A new revision of the text-editor Kon has been released, and the new
version has been uploaded to Hobbes.

Kon has also changed its home page URL. The new URL is:

  http://www.bmtmicro.com/kon/ 

The current version is 1.13 rev. 1066.

---

Two major fixes are included (These have been available since Rev.
1063 from June):

1. Kon versions between 1058 and 1062 were too generous with it's
   CPU time, so users with medium to low-end machines (with
   concurrent tasks running) could have experienced situations
   where Kon didn't catch up with the keyboard. The new version
   fixes this problem, and also allows the user to set the priority
   of Kon.

2. When editing text within multi-line comments, Kon could also
   operate very slow. This was probably most noticeable when editing
   Java-scripts in an HTML-document.


A number of other optimizations and fixes has also been done, mostly
to the screen display routines, see Kon read.me.

New features are (Some of these were available in 1063 in June):
----------------------------------------------------------------

  - A repeating command or macro halts when a cursor move fails, for
    example when trying to move past the end of the file.

  - Possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to keys which are occupied
    by system accelerators, i.e. Alt-F5-F11, F10..

  - An option to display the end-of-file visually.

  - Found words are higlighted.

  - All buffers are scrolled when scroll lock is active.

  - All bitmap font sizes are selectable, regardless of screen
    resolution.

  - Screen horizontal and vertical scroll units can now be set.

  - Variable width and outline fonts are now supported.

  - Drag and drop of fonts and colors can now be done.

  - Word wrap has been improved some. There is now also a soft-CR
    mode available which can be useful when editing readme files,
    mail messages etc.

  - A stream edit mode has been added

  + some more...
