-
- v0.2 RC2 - December 2007
- ------------------------
- + speeding up the console output
- + watching for changes in "npes_saved.txt"
- + TAB-key in the console auto-completes current command
- + several cosmetic improvements
-
-
- v0.2 RC1 - December 2007
- ------------------------
- 1. A lot of internal changes/improvements.
- In particular, now all plugin's options are stored, read and written by the
- Options Manager component.
- The Warning Analyzer component, developed by Nicolas Babled, allows to filter
- and recognize different compiler/interpretter error and warning messages - and
- extract useful information from these messages (such as file name and line
- number).
- The Simple Logger component stores detailed information about last executed
- command (can be usefull for "debugging").
- * The console redirecting engine has been improved.
- * Now the plugin identifies itself by its dll-file name. Each copy of the
- plugin (each dll-file) stores its options in corresponding ini-file.
- * Now plugin's environment variables (e.g. "$(FILE_NAME)") are available for
- child console process. For example, start "cmd.exe" and type "echo $(#1)".
- * Now system's environment variables are available in a form of "$(SYS.<var>)"
- e.g. "$(SYS.WINDIR)", "$(SYS.TEMP)" etc.
- * Now the NPP_EXEC command can pass arguments to the script. These arguments
- can be accessed in the script through the following macro-variables:
- $(ARGC), $(ARGV), $(ARGV[n]).
- Example: npp_exec "script name" param_1 "param 2".
- This example sets the following values for the script:
- $(ARGC) = 3; $(ARGV) = param_1 "param 2"; $(ARGV[0]) = script name;
- $(ARGV[1]) = param_1; $(ARGV[2]) = param 2.
- * Each command now have detailed help information. Type "help" or "help help"
- in the NppExec's Console.
- * Now the console commands history is restored when you restart Notepad++.
-
- 2. New menu items:
- Direct Execute Previous - directly executes previous script.
- No internal messages - do not show such messages as "Process started >>>", etc.
- Save all files on execute - saves all files before executing a script.
- Also NppExec's toolbar icon has been added.
-
- 3. New dialog: Console Output Filter -> Highlight.
- This dialog allows you to specify a string mask for compiler/interpretter error
- and warning messages with such keywords as %FILE%, %ABSFILE% and %LINE%.
- These messages can be highlighted with different colours and allow you to go
- to certain line in certain file when double-clicked in the Console window.
-
- 4. New messages:
- NPP_SAVEALL - saves all modified files.
- CON_LOADFROM - loads a file's content to the Console.
- CON_SAVETO - saves the Console's content to a file.
- ECHO - prints a text in the Console (supports internal env. variables)
- SET - sets the value of user's variable
- UNSET - removes user's variable
-
-
- v0.2 beta4 - July 2007
- ----------------------
- - fixed: buffer size was not checked before calling OemToChar()
- - fixed/added: '\b' and '\r' handling
- + a lot of changes in plugin's internals (basic cpp-classes and NppExecEngine)
- + new command: cd, cd <path>, cd <drive:\path>
- + new command: dir, dir <mask>, dir <path\mask>
- + new feature: npp_open <mask>, npp_open <path\mask>

- v0.2 beta2 - March 2007
- -----------------------
- + Menu: Console Commands History.
- When enabled, previous commands can be scrolled by pressing
- arrow keys Up and Down.
- + Menu: Console Output Filter.
- When enabled, output messages from running console process
- can be filtered (i.e. particular lines can be excluded)
- - ConsoleDlg: Ctrl+A is unlocked
- - ConsoleDlg: Quotes "" are no more added automatically for paths
- with spaces (because of a bug with executables w/o extension
- such as "cmd /c calc.exe")
