------------------------- Version 4
Again mostly a correction release !
Thanks to the testers, 3 critical bugs were corrected this week.
Hopefully, a few new features also:
- EmojiGear (OS3.2)
- NEW FEATURE: has tabs closing buttons !
- less problems when iconizing+changing screen mode+uniconizing.
- unitexteditor.gadget (all OSes)
- 4 memory correction issues, mostly on offscreen bitmap management.
- "scroll dancing" when editing a bottom cropped line: corrected.
- NEW FEATURE: right alt + left and right arrows jump words to word.
- EmojiGear & MUImojiGear
- no more crash if pipe-fed with ansi like: echo "รข" | EmojiGear.
(you can input-pipe UTF8 or ANSI texts, it's disanbiguated. )
- NEW FEATURE: optionaly displays the unicode "code point" of the
character under cursor, and its "unicode block name":
This helps greatly finding out what character set is missing
in your font configuration. Funny when used with examples texts
test_utf8_3_multilingual.txt and test_utf8_2_symbols.txt.
- MUImojiGear (the one that works on OS3.9 and maybe lower os versions )
- Ctrl key behaviour repaired when editor focused.
You can "page up" and "page down" with ctrl+arrows.
- Double click select whole word, triple click select whole line,
so now keyboard management of MUI version is closer to EmojiGear.
This also correct behaviour for any future MUI app using
unitexteditor.gadget
- Font NotoColorEmoji32.ttf which contains 32x32 pixels colored emojis,
is made up from official 128x128 pixels NotoColorEmoji.ttf.
It had wrong metrics that made them appear slightly shifted before.
This is corrected in this version.
------------------------- Version 3
Corrects three causes of memory corruption present in version 2.x:
Applications, gadgets and the library are all significantly more stable as a result.
Also native screen 2 color mode is corrected.
the text render library should be even OS3.0 compatible, but then
a bug in the old layers.library, and missing boopsi components,
prevent the use of EmojiGear under OS3.9. This is almost resolved by
the presence of another version called MUImojiGear, that works
with MUI3.8 or MUI5.0, under older OSes.
Yet the layers.library OS3.9 bug is still here so watch out.
Participate to the project if you think you can help about this.
(Or upgrade your OS3.9 to OS3.2 which is supported and brings lots of corrections.)
--------------------------
EmojiGear is a UTF-8 Unicode text editor for AmigaOS 3.2.x (68020+).
It renders TrueType/OpenType fonts and displays full-colour Emoji,
on any Amiga Video mode, native or RTG, indexed or true color.
Fonts settings allow to manage a list of cascading fonts so you
can have both a font for text and one for Emojis,
and display and convert any modern text correctly.
- Antialias, preference for background and pen colours,
- Multiple documents open in a tab bar.
- Load and save UTF-8, ISO Latin-1, ISO Latin-2; auto-detect UTF-16.
- Find & Replace, Undo/Redo,
- optional word wrap
- optional ANSI escape rendering for unix shell compatible display
- configurable font size with ctrl+- keys.
- Emoji Box allowing to choose 8 sets of 40 emojis mapped to F keys.
- You can "pipe" the output of another command into the editor.
- Settings saved in icon tooltypes
- Many corrections and improvements since the first release
Beyond the editor, the package installs three reusable Amiga components
that any developer can open from their own application:
utf8rastport.library -- FreeType 2 Unicode rendering on any RastPort,
with font fallback chains and colour Emoji.
unitexteditor.gadget -- the full editor as a BOOPSI gadget class,
embeddable in any application window.
unibutton.gadget -- a push-button gadget with Unicode/Emoji labels.
SDK, developer docs and examples are optionaly installed,
there are example for a MUI integration, lib and gadget use.
License is GPL for the lib and LGPL for the gadgets.
