Changed: Replaced JDK 5.0 API help index with JDK 6.0 API help index.

Changes for build 881 - 16 September 2007

Fixed: Regular expression access violation.

Changes for build 881 - 16 September 2007

Fixed: Regular expression access violation.

Changes for build 880 - 18 June 2007

Added: Limited support for syntax coloring Ruby files in SitePad Pro. No auto indent. No auto completing.
Added: IDE to the windows firewall.
Changed: Cleaned up the Trial and Register dialogs. Also changed requests for license via email to be web based.
Fixed: XPath does not work for some xml files.

Changes for build 879 - 11 June 2007

Fixed: The generate JavaDoc script does not quote paths and replace backslashes with forward slashes for files that contain spaces in the path.
Fixed: LoadKeywords can fail during startup.

Changes for build 878 - 24 May 2007

Fixed: Background highlight of scripts in HTML/XML documents shows a ragged block when a line length is less than the block indent. The block indent is now shown as if the line length is at least as long as the block indent.
Fixed: Application.getNextKey() does not return an UNICODE value when translate is true. GetNextKey() will now return a string of length 1 when translate is set to true. If translate is not true the value returned is a virtual key code as a number.
Fixed: Opening a solution or project will always show the workspace panel even if the user has hidden the workspace panel.
Fixed: Spell dialog button "Ignore all" does not work for words with mixed case and numbers.
Changed: Added Text and Document filters to the Spell Check Options. If a selection is active, Spell check will check all words regardless of the document filters. If there is no selection, Spell check will only check words that are not filtered by the document filter.
Changed: Removed the dialog asking if you want to check the rest of the document when Spell check has finished checking a selection. To Spell check the whole document remove the selection before Spell check.

Changes for build 877 - 2 Nov 2006

Fixed: HTML documents may not work with IE 7 due to additional security restrictions in IE 7.

Changes for build 876 - 1 Nov 2006

Fixed: HTML dialogs may not work with IE 7 due to additional security restrictions in IE 7.
Fixed: The runApplication script can fail for some projects.

Changes for build 875 - 17 Sept 2006

Changed: Updated Regular Expression library.
Changed: Rebuilt releases using Version 8 tools.
Changed: JPad Pro version number (6.5) to match SitePad Pro.
Changed: JPad Pro 6+ now requires Windows 2000 or later.
Changed: Dropped JPad Pro international edition. The standard edition is now compiled with Unicode support.
Fixed: Updated generateJavadoc script. Thanks to Daniel Wilkin.

Changes for build 874 - 13 March 2006

Fixed: The Bookmark toolbar is not activated correctly when it is first shown.
Fixed: Opening a *.class file will decompiled the file if Jad is installed but the decompiled source file is not opened in an editor.
Fixed: Typo in Java/smartComplete line 623.
Fixed: The search in project option should be unchecked when there is no project or solution open.

Changes for build 873 - 1 March 2006

Fixed: SitePad Pro 7 (beta) will not run Java applications.

Changes for build 872 - 28 February 2006

Fixed: Application.showUrl is not working.
Changed: The current MDI tab label is now in bold and inactive tab labels are dimmed.
Added: Preference "Highlight current tab". This option lets you control the background color of the current MDI tab. If it is off then the background color of the current MDI tab will be the default button color. If it is on then the background color of the current MDI tab will be the "background current tab" color.
Added: Color "background current tab".
Changed: The View/Syntax Color... menu item to just View/Colors...

Changes for build 871 - 12 February 2006

Fixed: The notification "editor.closed" is not being sent when the last editor is closed.
Fixed: The Bookmark toolbar is not being activated and deactivated correctly.
Fixed: Starting an async command when the async command is already running can cause the IDE to exit without warning.

Changes for build 870 - 2 February 2006

Added: SitePad Pro: JavaScript lint script in @Tools II/JavaScript/jslint.script. This script can be used to check *.js, *.script, and *.html based files that contain JavaScript.
Fixed: 'list' is undefined in @Tools/Java/Jdk/Debugger/OnBreakpointHit at line 62.

Changes for build 869 - 24 January 2006

Fixed: The double slash as an EOL comment is not part of the spec for a CSS file. The double slash has been removed as the EOL comment. BTW: Mozilla does process the double slash as a comment but IE does not.
Fixed: The Dash include statement does not find a simple file (e.g., settings.script) in the same directory as the Dash file being processed.
Fixed: Find in files will skip files if the IDE does not know if the file is a text file. This feature was implemented to prevent searching image and other binary files. However, it will also skip valid text files if they are not known to the IDE. This filter has been relaxed to only filter out known binary files if you are using a wild card file type filter. If you specify a file type of *.xyz and if the IDE does not know *.xyz, then it will now be assumed to be a text file and searched. However, if you specify *.* for the file type and you are searching a directory that contains *.zip files then these files will not be searched because the IDE knows that they are not text files.
Fixed: SitePad Pro 7 does not initialize correctly in some environments.
Fixed: Builds 863 to 868 inadvertently initialized some Internet Explorer COM interfaces (such as IHTMLDocument). These interfaces are typically used to Automate IE from another process. To reset these interfaces back to their initial state run "regsvr32 mshtml.dll" from a command prompt.

Changes for build 868 - 15 January 2006

Fixed: Auto indent in a HTML file following a new line after entering multiple tags will not be correct until you use Edit/Reindent. For example, typing '<h2>A Title</h2>' and then pressing Enter, results in an auto indent that is one tab too short.
Fixed: The first statement after a script tag in a HTML document is indented one level too many.
Fixed: It is possible to open two MapFiles to the same file. This can cause loss of changes made to data in the MapFile when the MapFile is saved twice with potentially different data. The most common use of MapFiles is to store user preferences and configuration data.
Fixed: Auto indent in HTML based files can be confused by not matching ignored open tags correctly.
Added: Focus on Code and Focus on Content context menu commands. Focus on Code is the default. If Focus on Code is off then script blocks will not be background highlighted. If Focus on Content is on, then text within script blocks will set to the "de-emphasis" syntax color (default value is gray).
Changed: Check Syntax and Configure commands in the Tools menu for HTML files have been replaced by the Validate command. The Validate command calls the validate script in @Tools/Html which in turn invokes a customized version of HTML Tidy.
Changed: The JavaScript editor now has support for JSON. JSON stands for "JavaScript Object Notation" and is a lightweight computer data interchange format. It can be used in place of XML and for storing JavaScript objects to a file.
Fixed: Find matching delimiter now ignores delimiters specified in JavaScript regular expressions (e.g., var re = /[\{\(]+/g). Fixed: Attempting to open a file from a CD, or any device that does not store 'create' or 'access' dates for files, can cause an invalid parameter message.
Added: getScriptObject(path) will now work for *.js file type. IMPORTANT: SitePad Pro will first attempt to open the *.js file as a .NET script. Only if that fails will the .js file be opened as an ActiveX script. For best performance we recommend that you move *.js code to *.script file or that you make sure that the *.js file will compile correctly with the js .NET compiler. This does not apply to *.js files included in html based files.
Added: Edit As... editor context menu to change the editor that is being used to edit a file. The Edit As... command will show the Open As... dialog and then reopen the file using the new editor.
Changed: Choosing a file type when in the Open As... dialog will be saved in preferences if the "Apply to all files of this type" setting is checked.

Changes for build 866-867 - 9 November 2005

Added: Print button to help pages.
Fixed: The scroll bar for editors with a preview (e.g., html files) does not work correctly.
Fixed: The Recent Files menu does not disable menu items that are not accessible.

Changes for build 865 - 2 November 2005

Fixed: The File Associations... command takes too long to open its dialog.
Fixed: Embedded Freemarker tags within HTML tags are not correctly syntax colored.
Changed: Updated the Freemarker keyword data file.

Changes for build 864 - 27 October 2005

Fixed: The Reindent command does not wrap the individual indent commands in a single Reindent undo command.
Added: The class view now parses more file types including derived file types.
Fixed: Duplicate classpath items can be included on the generated command line for Java.

Changes for build 863 - 23 October 2005

Added: StopCommand script object. The StopCommand object puts a Stop command on the kill stack and activates the Stop button on the main toolbar. Use Application.newStopCommand() to create. Use stopCommand.continueOperation() to continue. If the user has canceled the command this method will return false. To remove the Stop command call stopCommand.clear(). If you do not call clear() the Stop command will not be removed from the stop stack until the object is deleted. The StopCommand should be used in cases where killing a script running its own thread may result in an indeterminate state. For examples, see the Replace in files, Replace in windows, and Find in windows scripts.
Added: Stop menu in the Tools menu. The Stop menu lets you kill any task that is on the stop stack. The top item on the stop stack can be killed by clicking on the Stop button on the main toolbar.
Changed: Replace all, Replace in files, Replace in windows, and Find in windows will now activate the Stop button.
Fixed: Replace All that has a new line '\n' in the replace expression can go into an infinite loop.
Added: Check for Updates in the Help menu.

Changes for build 862 - 17 October 2005

Fixed: The BSD and K&R style option in the Tab Options dialog does not work on new installations.

Changes for build 861a - 13 October 2005

Fixed: The antBuild script has an extra false parameter in a writeLine method on line 70. This causes an error when the script is run.

Changes for build 861 - 12 October 2005

Added: Support for BSD and K&R style braces in Smartkeys. To activate see View/Tab Options...
Fixed: List.addTailUnique() does not work if the duplicate item is not at the bottom of the list.

Changes for build 860 - 9 October 2005

Fixed: Editing JavaScript in a HTML page can occasionally cause an access violation when inserting a new line.
Fixed: Horizontal auto scroll in editors does not work correctly.

Changes for build 859 - 7 October 2005

Test release.

Changes for build 858 - 5 October 2005

Fixed: An error in a script that calls Application.lockWorkspacePanelUpdate(true) will cause the workspace panel to stop responding until Application.lockWorkspacePanelUpdate(false) is called.
Fixed: The editor window is not always updated correctly when the ruler is visible and an edit operation causes the a change in the number of digits required to display line numbers (e.g., pasting 5 lines in an editor with 98 lines). This bug was introduced in build 850 when timers were removed from the display update process.
Changed: The new Java file dialog will now disable the Create Untitled button if a template is selected selected by the user in the File/New dialog.
Fixed: There is a typo in line 145 of the onPreferences script which can cause the preferences dialog to be displayed incorrectly.
Changed: Java.createJavaFile() now returns an editor object rather than a file object.

Changes for build 857 - 1 October 2005

Fixed: AddJars function in Library/jdkUtilities will search all subdirectories when looking for jars to add in the classpath. This is not a problem for most folders, but if the classpath is a root drive (such as C:\\) this can be a problem. The AddJars function now only searches for jars to add in the classpath folder and not in subfolders.

Changes for build 856 - 29 September 2005

Fixed: The fix for chooseNewFileName in build 855 breaks save as.

Changes for build 855 - 29 September 2005

Fixed: Standard built-in named directories (e.g., @Tools II) are not valid in startup scripts the first time the application is initialized.
Changed: onPostSaveFile has been changed to onFileSaved.
Fixed: The method chooseNewFileName, used in creating a new Java Applet, does not work correctly if the file type is not appended when entering a new file name.

Changes for build 854 - 27 September 2005

Added: Named directory support for project editing.
Added: Help button in the Project Add Build/Edit Build dialogs.

Changes for build 853 - 26 September 2005

Added: openLog, closeLog and writeLog methods to the Output object. When a log file has been opened it records all data written to the output. In addition, you can use writeLog to write additional data to the log that is not shown in the output. The primary purpose of the log methods are to allow details about a build to be recorded and accessible, yet not show all of the generated output during a build.
Fixed: Scripts that call other scripts using getScriptObject() and that are run async can cause a memory leak.
Changed: Using the backspace to delete indent space before the first character of a line will now delete a tab length of spaces if spaces are being used for indenting.
Added: File.getFullPathFromEnvironmentPath(fileName). This method returns the full path to a file for the first directory in which the file exists in the directories specified in the Environment's PATH variable. If the fileName is not found then an empty string is returned.
Fixed: The project support in build 852 is broken due to a change in the way that directories were calculated. This caused classpaths and other directory calculations to be wrong.

Changes for build 852 - 17 September 2005

Fixed: Creating a new editor displays the new window twice when the default window is maximized. Bug introduced in build 850.
Fixed: Double clicking to select a word in an output panel does not make that panel the active editor. Note that if the double click is on a line that is hyperlinked then the active editor will be the target of the hyperlink.

Changes for build 851 - 14 September 2005

Fixed: The editor scrollbar is not correctly updated. Bug introduced in build 850.

Changes for build 850 - 13 September 2005

Fixed: Saving changes to a script does not always cause the script to be reloaded the next time it is run.
Fixed: Using the left arrow key to scroll backwards on a long line causes the scroll position to jump 0 when the scroll bar needs to be adjusted.
Fixed: Removed timers used for updating the ruler and for updating the output panels and toolbars. These messages were causing the IDE to process messages even when the IDE was not active. After the initial burst of window messages for each activity, build 850 should only be processing the caret blink message (a SysTimer message ID 0x0118) if an editor is active a few times a second. If an item in the workspace panel is selected there should be no messages being processed.
Fixed: The active editor window is not updated correctly when turning on the character ruler.

Changes for build 849 - 5 September 2005

Fixed: Undoing a large number of changes to a document can occasionally cause an access violation.
Fixed: The indent case statement option for visual basic indents two levels instead of one level. This causes all subsequent statements following the end select statement to be indented one additional level.
Changed: The indent level for scripts in compound documents (e.g., jsp, php, ...) now indents from the current context rather than the opening context. The current context is the current block statement or a continuation of the current block statement. If there is no current context then the indent level uses the indent level of the script tag as the current context.
Added: Validate script for HTML in SitePad Pro. To use just open a HTML based file (e.g., html, asp, jsp, php) and then run the validate script in @Tools/Misc. The validate script uses a special edition of HTML Tidy located in @Application/Ide/Programs. The validate script does not modify your data and only generates a list of warnings and errors.

Changes for build 848 - 29 August 2005

Fixed: Removed unneeded timer used for updating the MDI tab windows. The timer was causing the IDE to process messages even when the IDE was not active. Build 848 should only be processing the caret blink messages (a SysTimer and two MDIGetActive) at the rate that the caret is blinking if an editor is active. If an item in the workspace panel is selected there should be no messages being processed. The output panels and toolbars still use a timer message which generates about 6-8 messages (NCHitTest, Timer, and MDIGetActive) for each caret blink.

Changes for build 847 - 29 August 2005

Fixed: View/Preferences will cause a crash when you click OK.

Changes for build 846 - 28 August 2005

Fixed: The HelloWorld example template for Java does not generate correct code.
Changed: JPad Pro and SitePad Pro now contain the JDK 1.5.0 MINDS index for Java.
Fixed: Opening an editor hidden will cause the menu bar to be updated to the hidden editor. This in turn will cause dynamic menus (such as the ones in the Project and JDK menus) to be disabled until a visible editor is activated. It also incurs a performance hit when opening a large number of editors hidden since the UI will need to be updated for each editor opened.
Added: "Translate paths in output to named directory paths" option in View/ Preferences. The default value of this option is true.
Changed: Output.write and Output.writeLine methods now take a second optional translate parameter. The default value of translate is true. If translate is on then paths included in the data being written will be translated to named directory paths.
Changed: Replaced Output.writeLine(commandline) for command lines with Output.writeLine(commandline, false) so that command lines shown in the output do not have paths translated to named directory paths. Note that even if the translate did occur it would only change the output generated and not the actual command lines.
Changed: The existing onOpenFile script callback has been changed to onFileOpened to reflect the fact that the file has already been opened. The new onOpenFile script will now be called to open a file.
Added: Search 'File paths only' option to find in files. This lets you search for file paths. Note that this option will only search named directory paths.
Added: Opening a class file will ask if you want to decompile the file and if so then open the decompiled file. Requires that you install Jad, a Java decompiler, in @Tools/Java/Jad.
Updated: Mozilla ActiveX control that is included with SitePad Pro in the Ide/Libs/Mozilla folder. The current version of the control is 1.77 built on 10 April 2005.
Fixed: Attempting to debug a Java application that is not compiled with the debug flag (-g) can cause a crash.
Added: View/Preference "Check periodically to delete temporary files".
Changed: Find in Files and Replace in Files will now only open known text files.
Added: File.openTextFile(show).

Changes for build 845 - 21 July 2005

Fixed: Label buttons on toolbars are not displayed correctly when the default font size is changed in the OS.
Fixed: Subfolders in the @Tools/Eventhandlers/<file type>/Templates folder are shown in the File/New dialog, but they are not used to create the file.
Added: @Tools/Eventhandlers/<file type>/Templates/Examples folder with scripts along with a filter in the File/New dialog to let you show or hide example templates.
Added: @Tools/Configuration/personalInformation.dscript. This script lets you set your user name and organization which is used in generating comments in new files. This script will also be called as part of the first time initialization process of JPad Pro and SitePad Pro.
Fixed: The script removeEmptyLines in @Tools/Misc has a missing ')' at line 63.
Added: C++ group file types for opening files.
Changed: Renamed the C/C++ file types shown the File/New dialog to 'C/C++ ...' names.

Changes for build 844 - 14 July 2005

Fixed: A Double-click in Notes or Output tab selects the whole line rather than just the word. A Double-click in a Notes or Output tab will still select the whole line if the panel detects a file reference. In that case the panel will then open the file reference.
Fixed: The Save As dialog has a dangling empty combo box at the bottom of the dialog.
Added: Drop-down menu bitmap for the file encoding field in the status bar. The menu will let you change the current file encoding for the active file.
Added: Drop-down menu and bitmap for the OS File Type field in the status bar.
Added: Separate zoom in and zoom out buttons on the main toolbar.
Fixed: Removed extra space at the end of the main toolbar.
Changed: Menu label "Open Above" to "Open Containing Folder".
Added: "Archive and Delete File" context menu. This command will save a copy of the file, close the file and then delete it.

Changes for build 843 - 9 July 2005

Note: File encoding only applies to SitePad Pro and the international edition of JPad Pro.
Added: Status bar showing the current file encoding for an open editor. To change the file encoding just right click on the status bar. Note the file encoding is the encoding that will be used when the file is saved.
Added: Combo box to the Save and Open dialogs to let you select the file encoding to use when saving or opening a file.
Added: Editor.getFileEncoding() and editor.setFileEncoding() methods.
Changed: The generated command line to compile a java file will now automatically add the -encoding argument if it is needed and has not already been added to the command line for the file being compiled. Over 120 file encodings are defined in the jdkUtiltities.script located in @Tools/Library.
Added: Choosing a file to open in the standard open file dialog will cause the file encoding selection to change if this file has been opened before. If this is not the correct encoding to use to open the file you can then change it before choosing open in the file dialog.
Note: Files with a Byte Order Marks (BOM) will automatically be opened using the corresponding encoding ignoring any encoding you specify.
Note: The IDE will call the script onSetCodepage(data) if it exists to determine the file encoding to use when opening the file. The data parameter will contain the first 5120 bytes of the file.
Fixed: Clicking on a browser sub-view after making a change in the source requires using the Refresh context menu command before the contents are updated.
Fixed: Changing the path of an open editor that is then used to generate a File message in an output panel will cause a second copy of the editor to be created when the File line is double clicked in the output panel.
Changed: RemoveEmptyLines in @Tools/Misc will now remove all empty lines from the entire editor if the selection is empty. An empty line is now defined as a line that contains only spaces and tabs or is of length 0. Before this change an empty line was defined as a line with a length of 0.
Fixed: Paste Indent does not reformat the pasted text. It behaves just the same as using Paste.
Fixed: An '@' character in a classpath will cause a script error when compiling or running a java application.
Fixed: Java smart complete does not work correctly when using array references.
Fixed: Unicode file output is broken.
Fixed: Floats (32 bit) values are not displayed correctly in the JDPA debugger for Java.
Changed: The @IDE Data/File Templates folder has been changed to the @IDE Data/ FileHandlers folder.
Fixed: The startFileTemplateMacroRecord scripts puts the template file in the wrong folder for the New File dialog to find the template. Template files must be located in the @IDE Data/FileHandlers/<filetype> file/Templates. For example Java templates will be located in @IDE Data/FileHandlers/Java file/Templates.
Fixed: Clearing a hotkey does not remove it.
Added: Zoom In, Zoom Out and Zoom Normal commands that work for both text and image files (in SitePad Pro). For text files the zoom commands change the font size.
Added: Zoom command button on the main toolbar. The default action is to zoom in. If the shift key is pressed which clicking on the zoom button the action is zoom out.
Fixed: You can only add 4 or 5 jar files at a time when editing the classpaths.
Changed: All hard limits for the number of files that can be selected for opening in the standard file dialog have been removed.
Added: Workspace panels are opened in their last state.
Added: Dash template files in SitePad Pro. Dash template files are like ASP or PHP files except that they are designed to work with all file types. Dash template files are used to initialize a new file. See @Documents/Ide/Help Topics/dashTemplates.html for details. To create a new Dash template use the File/New dialog.
Added: New dialog for File/New... in SitePad Pro. The dialog now has a number of filter options and a button to let you create a Dash Template for any file type.
Added: Notes tabs in the output panel. See outputPanel.html in the @Documents/ IDE/Help Topics for details or right click on one of the output tabs and choose Help.

Changes for build 842 - 5 June 2005

Added: Run script context menu command for .Net file types (*.cs, *.js and *.vb) in SitePad Pro.
Fixed: VB.Net support is missing support for try statements and other new .NET features.
Fixed: Image files are not added to the Recent Files list when they are closed.
Fixed: SitePad Pro will not run a machine that does not have the .NET runtime installed.
Fixed: Indent case labels has no effect in vb files.
Fixed: The set statement in vb is treated as a the set block statement in vb.net. This causes the simple set statement to be indented.
Fixed: The icon on the menu bar is not set correctly for image files.
Added: Improved editAntTargets script that will recursively check for any <import file="..."/>. See the comments in the editAntTargets for details. Thanks to Andrzej Taramina, Chaeron Corporation.

Changes for build 841 - 22 May 2005

Fixed: Operations that involve copying text from an editor can occasionally generate an access violation.
Added: Tools II - Alpha Release folder for SitePad Pro.
Changed: DotNet scripts can be implemented by just creating a DotNet file and placing it in the Tools or Tools II folder. It then just acts like the normal 'script' file. You can even use getScriptObject(path) from a normal script file to access members of the DotNet 'script'. See dotnetScripts in @Documents/Ide/Help Topics for details on using DotNet scripts in SitePad Pro.
Fixed: C# smart complete does not include parameter types and names in methods.
Added: Smart complete for Modelworks API in C#.
Fixed: Parameter attributes in C# are not syntax colored correctly.
Fixed: The Perl scripts do not quote the file that is being run which is a problem if the file being run has a space in the path.
Changed: The Perl scripts now use a common PerlSetup function to allow a user to select the Perl directory.
Added: Smart reformat multiline comments in c, c++, c# and script files.
Fixed: File/Save is inactive after 1) making one or more changes to a file, 2) Saving the file and then 3) Undoing all the changes thus leaving the file in its last saved state and no way to save the file in its original state.

Changes for build 840 - 27 April 2005

Fixed: Saving an empty file can cause a crash.

Changes for build 839 - 25 April 2005

Fixed: The Add/Edit item command in the Favorites command can cause a crash.
Changed: The New Window command for a view with subtabs will now just create a view of the active subtab rather than create a view with subtabs. The new window will have the split bars if they are defined for that file type.

Changes for build 838 - 12 April 2005

Changed: Starting either SitePad Pro or JPad Pro from the desktop will now create a new instance. Before this change starting either from the desktop would only create a new instance if an instance did not already exist.
Added: sortLinesRemoveDuplicates script in @Tools/Misc.
Added: CSS 1 and CSS 2 keywords.
Added: VB .NET support to VBScript syntax coloring and indenting.
Fixed: The Export HTML script in @Tools/Export does not insert ' ' for each space when spaces are used in place of tabs for indenting.
Added: Javacc file type (*.jj).
Fixed: Smart complete for HTML is installed for all file types. It should only be installed for *.html and *.htm file types.

Changes for build 837 - 22 March 2005

Fixed: Reloading a file can cause a crash. Bug introduced in build 836.

Changes for build 836 - 21 March 2005

Changed: Float and double values that are displayed in the Java debugger will now display more significant digits and only use scientific notation if needed.
Changed: Removed the auto archive backup of a file when it is opened. Now an archive copy will only be made just before a save if "Auto archive files" is on.
Added: OnPostStartup script. This handler will only be called after all the normal startup scripts have been called.
Changed: OnStartupTasks script has been changed to OnPostStartupTasks script and will be run by the OnPostStartup script. It also has been moved from the @Tools/Eventhandlers/Startup/Special folder to the @Tools/Eventhandlers/Startup folder.
Changed: Removed the default behavior of the onConfigureEditor in @Tools/Eventhandlers/File folder. See comments in the script if you want to restore the default behavior.
Fixed: The Reformat command does not always correctly reformat lines that have a background color.
Fixed: The Reformat command does not honor the insert spaces options in set the View/Tab Options dialog.
Fixed: Many operation on a very large file (~65MB) can be slow. Opening a 65MB file now takes around 2-3 seconds (~4X improvement). Closing a 65MB file that has not been modified is now around 1 second (~5X improvement). Saving and closing a changed 65MB file takes around 14 seconds. For comparison copying a 65MB file from the desktop takes around 4 seconds. These times were taken on a 1.6 MHz machine with 512 MB of RAM using a local file.
Added: Auto Save check menu in the Editor's context menu. If Auto Save is checked then the autoSave and autoBackup tasks will function for this editor. Auto Save will be automatically unchecked for removable, remote and local files larger than 4MB.
Changed: The default interval for the autoSave and autoBackup tasks has been changed from 2 to 5 minutes. To change the time interval run the autoSave or autoBackup script in @Tools/Tasks.
Fixed: When unselecting text with Show WhiteSpace turned on a new line symbol is drawn after the last character in the selection.
Fixed: Output files are added to the Recent Files list when the IDE is closed and the Remove inaccessible files in the Preferences is not checked. These files which do not exist on the disk should be hidden.

Changes for build 835 - 15 March 2005

Fixed: Using Ctrl + Tab to go to the next MDI window does not update the MDI tab bar.
Fixed: Reformat does not correctly adjust the background blocks when they change indentation level.
Fixed: The Perl onSyntaxColor script for regular expressions is 'matching' regular expressions of the form /.../ in statements like '$x = $a/2 + $b/3;'.
Changed: Dropped the term 'Package' in the Project menu items. A project is now defined as a collection of builds. In general the term 'package' will from now on only be used to refer to Java packages. However, for backward compatibility the IDE 'Package' object and relevant methods in other objects will still exist.
Changed: The name of the Projects subtab to the MyProjects subtab and the Package subtab to the Folder subtab.
Fixed: The RenameFile function in the context menus for Windows, Library, Class and MyProjects subtabs generate a script error.
Fixed: Creating a new document can cause a crash if the new document is activated before it finishes initializing. This bug only occurs infrequently and is nearly impossible to reproduce.

This feature lets you quickly see how your page will look in Mozilla, Netscape 6, Netscape 7 and Firefox by just clicking on a tab. To enable or disable this feature use View/Preferences... Note that this feature uses the same mechanism as the Preview tab (now called IE Preview). See Documents/Ide/Help Topics/Browser View Instructions for details.
Added: Mozilla ActiveX Control 1.7.1 located in the IDE/Lib/Mozilla folder in SitePad Pro. This folder includes everything necessary to view pages using the Gekco Runtime Engine(GRE). If you want to use a later version of the Mozilla ActiveX Control you will need to install Mozilla (not Firefox) and then run regsvr32 on the mozctlx.dll. The standard location installed by Mozilla for the control is in C:\Program Files\Common Files\mozilla.org\GRE\.

Fixed: Reformatting Java files can result in a spurious exception message in the onPostReformat script.

Changes for build 815 - 8 December 2004

Fixed: The scroll bar limits for the active output panel can changed unexpectedly. This cause of this behavior is because output is being generated for an inactive output panel which causes the active scroll bar limits to change.
Fixed: Running a script that modifies an editor that is not enabled for edit can cause an infinite loop.
Changed: The Edit File command has been changed to the Enable Edit command in the context menu.

Changed: The visible white space ini options in the [Workspace] section are as follows: "BadCharacterCode", "TabWhiteSpaceCode", "SpaceWhiteSpaceCode", and "EndOfLineWhiteSpaceCode". The BadCharacterCode is shown if "Check for invalid characters when opening a file" is on in View/Preference/File. The default value is a '$'. The TabWhiteSpaceCode, SpaceWhiteSpaceCode and EndOfLineWhiteSpaceCode codes are shown for tabs, spaces and end of lines when the View/Show White Space is checked. The default value for TabWhiteSpaceCode is '»', the default value for SpaceWhiteSpaceCode is 'º' and the default value for EndOfLineWhiteSpaceCode is '¬'.

This lets you invoke the script while typing a long line and then just continue typing in the same line without have to move the caret. The caret does not need to be at the end of the line. It can be anywhere on the line.
Fixed: The Show White Space mode shows all white space in a line as selected even though only the first few characters are selected.
Fixed: Running a script that finished by calling setActive() often causes an unnecessary redrawing of the editor.

Changes for build 778

Fixed: Closing a window created by using Windows/New Window for a view with multiple subviews closes the document and all its windows rather than just closing the specified window.

Changes for build 777

Fixed: No Document Sets are shown in the Manage Places/Document Sets dialog.
Fixed: The message "You must define a document set to define it" shown when defining a document set is confusing. It should have said that you need to enter a name before you can define a document set. This message has been replaced with a prompt asking for the document set name if the combo box is empty.
Fixed: The spell check function treats the back slash as an escape character which means that back slashes used in paths generally create multiple misspellings.
Fixed: The spell check function does not ignore character entities in HTML based documents.
Added: Background high lighting for inline velocity and freemarker expressions.

Changes for build 776

Added: Places. A place is either a directory, a named directory or a document set. One use of a place is to allow an easy way to specify the location of a find in files search. A named directory starts with a '@' followed by a name. A document set starts with a '$' followed by a name. The Find In Files and Replace In Files dialogs now use places. To add your own document set use the document set toolbar (view/toolbars). To manage your places use the Manage Places... command in the View menu.
Added: Support for Freemarker template files in SitePad Pro. Changed: The drop down list of places is no longer managed by the IDE or scripts. Use the Manage Places dialog to add, remove, or move items from places.
Added: Named directories. Named directories can be used in place of a full directory path. The default named directory are @IDE Data, @Library, @Tools @My Documents and @MyProjects. In addition to specifying paths, named directories will be generated in the output panels when file and line number messages are output (such as from find in files). Using named directory in this way can considerable shorten the file path and make it easer to read.
Added: Named directories drop down menu to the open and save file dialogs. This menu contains the list of named folders and is an easy way to switch between named folders. To manage the list of named directories open the Manage Places dialog and choose Named Directories.
Added: Document Set support for named directories.
Changed: All script methods that accept a relative file path now accept a named directory path.
Fixed: The Backup files written by the international edition are written in raw UNICODE without the UNICODE header marker. Backup files are now written in MBCS.
Changed: The name of the notification script onUpdateFindSearchPath to onUpdateFindSearchPlace. See Eventhandlers/Updates _readMe for details.
Added: GetDocumentSetPathList(key) and GetDocumentSetFileList(key) functions in Toolbars/DocumentSet/utilities.script. These functions are for other scripts that need to get a list files or paths in a document sets.
Fixed: The Help buttons in the Find In Files and Replace In Files do not work.
Added: Help menu item in the Macro menu.
Added: The following help topics: findinfilesdialog, macros, nameddirectorylinks, nameddirectorylinksdialog, regularexpressions, documentsets and replaceinfilesdialog. See Documents/IDE/Help Topics.
Added: File.expandNamedDirectoryPath(), File.createNamedDirectoryPath(), Application.addNamedDirectory() and Application.getNamedDirectoryList() methods.

The Fragment sub menu command will just insert the HTML in the clipboard that is between the  and  markers (these markers are part of HTML clipboard format). The HTML format is created by browsers when you select content and then copy to the clipboard.

Added: Hex code entry for UNICODE. To enter an UNICODE character using its hex value just type Alt + '.' + hexadecimal code on the number pad. The Num Locks key can be either on or off. The hexadecimal characters start at the divide key and continue around the number pad clock wise. Hexadecimal 'A' is the divide key, 'B' is the multiply key, 'C' is the minus key, 'D' is the plus key, 'E' is the enter key and 'F' is the delete/decimal key. You can also enter a decimal value for the UNICODE character by typing Alt + decimal code.
Note: If the Hex code entry for UNICODE is used with the standard edition then the value entered will be the value of the last byte code entered.
Changed: Using Alt + code to enter special characters now works with either the Num Lock key down or up if "Enter UNICODE text using the number pad" is on. For UNICODE charts see http://www.unicode.org/charts/.

Added: createJar script in Tools/Java/JDK/JavaBeans folder. The first dialog will ask you to locate your jar file. If you do not have one created just navigate to the correct folder and type in the name of the file you want. In the second dialog choose the class files you want in the jar (if you have a project open it will put all class files in the list). The next dialog will set the properties of the manifest file for the jar.

Improved: Closing very large documents (1,000,000+ lines) takes a long time.

Changes for build 676

Added: Smart complete for script files. To use this script type ".<tab>" or "<ctrl>+<space>". This script will attempt to determine the type of the variable using its name.

Added: onReplace callback script for Eventhandlers/File and all the document template folders. The onReplace script in Eventhandlers/File will be called if there is no onReplace script in the document template folder. The onReplace script will only be called if the 'Use Smart Replace' is on.
Added: Default onReplace script in Eventhandlers/File. The default onReplace script will only be activated if case sensitive and regular expression is off. When it is activated it will convert the case the replace value to match that of the found value.

Changing the replace value to myString will result in myString, MYString and MyString.
