SlyEdit version 1.55: Added support for changing the text color.  Ctrl-K can be used to choose a text color (other key combos that might make more sense such as Ctrl-A or Ctrl-C were already used for other featuers).  Text colors/attributes are entered as a series of attributes.  For instance, to choose green, one would enter G.  To choose high-intensity green, one would enter HG.  One can switch back to the normal attribute by choosing N.  Colors are also supported in the text replacements file - Color/attribute codes can be used in the substitute words.  Also, \1 can now be used in the color configuration files in place of the ASCII-1 character.

SlyEdit version 1.52: Added the ability for the sysop to toggle whether or not to allow users to edit quote lines.  This is done via a new parameter in the SlyEdit configuration file: allowEditQuoteLines .  By default it is enabled, but it can be disabled with this line in the SlyEdit configuration file:
allowEditQuoteLines=false

SlyEdit version 1.50: Added a user configuration option (accessible to the user via the Ctrl-U) to toggle whether or not to trim spaces from quote lines.  This behavior is enabled by default.

SlyEdit version 1.49 - Bug fix: Updated the command key help screen to use the standard Synchronet pause function at the end so that Synchronet can use a custom pause script if one is configured in text.dat.

SlyEdit version 1.43 - Minor bug fixes: Sometimes SlyEdit would insert an extra empty line in the quote lines when replying to a message after wrapping long quote lines.  Also, sometimes SlyEdit would add an extra space to the beginning of some quote lines after wrapping them.

- Added the ability to use the PageUp and PageDown keys for page navigation in the message, replacing Ctrl-W and Ctrl-S.  Also, enabled page navigation in the quote line selection window, as well as being able to go directly to the first & last pages of quote lines.
- Corrected the width of the top border of the quote window in DCT mode for wide terminals (more than 80 characters).
- Improved the detection of paragraphs for wrapping quote lines: If the next line of text is indented compared to the previous line, the indented line is considered the start of a new paragraph, and its lines will be wrapped separately from the previous paragraph.
- Minor bug fix: When the cursor is on a line with a blank line below it, When backspacing to the beginning of the line and then to the line before it, the blank line below used to not be preserved when typing onto the next line again.
- The control key passthru & BBS status configuration (i.e., screen pause) are now restored not only in normal exit, but also if there is an exit due to a runtime error (although I would not expect that to happen).

Minor bug fix in wrapQuoteLinesUsingAuthorInitials() in SlyEdit_Misc.js starting on line 2739: Added more checks to ensure that the gQuoteLines object it references is valid.
Minor bug fix: Updated the Ice-style color display for the control key help text in the lower right so that normal/high attributes don't interfere with the high blue color of the parenthesis.

- Bug fix: When quoting a message with author initials, sometimes sone of the quoted lines didn't get prefixed properly when text was wrapped to a new line.  This has been fixed.
- Speed optimization/enhancement: The original author's name (used for prefixing quote lines) is saved in a persistent variable to minimize disk reads in case the the user changes their preference for using author initials in quote lines.
- Added a new configuration option for Ice-style colors: menuOptClassicColors.  If this option is set to false, then new colors will be used for Ice-style menu options.  If this is set to true, then the classic Ice-style menu option colors will be used.

SlyEdit version 1.32: Added the ability to choose a tagline to append to the message upon saving.  Also added user settings, which lets users configure whether or not they want to use taglines, whether or not to prepend the original author's intials to quoted lines, and whether or not to indent quoted lines that begin with author's initials.  Also made some misc. changes & bug fixes, such as:
- The maximum message name length in Ice mode is now 35 characters (up from 20 characters).
- The user's time left is now updated on the screen as it changes (checked & updated after each keypress).
- Bug fix: The time is now displayed in the correct location when the terminal is wider than 80 characters.
- Bug fix for DCT mode: Listing text replacements using Ctrl-T from the Help menu now works.
- Bug fix for DCT mode: Fixed an off-by-one bug for the horizontal position of the INS/OVR text when changing between insert & overwrite mode using a terminal size more than 80 characters wide.
- Some color setting name changes & addition in the color theme configuration files.

Bug fix (for SlyEdit v1.31): Disabled the spinning cursor when getting input at all places, to prevent overwriting a character on the screen (i.e., when displaying the text replacements list).

SlyEdit 1.29: Added a text replacement (AKA Macro) feature.  Added a new color setting, used when listing the text replacements: txtReplacementList.  Renamed the crossPostBorder and crossPostBorderTxt color settings to the more generic listBoxBorder and listBoxBorderText.  Also, did some code refactoring.  The new configuration file SlyEdit_TextReplacements.cfg are where the words & their replacements are defined for text replacements.  The new configuration option enableTextReplacements toggles whether or not to enable text replacements and has 3 values: false (disabled), true (enabled with literal text matching), and regex (enabled, using regular expressions).

- Added 8 new color settings for some of the text written when SlyEdit exits, related to the message sub-boards where the message was posted and whether the message was saved or aborted.
- Bug fix: SlyEdit sometimes didn't quote the last line of message when using author's initials.  This has been fixed.

- Added a cross-posting feature.  This allows a message to be posted in message areas other than the user's current message area.  The message can be posted in multiple areas, or just one, and not necessarily the same message area as the user's current message area. Cross-posting is disabled when writing personal email or NetMail.  New configuration options and colors were added for cross-posting.
- When reading the configuration files, SlyEdit now checks the mods directory first, to allow the sysop to place customized configuration files there so they won't be accidentally overwritten when updating files from the Synchronet CVS repository.  The directory search order for configuration files is as follows:
  1. sbbs/mods
  2. sbbs/ctrl
  3. Same directory as SlyEdit
- The height of the quote line window is now dynamically determined as about 42% of the height of the message edit area, rather than being hard-coded to 8 lines high.  This was done to make it look proportionally the same with different terminal heights.
- Bug fix: When deleting a line in the middle of the message, and if the user goes up to the previous line and starts typing and the line wraps, SlyEdit will now insert  another line to preserve the message spacing. Previously, SlyEdit would let the text wrap into the next line, effectively removing a line from the message.

Bug fix: When replying to low-numbered messages in a message area now get the correct author name.  Previously, it would get the correct author name only  from the later messages in a message area.  SlyEdit is now at version 1.19.

Updated SlyEdit to add author initials before quote lines.  This is now the default behavior, but if desired, this can be disabled with the following line in SlyEdit.cfg:
useQuoteLineInitials=false
When disabled, SlyEdit will simply prefix quote lines with " > ", as was done in IceEdit, DCT Edit, and other message editors of the early-mid 1990s.  Also, fixed a bug related to refreshing the text on the screen when a drop-down menu disappears.  This bug fix is only relevant for DCT mode.

Adding SlyEdit: This is a full-screen message editor for Synchronet that mimics the look & feel of IceEdit and DCTEdit.
