  • 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.

  • 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.
