- Paragraph reformatter and word wrap now handle '*' and '-' bullet lists.
- Better internationalization (i18n)
- Multi-file search and replace
- 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
- 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 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.
* 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: upperase 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.
