<p class="MsoNormal">The good news: After using SciTE and being quite happy with it, I came across Geany and was quite pleased with the feature set and capabilities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The bad news: My development system at work is running RHEL5, meaning the latest version I can use is 0.20 (IT dictates our development distro)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The worse news: Tags (one of the features I really wanted to use Geany for) cannot be generated- any “geany -g” command dies with a segfault.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The salt in the sound: In the Bugs section of the 0.21 changelog: “Fix generating tag files (-g) and --ft-names segfault”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fortunately, I’ve verified that the below commit can be backported to 0.20 tree and it resolves the issue (built 0.20 branch with this commit cherry-picked; ChangeLog just had to be merged).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also while I was browsing changes I noticed that some fixes were completed after the release of 0.20.0, but there was never any 0.20.1 tag/release.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is it possible to have a 0.20.1 maintenance release for those of us stuck on ancient versions of GTK to get this major feature working again? If not I’ll just use my locally-built copy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
