QScintilla project is a port to Qt of Neil Hodgson's Scintilla C++ editor class.

As well as features found in standard text editing components, QScintilla includes features especially useful when editing and debugging source code.

These include support for syntax styling, error indicators, code completion and call tips. The selection margin can contain markers like those used in debuggers to indicate breakpoints and the current line.

Styling choices are more open than with many editors, allowing the use of proportional fonts, bold and italics, multiple foreground and background colours and multiple fonts.

QScintilla is licensed under the GNU GPL (for UNIX/Linux and MacOS/X), under the Qt Educational License (for use with the educational edition of Qt for Windows), and under a commercial license (for UNIX/Linux, MacOS/X and Windows).

At the moment the commercial version of QScintilla is bundled with the commercial version of PyQt. You can purchase it here.

Note that the educational edition is for educational institutions and not individual students.

QScintilla is provided in source form as a .tar.gz package for UNIX/Linux and MacOS/X, and a .zip package for Windows.

What's New in This Release:
This version is based on Scintilla 1.71.
Many API enhancements and bugfixes were made.
