Hi,
At the moment Linux users are essentially left to wait until their respective distribution's repositories are updated and the new release of Geany is added. This process is so tedious, however, that for most non-bleeding edge distributions one has to wait months or years for this to happen (by which time usually an even newer release of Geany is out). So what I propose is that you's provide your own AppImages for Geany. AppImages, for those of you that are unaware, are a type of cross-distribution packaging format that need no special tools (like no special package manager to manage the packages) in order to be run. They merely need to be marked executable (with `chmod +x`) and run (with `./<AppImage>` where `<AppImage>` is the AppImage's filename, including its file extension). They are essentially self-mounting image files with an internal file system that contains all the files required to run the program they provide (which in this case would be Geany, of course).
I have created my own AppImage for Geany (which you can find [here](https://bintray.com/fusion809/AppImages/Geany#files)) but as you might notice it is presently out of date (version 1.28, versus the latest release of 1.29) as the Debian packages (and no this does not mean that this AppImage will only run on Debian systems, it will run on Arch Linux, Fedora, Gentoo, openSUSE, etc. as well) I built it from are presently out-of-date (although no doubt they will be updated soon). Plus my AppImage is built using Debian (Jessie) ingredients so it doesn't work on systems older than Jessie, while it is possible that you's could create a more flexible AppImage. You's could use your Travis CI artefacts instead of the Debian packages I use to build the AppImage, hence providing the very latest (more up-to-date than I could ever hope to provide) build of Geany. The way I uploaded my Geany AppImage to Bintray is using Travis CI, so they both easily integrated with one another. Alternatively you could upload the AppImages to the releases page of this GitHub repository.
If you need help with this I am more than willing to help, although I do believe @probonopd will be far more helpful than I, due to his superior knowledge of AppImages (after all he is the one that created the format).
Thanks for your time,
Brenton

```C++
namespace ns {
class C {
void f( // when typing the ( the calltip says "ns::C::f (junk, rubbish)"
public:
C(junk, rubbish){}
~C(){}
};
};
```
Yep, takes the parameters for the constructor and it uses that as the prototype for the new function that doesn't exist yet.
And ... if there happen to be other functions named `f` the calltips will cycle through the prototypes of those functions and never come back to the erroneous one.
Seems like some extraneous function definition is being made for the calltip. But it never appears in the symbol list. Like as if something is scanning for the ) and using the parameter list immediately before it, ignoring the `public: C(`. But what, its not the parser because the symbol doesn't show in the sidebar?

geany version - 1.29
Most of the function declarations in glibc header files are marked with __THROW.
Geany cannot identify or incorrectly identifies these functions.
(sample files /usr/include/pthread.h, /usr/include/unistd.h).

I prefer that the terminal doesn't use bold fonts when printing characters with bold or highlight attribute since it's easier to my eyes.
This patch allows VTE to be configured that way through `vte_terminal_set_allow_bold()`.

This would allow us to force Geany to not open a new instance even
if no file arguments are passed in the command-line.
Some tweaks were also added so that the current instance window would
activate itself even if no new file arguments are specified whenever
this option is used.
This is useful if we want to make sure that we always only have a single instance. And also so we can have easy shortcuts to switch from a virtual terminal to the editor, like this function: `w() { geany -I "$@"; }`,

Bash allows more characters besides `[[:alnum:]_]` when declaring
function names using the `function` keyword. It also does not require
having a pair of parentheses after the name. Some shells may actually
implement it differently but we don't have to be that strict since the
user explicitly specifies the `function` keyword anyway.
This update implements the ones described above, and also invalidates
function names that are completely made up of digits.

The ways on how a "folder name string" should be created and compared is divided in many parts of `get_doc_parent()` and the functions it call. One is from `get_folder_name()` itself, another is from `find_tree_iter_dir()` (`if (utils_str_equal(dir, ".")) dir = GEANY_STRING_UNTITLED;`), and another in the assignment of the item to `store_openfiles` (`DOCUMENTS_SHORTNAME, doc->file_name ? dirname : GEANY_STRING_UNTITLED`).
The ambiguity causes issues like having multiple parents in the Documents list that has the name `.` when the filename has a basename but not a directory name. This can be done by creating multiple new files with a template.
This patch is basically an overhaul to fix the ambiguity, and the issue is fixed along with it. If `get_folder_name()` is shared and used somewhere else besides `sidebar.c`, it would no longer require a wrapper just to make the returned string consistent.
