Syn is an Open Source Text and Programming Editor with Syntaxhighlight for many Languages, and some IDE Features, like starting a program (e.g. Compiler) and capture the output, support for Projects etc. Syn is written in Delphi (Version 5, Updatepack 1) for maximum performance, stability and filesize ;-), hence it doesn't require any bulky VC++/VB Runtime or MFC libraries!

Syn supports Active Scripting, this means you can extend the functionallity with writing a Script. If you have written such a Script, or an other file (Autocomplete file or whatever), and you think it could be useful for others, just send them to me or to the Users Mailinglist (syn-users[at]lists[dot]sourceforge[dot]net), and we will add them. Of course, we will give you proper credits. Many thanks to all of you!

Parallel versions

Two branches of development are actually followed:

The 2.1 branch consists in adding functionalities and fixing bugs of the running version (2.0). This version is almost maintained by Stefan Ascher. To view the list of modifications, open the changelog.

The 3.0 contains big modifications of code for better handling of customization, storing settings to files instead of registry and multilanguage support (read what's new). This branch is maintained by Danail (most ideas come from him). For now, 3.0 is our goal. Preview version is already released, but still there is a lot of work before a beta release. Help us debugging!
