StrongED 4.69f13 released

Hi All,

The thirteenth full release of StrongED 4.69 can found on the StrongED website

The download contains a copy of StrongED that has all modes installed to make sure that they are compatible with 4.69f13.

The main reason for this release is an error in the code to save a BASIC file not being caught which could lead to data loss.

A couple of add-ons have been improved, and some changes from SE 4.70 have been backported to this version.

When upgrading from an older version do NOT copy the new version over the old one. Move old copy out of the way and put 4.69f13 in its place.

Changes in StrongED 4.69f13 (from 4.69f12)

• Saving a BASIC file with overly long lines could result in a
  truncated file due to the error being raised by the tokenising
  code but not being caught by the saving code.

• Clicking Adjust on the Save icon or view menu → Save no longer
  raise a warning when a file has no path instead they just open
  the Save dialogue.

• Added check to see if a share is available when StrongED starts
  to prevent ‘Insert disc’ messages from ShareFS when there are
  remembered files on a non-available share.

• Added support for the template mode of DataOpen. (thanks nemo)

• The ScriptSED add-on has been shipped in its development state.
  Whilst addressing this a number of other problems were found and
  fixed.

• Filetype handling in DigDirSED did not work correctly due to the
  documention for Duncan Moore’s port of grep having been misread.

A full list of changes starting from the initial release 4.69f1 through to 4.69f13 is included in the download.

As always, all feedback is welcome and appreciated!

@ Fred,

Thanks a lot :)

Also Fred here are my two StrognED Modes: GNU Assembler and GNU C++ (the C++ mode has all the missing keywords up to C++20 and ModeWhen is specialised for .cc .cpp .c++ only), If you like it I’d recommend to split the old C Mode and use this one for C++, but it’s up to you.

If you want to use them, the easiest way is to git clone the repo from your Linux, Windows, macOS in an HostFS directory of yoru RPCEmu and then, from RISC OS, move GNUAsm and C++ directories (that you’ll find in src) into your !StrongED for testing.

Hope this helps, again thanks for the fixes in f13! :)
