*** Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE ***

* Action isabelle.select_structure (with keyboard shortcut C+7) extends
the editor selection by adding the enclosing formal structure, based on
formal markup by the prover. Repeated invocation of this action extends
the selection incrementally.

* The Output dockable (and its variants used elsewhere) has been
improved as follows:

   - Its vertical scroll position is maintained more carefully, when
     messages are printed incrementally.

   - Performance of printing messages repeatedly has improved slightly,
     with less load on the GUI thread.

   - Highlighting works via mouse hovering alone, without requiring
     C-modifier.

* An active highlight area in the input buffer or output panel may be
turned into a text selection by using the ALT modifier.


This refers to Isabelle/7a7ad99212b1. I still need to update the documentation 
(before the next release).

It might take some time until everybody realizes that we have a whole new life 
concerning formal structure of inner syntax (in input and output).
