5.7.006 Nov 2024 11:17 minor feature: Thanks to Bjà rn Kautler, Matthieu Casanova, Dale Anson, and Eric Le Lay for contributing to this release. Bug Fixes - Support arm64 Java installations in the macOS launcher (#4123 - Bjà rn Kautler) - Do not forward the --verbose parameter in the macOS launcher to jEdit during investigating startup problems (Bjà rn Kautler) - Show Temurin download link in macOS launcher if no compatible Java version was found instead of java.com and oracle.com where Java 8 is promoted (Bjà rn Kautler) - Support Java installations with paths that are not following the old naming conventions regarding their version in the macOS launcher (Bjà rn Kautler) - Bundle the new MacOS 1.5 plugin instead of the old MacOSX 1.3 plugin to become compatible with newer Java versions (Bjà rn Kautler) - Fix NullPointerException during saving autosave settings if no previous autosave directory was set (Bjà rn Kautler) - BeanShell snippets and macros now work consistently and not suddenly change behaviour anymore just because some BeanShell snippet defined a class. This now disables reflective access to otherwise inaccessible fields through simple syntax though, that used to work after a snippet with a class definition was loaded.
