George Sokianos, a.k.a. Walkero, is back with an update to the Lite XL port for AmigaOS 4. This time it is version 2.1.3r1.

Lite XL is a lightweight text editor written in Lua and SDL2. It is being developed by the Lite XL team. Here is the link to the official page on GitHub.

Here is the changelog:

[2.1.3r1] – 2024-03-09

Added

– Added AmiUpdate support
– Added the Tetris plugin

Updated

– Updated the code to the upstream 2.1.3 release
– Compiled with SDL 2.30.0 that supports editing with ISO encodings, other than English. Now the editor should be able to support any language and in conjuction with the codesets plugin be able to make text encodings conversions.
– Now the codesets plugin supports MorphOS 3.18 and above

Changed

– Changed the way the “Open in system” option executes the WBRun command in AmigaOS 4, with a more secure way
– Did a lot of code cleanup in sync with the upstream, and parts of code that were left over
– Compiled with pcre2 10.42 (MorphOS version only)

Fixed

– I did a lot of changes on path manipulation and usage, fixing scanning the root of a partition or an assign path
– Fixed an error with the codesets plugin, where an empty file could not be opened
– Improved the folder suggestions when opening projects or changing paths. Now even the root folders of a partition are presented
– Fixed ghmarkdown plugin, but now requires a GitHub token to be provided
