## Release Notes [Back to README file](http://sourceforge.net/p/joe-editor/mercurial/ci/default/tree/README.md) [Browse source](https://sourceforge.net/p/joe-editor/mercurial/ci/default/tree) [Download source distribution](https://sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor/files/) [Build instructions](https://sourceforge.net/p/joe-editor/mercurial/ci/default/tree/INSTALL.md) ### JOE.next ### JOE 4.6 * Enhancements * Upgrade to Unicode 10.0.0. Add configure environment variable that allows you select Unicode 8.0.0, 9.0.0 or 10.0.0. * Install Gnome .desktop files for JOE. This allows you to use JOE in GUI "Open With" mouse actions. * Support strikeout and double-underline attributes for the few terminal emulators that support them. Use "stricken" and "dunderline" in the syntax files, or \s and \z in help screens and status line. * Bugs fixed * Fix bug where JOE would sometimes crash when editing shell scripts. This was due to an obscure bug in the syntax highlighter: 'reset' command (used for default state) was incorrectly messing with stack. * -highlighter_context was missing from many file types, which negated some improvements from the previous version. * Fixed signed char overflow with old style mouse events in large windows * Fix bug where path restart (//) was being applied to block filter command prompt. Strange things would happen if you had adjacent slashes in command arguments. * Allow ~ expansion but suppress path restart (//) in compiler error parsing. * Restore default handling of SIGPIPE and SIGINT for shell commands. This fixes an issue where SIGPIPE doesn't terminate a process as expected, for example by the head -n 10 in: ^K R !sh -c 'while :; do echo y; done' | head -n 10. This issue only occurred in read/write to !, JOE already did the right thing for shell windows and the filter region through shell command. * Improve screen update algorithm so that spaces at the ends of lines are always emitted. This allows them to be preserved when cutting text with the mouse from a terminal emulator window. * Improve efficiency of screen update algorithm: JOE had been resetting attributes such as background color before performing cursor motions (probably as work around for bugs in old terminal emulators). This made screen update slow when there were many attributes, as with syntax highlighting and color schemes. It was also repeatedly emitting ESC [ K. * Switch JOE to issue scrolling commands, even at high baud rates (before this, JOE issued scrolling commands only at 19200 and below because it used to be that simple screen refresh was faster than scrolling in terminal emulators. But this is no longer true with complex screens involving color schemes, unicode and highlighting). * Windows version * Fix file access checks. Inaccessible files due to ACL's weren't correctly detected. This was a regression in 4.5. * Check the correct (Windows) path in the home directory for color schemes. This was not re-implemented properly in 4.5. ### 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](https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728) 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. ### JOE 4.4 * Enhancements * Bugs fixed * Fix segfault due to buffer overrun. This happens if a line with many backslashes appears in the status line context display. * Fix jmacs: ^X ^F and ^X ^B were not working * Build fixes for Solaris * Improve php highlighter: allow numbers in substitution variable names * Unicode tweak: treat private use characters (Co) as printable * Dockerfile highlighter: Add Docker new commands from 1.12, mark bad strings in arrays * Fix loading external charmaps * Windows version * Fix crashing bug when using incremental search ### JOE for Windows 4.3 [Download](http://sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor/files/JOE%20for%20Windows/4.3/joewin.msi/download) * Bugs fixed * Fixed a missed merge that prevented some options menu items from being changed (tab width, tab char, etc). * Fixed bugs updating the title bar. * Minor memory leak/performance fix in subprocess communication. * (from newer version) Fix segfault due to buffer overrun. This happens if you a line with many backslashes appears in the status line context display. ### JOE 4.3 * Enhancements * Improve memory usage by shrinking buffer header size and highlighter state size. * Improve performance of status line context display (which shows the first line of the function that the cursor is currently in). This feature was making JOE very slow on extremely large files with auto indent enabled (typically JSON or XML data files). Now the syntax highlighter computes the context display (using a new syntax named context.jsf). * Add a mode 'title' to enable or disable the status line context display (previously autoindent mode was overloaded to do this). * Disable syntax highlighting and context display in very large files * Force more appropriate modes when we enter hex dump display: enable overtype, disable autoindent, wordwrap, ansi, picture. * Handle middle mouse button in "joe -mouse" mode (before it did nothing). It's treated as paste (copy region to mouse) as expected. (patch from Petr Olsak). * Bugs fixed * Do not kill region highlighting during incremental search (patch from Petr Olsak). * Negative numbers were not being recognized in blocks * PgUp/PgDn would try to scroll menu if the window above is a menu (it should do this only for completion menus associated with prompts) * Use 'LC_ALL=C sed' to get JOE to compile in OS X. * Forward direction delimiter matching where the delimiters do not begin with special characters (for example in Verilog "begin" / "end") was not working. * Get mouse to work in menus: this broke in 4.1 * Character classes with ranges were not working for UTF-8 (as in \\[a-z]) * Apply spec highlighting to .spec files * Gracefully handle short terminals: fix segfaults which occur when trying to shrink terminal while many windows are on the screen or while turning on help with a short terminal. Fix similar bugs involving the skiptop option. JOE now works even if the terminal height is only one line. ### JOE 4.2 * New or improved syntax files for the following languages: * Dockerfile * Usability Enhancements * The top Google help searches for JOE include: * How do I save and exit? The startup copyright notice has been replaced with basic help for beginners: ^K Q to exit and ^K H for help. * How do I dismiss the region highlighting? The traditional way is to hit ^K B ^K K, but this is slightly non-obvious and has always been awkward. Now Ctrl-C will do it. * How do I close all files and exit? Now Ctrl-K Q does this. Previously ^K Q was the same as ^C: abort a single file. * Restyle the help screens: * Make it more obvious that there is more than one screen: put the help for help inline with the text instead of in the (seemingly invisible) header. * Mention Ctrl-Arrow region selection, status and goto matching delimiter commands on the first screen. * Remove time and "Ctrl-K H for help" message from status bar. Beginners often don't notice this help message, and it takes up valuable status bar space that power users want for the context display. * Add ^KH for help to search and replace prompts. Many JOE users do not know about this context sensitive help. * Provide aborthint and helphint options so that the ^C and ^K H hints can be customized depending on the rc file (so say ^G for abort in jmacs, for example). * Enable -noxon by default (disable ^S/^Q flow control). This allows us to bind ^Q to quote and ^S / ^R to incremental search. * Document ESC X (command prompt) in the help screens. * "joe --help" now prints all command line options. * Other Enhancements * Tags search now tries to find the tags file in parent directories if it does not exist in the current directory and if the TAGS environment variable was not set. * Built-in calculator can now print and accept numbers in binary, octal and engineering formats: __dec__ 12_345 __eng__ 12.345_0e3 __bin__ 0b11_0000_0011_1001 __oct__ 0o3_0071 __hex__ 0x3039 * Built-in calculator now prints and accepts separating underscores for clarity. For example, 4_294_967_296 instead of 4294967296. * Enhanced calculator statistics functions: * __dev__ computes standard deviation with full population * __samp__ computes standard deviation with sample of population * Linear regression analysis. Select a region of x and y values, then: * __lr__(x) provide estimate of y given x * __rlr__(y) provide estimate of x given y * __Lr__, __lR__, __LR__: log, exponential, power regression * Calculator region functions now assume the entire buffer if no region is set. * Tab completion now works at the calculator prompt (and in all prompts which allow numeric input, such as ^KL- go to line). * Make new regex engine (from JOE 4.1) more compatible with the classic engine. \\y is now shorthand for \\(\\.\\\*\\), so that it does what \\\* did in the old engine. Also: * \\. no longer matches newline. * \\\* matches shortest match, not longest match. * Add -left and -right options to control the amount scrolling when the cursor moves past the left or right edge of the screen. When the baud rate is low these are automatically set to a large amount. Also, these now control the manual horizontal scrolling commands. When these are positive, they indicate number of columns. When they are negative, they indicate a fraction of the screen width (-2 is 1/2 the width). * Bugs fixed * Fix use after free bug which shows up as a crash in OpenBSD * Fix bug where indent step value was not shown on ^T menu * Fix bug where setting margin doesn't work on big-endian systems * Fix issue where highest valued Unicode character equivalent was not translating to its corresponding 8-bit character. Effect of this was that Delete key was not working in shell windows in ASCII character set. * Standard deviation calculator function was not producing correct results. * Allow koi8r and koi8-r for KOI8-R in joe_getcodeset (which is only used if there is no setlocale). * Guess_crlf forced UNIX line endings for new files even though crlf was set. Now crlf is left alone if guess_crlf can not determine the line ending. * If cursor was at end of a long line and you switched to hex dump display mode, then hex dump was scrolled. Now scroll offset is reset when you switch to hex display mode. ### JOE for Windows 4.1 [Download](http://sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor/files/JOE%20for%20Windows/4.1/joewin.msi/download) * Includes all changes from mainline 4.1 * Now includes html documentation, shortcut to documentation in context menu * Added pop-up terminal support * Brought in Ryan Prichard's winpty for a better pop-up terminal experience (now with tab-completion, colors, doskey, and support for Powershell) * Can easily be configured to launch Cygwin shells * Fixes to keep the Window title in sync with the current file. * Better tab-completion behavior for Windows-style paths * Code cleanup * Added translations to installer * Improve color scheme support * Distribute standalone executables in addition to regular MSI installer ### JOE 4.1 * New or improved syntax files for the following languages: * Groovy, R, Clojure, Rust, Coffeescript, Java, Scala, Swift, D, AVR, Ruby, Perl * New translations * Chinese (zh_TW) * UTF-16 support * JOE can now edit UTF-16BE and UTF-16LE files. It does this by converting them to UTF-8 during load and back to UTF-16 during save. * Within JOE, native byte order is called UTF-16 and reversed order is called UTF-16R. * If you change the encoding (with ^T E) between UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-16R, JOE will convert the file to the desired encoding on save. * New regular expression engine * Old one was a recursive matcher, new one is compiled Thompson NFA matcher * JOE now supports full regular expressions (but as before special characters are escaped by default), so: * It now supports alternative: X\|Y * It now supports grouping and submatch addressing with parenthesis: a\\(inside\\)b * You can specify an explicit number of matches: X\\{3} for XXX * Or a range of matches: X\\{3,5} for XXX, XXXX or XXXXX * \\! is a JOE extension: it's like \\., but matches whole balanced expressions * JOE also supports the standard regular expression syntax where these characters are not escaped. * Use the 'x' search & replace option for this, or use the '-regex' global option to make it the default. * Standard syntax regular expressions are now used in the ftyperc file (which is used to determine the syntax of the file by inspecting its contents) * Submatches within regular expressions can now be any size (up to the size of the disk!). Before this, they were limited to 16K. * Case conversion allowed in replacement string, as in sed: everything between \\U and \\E converted to uppercase. * Unicode improvements * Character class database has been updated to the latest version (Unicode 8.0.0) * Switched to new character class data structure for faster Unicode (uses radix search instead of binary search). * Key sequences in the joerc file are now UTF-8 coded Unicode. * Also you can specify Unicode in hexadecimal like this: U+F123 * Note that even if you are using an 8-bit locale, keys are translated to UTF-8 before keymap lookup. This means you must use the Unicode code for your character in the joerc file, not the 8-bit code for the character. * Jump to matching delimiter (Ctrl-G) now supports Unicode for word delimiters (for example, within XML tags). * Identifiers within JOE now allow Unicode. For example, variables at the math prompt and JOE macros can use any letter. * JOE now displays Unicode combining characters properly * Syntax files are now UTF-8 coded and support Unicode syntax. * Character lists in syntax files and search strings (regular expressions) now provide access to the Unicode category database and provide some other useful character classes: * Use \x{f123} to specify a particular character. * Use \p{Lu} to specify a Unicode character class: any one of L, Lu, Ll, Lt, Lm, Lo M, Mn, Mc, Me N, Nd, Nl, No P, Pc, Pd, Ps, Pe, Pi, Pf, Po S, Sm, Sc, Sk, So Z, Zs, Zl, Zp C, Cc, Cf, Cs, Co, Cn See: ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/5.1.0/ucd/UCD.html#General_Category_Values * Use \p{Cherokee} to specify any character from a named Unicode block. * \d for a digit, \D for not a digit * \w for a word character, \W for not a word character * \s for a space character, \S for not a space character * \i for identifier start character, \I for not identifier start character * \c for identifier continuation character, \C for not identifier continuation character * Code clean up * Switch to ptrdiff_t for memory offsets and off_t for file offsets (prior to this, int and long were used). Now you can edit files larger than 4 GB on 32-bit systems. * Give up trying force all strings to "unsigned char *" so that the code is less weird. * Clean up code so that we get a clean compile even with many more warnings enabled. Going forward this helps find real bugs by highlighting new warnings. * Remove C usage which is illegal in C++ so that JOE can be compiled by C++ compilers as well as C compilers. This is useful because C++ compilers sometimes warn about issues that C compilers miss. * Bugs fixed * Fix bug where \\ was not parsed correctly within syntax file character lists unless it was at the end of the string. * Fix bug where position cursor history operations would mix pointers between different buffers if user had switched buffers in a window. * Fix bug where lockup would happen if you try querysave when the only buffer left is the startup log. * Default locale * If no locale set, default to C / POSIX, not ISO-8859-1 * If locale is C / POSIX, set language to en_US (for aspell). * Improve performance where JOE would seem to lock up if you tried to reformat a very long single word due to O(n^3) algorithm. * Prevent filt and blkdel from modifying read-only buffers. This could happen if you run them from modifyable buffer but with block set in a read-only buffer. * Fixed issue when recording paste in a macro. If you tried to play the macro, the pasted text is not inserted and JOE is stuck waiting for the bracketed paste end string. * Fixed issue where syntax could not be set on command line with -syntax. * Minor enhancements * Tab completion now works for the command and its file arguments after '!' in file prompts. Tab completion now works for the filename after '>>' in file write prompts. * Tab completion now handles directory and file names with spaces in them. * Backspace now jumps back to parent menu in ^T submenus (and remembers the cursor position within the parent) * Macros after :def are now allowed to cross lines in the joerc file * Make ^K ^SPACE same as ^K SPACE * Quoted insert of TAB always inserts a TAB character, even when smart indent is enabled. * Add options to control sending of bracketed paste mode command to terminal emulator (brpaste) and detection of paste by timing (pastehack). * Modified ftyperc file syntax to reduce redundancy * Added file type (as defined in ftyperc) setting option. For example, with "joe -type c fred" JOE will assume fred is a C language file. Use ^T F to change the file type from within JOE. * Highlighter enhancement: when % is used in place of a character list, it matches the save_c delimiting character as-is (vs. & which matches the opposite character). For example, if save_c has {, then % matches { while & matches }. This allows JOE to highlight q{hello { there } } in Perl. * jmacs fixes: * ^X b / ^X ^B were reversed * ^X 0 printed an exit message for no reason * ^X 0 now can pop shell windows * M-^ deleted indentation but did not join with previous line * Ignore case for letter commands: ^X i and ^X I are the same * Fix bug where regular expressions were not working in incremental search when wrap is enabled (which is the case in jmacs). * ESC g (grep/find) and ESC c (compile) improvements * Tab completion now works for the command and its arguments * Change to the current directory before running the command * Show the current directory in the compile window * Show the exit status in the compile window * Provide more consistent window setup during compile * Parse "Entering directory `/home/xxxxxx'" messages to determine the directory containing the file with an error message. ### JOE 3.8 Native Windows Version [Download](http://sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor/files/JOE%20for%20Windows/3.8/joewin.msi/download) * Thanks to John J. Jordan we now have a native Windows version of JOE ### JOE 4.0 [Download](http://sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor/files/JOE%20sources/joe-4.0/joe-4.0.tar.gz/download) * JOE now has pop-up shell windows with full terminal emulation and shell commands that can control the editor. Hit F1 - F4 to bring up a shell window. See [Pop-up shell feature](http://sourceforge.net/p/joe-editor/mercurial/ci/default/tree/docs/man.md#popup) for a full description. * The status command (^K SPACE) can now be customized using the same syntax as the status bar. Look for smsg and zmsg in joerc to see how to do this. * parserr (the error parser) will parse only the highlighted block if it's set. Before it always parsed the entire buffer. * Now there is a per-buffer concept of current directory. This was added to make the pop-up shell windows work better, but it's useful in general. * At file prompts you can begin a new anchored path without having to delete the old one. It means that ~jhallen/foo//etc/passwd is translated to /etc/passwd. Prompt windows are now highlighted to indicate which parts of the path are being dropped. There is a syntax file for this: filename.jsf * The error parser now ignores ANSI sequences (some versions of grep color their results, now JOE can still parse it). * Temporary messages are now dismissed by keyboard input only. Before, they could also be dismissed by shell input. * Tags search now supports multiple matches. ^K ; can be configured to either provide a menu of the matches or to cycle through them. * Tags search will now match on the member name part of member functions ('fred' will match 'myclass::fred'). * Tags search will prepend the path to the tags file file name in the tags file. This is important when JOE finds the tags file via the TAGS environment variable. * Remove ` as quote character from incremental search. * Clean up documentation, convert much of it to Markdown. ### JOE 3.8 [Download](http://sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor/files/JOE%20sources/joe-3.8/joe-3.8.tar.gz/download) - Search JOE image for :include files referenced by the joerc file. Include ftyperc file in the JOE image. - Change default indent from 2 to 4. Add quick menu to change to common indent values: ^T = (1, 2, 4, or 8). Switch to + and - for definitively setting or clearing options so that 0 and 1 can be use for quick select. - Added option to suppress DEADJOE file - Jump to matching delimiter (Ctrl-G) has been improved. It can now use the syntax files to parse the document in order to identify strings and comments which should be skipped during the matching delimiter search. (patch by Charles Tabony). - When 'notite' mode is enabled, JOE now emits linefeeds to preserve the screen contents in the terminal emulator's scrollback buffer. This can be suppressed with a new flag: nolinefeeds. - JOE now starts up quiet (prints no extra messages when starting). Messages are collected in a startup log (view with ESC x showlog). - There is a new flag 'noexmsg' which, when set, makes JOE quiet when it shuts down (suppresses "File not changed so no update needed" message). - Use 80th column if terminal has xn capability (patch by pts and Egmont Koblinger). - Support italic text (on some terminal emulators) with "\l" (patch by Egmont Koblinger) - Support bracketed paste (patch by Egmont Koblinger) - Fix line number in syntax highlighter error output - Prevent infinite loops caused by buggy syntax definitions. - New and improved syntax definitions for: * Ant: contributed by Christian Nicolai * Batch files: contributed by John Jordan * C#: contributed by John Jordan * Debian apt sources.list: contributed by Christian Nicolai * Elixir: contributed by Andrew Lisin * Erlang: contributed by Christian Nicolai, Jonas Rosling, Andrew Lisin * git-commit messages: contributed by Christian Nicolai * Go: contributed by Matthias S. Benkmann * HAML: contributed by Christian Nicolai * INI: contributed by Christian Nicolai * iptables: contributed by Christian Nicolai * Javascript: contributed by Rebecca Turner, Christian Nicolai * json: contributed by Rebecca Turner * Markdown: contributed by Christian Nicolai, Jonas Rosling * Powershell: contributed by Oskar Liljeblad * Prolog: contributed by Christian Nicolai * Puppet: contributed by Christian Nicolai, Eric Eisenhart * Sieve: contributed by Christian Nicolai * YAML: contributed by Christian Nicolai (from github.com/cmur2/joe-syntax) - Syntax definition fixes for: C, Python, Java, Lua, sh, Ruby, PHP, TeX, CSS, and XML - Save/restore utf-8 and crlf modes when changing in/out of hex edit for better display - Fix autocomplete for paths containing spaces - Accept mouse events beyond column 208 (patch by Egmont Kobligner) - Adjust guess_indent behavior based on user feedback - Fix infinite loop in search and replace - Add a new command 'timer' which executes a macro every n seconds. I use this for periodically injecting a command into a shell window for overnight testing of some device. - Convert double to long long (if we have it) when printing hexadecimal. - Fix bug where undo was acting strangely in shell windows. - Fix crash when hitting -----------.. wordwrap bug. - Check for math functions - Use *joerc if *fancyjoerc not there. - fix segfault from -orphan - fix window size detection bug: can't take out types.h from tty.c - update status line immediately on resize. - va_copy fix. - don't smartbackspace when smartbacks is off. ### JOE 3.7 - backspace/DEL means 'n' in replace prompt for better Emacs compatibility - Menus are now made up of macros instead of options. New commands: * menu Prompt for a menu to display with tab completion. * mode Prompt for an option to change with tab completion. Menus are defined in joerc with ':defmenu name' followed by a set of menu entries. Menu entries are the pair: 'macro string'. String is a format string displayed in the menu. Macro is executed when then menu entry is selected. Use this to add your own macros to ^T. - ^T is now a user definable menu system - Treat \ as a quote character for file I/O. Now you can edit files like !test with \\!test - Print NULs in default search string. Handle many \s properly. - Allow backslashes in file names - Fix %A to print Unicode - Charles Tabony's (vectorshifts's) highlighter stack patch - ! is replace all in replace prompt - Turn off UTF-8 when we enter hex mode - Call ttsig on vfile I/O errors. - Abort cleanly when malloc returns NULL - Add reload command to reload file from disk - Modify configure scrips to use docdir for extra documents and datadir/joe for syntax and i18n files. - Don't use bold yellow, it's bad for white screens - Fix TeX highlighter: don't highlight " - Make mail.jsf more forgiving for those of us who still use old UNIX mail - Fix file rename bugs - Improve ubop: can reformat a block of paragraphs again. Reformat of adjacent indented paragraphs working again. - Improve XML highlighter: allow \r in whitespace ### JOE 3.6 - Preserve setuid bit - Fix bug where backup file did not get modtime of original - New diff highlighter - Fix paragraph format when overtype is on - Fix non-french spacing - Fix bug with joe +2 on single line files - Add syntax file for .jsf files - Add ASCII table to joerc help - ^KD renames file - Improve HTML highlighter... if you see <? it's probably a script... - Check for EINTR from ioctl - > allowed in xml content - Add -flowed option: adds a space after paragraph lines. - Fix German and French .po files: they were cause search&replace to break. - Look at LC_MESSAGES to get the language to use for editor messages. - Added -no_double_quoted and -tex_comment for TeX - Added -break_symlinks option and changed -break_links option to not break symbolic links. - Paragraph format of single line paragraph is indented only if autoindent is enabled. (jqh) - Guessindent no longer overrides istep if indentation is space. - Fix low limit of lmargin - Allow inserting file in rectangle mode even if selected rectangle is zero-width. - .js is Javascript - Fix ^G in Perl mode when you hit it on second brace in: {\' \'} - Fix LUA highlighter (dirk_s) - Improved conf.jsf (dirk_s) - Added local option (-nobackup) to suppress backup files (peje) - Add Matlab syntax file (neer) - Improve mail syntax highlighter (jqh) - Fix crash when calling syntax file as subroutine (hal9042) - Get "ctags" tag search to work again - Fix crash when JOE tries to write to unwritable file - Fix crash when entering blank macro ESC x <return> - Improve Verilog highlighter - Fix crash when typing ESC x !ls - Add C++ keywords to highlighter (otterpop81) - Added RPM spec file syntax spec.jsf - Improve 'istring' (.jsf command) (hal9042) - Update French .po file (jengelh) - Fix infinite search/replace loop bug (yugk) - New feature: insert status line format string using 'txt' (tykef) - Update Russion .po file (yugk) - Update Russian manpage (yugk) - Update jicerc Russian rc file (yugk) - Fix lock prompt message (yugk) - Add Ukrainian .po file (yugk) ### JOE 3.5 - Query windows now expand to multiple lines if necessary - Single key queries are now internationalized (set local versions in the .po file) - Spell check language can be set in the editor - New syntax files: m4, joerc - New debug window for highlight file syntax errors. - Macros can be typed at the ESC X prompt (before it used to accept only commands). - Built-in joerc file allows JOE to run even if /etc/joe directory is missing. - Support for 'long long' allows editing parts of files larger than 4GB. For example, you can say: joe /dev/hda,0x100000000,0x1000 to edit the 4KB block at offset 4GB of a hard drive. - Option which allows you set how many undo records to keep. - You can give a path to the tags file in the TAGS environment variable. ### JOE 3.4 - Paragraph reformatter and word wrap now handle '*' and '-' bullet lists. - Better internationalization (i18n): JOE now uses gettext(), so that internal messages can be translated to the local language. The /etc/joe directory now has a lang subdirectory for the .po files. Internationalized joerc files are now possible. If LANG is en_GB, JOE tries successively to load joerc.en_GB, joerc.en and joerc. - Multi-file search and replace: There are two new search and replace options: 'a': the search covers all loaded buffers. So you can say: joe *.c and then ^KF foo <return> ra <return> bar <return> to replace all instances of foo in all .c files. 'e': the search covers all files in the error list. You can use grep-find to create a list of files: ESC g grep -n foo f*.c ^KF foo <return> re bar <return> You can also use 'ls' and 'find' instead of grep to create the file list. - JOE now restores cursor position in previously visited files. - Build and grep window work more like Turbo-C: the messages window is forced onto the screen when you hit ^[ = and ^[ -. - Syntax highlighter definition files (.jsf files) can now have subroutines. This eases highlighter reuse: for example, Mason and PHP can share the HTML highlighter. - I've changed the way JOE handles '-' and redirected input: joe < file A shell process is started which 'cat's the file into the first buffer. tail -f log | joe A shell process is started which 'cat's the output from 'tail -f' (watch a log file) into the first buffer. joe - JOE does not try to read from stdin, but when the file is saved, it writes to stdout. echo "hi" | joe - | mail fred "hi" ends up in first buffer. When you save, mail is sent. - Many bugs have been fixed. I've tried to address every issue in the bug tracker. Hopefully I didn't create too many new ones :-) - You can now define which characters can indent paragraphs. Also the default list has been reduced so that formatting of TeX/LaTeX files works better. - Highlighting now uses less CPU time and always parses from the beginning of the file (the number of sync lines option is deprecated). Here is a CPU usage comparison for scrolling forwards and backwards through a 35K line C file: JOE .58 JED .57 NEDIT 3.26 VIM 7.33 EMACS 11.98 - JOE now matches Thomas Dickey's implementation of my xterm patch (but configure xterm with --paste64). - File selection menu/completion-list is now above the prompt (which is more like bash). Also it is transposed, so that it is sorted by columns instead of rows. - "Bufed" (prompt for a buffer to edit), works like other file prompt commands: it's a real prompt with history and completion. - Automatic horizontal left scroll jumps by 5-10 columns. - New syntax files: troff, Haskell, Cadance SKILL, REXX, LUA, RUBY. Many of the existing syntax files have been improved. ### JOE 3.3 - The default background color can now be set. - JOE now supports 256 color xterm. - The mouse can now resize windows and select menu entries. - During selection with the mouse, the window will autoscroll when you go past the edge. - An xterm-patch is included which makes "-mouse" mode work better. (With the patch, also set "-joexterm"). - Syntax files are provided: ADA, AWK, COBOL, SED, Postscript, and SQL - Improved jpico: search now looks more like real pico - Grep find: use ESC g to grep. Then use ESC space to jump to to indicated file/line. - Cygwin setup.exe support ### JOE 3.2 - A Perforce SCM "p4 edit" macro has been supplied (along with the hooks within JOE which support it) so that when you make the first change to a read-only file, JOE runs "p4 edit". (look in joerc file to enable the macro). - Hex edit mode has been added. For example: joe -hex /dev/hda,0,1024 - New '-break_links' option causes JOE to delete before writing files, to break hard links. Useful for 'arch' SCM. - JOE now has GNU-Emacs compatible file locks. A symbolic link called .#name is created, "pointing" to "user@machine.pid" whenever the buffer goes from unmodified to modified. If the lock can't be created, the user is allowed to steal or ignore the lock, or cancel the edit. The lock is deleted when buffer goes from modified to unmodified (or you close the file). - JOE now periodically checks the file on the disk and gives a warning if it changed when you try to modify the buffer. (JOE already performed this test on file save). - The built-in calculator (ESC m) is now a full featured scientific calculator (I'm shooting for Casio Fx-4000 level here :-), including hexadecimal and ability to sum (and perform statistics on) a highlighted (possibly rectangular) block of numbers. Hit ^K H at the math prompt for documentation. - You can now change the current directory in JOE (well, it prompts with the latest used directory). - Colors can now be specified in the joerc file - Macro language now has conditionals and modifiers for dealing with repeat arguments. Jmacs now works better due to this. - Tab completion works at tags search prompt ^K ; - ^G now jumps between word delimiters (begin..end in Verilog, #if #else #endif in C, /* .. */ and XML tags). If it doesn't know the word, it starts a search with the word seeding the prompt. It is also much smarter about skipping over comments and quoted matter. - TAB completion is now much more like bash (again :-). The cursor stays at the file name prompt instead of jumping into the menu system. Also ^D brings up the menu, as in tcsh. Also, tab completion now works on user names for ~ expansion. - Now there is a ~/.joe_state file which stores: all history buffers current keyboard macros yank records - Joe now has xterm mouse support: when enabled, the mouse can position the cursor and select blocks. The mouse wheel will scroll the screen. When enabled, shift-click emulates old xterm mouse behavior (cut & paste between applications). - More syntax files: TeX, CSS, OCaml, Delphi, SML and 4GL. Thanks to all of the contributers. - Vastly improved highlighting of Perl and Shell due to the highlighter now understanding word and balanced delimiters. - Many bugs have been fixed (every bug which has been entered into the sourceforge project page has been addressed). Hopefully I didn't add too many new ones :-) ### JOE 3.1 - Regex and incremental search (jmacs ^S) now work for UTF-8 - More and improved syntax highlighting files, including Mason - Use ^T E to set character set of file (hit <tab> <tab> at the prompt for a list of available character sets). - Can install custom "i18n" style byte oriented character set definition files. - No longer depends on iconv() (easier to compile) - Fix bug where right arrow was not doing right thing on last line - Fix UTF-8 codes between 0x10000 - 0x1FFFF - Now prints <XXXX> for Unicode control characters - Improved smart home, indent, etc. - TAB completion is now more "bash"-like - When multiple files are given on command line, they end up in same order on the screen in JOE (before they were shuffled). - Menu size is now variable (40% of window size or smaller if it's not filled). - Added -icase option for case insensitive search by default. - Added -wrap option, which makes searches wrap - Added status line sequence %x: shows current context (function name if you're editing C). - Added tab completion at search prompts and ESC-Enter for tab completion within text windows. - Warn if file changed on save. - Added Ctrl-space block selection method - Added Ctrl-arrow key block selection method - ^K E asks if you want to load original version of the file - jmacs bugs fixes: uppercase word, transpose words, ^X ^C is more Emacs-like., ^X k and ^X ^V more like Emacs. - Much improved compile system ^[ c - Much improved jpico - Aspell support. ### JOE 3.0 (23 APR 2004) - UTF-8 - Syntax highlighting - Fixed ^C and ^D in shell windows - Auto detect CR-LF (MS-DOS) files - Fixed (or improved, anyway) shell windows for Cygwin - During search & replace, the scroll found text on to screen - File selection window is now 4 lines instead of 1 - David Phillips "smart home" key. - Enhanced ^K , and ^K . - Enhanced overtype mode - Added picture drawing mode (can hit right arrow at ends of lines) - Auto detect preferred indentation character TAB or SPACE ### Overview of changes in JOE 2.9.8 (5 May 2003) - fixed signal handling - return of the context help - fixed segfault when moving rectangular block - code clean up - killed deadlock when reformatting paragraph - fixed skiptop handling - SECURITY: drop suid and sgid bits when creating backup files - fixed segfaults in isalpha()-like functions ### Overview of changes in JOE 2.9.8-pre1 (14 Dec 2001) - BUGFIX: don't exchange start and end point of the block in some cases - defaulting to turn off -asis (locales take care of this;
