Adding ExtCaret.get/setMatchBraceOffset

May 2 '07; API spec. version: 1.14; made by: vstejskal

The ExtCaret.setMatchBraceOffset and the MATCH_BRACE_* constants can be used for customizing the algorithm for finding a matching bracket. The options are: match a breacket before caret, after caret or either side.

Making JumpList final

Apr 2 '07; API spec. version: 1.13; made by: vstejskal

The JumpList was never meant to be subclassed or instantialized even though the class did not prevent it. It is now final with private constructor; the same for JumpList.Entry class.
