Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nothing special, except that you can copy the file "AnnotateSyntax.xml"
to ENVARC: to make it global.


News and Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* FIX * Fix the crash bug in the AmigaOS 3 68k version. The bug depended on the
        font size, which is why I never noticed it when developing this code.

* FIX * Version string was wrong in the auto-update system, so it never detected
        new versions automatically.

* FIX * Simpler error message when the syntax definition cannot find the
autodocs
        it tries to load.

v3.1
~~~~
** Multi-file searching, Visual Studio cycle-through-style.
   When all text has been found in one window, it will continue to search
   the next windows and then hidden editors. This makes it much easier
   to find the definition of a function, or usages of a variable in
   your entire project.
   
   It is suggested to create a project and add all files as hidden
   editors for this to work the best.

** Multi-highlight of selection. "Show all occurences".

** Many stability improvements around closing and reopening editors.

** Other stability around copy'n'paste, undo

** Anti-alias text rendering on OS3 on hi/true-color screens.

** Syntax: Major rework on the syntax definition system to make it much easier
   and faster to create syntax definitions, and they are read faster.

** Syntax: Grouping of tokens using <TokenCollection> and <TokenSet>.

** Syntax: A <TokenCollection> can read audodocs to apply syntax for
   library calls in one line. A <TokenCollection> can be used by several
   syntax definitions by using <TokenSet tokencollection="name_of_collection">
   in a languge.

** Syntax: Set RGB colors for all platforms using rgb and bgrgb parameters
   with pen and bgpen as fallback for non hi/true-color screens.
   rgb and bgrgb can be a hex value like "$402050", or a name like "darkblue".

** Syntax: CSS-like setting of color and style for syntax definitions in one
   place using <Style>, then apply that style to your <Token> or <TokenSet>.

** Syntax: Massive speedup of syntax highlighted text rendering.
   Even with 4 full libraries (dos, exec, intution, graphics) loaded it
   renders fast.

** Pressing Help with the cursor over a library function
   can now bring up the audodocs for that function.

** Matching was wrong when to the far left on a line.

** Did not default to Untitled when opening the first file.

** Change font size caused refresh issue with info bar.


Future
~~~~~~
* Some other kind of minimize/iconify function, connected to AmiDock or
  something perhaps.

* Enhance some more graphics.

Note on issues with syntax highlight
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Start annotate and go directly into Config and disable Syntax->Use syntax
highlighting. Press Save. Now it should work stable, but of course without
syntax highlighting then...
Or you can edit the Annotate.xml file which can be in ENVARC: or in the current
dir if you have saved the config from before, and change the UseSyntax element
from 1 to 0.
