LMD ScriptPack 4.X

[+] New PascalScript language is added. 100% Vcl native implemenation without external dlls. The PascalScript engine includes optimizing compiler to byte code and very fast byte-code interpreter. The PascalScript language is the dynamic Variant based script language that support most of the Delphi Pascal expressions and statements, procedure/function declarations, const/var/out parameters, global/locla variables and conatants. The PascalScript provides extended support of exception handling, e.g. raise, try-except and try-finally statements; real Delphi exceptions are raised internally that allows to testing exception class in handler, e.g. on E: EZeroDivide do. The PascalScript engine CodeObject implements the secret interface (in addition to IDispatch) that allows very fast interoperations between interconnected script controls; and also this interface allows to make transparent exception flowing between interconnected script controls. Native script operators such as 'is', 'in', '@' and set constructors, e.g. [akLeft,akTop], is able to work with imported from Delphi objects, instead of provided to ActiveX scripts special functions (e.g. SetMake, SetEmpty, ClassIs, EventMake, ect.).

[+] New three stage initialization of script control. Prepare, Open and Close methods and State property are added. So, the new 'Prepared' intermediate state become available. In this state all source code is already parsed, but no global code is executed yet. also the CodeObject is acessible in this state. This allows to make circular dependencies between script controls even in case when global code is used. In simple cases the call to Prepare method can be ommitted. Also the ACloseOnRuntimeError parameter is added to Open method to allow to leave script control opened in case on runtime errors while global code execution.

[-] The notion of last script error has been complitelly removed from the script pack.

[+] New exception formatting has been added instead of last-script-error concept. Now the script control includes the encoded source (reference to script control), error line and position information directly into exception message (e.g. in string form). The LMDDecodeErrorMessageInfo procedure allows to decode this information for advanced applications.

[+] New extremely optimized Delphi memory manager proxy allows to detect wrapped object destructions. So, all subsequent access to IDispatch object wrapper will report 'Object has been destroyed' exception, instead of unsafe AccessViolation. This is especially actual for working with exceptions in PascalScript, because the exception objects are automatically destroyed by the interpreter.

[+] New prepared expressions/statements feature is added to optimize Eval and ExecuteStatement methods. If the same expression/statement need to be executed many times then it is more efficient to Prepare it first and then use Eval and ExecuteStatement overloadeds methods that takes prepared objects as parameters. Note: the real efficiency gain will be only in the PascalScript because all other ActiveX scripts does not support ths feature internally.

LMD SyntaxEdit 1.X

Release 1.28 (05-Oct-2008)

[-] Bug with incorect print pages count fixed.
[-] Assertion error on whole text and bookmarks delete in TLMDEditView fixed.

Release 1.26 (14-July-2008)

[+] An event for customization default line attributes for painting introduced. See help on TLMDEditGetLineAttrsEvent and TLMDCustomEditView.OnGetLinesAttributes, and Delphi demo: Menu "Settings" - "Custom line colorization"
[+-]Help updated
[-] Bugfix: see this issue
[-] Bugfix: assertion failures in View
[-] Fixed backward compatibility issues introduced in 1.25, with some ILMDLineMarkers functions and View.IndentSelection/UnindentSelection functions.

Release 1.25 (26-June-2008)

[+] Better support for multi-document editing in one view. see this issue

[+] Better indent/unindent support. see this issue[1][+] New commands for TLMDEditView introduced:

sedIndentToPrevIndent - indents selection to previous indent value, looking at first upper indented line.
sedUnIndentToPrevIndent - unindents selection to previous indent value, searching in upper lines a line with indent less than indent of first selected line.
sedBackspaceOrUnindent - if there are only spaces at the left of cursor, then, unindents cursor line to previous indent position. Otherwise, deletes the char left.

'Code breaking changes':

TLMDEditView methods IndentSelection/UnindentSelection now have AUsePrevIndent parameter.

If AUsePrevIndent=false, then indent/unindent methods will use IndentWidth property to add/remove spaces for selection (un)indentation.

If AUsePrevIndent=true, then indent/unindent methods will use previous line with indent bigger/less than indent of selection first line to get new indent.

The documentation will be updated soon.

[+] Tabbed editing in Delphi/Delphi.Net demo

[+] Bookmarks now can remember char position in line too.

Code breaking change: ILMDLineMarkers.CreateMark renamed to ILMDLineMarkers.CreateMarkAtLine. Also, CreateMarkAtOffset and CreateMarkAtCol, DeleteMarksAtLine, DeleteLastMarkAtLine methods added to ILMDLineMarkers. The documentation will be updated soon.
