<p>I would agree with your suggestion to just manually upgrading from Scintilla 3 to Scintilla 5 first, without any changes to process.</p>
<p>Don't even worry about  changing the upgrade scripts and stuff to do that major upgrade, its only happening once, just get the first Scintilla 5 Geany working manually, then modify/create scripts to suit a process of small upgrades, hopefully huge upgrades like this will be rare (pending Neil adopting C++20 <g-emoji class="g-emoji" alias="open_mouth" fallback-src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/1f62e.png">😮</g-emoji> )</p>
<p>I am not sure if I will be personally much help, having never done a Scintilla upgrade either, but will try time permitting, and hopefully more experienced heads will chime in.</p>
