Source-Highlight-Qt 0.2

The release 0.2 of Source-Highlight-Qt is out! Source-Highlight-Qt is a library for performing syntax highlighting in Qt documents by relying on GNU Source-Highlight library.

The main new features are (besides some bugfixes):

• You can customize colors in the color dialog also for elements not defined in the current style
• A new dialog for source-highlight settings is now provided (see the screenshot)
• A combo box is provided also for selecting the output format of highlighting
• Some functionalities are provided for generating a .style file (e.g., starting from the settings of the color and style dialog)
• Some message boxes can be used to display source-highlight exceptions
  

Basically, all the new additions were functional for the new software I released (I'll blog about that in the next few days): QSource-Highlight, i.e., a Qt4 graphical interface for source-highlight itself :-)

GNU Source-Highlight 3.1.1

In this new version of GNU Source-Highlight some additions were made to the API of the library; the most important are:

• access to static global LangDefManager, LangMaps is provided through the new class Instances so that there's no need to create continuously instances of these classes;
• the library also provides now utility functions for accessing .lang and .outlang files;
• functions are provided for setting the data dir option globally, in order to increase consistency in applications that use the library (changing such value globally makes sure that the change will be visible in all parts of the library).

Moreover, two new language definition files were added: Texinfo and Haskell (thanks to Sergey Astanin); here are two examples:
