Unfortunately it was not possible to build 1.38 without failures for EPEL7. Here is 1.37 for now, probably I'm able to point out the issue and also build a newer version of the Geany plugins. Stay tuned for those.

Can I ask why 1.38 fails for EPEL7?

Will you be able to build geany-themes in addition to geany-plugins?

Thank you for your work!

I have been running 1.37 for a couple of weeks and it seems to work fine. However, the plugins also need to be updated from 1.36 to 1.37 as there may be inconsistencies. For example, I am using the Project plugin for 1.36 and when closing a project it no longer closes the project files under Geany 1.37. This worked fine when both were 1.36 wherefore I suspect some inconsistencies between editor and plugins.

Thanks in advance.

Can I ask why geany 1.38 could not be built for CentOS 7? What is/are the specific failure(s)?

From the Geany Mailinglist:

> So I did a quick try to build Geany 1.38 for EPEL7, right now the problem is that `./configure` already fails with this message:

Ok, thats not one that is fixable in a practical sense, Scintilla
versions after the 3.x.x stable versions do require C++17, and the
changes between the old version and the new versions (two major
versions after all) have too many changes to be practical to support
both.

Well, I guess Flatsnaps, dockers or other containerised mechanisms
would maybe allow for a newer C++ compiler to build against a newer
runtime.  Docker is used to do the Windows cross compiles and CI now.
Would need to run in the container too so the newer C++ runtime
library was available I guess.  But I am no container expert.
