GeSHi 1.0.8.4 Released

23/05/2009
Again time has passed and there have been some more or less important changes in this new release. It contains alot of bugfixes over earlier releases and adds 6 more languages thus making a total of 138 supported languages.

Besides the many bugfixes in the language files there is one quite important change language file developers should take care of: GeSHi now highlights keywords BEFORE highlighting regexps thus allowing languages like LaTeX to link known keywords while still highlighting unknown commands via regexp. This feature comes with a small price: You have to take care of how you link your keywords and how your regexps operate to not interfere with the already highlighted keywords.

Also I noticed a problem with PCRE not working properly with some large sources: As I'm not a developer of PCRE, but a mere user I ask you to report issues with PCRE bugs upstream to them, not me.

More information on current GeSHi developement can be found in my blog.

Download from the usual place, bug reports to the sf.net tracker please etc. etc...
