Scintillua 6.0

[orbitalquark]

Scintillua 6.0 is released from https://github.com/orbitalquark/scintillua/releases/tag/scintillua_6.0

Scintillua 6.0 is a major new release that is not compatible with previous releases. Scintillua is now a proper Scintilla lexer and no longer sets its own styles -- editors are responsible for doing so. Please read the updated manual for how to use the rewritten lexer. When using Scintillua with SciTE, SciTE 5.3.0 is the minimum required version. When using Scintillua as a standalone Lua library, there shouldn't be as many disruptions. The full set of changes is below.

Bugfixes:

• Updated Ruby, C++, D, Gleam, Nim, and Verilog lexers to fix binary number parsing.
• Fixed lexer.line_from_position() for start positions after 1.
• Fixed inability for standalone Lua library to use lexers that call lexer.line_from_position(),
  index lexer.indent_amount, or index lexer.line_state.
• Updated Bash lexer to improve heredoc handling.

Changes:

• Removed support for old legacy lexers.
• Rewrote Scintillua lexer to behave like a typical Scintilla lexer.

• Renamed to Scintillua from LexLPeg.
• Renamed lpeg.home library property to scintillua.lexers.
• Removed lpeg.color.theme library property
• CreateLexer() is the only way to load lexers now; no more private call API.
• Removed all styling capability. Applications are responsible for setting styles.
• Implemented ILexer5's NamedStyles() and NameOfStyles() so editors can construct style map.
• Replaced Lua theme files with SciTE properties files in themes/ for demonstration.
• Renamed fold.* properties to fold.scintillua.*.
• Added GetCreateLexerError() function for fetching CreateLexer() errors.

• Replaced "token" concept with "tags".
• Deprecated lexer.token() in favor of lexer.tag() and made it an instance method.
• Dropped 32-bit Windows DLL support.
• Removed lexer.property_expanded.
• Compile a very minimal subset of Lua into Scintillua (no bit32, coroutine, debug, io, package,
  or os libraries).
• Applications can use their own keyword lists for lexers that support it.
• More restricted sandbox environment for lexers.
• All lexers created with lexer.new() have a default whitespace rule; deprecated
  lexer.WHITESPACE.
• Child lexers can extend their parent's keyword lists.
• Added more builtin tag/token names.
• Updated Perl lexer to recognize more numbers.
• Updated Fennel lexer.
• Updated Python lexer to highlight class definitions.
• Updated Makefile, R, Fortran, and Go lexers.
• Added Hare and RPM spec lexers.
• Updated a number of lexers to use the new lexer format.
• Added allow_indent option to lexer.starts_line().
• Deprecated lexer.last_char_includes() in favor of lexer.after_set().
• Removed lexer.NOTHING tag/token in favor of the existing lexer.DEFAULT.
• Removed start_pos argument to lexer.fold().
• lexer.word_match() can be used as an instance method for enabling users to set, replace, or
  extend word lists.
• Added lexer.number_() and friends for creating patterns that match numbers separated
  by arbitrary characters.
• Allow prefix to be optional in lexer.to_eol().
• Added "output" lexer for recognizing tool errors and warnings, similar to Lexilla's errorlist
  lexer.
• Added Gemini, git-rebase, and strace lexers.
• Added "scintillua.comment" property for lexers with comments so applications can use them.
• Updated lexer template.
• Refreshed light and dark color themes.
• Added lexer detection via SCI_PRIVATELEXERCALL or lexer.detect() to help clients
  determine which lexers are associated with which filenames and content line patterns.
• Updated AWK and Django lexers with updated keywords and functions/filters.
• Removed fold.line.groups property and lexer.fold_consecutive_lines().
