- VERSION 1.19 May 21 1997
- VERSION 1.18 May 17 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1.19 FIX: codepage 437 bug
- 1.19 FIX: filters in Fileselector-Paths could overwrite backup
- path
-
- WEB: new versions of MrED can be downloaded from the MrED Homepage:
-
- http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/matthias_pfersdorff/
-
- NEW: The function "Find in files" is used mainly to search for a string
- in files, that are *not* loaded in the editor (like grep at the
- command line) and to generate a color coded result list. For
- instance, "Find in files" can give you a quick overview, where and
- how often calls to a C-function are made in all source files
- of a project, without having to load all files in the editor.
-
- However, there is an option, that allows you to search only
- in the textbuffers to generate the result list.
-
- More options and features:
- --------------------------
-
- - "regular expressions", "whole words only" and "ignore case"
- capabilities like the normal Find function.
-
- - the result list may contain the textlines with line numbers
- or the filenames only, in which the target string was found.
-
- - autoload files, in which the target string was found.
- Optional you may be asked before the files are loaded.
-
- - recursive search in subfolders. When the MrED Project-Manager
- is implemented, there will be an option, to search only in
- project folders.
-
- - the result list can automatically be cleared before the next
- search, or extended by the result of the next search.
-
- - saving the result list
-
- - userdefined filters and paths (same as in the file selector)
-
- - display the number of strings/lines/files that were found
-
- - copy the active line of the result list to the system
- clipboard ([CTRL+Ins])
-
- - doubleclicking the active line of the result list loads
- the file (if not already loaded) and jumps to the line/col,
- where the string was found.
-
- - configurable result list font (drag'n'drop)
-
- Note:
- -----
- The "Find in files" dialog is not modal and can be resized.
- The dialog has an entry in the OS/2 window list.
-
- (s. menu "Search->Find in files...")
-
-
- NEW: The Section Display has been moved to a combobox in the
- toolbar. The combobox dropdown list contains the section
- names of the active textbuffer and can be used instead
- of the Section Browser in many cases. The combobox
- entryfield can be used for incremental search.
-
- The dropdown list can be activated with the default
- key [F12]. You can change this key in med.kbd for
- the function name "sectionCombo".
- The dropdown list can be closed without a selection
- by pressing [ESC] or [F12].
-
- The position and size of the combobox is calculated automatically
- when the application main window is resized. Some toolbar icons
- may be hidden to provide enough space for the combobox. If you
- are using a toolbar with many icons, you should increase
- the toolbar's height in the "Settings" notebook, page "Toolbar/Size".
- If you don't like the combobox, you can switch it off in the
- toolbar's context menu (activated by a click with the right mouse
- button on a free spot in the toolbar).
-
- The combobox font can be changed via drag&drop: the font must
- be dropped on a free spot in the toolbar, not on the combobox
- itself!
-
- Note:
- -----
- The Section Display combobox is not availible in vertical toolbars.
-
-
-
- NEW: Picking a filename from a textbuffer and loading the file in a
- new buffer. If the filename contains a relative path (or no path),
- the file is searched relative to the path of the text,
- from which the filename was taken.
- This feature is very useful to quick access include files:
- place the cursor anywhere to the include filename and then press
- [CTRL+KO] or doubleclick with the left mousebutton while
- pressing [CTRL+ALT].
- (s. menu "File->Open...->Pick filename from textbuffer")
-
-
- NEW: Skeleton File support. A skeleton file is loaded automatically
- when a new textbuffer is created or an empty file is opened.
- This is useful for setting up a standard header in a new
- file. Skeleton files must be located in the MrED
- configuration directory (this is where med.cfg resides)
- and have a filename like this:
-
- skeleton.X
-
- The X substitutes any file extension. The extension is used to
- determine the skeleton file to be loaded.
-
- Examples:
- ---------
-
- skeleton.c -> is loaded when a new C source file is opened
- skeleton.pas -> is loaded when a new Pascal source file is opened
-
- NEW: MS Windows Codepage support:
-
- - convert text from OS/2 default codepage to MS Windows codepage
- and vice versa (menu "Edit->Text->Convert codepage")
-
- - activate MS Windows codepage for displaying/editing text
- (menu "Window->Codepage")
-
- If a MS Windows text is to be edited, you can activate the
- MS Windows codepage (in case the text is still used under
- Windows) or you can convert the text to the OS/2 default codepage
- (in case the text is used only under OS/2).
-
-
- NEW: Window Monitor option "Sort by filename"
- (s. "Settings->Window Monitor")
-
- NEW: "Capitalize block" function transforms the first character of all
- words in a block to upper case. The remainder will be converted
- to lower case.
- (s. menu "Block->Convert->Capitalize block")
-
-
- NEW: "Fill block" function fills a block with a requested character.
- If no character is entered, the block is filled with spaces.
- (s. menu "Block->Convert->Fill block")
-
- NEW: Commandline option "-m macroName1[;macroName2;...]" launches
- one or more macros after all files have been loaded at
- program startup.
-
- Note:
- -----
- The name of a macro can be entered in the Macro Recorder
- or the Macro Manager (button "Edit").
-
-
- NEW: "indent/unIndent/indentBlk/unIndentBlk" functions operating on a
- single line or a line/column block.
- Instead of tab positions, the word positions in the lines
- above the current line/block are used to calculate the
- indenting positions, until the first visible line of the window
- is reached.
-
- The line/block is indented/unindented at the current cursor
- position.
-
- Example: Indent line
- --------
-
- printf("hello\n"); // Hello
- for(;;)
- printf("world!\n");// World
- ^
- |
- cursor position before Indent
-
- .
- .
- printf("world!\n"); // World
- ^
- |
- cursor position after first Indent
-
- .
- .
- printf("world!\n"); // World
- ^
- |
- cursor position after 2nd Indent
-
-
- (s. menu "Edit->Line->Indent/Unindent" and
- menu "Block->Indent/Unindent")
-
-
- NEW: if the screen resolution has changed, MrED automatically restores
- default values for size/position/font of the main window and
- the configurable dialogs.
-
- Note:
- -----
- This default values can be restored anytime by pressing
- [SHIFT+CTRL] during startup of MrED.
-
-
- NEW: path definitions may now contain environment variables
- (userdefined paths of the fileselector, backup paths, tool path,
- tool working directory). An environment variable is denoted by
- a '%' character as pre- and postfix.
-
- Example:
- --------
- %TMP%\backups
-
- NEW: the Fileselector now accepts any filter in the filename entryfield.
- Type in a filter and press [CTRL+Return] to activate it. The filter
- is *not* inserted into the userdefined filter list (menu "Filter"
- of the fileselector menubar). This helps to keep the userdefined
- list clean of rare used filters.
-
- After functions that call the fileselector with a special
- filter (like *.mac when saving or loading macros), the
- last used filter is restored.
-
- NEW: a column block can now also be marked with [SHIFT+ALT+PgUp] and
- [SHIFT+ALT+PgDown].
-
- NEW: the Window Monitor may optionally be added to the OS/2
- window list.
- (s. notebook "Settings->Window Monitor")
-
- NEW: the Tool Output window may optionally be added to the OS/2
- window list.
- (s. notebook "Tool Configuration->Options")
-
- NEW: the textwindow's context menu can be opened by pressing
- [SHIFT+F10].
-
- NEW: option "Go to next line when reaching end of line". This option
- configures the [Right Arrow] cursor movement. If enabled,
- the cursor is placed to the start of the next line when the
- end of a line is reached. If not enabled, the cursor can be
- moved past the end of a line (default).
- (s. notebook "Settings->Edit")
-
- NEW: the wordwrap function now has private word separators. The
- word separators define the positions, where a line may be
- wrapped. By default, there is only the space character
- in the word separator list.
- (s. notebook "Settings->Edit->Word wrapping")
-
- CHG: "Save/Restore cursor position" now operates global (like Anchors).
-
- CHG: the WORDSTAR-like key combinations don't need the modifier
- key to be still pressed, when the second key of the key combination
- is pressed.
-
- Example: [CTRL+KB]
- --------
- You can press [CTRL+K], release [CTRL] and the press [B].
-
- CHG: labels of network drives are no longer displayed in the
- fileselector drive list.
-
- CHG: the macro recorder preserves the last used key combination
- for a recorded macro.
-
- CHG: better error message handling for file operations.
-
- CHG: improved performance of block operations.
-
- CHG: "Jump to section" now searches the active buffer first.
-
- FIX: arranging the textwindows (cascade, tile) restores the state
- of the maximize button in the window titlebar.
-
- FIX: the "modified" state of a buffer is restored, when Undo
- is called after a file has been saved.
-
- FIX: bug in "on the fly" syntax type switching.
-
- FIX: line spacing in Formatted Printing is now calculated correct.
- This bug caused underscores to be overwritten by the following
- line under special circumstances.
-
- FIX: mouse blockmarking now works correct in the first columns when
- line numbering is enabled.
-
- FIX: macro playback bug in "Auto block unmarking" mode.
-
- FIX: EOL comments in syntax highlighting work now correct with
- comCol > 0.
-
- FIX: minor bug in notebook "Settings" when scrolling through the
- pages in reverse order.
-
-

- VERSION 1.17 12 Febuary 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- NEW: Syntax Highlighting now supports color coding of integer numbers.
- The following optional keywords can be used in "med.syn" for
- configuration (decimal numbers are always recognized):
-
- Keywords:
- =========
-

- Commando | Parameter
- ---------+----------------------------------------
- EDIT | filename1 [filename2]...[filenameN]
- GOTO | line [col]
- SAYERROR | errorMsg
-
- MrED's default DDE server name is "MRED". If a client does
- not support configuration of the server name, you can
- change MrED's server name. To get full DDE compatibility
- to EPM, just set MrED's sever name to "EPM".
- (see notebook "Settings", page "DDE")
-
- NEW: the Window Monitor now provides an option
- "Insert new window after current window". If this option is
- enabled, the name of a new window will *not* be inserted at the
- end of the Window Monitor.
-
- NEW: Syntax Highlighting for 80x86 assembler and Clipper
- (see syntax configuration file "med.syn")
-
- NEW: the word wrap function can be configured in "med.syn".
- The following keyword can be used once per file section:
-
- wordWrap: current [col] | on [col] | off | disabled
-
- "current" leaves the word wrap mode (on/off) untouched, but
- sets optionally the word wrap column to column "col".
-
- "on" explicitly switches the word wrap function on and
- sets optionally the word wrap column to column "col".
-
- "off" explicitly switches the word wrap function off.
- However, it can be switched on when needed.
-
- "disabled" explicitly switches the word wrap function off
- and disables it, so it can't be switched on erratically.
-
- (see syntax configuration file "med.syn")
-
- NEW: A mouse click in the character code display toggles the display
- mode (decimal/hex).
-
- A mouse click in the line/column display brings up the
- "Goto line" dialog.

- can be changed via Drag&Drop. The width of the line numbering area can
- also be configured.
- (s. menu "Options", "Line numbering" and
- notebook "Settings", page "Window - Controls")
-
- NEW: configurable Autosave function saves modified files after a specified
- number of changes or a specified amount of time. The backup file is
- saved in a special directory with the file name extended by "~sav"
- on HPFS respective "~" on FAT drives.
- (see notebook "Settings", page "Autosave")
-
- NEW: graphic drawing function. The default drawing keys are
- [Ctrl+Alt+CurLeft|CurRight|CurUp|CurDown].

- "More..." is created. The File History may now have up to 40
- entries.
- (s. notebook "Settings", page "Misc")
-
- NEW: the Tool Manager can now handle the buggy path outputs of the
- GNU C++ compiler (double backslashes).
-
- NEW: in dialog "Print (formatted)" the name of the current printer font
- is displayed.

- spooled) page is displayed in the text window titlebar.
-
- NEW: formatted printing can be aborted by pressing the [ESC] key.
-
- NEW: the initial window layout can be configured (cascade, maximize).
- (s. notebook "Settings", page "Startup")
-
- CHG: the internal memory management now produces less overhead. This leads

-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- VERSION 1.14 1 October 1996
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- NEW: hypertext section searching. Set the cursor to a sections
- reference (for example a call to a C-function)
- and then call "Find section" or press [CNTRL + Return]. This
- will search the function declaration in the buffers first, and then
- in the files of the working directory. A feature to define specific
- directories to search will be implemented in the next version
- of MrED (project management). Also a "ctags" compatible index file
- is planned.
-
- NEW: auto file load on startup. The names of the current used files
- are saved in the file "med.lru" when MrED shuts down and
- reloaded automatically when MrED is started again. "med.lru"
- can be saved in the current working directory (local) or
- in the MrED configuration directory (global).
-
- Auto load can be skipped by pressing the [CNTRL]-key during
- startup.
-
- (see notebook "Settings", page "Startup")

-
- NEW: option of scrolling the text via the sliders while the cursor
- remains in the same location in the window.
- (see notebook "Settings", page "Cursor")
-
- NEW: matching strings are underlined green by the "Find..." function.
-
- NEW: reloading "med.syn" without leaving MrED
- ("Options->Reload syntax configuration")
-
- NEW: "Undo" sets the state of a buffer to "not modified" when all
- modifications are reverted. Note that the undo queue has
- a limited size, so you not always will get back to the inital
- state of a buffer.
-
- NEW: commands to delete blanks left/right the current cursor postion
- up the next character.
- ("Edit->Line->Delete blanks left" and
- "Edit->Line->Delete blanks right")
-
- NEW: a click with the left mouse button while pressing [SHIFT]
- relocates the end of a block.
-
- NEW: "Select all" command in the "Block" menu.
-

- or the clippboard is inserted. This feature is availible only
- in the "Auto block unmarking" mode.
- (see notebook "Settings", page "Edit")
-
- NEW: the status of the "Save" option in the dialog "Set bookmark" is
- now part the MrED configuration. With this option activated
- the bookmark list would grow permanently. To prevent this,
- the maximum count of bookmarks to be saved can be defined.
-
- NEW: "Ping-Pong" bookmark functions, that do not call the bookmark
- dialogs.
-
- Example:
- --------
- Set the cursor to line 20 and call "Save cursor position". Then
- scroll to line 100 and call "Restore cursor position". The cursor
- jumps to line 20. Now call "Restore cursor position" again and
- the cursor jumps back to line 100. The next call will jump
- to line 20 and so on....
-
- (s. menu "Edit", "Save/Restore cursor position")
-
- NEW: a list of characters can be defined, which will cause the word
- wrap function to begin a new paragraph, in case one of this
- characters appears in the first column of a line.
- (see notebook "Settings",
- page "Edit->Word wrap->Paragraph separators")
-
- NEW: the default mouse pointer in text windows now is the "I-beam".
- The mouse pointer type can be changed to "arrow".
- (see notebook "Settings", page "Mouse->Mouse pointer")
-

-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- VERSION 1.12 8 July 1996
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- NEW: registering via BMT Micro
-
- NEW: new program icon (32x32 and 40x40).
-
- NEW: an EPM keyboard configuration file "epm.kbd" is supplied. Rename this
- file to "med.kbd" to use it as the default keyboard configuration.
-
- NEW: up to 99 backups per file. In multiple mode, current date and time
- are added to a file name when a backup is created. Thus this
- feature is availible only for filesystems, that support long
- filenames (HPFS, EXT2FS). Multiple backup mode is ignored on
- FAT drives.
- (Notebook "Settings", page "Load/Save")
-
- NEW: Search and Replace now support regular expressions.
-
- Example:
- ---------
- Search string: oldfoo\(([^ ,]*), ([^\)]*)\)
- Replace string: newfoo(\2, \1, FALSE)
-
- This will find occurences of the subroutine "oldfoo", reverse the first
- and second parameters, add a third parameter of FALSE, and change
- the name to "newfoo".
-
- NEW: Section-Browser and Section-Display:
-
- Section-Browser
- ===============
- is a dialog, which displays all sections of a file. A section may be
- a subroutine of a programming language, a paragraph of a TeX dokument,
- entries of config.sys etc..
- Sections are located using a regular expression which can be adapted
- for any type of file. MrED provides an internal parser for
- C/C++ files, so the regular expression is not necessary for this
- type of file. If the regular expression is defined for C/C++, the
- internal parser is disabled.
-
- The regular expression is defined in "med.syn".
-
- Example:
- --------
-
- sectionRegexp: :[Hh][0-9]
-
- This defines the regular expression to locate paragraphs of
- IPF/IPP documents.
-
-
- The following entries in "med.syn" are used for further
- configuration of the Section-Browser:
-
- sectionDisplayRegexp: (:[Hh][0-9][ ]*)(res=[0-9]*\.)[ ]*(.*)
-
- This regular expression is used to subdivide a section head
- into several data fields, which can be displayed in any
- order in the Section-Browser (or the Section-Display).
-
- sectionBrowserOrder: 1, 2
-
- This defines the order, in which the data fields are displayed
- in the Section Browser.
-
- sectionBrowserMainKey: 2
-
- This defines the data field by which the section headers are
- sorted.
-
-
- Section-Display
- ===============
-
- Optionally, the name of the section in which the cursor currently
- resides, can be displayed in the status bar.
-
-
- The following entries in "med.syn" configure the Section-Display:
-
- sectionDisplayRegexp: (:[Hh][0-9][ ]*)(res=[0-9]*\.)[ ]*(.*)
-
- This regular expression is used to subdivide a section head
- into several data fields, which can be displayed in any
- order in the Section Display (or the Section Browser).
-
- sectionDisplayOrder: 2
-
- This defines the order, in which the data fields are displayed
- in the Section Display.
-
-
- sectionDisplay: 5000, 1000
-
- The first parameter defines how many lines a file may contain
- before the Section Display is disabled in order to avoid
- a loss of editing performance. A value of 0 disables
- the Section Display.
-
- The second parameter defines how many lines may be searched
- for a section header starting at the current cursor position.
-
- NEW: The keys [ALT + PageUp] and [ALT+ PageDown] can be used to jump to
- the previos/next section of a file (the Section Display must be

- color: blue, boldUnderline, darkblue, bold
-
- For video display output, any (defined) color can be used in combination
- with the font attributes "bold", "underline" and "boldUnderline".
-
