Hello everyone,

I proudly present jEdit 5.0.0, the first stable release of the 5.0 series of jEdit.

Detailed changes can as always be found in the Change Log at http://jedit.org/CHANGES50.txt, but here are some of the major features of this version:

• Localization - jEdit now supports switching between default locale, French, German, Russian, Czech, and Japanese. Some translations for those locales are provided, containing common jEdit labels. It is also now possible to add new or contribute to existing translation property files for jEdit core as well as for plugins.
• Keymaps - named collections of shortcuts. Example keymaps for Emacs, MacOS, German Keyboard, Intellij and classic jEdit are provided, and users can create or customize them.
• New Editing options: Disable or simplified automatic indentation, and default response when opening a large file.
• Updated html/css edit modes with HTML5/CSS3 keywords. Added a dozen new edit modes, updated a dozen more.
• Scrolling - Many bugs (#2832769, #2998294, #3193168, possibly others), related to soft wrap, multiline delete/cut, undo, and folding, that could cause the text area to be confused about its location, are fixed. This greatly improves the stability of jEdit. Thank you, Thomas Meyer!

Volunteers are always welcome to contribute to the future of jEdit:
