Recent releases
- 10 May 2009 10:35
Changes: Grep can be recursive. New syntax colors are used for special documentation blocks (which are different from source comments). A new action was added to jump to special section lists inside each document (for example, function definitions). Another new action was added to search for repeated words too near to each other (as an aid to writing). Several fixes were made to the GTK and Win32 drivers and other minor bugs were fixed.

- 27 Sep 2008 20:15

I had the same error on a ubuntu box when I ran config.sh with the --debian flag. After re-running config.sh without it and reinstalling it now runs fine, plus installs to /usr/local instead of in the main tree which I prefer anyway.

It's hard to know without more information, but I think
it's probably because you are trying to execute it
without installing it (i.e., as ./mp-5). This does not
work, as it reads its components
from /usr[/local]/share/mp-5.
Try installing it. You can always do 'make uninstall' if
you're not happy.
mp_core.mpsl
I try to start mp-5.0.0 in a debian-box with gtk-2.12.1-2 and I get this error.
File 'mp_core.mpsl' not found in INC
what I can do to solve this?
thanks.
Re: Syntax Highlighting

I don't use those programming languages so I'm not
qualified to add an optimal syntax highlight for them,
but contributions are always welcome.

It works differently from other software because it's
different :-) Now seriously, I don't think it's THAT
different. Maybe mouse selections are not so usual,
but I don't see the way it works as a stopper.
Regarding font size, you can also change it with
ctrl-keypad-plus and ctrl-keypad-minus (apart from
F11 / F12). Anyway, keybindings are changeable.
There is always somebody that won't like the default
keybindings of your program. Some people even
asked why it does not use vi or emacs keybindings.
Don't like them? Change them.
