TextVation v1.0.0 Release Notes

I am pleased to announce the first stable release of TextVation, a simple yet innovative text editor driven by the need for simplicity and efficiency. Written in C, TextVation provides a lightweight and responsive environment for text editing.

New Features

This release introduces a suite of essential text editing functionalities:

• Basic Text Editing: Insertion, deletion, and navigation through text
• Navigation Keys Support: The editor handles arrow keys (left, right, up, down), page up/down, home and end keys for ease of navigation.
• Syntax Highlighting: TextVation supports syntax highlighting for C and C++ including keywords, numbers, and strings.
• Raw Mode Operation: The editor operates in raw mode, handling all input directly for a controlled user experience.

In addition to these, TextVation is designed to be extensible, allowing for new features to be added with ease.

Command and Control

This version of TextVation includes a set of crucial command and control features:

• File Operations: Create, read and update (CRU) operations are fully supported.
• Search functionality: Users can find specific strings in the file with the Ctrl-F command.
• Save Options: Users can save their work using the Ctrl-S command.
• Quick Exit: Users can exit the program using the Ctrl-Q command. If there are unsaved changes, this command will need to be pressed twice in succession to exit without saving.
  These controls are part of my commitment to providing a user-friendly text editing experience.

I would like to express my gratitude to everyone involved for their contributions and help. I look forward to your feedback on this release and am excited to continue improving TextVation. Future updates may include additional functionalities such as line numbering and more extensive language support.
