LiteXL v2.1.0 is released

I tested it fresh. I didn't use an old config. What I did was fairly simple and this may give a clue. I do it with all new and updated software I test. I simply extract the archive to my RAM disk. And run it from there!

I checked and I don't have a HOME folder variable set.

That would be "RAM Disk:LiteXL2".


I'll submit a report on git. I also found in the OS4Depot crash reports that TearsOfMe also has a crash on his X1000. But the crash is different.

You have a long memory. I thought about this last week, yesterday and now today! What you are likely referring to could be something from ten years ago on my XE. In simple terms it would be obsolete. I recall something from a July 2007 update and being unable to fully use that or some other update, as it broke some 68K software. So had to leave an older OS install to use that particular software. This was not unusual in the early days.

However, since then, I moved over to the X1000. And set up my volumes again in the process. As you would be aware I'm also a beta tester so do have a few volumes with different OS4 versions. I have test volumes I keep clean though tend to only test system software on them. I do find it would help if developers tested software on a base system as I find some software can easily break on a base install and can tell if it was only tested on the developers full system.

My personal Workbench would not be fully up to date. Because I still need to run the Update 2 Quckfix as I call it, with an Update 1 kernel and Update 2 components. This is not by choice, but simply because Update 2 is incompatible with my Sapphire R7 250, and compositing freezes my system. Until the conflict is found there is not much else I can do about this on top of the months I've been investigating it. My other options are going back to a HD5450 with no 3d support or disabling compositing. I don't like either of these options and just like to get work done on my system. So until the problem is found my own Workbench will remain in this quantum state.

Today I released a new version of LiteXL v2.1.1r1. Is more like a maintenance release with a few fixes and extra plugins.

LiteXL does not have syntax for Hollywood, correct? Is there any plan in the future to implement this? I know you are busy with your current webkit project and I am not sure how hard would be implementation of Hollywood syntax, but it would be a great addition to LiteXL, for sure. Just a thought!

@levellord
There is a syntax file for Hollywood already in the Addons folder of the release. You need to enable it.
I introduced it some time ago. There is an AmigaGuide file as well.

In the Addons folder, there are language_hws.lua and language_guide.lua files. These need to be copied into your .config/lite-xl/plugins/.
These are described in the README_Amiga.md file.

My old age is killing me and I am blind as well! Thank you walkero!

@levellord
Don't worry at all. I am just sorry you haven't had the chance to use it before. I am glad the editor is useful to you. Have fun with it.

Today I released a new version of LiteXL v2.1.1r2. The only change is that it was compiled with the latest SDL v2.26.5-rc2 which has some changes for 16-bit screens. This will make LiteXL work on Qemu systems.

You can download it from my repo at

and soon from the OS4Depot

LiteXL now runs perfectly in 16 bit output and it is fast. I like the editor very much.
Good job and thanks for the support. This text editor also understands drag and drop which is really very good. Thanks

@walkero

Just wanted to confirm that LiteXL works perfectly on the A1222. I was concerned that the redraw performance could be an issue, but it isn't. Works a treat.

@Maijestro
I am glad you like it. I put a lot of work into it. It is not just a port of a Linux editor but has a few adaptations here and there. I hope it will be helpful to you.

@eliyahu
I am glad it works so well on A1222. In the past, I had some crashes when some calculations didn't go so well, but fixed it a long time ago. Have fun with it.

@walkero

I've been able to test LiteXL extensively over the past few days, it's really good.

But I have one more question about the use, I would like to place LiteXL is AmiDock permanently, unfortunately this editor does not support drag and drop from AmiDock if I drag text files directly onto the LiteXL icon. I assume that requires wide adjustments to make it available?

Yeah, it will need a lot of changes. Maybe in a future version. For now if you run it you can drag 'n drop files or even a whole folder into it.

i think i found a bug in the "minimap.lua" plugin

@root
If you remove that plugin, does LiteXL work?

@walkero
Yes, without the plugin there are no problems.
