Sintilla [Release 5.4.3](https://www.scintilla.org/scintilla543.zip)
* Release 5.4.3: Released 9 March 2024
1. Fix redo failure introduced with 5.4.2. [Bug #2432](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2432/).
2. Add SC_AUTOCOMPLETE_SELECT_FIRST_ITEM option to always selects the first item in the autocompletion list. [Bug #2403](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2403/).
* Release 5.4.2: Released 5 March 2024
1. Significantly reduce memory used for undo actions, often to a half or quarter of previous versions. Feature #1458.
2. Add APIs for saving and restoring undo history.
3. For GTK, when laying out text, detect runs with both left-to-right and right-to-left ranges and divide into an ASCII prefix and more complex suffix. Lay out the ASCII prefix in the standard manner but, for the suffix, measure the whole width and spread that over the suffix bytes. This produces more usable results where the caret moves over the ASCII prefix correctly and over the suffix reasonably but not accurately.
4. For ScintillaEdit on Qt, fix reference from ScintillaDocument to Document to match change in 5.4.1 using IDocumentEditable for SCI_GETDOCPOINTER and SCI_SETDOCPOINTER.
5. For Direct2D on Win32, use the multi-threaded option to avoid crashes when Scintilla instances created on different threads. There may be more problems with this scenario so it should be avoided. Bug #2420.
6. For Win32, ensure keyboard-initiated context menu appears in multi-screen situations.
Lexilla [Release 5.3.1](https://www.scintilla.org/lexilla531.zip)
* Release 5.3.1: Released 5 March 2024
1. Assembler: After comments, treat \r\n line ends the same as \n. This makes testing easier.
2. Bash: Fix folding when line changed to/from comment and previous line is comment. Issue #224.
3. Batch: Fix handling ':' next to keywords. Issue #222.
4. JavaScript: in cpp lexer, add lexer.cpp.backquoted.strings=2 mode to treat ` back-quoted strings as template literals which allow embedded ${expressions}. Issue #94.
5. Python: fix lexing of rb'' and rf'' strings. Issue #223, Pull request #227.
6. Ruby: fix lexing of methods on numeric literals like '3.times' so the '.' and method name do not appear in numeric style. Issue #225.

Scintilla 5.4.1
https://www.scintilla.org/scintilla541.zip
Released 27 December 2023.
1. Add IDocumentEditable interface to allow efficient interaction with document objects which may not be visible in a Scintilla instance. This feature is provisonal and may change before being declared stable. For better type-safety, the ScintillaCall C++ API uses IDocumentEditable* where void* was used before which may require changes to client code that uses document pointer APIs DocPointer, SetDocPointer, CreateDocument, AddRefDocument, and ReleaseDocument.
2. Ctrl-click on a selection deselects it in multiple selection mode.
3. Add SCI_SELECTIONFROMPOINT for modifying multiple selections.
4. Add SCI_SETMOVEEXTENDSSELECTION and SCI_CHANGESELECTIONMODE to simplify selection mode manipulation.
5. Improve performance of global replace by reducing cache invalidation overhead. [Feature #1502](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/1502/).
6. Fix regular expression search for "\<" matching beginning of search when not beginning of word and for "\>" not matching line end. [Bug #2157](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2157/).
7. Fix regular expression search failure when search for "\<" followed by search for "\>". [Bug #2413](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2413/).
8. Fix regular expression assertion (^, $, \b. \B) failures when using SCFIND_CXX11REGEX. [Bug #2405](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2405/).
9. Fix regular expression bug in reverse direction where shortened match returned. [Bug #2405](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2405/).
10. Avoid character fragments in regular expression search results. [Bug #2405](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2405/).
11. With a document that does not have the SC_DOCUMENTOPTION_TEXT_LARGE option set, allocating more than 2G (calling SCI_ALLOCATE or similar) will now fail with SC_STATUS_FAILURE.
12. Protect SCI_REPLACETARGET, SCI_REPLACETARGETMINIMAL, and SCI_REPLACETARGETRE from application changing target in notification handlers. [Bug #2289](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2289/).
Lexilla 5.3.0
https://www.scintilla.org/lexilla530.zip
Released 27 December 2023.
1. Fix calling AddStaticLexerModule by defining as C++ instead of C which matches header. [Bug #2421](https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/2421/).
2. Bash: Fix shift operator << incorrectly recognized as here-doc. [Issue #215](https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla/issues/215).
3. Bash: Fix termination of '${' with first unquoted '}' instead of nesting. [Issue #216](https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla/issues/216).
4. HTML: JavaScript double-quoted strings may escape line end with '\'. [Issue #214](https://github.com/ScintillaOrg/lexilla/issues/214).
5. Lua: recognize --- doc comments. Defined by [LDoc](https://github.com/lunarmodules/ldoc). Does not recognize --[[-- doc comments which seem less common.

- 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

LexerStylerArray contains a MAX_LEXER_STYLE-element array (currently 100) of LexerStyler objects. Every one of them in turn via inheritance from StyleArray contains a SCE_STYLE_ARRAY_SIZE-element array (I tested with 99) of Style objects each at least 56 bytes in size. This in my test case requires over 550k of memory, and if LexerStylerArray is allocated on stack, the stack becomes corrupted. (Ref: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/10454#issuecomment-908732786)
Inline arrays are a part of an object and increase its size while std::vector uses memory from the heap and stores internally only a pointer to a chunk of memory, thus the size of an object with a vector is substantially smaller than the one with an inline array.

Fix#10114, close#10278
The reason, why the flicker occurs, is the following: There are two Windows messages sent by Windows to Scintilla, when the mouse is moved: WM_MOUSEMOVE and WM_SETCURSOR.
WM_MOUSEMOVE informs Scintilla, that the mouse has been moved inside its window.
WM_SETCURSOR informs Scintilla, that the mouse cursor has been moved. Anywhere, not necessarily in its window.
Scintilla calls the Windows function SetCursor (, which sets the mouse cursor shape, not the position), while processing both messages. Unfortunately, Scintilla uses different ways to calculate the desired cursor shape. So, whenever the mouse cursor is moved, two SetCursor calls are applied, sometimes with two different cursor shapes.
On WM_MOUSEMOVE, Scintilla calls ButtonMoveWithModifiers, which sets the correct cursor shape.
On WM_SETCURSOR, Scintilla calls SetCursor directly, sometimes with the wrong cursor shape.
This PR shows how to eliminate this effect in the modified Scintilla version used by Notepad++. This may be the fastest way to get results without introducing new effects.
The current original Scintilla version (Version 4.4.4, downloaded 2020-07-30, 5d134721c303ceecbdcb28ec82b28f0cbbdb4a55) has the same effect and can be fixed in the same way, although the WM_SETCURSOR code has been changed a little. Before updating to a new Scintilla version, we should try to get it fixed in the original Scintilla.
