotes (Guillaume de Rorthais).

  • Support multiple %cursor% wildcards in Snippets (Thomas Martitz).

Filetypes:

  • Add new filetypes Ada, CMake, Matlab, NSIS, Vala and YAML.
  • Update HTML character entities (thanks to Tyler D'Agosta).
  • Parse restructuredText sections in the order of first-used underline character, which can now be any punctuation character (as per the spec).

  • Remove GTK global tags, replace them with C (C99) tags. The GTK tags file is still available for download on the website.

  • Minor improvements for filetypes CSS, Fortran, FreeBasic, HTML, Tcl and Vala.

Windows:

  • Improve tab close icon size.
  • Changes to the Windows installer: - The full installer now includes the GTK 2.14 runtime environment.

- Register ".geany" as Geany Project File extension.

- Install GTK translation files only if installation of translation

files were requested (saves about 22 MB otherwise).

- Support silent installations.

Plugins:

  • Add Split Window 'Split Vertically' command (thanks to Moritz Barsnick).
  • Make Version Diff plugin set the indent type for diffs based on the current file's indent type.

  • Minor improvements to the filebrowser plugin

Plugin API:

  • Generate plugin API header geanyfunctions.h containing macros to avoid having to type the function pointer names manually.

  • Deprecate pluginmacros.h in favour of geanyfunctions.h.

  • Add "editor-notify" to the plugin API.
  • Add new plugin symbol plugin_help() which is called by Geany when the plugin should show its documentation (if any, symbol is optional).

Documentation:

  • Update Scintilla regular expression info for v1.77 (character classes, ASCII escaping, character sets containing square

brackets peculiarities). Adapted from SciTE doc.

  • Complete 'Hello World' Plugin Howto.

Internationalisation:

  • Updated translations: bg, ca, cs, de, en_GB, fr, hu, it, ja, pt_BR, sv, ru, tr, vi, zh_CN
