Detailed changes can as always be found in the Change Log at http://jedit.org/CHANGES56.txt, but here are some of the major features of this version:
- Many bugfixes
- A major performance improvement when displaying big files
(do not ask why, but I needed to edit a 38 MiB one-line text file yesterday,
with jEdit 5.5.0 it was not at all workable, with 5.6.0 it worked quite fine) - UI language changes are now applied without the need to restart
- Windows launcher now considers JAVA_HOME environment variable
- The tray icon does not look ugly anymore on Linux with a dark theme
- Primary and Secondary fonts can now be selected for all Look and Feels
- Some new and some updated edit modes (SIPp, WKT, RPM Spec, Java, PlantUML, HL7, drawj2d)
