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you can find [here](https://bintray.com/fusion809/AppImages/Geany#files)) but as you might notice it is presently out of date (version 1.28, versus the latest release of 1.29) as the Debian packages (and no this does not mean that this AppImage will only run on Debian systems, it will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 as well) I built it from are presently out-of-date (although no doubt they will be updated soon).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

If a variable name ends with "type", the symbol parser recognizes a symbol which does not exist. As an example, see the following code below:
> procedure plot_labels(iy,iy2: stipint; labtype: stipint);
const
c_marker_type=1;
var
locdbg: boolean;
{actual code}
end;
Which creates two functions: plot_labels (correct) and 1 (this is incorrect). See screenshot below:

The class / method hierarchy in Ruby files is parsed incorrectly if assigning the result of an `if` / `else` block:
After removing the assignment, all methods are grouped under the enclosing class, as expected:
Tested with the very latest state of the `master` branch (as of 2018-01-18), Arch Linux up to date. Might be related to #587.

Geany 1.28 Release (Windows and Linux) and Geany 1.29 and I think also Geany 1.27 and before
Lines that start with ';' are syntax highlighted as comment.
Lines that start with '#' are syntax highlighted as comment.
An entry "key=value" in a line starting with ';' is shown in the symbols list.
An entry "key=value" in a line starting with '#' is not shown in the symbols list.
I attached a small test file test.ini, but I had to rename it to test.ini.txt because github refused to upload test.ini

```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()`.

The menu options
View -> Show Markers Margin
View -> Show Line Numbers
don't control the respective items on the right side split.
You can "unsplit," set the options, and then split again and the new window has the proper appearance.

The [HACKING](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/HACKING) file has this:
> Before the 1.0 release series, the ABI can change when necessary, and
even the API can change.
Obviously Geany has long switched to 1.x versions. Does this text still apply?

Hi!
I would like to propose an enhancement/feature request:
* At the moment the recent files/projects are saved in geany.conf.
* I would like to save geany.conf in a revision control system, so I can share the configuration between different computers.
* The recent files from different computers lead often to merge conflicts of the configuration file.
* E.g. I do this very successfully with vi, one configuration over many computers.
Is is possible, to move the recent files/projects to a separate (local) state file?
Regards,
Mark
