Upgrading Scintilla
-------------------
To upgrade the local Scintilla copy, use the ``scripts/update-scintilla.sh``
script.
To use it, you need to first obtain a copy of the Scintilla sources you want
to update to. This will generally mean checking out a release tag from the
Scintilla Mercurial repository, or extracting a tarball.
Then, just run the script from Geany's to source directory passing the path
to the Scintilla source directory as first argument, and follow the
instructions, if any::
./scripts/update-scintilla.sh /path/to/scintilla/
