About Scintilla
Source
The vendored Scintilla source code is fetched from their official website 1 . Version is 5.5.0. All vendored code are inside the scintilla folder.
How to update
To update the vendored code to the newer version, do the following steps.
- Download the ZIP archive of the new version, unzip it and replace the
scintillafolder. - Under
scintilla/qt/ScintillaEdit, runWidgetGen.pyto generateScintillaEdit.handScintillaEdit.cpp. - Reconfigure project, start to build, and see if it fails. If so, review the change of
ScintillaEdit.proand see if we need to update theCMakeLists.txtin this folder (along with thisREADME.mdfile). - Done, we can commit the change now.
The folder name that this sub-project lives at currently indicates the Scintilla version that we uses. If updated, consider also update the folder name as well.
The Lexilla project also depends on Scintilla's include files, so Lexilla's CMakeLists.txt also needs to be updated if the folder name changed.
