[Bug 371021] [NEW] Update Package: Geany 0.17

[PauLoX]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: geany

Release Name: 0.17

Notes:
Bug fixes:
* Fix broken selection of "Document->Set Encoding" menu items.
* Fix broken non-incremental search with the toolbar search entry when
  pressing Enter (closes #2638180).
* Fix parsing of Make output (closes #2694479, patch by Andrea Mazzoleni).
* Fix crashes on quitting Geany (closes #2533990).
* Fix disabled Go to Tag items in the editor menu when using the keyboard (#2780044).
* Prevent crashes when two or more top level items in the symbol
  list have the same name (closes #2778246).

Prefs:
* Add an option to set an additional plugin lookup path.
* Add a hidden preference 'use_safe_file_saving'. This has serious side effects, please read the documentation before enabling this.

Interface:
* Add 'Send Selection to Terminal' command to the Edit->Format menu.
* Change the background colour of the search entries in the Find and Replace dialogs according to the search results.
* Add 'Close Other Documents' and 'Close All' menu items to the tab bar menu.
* Add an option to allow appending the toolbar to the main menu bar to save some vertical space.
* When a project is loaded, replace the project base path with the project name in the Documents sidebar for parent items (closes #2723679).
* Make the file open dialog more compact.
* Ellipsize tab labels and some status messages for very long filenames (closes #2777348).
* Add new toolbar element: Print (patch by Roland Baudin).
* Remember the active sidebar page between sessions.
* Add "Recent Projects" menu to the Project menu (#2728630,
  patch by Elias Pschernig).
* Add Tools->Configuration Files item for snippets.conf.

Filetypes:
* Fix wrong Fortran 90 comment characters when inserting templates.
* Add filetype ActionScript (patch by Chris Macksey).
* Fixes for CSS, Fortran and Ruby parsers.
* Add a trivial symbol parser for NSIS files.

Windows:
* On Windows, change the working directory to the Geany installation path at startup to avoid unwanted directory locking(closes #2626124).
* Fix window positioning on startup.
* Make build commands on Windows run synchronously to avoid problems with reading build commands' output.

Plugins:
* HTMLchars: Extend plugin by bulk replace and replace on
  input for special characters to their HTML entities.
* Splitwindow: Add keybindings for the split actions.
* VCDiff: Remove plugin from Geany. Use GeanyVC instead.

Plugin API:
* Deprecate sci_get_text(), sci_get_selected_text() and
  sci_get_text_range().
* Add sci_get_contents(), sci_get_contents_range() and
  sci_get_selection_contents() as replacement functions to provide an easier and cleaner API (initial patch by Frank).
* Make GEANY_FILETYPES_NONE = 0, sort filetype IDs randomly (so we can append new filetypes without breaking the ABI); add filetypes_by_title sorted list to GeanyData.

Documentation:
* Describe how to build Geany using the Waf build system.

Internationalisation:
* Updated translations: be, cs, de, es, fi, fr, hu, ja, pt_BR, ru, sv, tr, zh_CN
