EmEditor v15.7.0 beta 1
Today, we are releasing EmEditor v15.7.0 beta 1.
Notes: In order to update automatically to future beta versions, please select Select Update Channel on the Help menu, and select Betas.
Updates from v15.6.1 include:
New General Features
- You can now select Onigmo as the regular expression engine in addition to Boost.Regex. If Onigmo is selected as the regular expression engine, you can use character types such as p{Han}, p{Hangul}, p{Hebrew}, etc. To find more details about the Onigmo regular expression syntax, please view https://github.com/k-takata/Onigmo/blob/master/doc/RE and Unicode Properties https://github.com/k-takata/Onigmo/blob/master/doc/UnicodeProps.txt.
Test results
While Find, Replace, and Filter tasks using some regular expressions are much faster using Onigmo compared to Boost.Regex, Boost.Regex becomes faster with some other regular expressions. Since the development is still in progress, the test results might be changed in the future.
