Hi Dmitry!

Well, Lexilla is essentially the same we already have, the Scintilla lexers, but bundled as a separate library. It brings no new features yet, just a couple of bug fixes.

Besides the bug fixes, why are you interested in upgrading to Lexilla?

Cheers.

why are you interested in upgrading to Lexilla?

Because Github is new home for Scintilla project and can be used as git-submodule like other thirdparty libraries.

I acknowledge that reusing code via git submodules is saner than having a local copy of it, but from the user's standpoint using a submodule does not provide any advantage since it only it makes it slower to download this project. From my perspective it is also cumbersome since I will have to spend some time adapting the build system despite not getting new features. So I am not convinced yet .

Cheers.

I agree!

Not "must be used"! :)

I'm a former Turbo Vision user (but Turbo Pascal implementation) and I really like your editor.
So if you don't mind using Lexilla library, I can make this transition.
