We are happy to announce a new release of Geany!
For a comprehensive list of changes please see: https://www.geany.org/documentation/releasenotes/
Some highlights:
* Save main and project configuration whenever documents are opened/closed to reduce accidental loss of current session in the event of a crash (can be disabled). * Fix a possible crash when quitting (Hodong & Guido Falsi). * Show OS info in debug messages which can and should be included in bug reports to ease support and debugging. * Update Scintilla to version 3.21.1. * Add BibTeX (Mirco Schoenfeld) and Smalltalk (Snowflake the Pony). * Update FreeBasic, JavaScript (dmitryunruh), Lua (Filip Szymański) and Python filetypes. * Support programming ligatures (like Fira Code font) on Windows. * New translations: ie * Updated translations: da, de, el, es, fr, id, it, ja, lv, nl, pl, pt, ru, sk, sv, zh_CN
This is the last release supporting GTK+2 and Windows i686 binary builds. Starting with the next release, Geany will require GTK3, a C++17 compiler (like GCC 7.3 or Clang 4.0) and Windows binary builds will only be provided for the x86_64 architecture.
We want to thank all developers, translators and everyone who contributed to this release with patches, feedback, bug reports and so on. Thank you!
