Adobe would like to contribute its Scintilla improvements to the
Scintilla community.

As a first step I have submitted our changes as a feature request to the
Scintilla depot.

Let me give you some background information about this submission:

In 2006 Adobe decided to use Scintilla for the new version of the
ExtendScript Toolkit that was eventually shipped with Creative Suite 3
(CS3). The ExtendScript Toolkit (ESTK) is a development and debugging
tool for JavaScript scripts included with Adobe CS3 Suites and
applications such as Bridge, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and After
Effects. ESTK 2.0 is a new and enhanced version that allows you to
create, edit and debug ExtendScript (Adobe's JavaScript language) all
with an updated user interface, a new text engine, and the ability to
debug more than one script at a time. That new text engine is Scintilla!

 

The ExtendScript Toolkit is freely available on Adobe's website at:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/bridge 

 

In order to ship ESTK 2.0 with Scintilla we had to make some changes to
the Scintilla code. We started with version 1.68 and upgraded later to
version 1.71, which was the version we ended up shipping with CS3. We
recently updated the Scintilla code base to Scintilla 1.74 and prepared
our code so it could be easily merged with the Scintilla code base. All
changes made by Adobe are ifdef'ed in ADOBE - in other words if you
didn't define ADOBE in your projects you would get Scintilla 1.74.

 

Here is a 'high-level' list of improvements (bug fixes and new features)
we have added to Scintilla:

 

Win & OSX:

- Support for custom margins

- Bug fixes

 

OSX:

- Input Method Engine (IME) support

- Unicode support

- Drag and drop

- Context menu notification

- XCode project files.

- Bug fixes

 

Most of the changes we have made were in the area of the Mac OSX port.

For more details please see "List of changes Adobe has made to Scintilla
1.74" in README-Adobe.txt.
