Release Notes: This release includes indent/outdent block actions, a new "smart move to beginning of line" option, and an extension to templates to have different ones for each programming language.
- 19 Apr 2011 15:44
Release Notes: This release includes new features to filter the selection through an external program, to cut to the clipboard all lines matching a string, to insert a real tab (regardless of the tab settings), and to insert numbered items. There were several improvements to the text mode interface (including a hardware cursor) and some minor bugfixes, including the resolution of an insert / overwrite mode issue. Some internal libraries have also been rewritten, so the memory usage is now lower and the overall behavior a little faster.

Release Notes: This release includes a new tab mode (taking the previous line as a template), new Alt+keys support, and fixes for some major bugs that led to crashes.

Release Notes: This release features a new Qt4 driver, a new hexadecimal viewer, dropping from system UI windows, improved charset detection, and some clipboard and platform-specific fixes.

Release Notes: Grep can be recursive. New syntax colors are used for special documentation blocks (which are different from source comments). A new action was added to jump to special section lists inside each document (for example, function definitions). Another new action was added to search for repeated words too near to each other (as an aid to writing). Several fixes were made to the GTK and Win32 drivers and other minor bugs were fixed.

I had the same error on a ubuntu box when I ran config.sh with the --debian flag. After re-running config.sh without it and reinstalling it now runs fine, plus installs to /usr/local instead of in the main tree which I prefer anyway.

It's hard to know without more information, but I think
it's probably because you are trying to execute it
without installing it (i.e., as ./mp-5). This does not
work, as it reads its components
from /usr[/local]/share/mp-5.
Try installing it. You can always do 'make uninstall' if
you're not happy.
mp_core.mpsl
I try to start mp-5.0.0 in a debian-box with gtk-2.12.1-2 and I get this error.
File 'mp_core.mpsl' not found in INC
what I can do to solve this?
thanks.
Re: Syntax Highlighting
> And how about Java and TCL?
I don't use those programming languages so I'm not
qualified to add an optimal syntax highlight for them,
but contributions are always welcome.

It works differently from other software because it's
different :-) Now seriously, I don't think it's THAT
different. Maybe mouse selections are not so usual,
but I don't see the way it works as a stopper.
Regarding font size, you can also change it with
ctrl-keypad-plus and ctrl-keypad-minus (apart from
F11 / F12). Anyway, keybindings are changeable.
There is always somebody that won't like the default
keybindings of your program. Some people even
asked why it does not use vi or emacs keybindings.
Don't like them? Change them.
