This release is also the first in-the-wild use of the “check for updates” feature. If you are running build 853 or newer and have enabled looking for testing updates, then in the next day or so PN will notify you that there is a new version available.

Changes in this build:

  1. Wombat preset included
  2. Ignore ctags warnings when parsing tags
  3. Fixed bug causing tools capture not to work properly
  4. Allow changing display name of root magic folder
  5. Add support for displaying the caret as a block
  6. Switch back to a DLL for Scintilla for those that use a custom build

Note that if you intend to use a custom build of Scintilla (SciLexer.dll) to support other schemes or prototype changes then you will need to build using the project in the PN source or you will lose the new Regular Expression support. To get the source and build the project you might like to look at How To Compile PN on the docs site.

This release wouldn’t have been possible without the excellent contributions (patches and documentation), testing, bug reports and feature suggestions made by users - thank you!
