Release 5.5.5 (https://www.scintilla.org/scintilla555.zip)
Released 25 February 2025.
Remember selection with undo and redo. Controlled with SCI_SETUNDOSELECTIONHISTORY. Feature #1273, Bug #1479, Bug #1224.
Serialize selection type and ranges with SCI_GETSELECTIONSERIALIZED and SCI_SETSELECTIONSERIALIZED.
For Win32, update Direct2D and DirectWrite interfaces used to 1.1 and add a lower-level approach to calling DirectWrite 1.1 by specifying SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECT_WRITE_1. Since Windows Vista does not support these API versions, Scintilla o longer supports DirectWrite on Windows Vista and will fall back to using GDI.
Fix segmentation of long lexemes to avoid breaking before modifiers like accents that must be drawn with their base letters. For wrapping, try to break lines without separating letters from modifiers.
For GTK on Windows, replace reverse arrow cursor with hand as reverse arrow was small in scaled modes. Bug #2460.
Fix bug on Qt where double-click stopped working when Scintilla instance had been running for weeks.
Release 5.4.3 (https://www.scintilla.org/lexilla543.zip)

JavaScript: Use correct SCE_HJA_TEMPLATELITERAL style for server-side template literals in HTML instead of client-side style. Issue #286.
JavaScript: Use correct SCE_HJ_SYMBOLS style for '.' after regex instead of SCE_HJ_WORD. Prevent empty word assertion when non-word character after regex flag. Issue #289.

Rust: Add C string and raw C string literal styles SCE_RUST_CSTRING and SCE_RUST_CSTRINGR. Pull request #292, Issue #268.

Release 5.4.2
Released 5 March 2024.
Significantly reduce memory used for undo actions, often to a half or quarter of previous versions. Feature #1458.
Add APIs for saving and restoring undo history.
For GTK, when laying out text, detect runs with both left-to-right and right-to-left ranges and divide into an ASCII prefix and more complex suffix. Lay out the ASCII prefix in the standard manner but, for the suffix, measure the whole width and spread that over the suffix bytes. This produces more usable results where the caret moves over the ASCII prefix correctly and over the suffix reasonably but not accurately.
For ScintillaEdit on Qt, fix reference from ScintillaDocument to Document to match change in 5.4.1 using IDocumentEditable for SCI_GETDOCPOINTER and SCI_SETDOCPOINTER.
For Direct2D on Win32, use the multi-threaded option to avoid crashes when Scintilla instances created on different threads. There may be more problems with this scenario so it should be avoided. Bug #2420.
For Win32, ensure keyboard-initiated context menu appears in multi-screen situations.

Release 5.3.1
Released 5 March 2024.
Assembler: After comments, treat \r\n line ends the same as \n. This makes testing easier.
Bash: Fix folding when line changed to/from comment and previous line is comment. Issue #224.
Batch: Fix handling ':' next to keywords. Issue #222.
JavaScript: in cpp lexer, add lexer.cpp.backquoted.strings=2 mode to treat ` back-quoted strings as template literals which allow embedded ${expressions}. Issue #94.
Python: fix lexing of rb'' and rf'' strings. Issue #223, Pull request #227.
Ruby: fix lexing of methods on numeric literals like '3.times' so the '.' and method name do not appear in numeric style. Issue #225.
Scintilla 5.4.1
https://www.scintilla.org/scintilla541.zip
Released 27 December 2023.
1. Add IDocumentEditable interface to allow efficient interaction with document objects which may not be visible in a Scintilla instance. This feature is provisonal and may change before being declared stable. For better type-safety, the ScintillaCall C++ API uses IDocumentEditable* where void* was used before which may require changes to client code that uses document pointer APIs DocPointer, SetDocPointer, CreateDocument, AddRefDocument, and ReleaseDocument.
2. Ctrl-click on a selection deselects it in multiple selection mode.
3. Add SCI_SELECTIONFROMPOINT for modifying multiple selections.
4. Add SCI_SETMOVEEXTENDSSELECTION and SCI_CHANGESELECTIONMODE to simplify selection mode manipulation.
5. Improve performance of global replace by reducing cache invalidation overhead. [Feature #1502](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/1502/).
6. Fix regular expression search for "\<" matching beginning of search when not beginning of word and for "\>" not matching line end. [Bug #2157](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2157/).
7. Fix regular expression search failure when search for "\<" followed by search for "\>". [Bug #2413](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2413/).
8. Fix regular expression assertion (^, $, \b. \B) failures when using SCFIND_CXX11REGEX. [Bug #2405](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2405/).
9. Fix regular expression bug in reverse direction where shortened match returned. [Bug #2405](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2405/).
10. Avoid character fragments in regular expression search results. [Bug #2405](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2405/).
11. With a document that does not have the SC_DOCUMENTOPTION_TEXT_LARGE option set, allocating more than 2G (calling SCI_ALLOCATE or similar) will now fail with SC_STATUS_FAILURE.
12. Protect SCI_REPLACETARGET, SCI_REPLACETARGETMINIMAL, and SCI_REPLACETARGETRE from application changing target in notification handlers. [Bug #2289](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2289/).
Lexilla 5.3.0
https://www.scintilla.org/lexilla530.zip
Released 27 December 2023.
1. Fix calling AddStaticLexerModule by defining as C++ instead of C which matches header. [Bug #2421](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2421/).
2. Bash: Fix shift operator << incorrectly recognized as here-doc. [Issue #215](https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla/issues/215).
3. Bash: Fix termination of '${' with first unquoted '}' instead of nesting. [Issue #216](https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla/issues/216).
4. HTML: JavaScript double-quoted strings may escape line end with '\'. [Issue #214](https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla/issues/214).
5. Lua: recognize --- doc comments. Defined by [LDoc](https://github.com/lunarmodules/ldoc). Does not recognize --[[-- doc comments which seem less common.
Close#14375
Update with https://www.scintilla.org/scintilla521.ziphttps://www.scintilla.org/lexilla515.zip
- fix setting to bring Scintilla::PositionCR from ScintillaStructures.h inline with Sci_Position.h Sci_PositionCR
- add workaround to enable lexer for searchResult
commented out SCI_SETILEXER call on searchResult to get one result which is correctly handled by the lexer,
added comment about the current problem with property @MarkingsStruct which seems to disappear after call to SCI_SETILEXER or CreateLexer
- corrected usage of ObjC lexer
- removed unnecessary filter stuff
- use own sections for scintilla and lexilla build targets and allow parallel builds
- as libscilex is no longer existing, changed to libscintilla
- adapt makefiles and cmake
- use VS2019
- started simple changes for createlexer adaptations, nullpointercheck missing on return of lexer name from deprecated LexerNameFromID -> undefined behaviour
- movement from id -> lexer name, mostly done via LexerNameFromID + switching off corresponding compiler warning
- changed to SCI_SETILEXER from SCI_SETLEXER, SCI_SETLEXERLANGUAGE needs to be corrected, see Scintilla5Migration.html
- just commented out: SCI_LOADLEXERLIBRARY
Fix#10504, close#11419
