howto:editor:slyedit [2019/05/29 15:08] – [SlyEdit] Removed the version number so the wiki page so that the version number doesn't have to be updated for each new version/release of SlyEdit. Also, removed information about the 79-character message width limit, as that's no longer true for SlyEdi nightfoxhowto:editor:slyedit [2019/08/15 19:56] – [Configuration with Synchronet] Removed emphasis on the "for 80 columns" setting for quoted text wrapping nightfox

 \\ \\
 +
 +New in version 1.68
 +-------------------
 +Each paragraph of text written in a message is now saved as one long line so that they can be wrapped appropriately according to the terminal/reader width (which should work online as well as in offline readers).  Also, message uploads are now supported by typing /UPLOAD (or /UL) on a line by itself (the uploaded message will replace any message written into the editor).  Also, now honors the SUB_ANON and SUB_AONLY flags for the sub-boards when cross-posting so that the "from" name is "Anonymous" if either of those flags enabled.
 +
 +New in version 1.67
 +--------------------
 +Version 1.67 added the ability to change the message subject.  Note that if using a Synchronet 3.17c development build, this requires a build from July 21, 2019 or newer (that build added the ability to use the RESULT.ED file, even if the editor is configured for QuickBBS MSGINF/MSGTMP).
 +
 +1.66 update
 +-----------------
 +For dictionaries with localized spellings, the filenames can have a "-supplemental" at the
 +end of their name before the extension if they only contain words that are unique to a
 +particular region that don't exist for all regions.  Also, dictionary filenames can just
 +contain the language without a localization if they contain words common to all regions.
 +For example:
 +^ Filename                          ^ Description ^
 +| dictionary_en.txt                 | General English dictionary with spellings common to all regions |
 +| dictionary_en-US-supplemental.txt | English word spellings only specific to the US |
 +| dictionary_en-US.txt              | Full English US dictionary |
