1.23 (r4724) to current -- Status: > 2022-01-02 (r4841)

Mode

• Added mode ASSEMBLER. (Since v1.22 mode settings are in myepm\bin\NEPMD.INI, imported from bin\defaults.cfg, and highlighting settings are in hilite\assembler.)

• Added Shebangs and Signatures setting keys.

• Added BIN as fallback mode beneath TEXT. Added recognition of binary files.

• Added Shebangs for files without extension.

• Added signatures for the extensions inf, hlp and ini.

• Added mode recognition for temp. epmkwds files and for installed .hil files.

Search

• Completely reworked.

• Added synchronization between menu, dialog, Preferences menu and saved last search arg.

• Added option l for Loaded files. That additional option is configurable in the menu for temporary changes and in the Preferences menu for permanent changes.

• Allow for exclusion of literals (option ") and comments (option ;). These additional options are configurable in the menu for temporary changes and in the Preferences menu for permanent changes.

• Added history. The dialog can be opened via Search -> List history. It allows for restore previous search args and for exchange the search and replace entries of the Search dialog.

Shell files

• Completely reworked.

• The command history can be found either by typing the Newline key at an empty prompt or in the Bookmark dialog.

• Hints: To navigate through previous shell commands, use Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down. To enter a command to the shell, type it at any prompt and press the Newline key. For a previous prompt, the old one is restored.

• Hint: To change a directory alternatively to cd (or cdd), support for folder drag and drop was added.

• Allow for quiet shell start per option: Run -> Configure command shells.

• Fixed save and ask on close of modified shell files.

• Improved restore of shell files and fixed line deletion.

• Added extracting of the shell environment. An .env file is now saved with the shell file. A shell file is now completely restored to continue where it ended before. That applies also for shell files on Restart, if configured.

• Discard changes and Auto-save changes on Restart can now be configured via Preferences -> Save and Restore -> Read-only and modified.

• The prompt can now be configured via setting key. (Use export and import for that.) After shell start, the PROMPT environment variable can be used for that.

• The Shell toolbar button opens now a shell in a new window if the Ctrl key was pressed.

Save

• Completely reworked.

• Fixed longname, FAT and non-FAT handling.

• Fixed mode redetermination for SaveAs.

Discard changes and .modify

• Reworked. Configurable via Preferences -> Save and Restore -> Read-only and modified.

Menu

• Eased operation by avoiding many submenus of menu items, mainly in the Preferences popup menu.

Code

• Added NepmdReadFilePart.

• Added NepmdSaveOld from the samples.

• Reduced string area size of EPM.EX and NEWMENU.EX. The limit of 64 KB was almost reached.

Make

• Added lib and runlib pseudo targets.

• Fixed make doc.

File lists

• Fixed conversion of old (up to 1.22) history lists to the new format and activated this on installation. (This won't process if keys with the newer format already exist.)

• Fixed unwanted closing of epm /m windows if Auto-save last rings is active.

Find definition

• Fixed parsing of Grep output for mode E.

• Fixed an endless loop.

• If Find in filemasks with grep.exe is selected (maybe per default) and grep.exe wasn't found, switch to Find in filemasks.

Alt_1

• Fixed processing for modes without SearchPath set.

Settings

• Reenabled settings import. It was erroneously disabled in 1.23.

Edit

• The workaround for wrong arg parsing of the EPM executable needed another change. Due to timing issues, previously processed args were passed instead in rare cases.

C syntax expansion

• Fixed an endless loop.
