  • GoldED+ UTF+ experimental release

    From Eugene Subbotin@2:5075/35 to All on Fri Sep 4 18:30:34 2026
    Hello All!

    Lot of experimental features and bugfixes in the new release.
    So, just test it :)

    https://github.com/evs38/golded-plus/releases/tag/golded-plus-1.1.5-20260904

    Since I don't usually use Windows, I often only test these features on a test environment rather than in real-world use. A full description of the new features is included in the release notes.

    Its work under Windows 98 has definitely not been tested, but some fixes do apply to that system. The DOS version works well and does not require character tables, since it is compiled with iconv; however, it naturally cannot display all UTF-8 characters.

    New feature: redrawing the window when the terminal/application window is resized—its implementation was quite complex, so it requires particularly thorough testing.

    All UTF-8-related features (string lengths in headers, new kludges, UTF-8 autodetection) are experimental and disabled by default.

    I had an opportunity to test "XLATUTFAUTODETECT override". It works! See my message in the GOLDED area.
