This release first and foremost adds Unicode (UTF-8) support, Unicode icons for Curses and generic key macros. Many bugs have been fixed as well.
When installing the Curses (sciteco-curses_*.deb) or Gtk+ (sciteco-gtk_*.deb) Ubuntu packages, keep in mind that you will also need the corresponding common (sciteco-common_*.deb) package. The Gtk+ binary is called gsciteco, so it can be installed alongside the Curses version. Packages may or may not work on other versions of Ubuntu or Debian variants. Releases have also been uploaded to the Ubuntu PPA.
For generic Linux builds, you can try the AppImages (sciteco-*.AppImage). Be sure to add the executable flag after downloading. The Gtk AppImage (sciteco-gtk_*.AppImage) assumes that Gtk+ 3 is already installed on the host system. Since the image’s contents are not easily accessible, you are advised to download ~/.teco_ini and customize it afterwards.
The FreeBSD builds (sciteco-curses_2.1.0_freebsd-14.1_amd64.pkg and sciteco-gtk_2.1.0_freebsd-14.1_amd64.pkg) are fully featured and behave very similar to the Ubuntu builds. However, you do not currently have to download a “common” package - the FreeBSD packages are self-sufficient.
Curses builds for Windows (sciteco-pdcurses_2.1.0_win32.zip) are based on PDCursesMod. The package contains both a console (sciteco.exe) and GDI window version (gsciteco.exe). The Windows Gtk+ version (sciteco-gtk3_2.1.0_win32.zip) is also shipped as a stand-alone ZIP and does not require installation.
The Mac OS X Curses build (sciteco-curses_2.1.0_macos_x86_64.pkg) is considered experimental and is not signed. See also Mac OS Support in the wiki. Gtk+ builds for Mac OS are not currently provided.
For updating an existing ~/.teco_ini, have a look at the changes on sample.teco_ini since the last release.

Version 2.1.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7413b9c Fixed memory leak when replacing command lines.
Even cursor movements via function keys (fnkeys.tes) were constantly leaking memory.
820f716 improved support for braces within loops: warn about unclosed braces and fixed breaking from within braces
7adcfbf,
9a25dfd,
(!)b36ff25 Pattern match characters support ^Q/^R now as well.
This makes it possible, albeit cumbersome, to escape pattern match characters.
5395a7d check the memory limit and allow interruptions when loading files
973e50d FreeBSD/jemalloc: fixed recovery after hitting memory limit
b3ae8e2 fixed memory limiting if the process' memory usage is larger than 2GB and overflow checking
f188d74 fixed rubbing out (some) string building constructs at the beginning of the command line argument
dcaeb77 Inhibit some immediate editing commands after ^Q/^R string building constructs.
This makes it easier to insert ^W (23) by typing ^Q^W.
^Q^U was coincidentally already working previously.
c288762 Allow OSC-52 clipboards on all terminal emulators.
For Urxvt support, have a look at https://gist.github.com/rhaberkorn/d7406420b69841ebbcab97548e38b37d
49e1f09 syntax errors are reported with "echoed" characters, ie. as purely printable characters
(!)2b5b2a4 ^W^W and ^V^V can be typed completely with upcarets now and they case fold all expansions
of ^EQq, ^EUq and so on. For instance you can now type EUq^W^W^EQq$ to
upper case Q-Register q.
(!)fcf962e Ctrl+^ (30) is no longer translated to a single caret in string building (refs #20)
5b3906f,
8fbd0b3 "Special" Q-Registers now support EQq...$ (load) and E%q...$ (save) commands.
You can for instance directly load the clipboard from file contents.
b7b9840 check that local register is not edited at the end of macro calls
3db9368 improved HTML lexer (html.tes)
e307e56 netbsd-curses: fixed the default escape delay.
Recent versions of netbsd-curses are indeed fully supported now.
84cc45e PDCurses/WinGUI: significantly reduced flickering
a06bcea,
6f16667,
8744502 Curses: added support for cool Unicode icons (refs #5).
This requires "Nerd Fonts" and 0,512ED in the profile.
52d73e8 GTK: support setting and getting clipboards containing null bytes
c739742 GTK: allow disabling client-side decorations by setting $GTK_CSD=0.
This is the same variable used by gtk3-nocsd.
19d3f12 GTK: Fixes icons in tabbed and st (when embedding SciTECO via --xembed).
0e6e059 GTK: ignore the keyboard layout whereever possible (refs #5)
bc859a0 fixed rubout of empty forward kill (FK)
638f63c,
966d3ef minor search optimization - search commands will remove the buffer gap less often
ded9a02 test suite: enable the recursion overflow test case everywhere
2fd3664,
c2057eb,
(!!)abb5d23 Function key macros have been reworked into a more generic key macro feature,
allowing you to repurpose "international" characters on your keyboard.
You could also simply remap them to their latin counterparts, so you don't have
to change keyboard layouts often (on Curses, as GTK does that automatically).
The function key macro prefix changed from ^F to ^K.
Also, you don't have to and should no longer set 0,64ED.
cc63f3b improved file name autocompletion
c59b33c,
4789e39,
4ca4ba2,
f55f50e,
73d574b,
(!)6857807 The SciTECO parser is Unicode-based now (refs #5).
All language constructs are still exclusively based on ASCII,
but Unicode (UTF-8) is accepted everywhere, where an arbitrary character
is expected (as in string arguments and Q-Register names).
SciTECO macros must be in valid UTF-8, which may break existing macros that
embed arbitrary bytes.
2f632e1 disable unused Scintilla features at build time, slightly reducing binary size
e5d49eb Production builds will be slightly faster due to omission of runtime assertions.
b729ee4 sample.teco_ini: Codepage guessing (refs #5)
dd36439 sample.teco_ini: fixed opening files with glob characters in their names.
You are advised to merge changes into your ~/.teco_ini as after every upgrade.
c4a1c3a,
c222fa3 added an improvised lexer for styling Git commit, tag and merge messages.
bed2f36 <f,tXq>: fixed for very large character ranges
9241075 improved 8-bit cleanliness test cases and added Unicode test cases (refs #5)
4f23187 Added raw ANSI mode via ED flags to facilitate 8-bit clean editing (refs #5).
There is also a `--8bit` and `-8` command line argument.
41ab5cf Xq and ]q inherit the document encoding from the source document (refs #5)
403c1cd search patterns are now expected to be in UTF-8 and the document's encoding is taken into account (refs #5)
d714bb4,
d556aee,
b31b887 the ^EUq string building escape construct now respects the encoding (can insert bytes or codepoints) (refs #5)
850fa38,
(!)b85edaa <I> and <n^U> commands checks input codepoint ranges depending on the encoding (refs #5)
a747cff conditionals, eg. <n"A>, now check for Unicode codepoints (refs #5)
1d8f702 grosciteco: added the "aq", "ha" and "ti" glyphs (refs #22).
This fixes building on newer Groff versions, but may not have been an issue in v2.0.0.
db5ab17 grosciteco: support Unicode (refs #5)
33124e3,
e384e4f Implemented <EE> and <^E> commands for configuring and converting between encodings and translating between
glyph and byte offsets (refs #5).
Support for handling single-byte encodings is still incomplete, but you can edit
raw binary files.
62ccd35 win32: fixed opening and saving UTF-8 filenames (refs #5)
4a4ffd9 win32: convert command line to UTF-8 (refs #5)
90bad24 allow Unicode characters in command line arguments (refs #5)
2a05075,
745a76a,
359e257,
4dadac8,
e466218,
34683e8,
7507ad3,
7c59256,
f79a6f6,
c71ed30,
(!)4c6b681 Input and displaying of Unicode characters is now possible (refs #5).
Furthermore you can edit and navigate Unicode (UTF-8) documents.
TECO addresses refer to glyphs now in Unicode documents, instead of bytes.
This uses heuristics and can be slow in certain corner cases.
Care must be taken when interacting with raw Scintilla-messages (ES) as they
are always byte-addressed. You must use the new ^E command in these situations
to translate between buffer addresses.
fdc185b fixed retrieval of characters with codes larger than 127 (<A>, <nQ> commands)
ee9cf43,
e2c7c11 fully support out of tree builds
fbaa927,
07d9cdf,
78e7f30,
bbcf801 Updated Scintilla to v5.5.2, Scinterm to v5.1 and Lexilla to HEAD (rel-5-2-7-211-ge0f045a0).
This adds a troff/nroff lexer (for manpages among other things).
83398b3 fixed expressions like `1,(2)` or `(1),(2)`: they are reported as two numbers now
21c5be3 Fixed and improved the power (^*) operator.
It did not handle corner cases and was inefficient.
f2b070c fnkeys.tes: cursor movement now preserves the column as in most text editors
e37c2d6 fnkeys.tes: support zooming via F9/F10 on Gtk
23fb4d2 grosciteco.tes(1) manpage: fixed formatting of list of troff macros
5a8c5e8,
27fba8b,
c3e25ca,
33721ec several fixes in the sciteco(1) and sciteco(7) man pages
37eef3c avoid Groff warnings due to `\` escapes
22906ff fixed Clang warnings about one-bit-wide boolean integers (-Wsingle-bit-bitfield-constant-conversion)
7c1c6e2 fixed <EC$> assertions: specifying empty command strings was undefined
f1fec09 fixed ]$ and ]~ (pop from Q-Reg stack to special Q-Registers).
The idiom [$ FG...$ ]$ to change the working directory temporarily now works.
Similarily you can now write [~ ^U~...$ ]~ to change the clipboard temporarily.
