jos, Thank you for all your hard work on SciTE4AutoIt3. I strongly agree that there is no need to update the SciTE4AutoIt3 every time there is an incremental change in scintilla. Many of the incremental changes in scintilla have to do with other programming languages or with features that are not used by SciTE4AutoIt3. If users are having an issue with SciTE4AutoIt3, if the issue is due to scintilla, and if a scintilla update will fix the issue, then the update would be worth considering. Otherwise updates should add important functionality. Scintilla supports multiple operating systems, has many developers, has almost as many editors based up SciTE, and has a massive number of users. Most of the scintilla version changes have added major features, improved performance, and/or have made interacting with multiple programming languages more efficient. The jump between scintilla version 3 and version 4 was significant. I again thank you for the extensive work it took to upgrade SciTE4AutoIt3 from version 3 to version 4. I am glad you waited until the more stable version 4.1 was released. Hopefully the jump from version 4 to version 5 will be less work. Reportedly the main new feature of version 5 will be (as you noted) to move the language lexers into a separate (Lexilla) library. Although this is not strictly necessary for SciTE4AutoIt3, I would like to support making the change once a stable version 5 is available. I occasionally use SciTE4AutoIt3 for other programming languages. Moving the lexers out of SciTE4AutoIt3.exe would make it easier for me to add modified lexers for other languages. drposts
