1. Add a cmd argument for plugin: -pluginMessage="SPECIFIC_PLUGIN_MESSQGE" where SPECIFIC_PLUGIN_MESSQGE is a string which can contain white space. For example: -pluginMessage="arg1 arg2 arg3".
2. NPPN_CMDLINEPLUGINMSG notification: which will be triggered by -pluginMessage and plugins will get their specific message "arg1 arg2 arg3" via idFrom field:
//scnNotification->nmhdr.code = NPPN_CMDLINEPLUGINMSG;
//scnNotification->nmhdr.hwndFrom = hwndNpp;
//scnNotification->nmhdr.idFrom = pluginMessage; //where pluginMessage is pointer of type wchar_t
3. Add NPPM_GETCURRENTCMDLINE API for getting the latest command line.
4. Update command line dynamically in Debug info dialog.
Fix#11576, close#11589
Changes:
1) Removal of redundant lines (redundancy as defined by absence from the English version, I have not gone on to check the code for where each term is used, refer to Issue https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/11561#issue-1210847469)
2) Addition of lines which are found in the English version but were absent in the Tamil
3) Spelling error rectifications (eg: "கீல்" is an erroneous form of கீழ்)
4) Retention of English words for certain terms best left untranslated (eg: Macro; பெருநிரல் _does_ convey the literal meaning, but would be extremely confusing, as such usage is specialized and not directly connected to the literal meaning. Macro here performs much like a proper noun, an untranslatable, and I opine that translating that would be quite similar to translating Notepad++, Windows etc. In other cases, perceived rarity of the term's usage, potential confusion, and lack of sufficient systematicity in the usage of programming terms in Tamil have also been reasons)
5) Rewording certain terms as they seem of a fringe usage, and replacing them with commoner alternatives (eg: படி எடு for Copy has been replaced by நகலெடு, whose use is fairly universal nowadays, in OSs, apps, websites, etc. which display in Tamil. It must be noted that the previous version seems to be nearly ten years old, and probably the usage was more fluid and non-standard back then.)
6) Removal of lines that are plainly copied out from the English version untranslated, and cannot be translated
7) Addition of &/alt codes (I'm not sure exactly what they're called) as in English
Unresolved Problem Points:
1) The alt codes have been presented to a user using the Latin/English keyboard. (eg: for "&File", "கோப்பு (&F)" has been provided instead of the equally viable "&கோப்பு") This, although in keeping with the previous version, may present Tamil users an inconsistent display, what with the numerous bracketed and seemingly random English letters beside Tamil text, and inconvenience users of Tamil keyboard(s).
The example of other Indian languages may be used to argue for "&கோப்பு", while the example of Chinese, Japanese and Korean may be used to argue otherwise (it must be noted, though, that Tamil and Indian languages have their own keyboards as well as phonetic typing from English, whereas Chinese et.al. are typed, as far as I am aware, solely using the phonetic English method, and therefore the first argument may not stand)
To be very honest, I almost set out removing all the old bracketed-English-letter style stuff and creating them based off Tamil letters, but chickened out seeing the utter scale. I also am not sure how this would be welcomed by users, since they may now be quite habituated to using the English letters, and tampering with the functionality of the application (to a tiny extent, admittedly) is _not_ what I thought I was taking into my hands when I started doing this
2) Most of the popup messages have been left untranslated, coming to more than hundred lines (I'm sorry, I'm not doing any more now, maybe later, or hopefully someone else who uses N++ in Tamil/knows Tamil can step up and help; I'm sure my version of even those parts that I _have_ edited is not up to snuff either)
3) There are some technical vocabulary issues. For instance, there is a general confusion between அழி, நீக்கு and அகற்று for delete and remove. I have chosen அகற்று for remove, and kept the other two both for delete, due to how often both were used. But I think there could be a better solution, and a more systematic one. This is also, incidentally, just the tip of the iceberg.
4) I was also unsure about where to draw the line between translating an English word to Tamil and retaining the English word. In several cases, I used my familiarity with the words in a technical context to make such a decision. Since I also relied quite a bit on online dictionaries, and cross checked them across websites to be sure, I cannot vouch for all of them, and probably quite a few have been excessively Tamilised, or retained in English even when a patently viable and common alternative exists. I hope some others can account for those

In Scintilla4 reloaded document keeps its syntax highlighting without re-applying the lexer for its syntax highlighting.
It seems the behaviour has been changed in Scintilla5. Hence this workaround to force to apply syntax highlighting after reloading.

Add APIs: 2 new messages NPPM_ISDARKMODEENABLED & NPPM_GETDARKMODECOLORS, and 1 new notification NPPN_DARKMODECHANGED.
Fixed also a bug in dark mode for PushLike CheckBoxes.
Fix#11546, close#11547
Fix case-conversion code to handle changing string lengths:
Fixes an issue where, e.g., upper-casing U+2C65 adds garbage to the
document because its capital form U+023A has a shorter UTF-8 encoding.
Incidentally fixes another bug: rows would be truncated at the first
NUL when changing case in column mode.

For the sake of maintenance of Scintilla (future update), we try to not modify Scintilla project, or at least minimize its modification.
Hence the compiling boost part is shifted to Notepad++ project.

Scrolling "Document List" to make the selected item visible after:
- selecting
- opening a file or files
- the program startup
- adding/removing columns
This commit doesn't cover the case of the selected item becoming invisible after resizing of the window.

1. Scintilla and Lexilla intermediate files are created in the same folder as NPP build file (`bin.i686.build` or `bin.x86_64.build`), but in subfolder `_lexilla.build` and `_scintilla.build`. I added `_` char at the beginning so these folders are always at the beginning. If you prefer a different name or location it can be change.
2. Stop build and dispaly error message when someone run "outside build" (use `-f` option) and source path has any spaces. It won't work anyway, so it's worth stopping the process and give a clear message.
3. Add new phony target `sciclean` and `lexclean` for deleting Scintilla or Lexilla intermediate files separately.
4. Change `_` to `|` for temporary replacement of space characters when detect proper shell. Char `_` is allowed in paths and should not be used for that purpose.
5. Add one more condition for `MAKELEVEL` variable to prevent unnecessary second calls to Scintilla and Lexilla makefile.
6. Update also `nppSpecifics_mingw.mak` file to works with above change.
Now we don't have to remember to clean up the previous files when we switch to different compiler (32-bit or 64-bit) or when we generate a debug version.

Make external lexer library work again after upgrading to Scintilla5.
Old external lexer libraries needs to add CreateLexer export function which returns ILexer5 instance (Lexilla protocol interface of Scintilla5).
Tested with papyrus lexer plugin, this external lexer plugin is compatible with Notepad++ next release:
https://github.com/blu3mania/npp-papyrusClose#11468
Update with https://www.scintilla.org/scintilla521.ziphttps://www.scintilla.org/lexilla515.zip
- fix setting to bring Scintilla::PositionCR from ScintillaStructures.h inline with Sci_Position.h Sci_PositionCR
- add workaround to enable lexer for searchResult
commented out SCI_SETILEXER call on searchResult to get one result which is correctly handled by the lexer,
added comment about the current problem with property @MarkingsStruct which seems to disappear after call to SCI_SETILEXER or CreateLexer
- corrected usage of ObjC lexer
- removed unnecessary filter stuff
- use own sections for scintilla and lexilla build targets and allow parallel builds
- as libscilex is no longer existing, changed to libscintilla
- adapt makefiles and cmake
- use VS2019
- started simple changes for createlexer adaptations, nullpointercheck missing on return of lexer name from deprecated LexerNameFromID -> undefined behaviour
- movement from id -> lexer name, mostly done via LexerNameFromID + switching off corresponding compiler warning
- changed to SCI_SETILEXER from SCI_SETLEXER, SCI_SETLEXERLANGUAGE needs to be corrected, see Scintilla5Migration.html
- just commented out: SCI_LOADLEXERLIBRARY
