EditPad Lite full changelog

Improvements:
File Formats: Separate syntax coloring scheme for Visual Basic 14 (Visual Studio 2015) and later that allows strings to span across multiple lines.
File Types: Customizing the same palette multiple times without renaming the new palettes now adds (modied 2), (modified 3), etc. palettes instead of multiple (modified) palettes.
RegexBuddy toolbar icon updated for RegexBuddy 5; the integration is fully compatible with RegexBuddy 4 and 5.
Working copies: Do not save a working copy and remove the previously saved working copy (if any) if a file is empty when the interval to save the working copy has elapsed.
Bug fixes:
Regex: a((?R)|b)c(?1) and (a((?1)|b)c(?2)) triggered access violation errors when trying to match abcabcb due to the (inner) capturing group being entered during the recursion of the whole regex or the call to the parent group during the subroutine call to that same (inner) group.
Working copies: Save working copies at the interval specified in the Save Files Preferences instead of at one minute after the specified interval.

Improvements:
Extra|Statistics now uses the encoding of the default file type rather than the system encoding for its output.
File Types: Markdown Headings Tree file navigation schemes now nest folding ranges for lower level headings inside ranges for higher level headings so the folding of the file corresponds with the folding of the file navigation tree.
The Markdown Headings (without “Tree”) file navigation schemes have not been changed. They still fold the text that immediately follows each heading under that heading, without hiding any following headings, even if those headings are at a deeper level.
Macros menu and Organize Macros dialog now show icons for macros and macro folders.
Tilting the mouse wheel on a mouse that supports mouse wheel tilt now scrolls EditPad’s editor control horizontally.
Two-finger horizontal scroll now works with touchpads that send horizontal mouse wheel messages in response to this gesture.
Bug fixes:
Access violation error when attempting to use the spell checker or open or start a file with live spelling enabled (8.5.x only).
Block|Move Selection did not correctly move a rectangular selection.
Block|Swap Selections failed when the selections to be swapped were rectangular.
File type configuration dialog now disables the option to hide the “unspecified file type” from file type selection lists because many of EditPad’s features assume that they can fall back to the *.* file type at the top of the list.
PHP syntax coloring schemes now only highlight and ’ as escaped characters inside single-quoted strings.
View|Split Editor results in an endless stream of access violation errors when switching between files if one file uses a left-to-right text layout and the other uses a right-to-left text layout.

Improvements:
Default sizes of fonts that can be configured now take into account the “make text bigger” setting in the Accessibility settings in Windows when EditPad is run for the first time.
Default toolbar icon size now takes into account the “make text bigger” setting in the Accessibility settings in Windows when EditPad is run for the first time in order to better balance the size of the toolbar icons with the toolbar font.
Windows 11: Dark window caption bars when using the dark theme.
Bug fixes:
Search: Closing the multi-line Search panel should only reduce the search term to a single line if the Search toolbar with single-line edit controls stays visible.
Undo and Redo buttons and menu items worked on the active editor (which could be the Search or Replace box) rather than the file being edited in 8.5.0 and 8.5.1, contrary to previous versions and contrary to what is explained in the help file. The fix made in 8.5.0 to allow the Undo and Redo commands to work in the small Search and Replace boxes has now been corrected so that the keyboard shortcuts for Undo and Redo work in the small Search and Replace boxes just as they always have in the multi-line Search and Replace boxes.

The editor’s performance while scrolling the text has been improved. You’ll particularly notice this if you have a mouse with a stepless scroll wheel. The editor will now keep up with the wheel no matter how fast you rotate it.

Bug fixes:
· Opening files on UNC paths via the command line or via Windows Explorer failed in version 7.0.5 because EditPad 7.0.5 interpreted UNC paths incorrectly.
· View|Browser: If the default browser did not use DDE, the View|Browser command executed the file to be viewed rather than executing the browser and passing it the file to be viewed.
