X-ConTEXT Editor portable

[rbon]

Hi to all,
from March 2009, ConTEXT Editor has switched it's license from freeware to open source (New BSD License) and it's sources (object Pascal) are hosted on Google.
winPenPack has powered a portable version of ConTEXT editor on the version 0.98.5 (this is a previous version; last version is 0.98.6).
Details:
- ConTEXT Editor web site: http://www.contexteditor.org/
- X-ConTEXT Editor (portable) download page: http://www.winpenpack.com/main/download.php?view.1205
- Google for source code: http://code.google.com/p/contexteditor/
- Softpedia (for editor details): http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-too ... TEXT.shtml
Regards
rbon

Here is a portable version of 0.98.6

Old topic update: the portable download link on ConTEXT webpage points in fact to the X-ConTEXT package (i.e., 'X-ConTEXT_0.98.6_rev1.zip'), but the current WinPenPack version is newer (X-ConTEXT v0.98.6 [rev3], apparently a simple X-Launcher update; see http://www.winpenpack.com/main/download.php?view.1205). Being OSS, ConTEXT has a source repo located at http://code.google.com/p/contexteditor/.

BTW, there's another TPFC topic about ConTEXT at http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/ ... php?t=5782 ...

Although it is still recommended in several places around the Net, ConTEXT development ceased in 2009, and there's a note at its site stating: "ConTEXT has not been developed for a long while. This is because ConTEXT was originally written using Delphi which requires a licence [sic] for users to develop with the components used. Sunday, 25th September 2011".

• ConTEXT is an advanced programmers' editor originally written by Eden Kirin over a decade ago and released as freeware. The editor quickly became popular as it was the arguably most powerful freeware editor for the Windows platform. Eden's work and interests changed and he neglected updating the program for several years. In 2008, recognizing he no longer had time for ConTEXT, Eden sold ConTEXT to its current owner who has decided to open source the still widely popular editor. The ConTEXT community plans on improving and modernizing ConTEXT to better compete with today's best freeware programmers' editors.

I tested rev1. Didn't realize there was a rev3. I got rev1 portable from here: http://www.contexteditor.org/downloads/

Now I have to retest again.

The google code page has been deleted.
Did somebody save the source maybe, and wants to share it?
Would be damn cool to maybe add functions.
