I've just received a mail from wyo - the wxScintilla developer, and he told me that he doesn't support the project anymore. If someone wants to take on the project he's welcome to contact wyo and ask for the rights.

Here's the mail:

--- Quote ---Hi Ricardo,

I've given up on OpenSource and don't support wxScintilla anymore. IF
you still plan to use it, you can have it. Contact Francesco Montorsi,
he can give you the rights.

So, if we want to adapt Scintilla to our project, then we're on our own...   :(

JGM:
thats really bad news :(

dmoore:
well, I think this should be used as an opportunity to free the codeblocks core of an explicit dependency on any editor. ideally new editors could be swapped in using the plugin framework. perhaps, realistically this is a medium term goal, but at least worth some thought.

thomas:
Well, Code::Blocks uses its own version of wxScintilla already anyway, so I don't see how this is a too big problem.

And what editors are better than scintilla out there, that are open source and c++ compatible?
