3.5.4

Precompiled jars are available in Maven Central (com.fifesoft:rsyntaxtextarea:3.5.4).

Highlights

🎁 Improved Toggle Comment behavior (#570, #589, #591)

The toggle comment action (mapped to Ctrl + / and Cmd + /) now behaves better for single-line comments.

Toggling line comments

🎁 Collapsed code fold's preview should honor default font color (#593, #598)

Hovering over a collapsed fold's icon shows a preview of the collapsed content. This preview could use the wrong "default" font color when the installed Theme or SyntaxScheme didn't define an explicit foreground color for a token type. This is now fixed to fall back to the text area's default foreground color, which matches the editor behavior.
